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

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….

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.
Last week I went to Philadelphia, but it was closed.
