Game Thread #25: Marlins (14-10) at Brewers (14-10)

Mordecai_brown_tiny by Jeff Sackmann on in Game Threads Comment 359 comments

I'm curious to see how this game turns out.  We've had two relatively low-scoring contests between powerhouse offenses, and not only that, but the starters have thrown with the hand that the other team feasts on. 

This afternoon is different--the Brewers will start lefty Manny Parra and the Marlins go with Ricky Nolasco, a righty.  It's also different in that neither of them have been any semblance of good so far this year.  Here's the BR Game Preview with all the numbers to that effect you could ever want.

It's getting old to say this, but once again, Parra may be pitching for his job.  He's been passable, but has topped out at four innings twice.  If Ned has to pick between someone mediocre who can give him 5 innings and someone mediocre who can give him 6+, we all know what decision he'll make.

Here are the lineups--it's reserve day at Miller Park.  It's not a bad idea, either: first righty starter in a while, so it make sense to put Gwynn and Counsell in there.

Game time is 1:05 CT.  Let's go Brewers!

Wet Paper Bag?

I hope there’s a wet paper bag that Counsell/Rivera/TGJ can hit out of. Or at least try to.

I shall be there.. by myself (Discount tix + nothing going on = I’ll go)

I don't mind the bench guys getting in

With Cameron coming back on Tues Gwynn’s chances for playing time will go down a bunch. Give him a chance to get at least one start in. And two days off for Kendall can only help.

Can't pitch Gagne in rain. He’s like the B-2 bomber of baseball.--TheJay

Its not like Billy has been ripping the ball and Gwynn provides a defensive upgrade as well.

Do you call that a beer bong?

I will agree

it looked like a smaller, “travel size” bong.

I think Manny may have just made his last start for a while.

Personally, I still think it makes more sense to send Bush to the pen and McClung down, but I doubt Ned sees it that way. It was a good start, and he made it through 5 1/3, which is better than his last couple of turns, but I don’t think it will be good enough to keep his spot in the rotation….

"He just needs to eat some bananas." - Lou Piniella

by Ted Simmons Speed Camp on Apr 27, 2008 3:05 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Which is exactly my point.

Ned likes Bush, so if it’s a close call, he keeps his starting spot. Though it was great compared to what he had been putting up.

Our Bullpen

Moustache had to be thinking that even a few guys from the T-Bow/Gagne/Mota/Riske pool were completely toast, the chances of every single one of them pitching terribly at the same time was pretty low.

I really liked the logic—uncorrelated bets, and all that. Who cares if Gagne struggles when you can plug in one of our corps of former all-stars? They can’t ALL be complete busts, right?

That’s not really much consolation right now.

It's official.

I’m qualified to manage the brewers. I can pull names out of hats with the best of them.

Way, way too much booing here

Same Friday night.

It’s part of the game folks. Do they boo when a man runs in motion pre-snap in football?

I do. Especially against the Vikings.

If you had any sig other than "Also, cheese.", I'd tell you to switch to

haha

I’m a big fan of ‘also, cheese’ as well. It sums up my entire worldview in two words.

Also, cheese.

Yeah.

At least they can nap between at bats…

Actually a win off a two-run jack by Braun would be ideal

now we don't need any more XBH's

just one decent single in the next two ABs.

Also, cheese.

Decent single?

Hell, I’d take a decidedly indecent, downright Helms-ian single.

He's extremely quick and good.

Forsooth, dude.

Also, cheese.

True

But it’s better than a Rickie Weeks out.
