Game Thread #26: Brewers (14-11) at Cubs (16-9)

Mordecai_brown_tiny by Jeff Sackmann on in Game Threads Comment 428 comments

Lots of storylines here, in addition to the usual Cubs-Brewers stuff.  Sheets is back, let's hope for more than 5 innings.  Cameron has finally arrived, though with the way Kapler and Gwynn played, we didn't miss him very much.  And, of course, we only had the one day off, so we need a lot of innings from our starters to protect our hopeless overworked bullpen (TM).

The matchup is Sheets and Jason Marquis, starting at 7:05 CT.  The Cubs are Soriano-less, but with the way the rest of the lineup has been hitting, it really doesn't matter.  If you want to delve deeper into the splits, here's the BR Game Preview.

I'm not sure I'm going to keep doing this for every game all season long, but at least for this series, I fired up the Project-a-Tron again.  ZiPS really doesn't like Marquis this year, so it gives the Brewers a pretty big edge:

  • Brewers 5.85
  • Cubs 4.5
  • Brewers WinExp: 57%

That's as dramatic of a difference as the Project-a-Tron has spit out all year; without taking home-field into account, it's a 62/38 split in favor of the Crew.  Mr. Tron, of course, is assuming that Sheets will give us 6+, and that his arm won't fall off.

Go Brewers!

I run all NL West games and then compare results vs Vegas odds. I run the Brewers games because Jeff is cool enough to have his own predicting system. Hope you don’t mind. Just doing it for fun. :)

Pfft

Way to go Jeff.

This is exactly the sort of half-assed, poorly edited and fact-checked, mean-spirited nonsense that will always keep that site to nothing more than Jeff, and a dozen of his drunk neighbors. I won’t be surprised at all if SB Nation wakes up soon, and goes with another Brewers blogger; someone that can at least attract hits.

Nice job guys; you had a nice chance to market your site, and attract some new visitors, but you decide to to go low brow, and play the penis-envying little brother role.

I believe the correct response is as follows:

I’m rubber; you’re glue
Anything yo say bounces off of me and sticks to you.

I don’t think I’m that obnoxious, even toward Cubs fans. (I prefer “pithy.”) Well, at the very least, I don’t think I’m insulting.

But I certainly haven’t gotten the feeling at all that Jeff is mean spirited at all, in fact I think the whole 5 questions thing every series is really nice and good, fun way to reach out and chat with other respectable fans of opposing teams.

Uecker thinks

he’s having problems with his grip. That’s why he’s going to his sweaty head between every pitch…

I swear he always does that.

"the 3rd"

That’s a funny name for it.

He's extremely quick and good.

And neither by Weeks!

(or Gamel or Brewer)

He's extremely quick and good.

3 errors in the last two games

McClung must have shown Jeff’s article to the team and they got a little big headed.

threw strikes

He shouldn't be

Sheets is pitching just as well as him minus any semblance of proper velocity or control.

He's extremely quick and good.

Sheets is having some real problems

That pitch was horrible.

It's still tied

And Jason Marquis is still their pitcher.

He's extremely quick and good.

72 pitches already

And top of the order for the Cubs next inning. You have to think about going to the pen soon with everyone rested.

Could be worse...

I sure wish I felt confident in our bullpen when the temperature was outside of the 73-77 degree range.
