Game Thread #17: Brewers (10-6) at Reds (7-10)

Mordecai_brown_tiny by Jeff Sackmann on in Game Threads

Jeff Suppan goes up against Johnny Cueto.  Perhaps you've heard of this Cueto fellow?  He's pretty good, though his lifetime winning percentage against the Brewers is .000.  We'll be looking for more than five innings from Suppan, because I don't think Melvin will let Yost have more than 13 pitchers.  (Please?!)

Here's your Baseball-Reference game preview.  When you see the lineups, feel free to post them in the comments.  I predict that someone with a low on-base percentage will lead off for the Reds.

Project-a-tron says:

  • Brewers 5.5
  • Reds 5.1
  • Brewers WinExp: 49%

Let's go Crew!

Varsity Lineup!

Something about that lineup makes me very happy.

9 more game

And Mike Cameron will replace Gabe Gross. We’ll have to find something new to complain about.

That shouldn't be too hard

cool site feature

I love the ‘related stories’ stuff on the right sidebar. For instance, I’ve been tagging every day’s game thread with the starting pitchers, so two of the related stories are Supp’s last two starts.

Also, cheese.

Looked low to me

"He's been very, very impressive," Yost said. "I mean really impressive. I mean really, really impressive."

by MadJimiBrewha on Apr 19, 2008 12:14 PM CDT   0 recs

I hope that strike zone is consistent

and Soup keeps his stuff down

by ol Pete on Apr 19, 2008 12:14 PM CDT   0 recs

Did they mention Sheets at all prior to the game?

I only caught a couple of minutes of the intro, and they seem to be staying away from the subject since I’ve tuned in.

I have

gameday audio WTMJ but I just tuned in when the game started. They haven’t mentioned it since I started listening

Good time for Prince's second homer

Ned

gave his short “just being cautious” line on the Yost show with Uecker in the pregame.

yeah, but its like getting info from the Kremlin – so nothing illuminating

by ol Pete on Apr 19, 2008 12:28 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I don't know

But Jim Powell says Sheets feels better today than he did after his start against the Mets.

Funny Kapler quote

“Gabe Kapler also reported improvement in his injured right shoulder and said he feels he can do anything that Ned Yost would want him to do. “

I’m not even going to go there.

He's extremely quick and good.

Prince

I just got back from Philly (attended Flyers-Caps game 4) but my signature is now updated!

But maybe you can still find him somewhere out there.

I missed Prince

Did he try to lay down a bunt there?

Yeah

Tried to bunt up the third base line because of the shift.

You guys just tripped me out.

I forgot I rewound a bit to catch part of the pregrame, and I thought we were still between innings when you started talked bout Hart’s homer.

Corey down

now we only need JJ and Kendall to get their first out of the way.

argh

I really wish they’d offer both TV broadcasts on MLB.tv…the Reds announcers are getting on my nerves.

I am amazed it is not blacked out due to Fox

Its all about the Bullpen this season that is the key.

by WSB Chris on Apr 19, 2008 12:35 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

oh, right!

it’s saturday afternoon! totally forgot about that.

Also, cheese.

by Jeff Sackmann on Apr 19, 2008 12:35 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

luckily

no blackouts whatsoever in Europe. :)

by Zeyes on Apr 19, 2008 12:36 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I'm actually not minding them too much

I missed the game last night, so the last broadcast I heard was the Cards guys. Ugh.

Also, cheese.

Gross just look lost at home plate

I for one will be happier than Mike Cameron when he returns

Gross looks mystified up there.

not bad

Also, cheese.

Big K there. Seems like a lot of pitches that inning though.

It would be nice if he got deep in this game since Torres, Riske and Gagne threw yesterday.

let's just spot him a 10-run lead

and Turnbow can go in for a three-inning save.

by Zeyes on Apr 19, 2008 12:47 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Big K for Soup

leaves Big Country out there at 2nd.

I wonder if Adam stays in Cincy after this year.

Warning?

It wasn’t intentional, but I’m surprised there wasn’t a warning issued after a guy who hit a HR got hit right there.

Is Hall on third?

I hope so

He's extremely quick and good.

by battlekow on Apr 19, 2008 1:09 PM CDT   0 recs

Nope

Guess it didn’t really matter.

He's extremely quick and good.

by battlekow on Apr 19, 2008 1:09 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Thats right

Soup can get him in from anywhere ;)

by verno329 on Apr 19, 2008 1:10 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

makes sense he didn't tag

if Dunn played it off the wall, Hall would score … but if he tagged, maybe not.

Also, cheese.

by Jeff Sackmann on Apr 19, 2008 1:10 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

no

Good time for Prince's second homer

now at 95 pitches through seven. If he doesn’t come back out in the 8th with the score 3 to nothing, I’d say the Gigantos have about a 50/50 chance of winning.

Anyone think he can crack .350 this year?
