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

Fish pitcher gives up a pretty high batting average vs lefties
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 call it a shotgun. Have you ever seen Vietnam war footage of “shotguns” which were smoke and not beverage?

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….

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.

Kendall showing his raw strength by fisting it to the pitcher’s mound.
He's extremely quick and good.

Seinfeld game summary
Woman #1(crying) : “We just watched the Brewers/Marlins game again.”
Woman #2(crying) : “It’s even better the second time.”
Elaine (sarcasticly) : “What, did they make it longer?”

Bush
Bush was optioned to AAA.
Seriously how does Turnbow continue to have a job?

Reminds me of 1982
I’m knocking Yost any more than I did Rogers. But maybe a new skipper will let this team get out of this funk and start playing like they should. I can not believe that this team let a very average pitcher handcuff them all day. For the past few years the Crew has done pretty will against “good pitchers” and made too many others that are average or less than average look like the second coming of Cy Young. My .02 and nothing more.

Actually,
I’m fairly certain at least one of the season previews linked to this site predicted a slow start, a Yost firing, and a mad rush to a wild card berth.
But I’m not sure 14-11 and 2 games out qualifies as a slow start. And I can’t imagine any likely to occur scenario that would result in Melvin canning Yost mid-season, even if most of us think that would be the smart move.
Then again, I’m the guy who thought that Parra would get sent to AAA instead of Bush…
