PrintJosh Fogg versus Dave Bush. Who will be more mediocre?
The JS blog has the lineups. Dusty tinkered a little, with Freel batting second today, while Ned is sticking with last night's secret sauce.
Here are your spreadsheet-tastic predicted results:
- Brewers 5.49
- Reds 4.32
- Brewers Win Expectancy: 64%
Go Brewers!

its funny
the more mediocre pitcher will probably get the win. At one point Dave Bush was a real up-and-comer. Now he probably belongs in our bullpen. He's still better than fogg though, he of the carreer 91 ERA +.
Dave Bush vs Josh Fogg?
Maybe you have to have four letters in your first and last name to play. Go Bill Hall!
"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"
If Josh Fogg was on our team
...do you think Ned Yost could resist calling him Foggy?
He's extremely quick and good.
What kind of question is that?
Of course! I'm still waiting for him to drop a "Gagne-y" or a "Riske-y". "Cameron-y" would by fun too.
Let's brainstorm
Ganny? Gaggy? It's gotta be Cammy for Cameron. I can't even imagine how he could turn Riske into a diminutive.
He's extremely quick and good.
votto vs. hatteberg
imagine joe dillon getting platooned with prince fielder in prince's rookie season. now dial that outrage down to about 80% of your initial outrage. still pretty upset right?
i understand keeping bruce in the minors till june 1, i can even sorta understand keeping bailey in AAA to work on his control. but why on earth is joey votto the backup first basemen? what is the point of that scenario?
thank you ned/doug! ned has some head-scratchers, but imagine dusty/wayne. i'd be freaking out! seriously.
ZiPS
hatteberg: .261/.348/.374
votto: .281/.357/.466 (bill james projects a .920 ops)

votto: 24

hatteberg: 1-2 years
votto: 6 years

In other news...
I just downloaded Juan Nieves' no-hitter game off of iTunes. Pretty cool game- there were a lot more nice catches than I thought there were, like some of Molitor's line drive catches, Jim Paciorek dive towards the beginning of the game, and Sveum's double play ball. It also amazed me that the announcers didn't mention the no hitter once until the last out was recorded. Nowadays, there's at least a passing mention of it, and they usually pan to a shot of the pitcher in the dugout. The closest they came to mentioning it was saying he was "doing a fine job" after 7 innings and saying he's "been very sharp tonight" after 8. You know they were thinking about it though, because as soon as Yount caught the last out, the announcer was yelling about it.
Now it's on to watch game 6 of the 2003 NLCS, and to revel in Cubs pain.

Huh.
"Mediocre David Bush" is an anagram of "Bad Crime Videos, Duh." Who knew?
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
i still have a problem
with the whole CF-of-the-day in the 2 hole approach. I'd much rather see either JJ or Hart in that spot. Not sold on Cameron, with his high strike out totals, in the spot when he gets back either. I'm sure this has been discussed other places on this site, but what are people's thoughts? am i the only one that doesn't like this? it's hard to argue when we're 6-1, but i'd still much rather see the top of our order more closely resemble last years, with JJ-Braun-Prine at 2-3-4
by SunglassesAtNight on Apr 9, 2008 5:46 PM CDT reply actions
your argument makes sense
the other side is that Cameron takes a lot of pitches and runs well. Maybe he'll trend toward fewer SOs as well. How was he in ST?
Another good thing in general is that the whole lineup can cause damage. Imagine the other team's pitcher: his "easy" batters are the likes of Corey, JJ and Jason Kendall.
Taking pitches
I think the idea is that he's going to give Weeks plenty of opportunities to run. He walks a lot, so the strikeouts don't bug me.
He's extremely quick and good.
i agree
I think that's the logic, i'm just not sure how much I like it - especially with Kendall batting 9. Fortunately he's been playing well in that spot, but I don't like the idea of having a guy with such a high number of strikeouts essentially batting 3rd. Once Kendall cools down, I could see many innings ending wih a Mike Cameron strickout only to have Prince leading off the next inning. I don't like that thought. I would much rather see someone in that spot who will at least put the ball in play and advance runners that way. I also think having cameron's agressiveness on the base pads behind our heavy hitters would do us more good than in front.
by SunglassesAtNight on Apr 9, 2008 6:33 PM CDT up reply actions
Well...
I still don't mind him there, even if you look at him as the "second #3 hitter"; he's got some pop. If strikeouts at the top of the order bother you, you probably aren't happy about Weeks leading off, either, huh?
He's extremely quick and good.
not as much
he's primed for a big year, however, his strikeouts are part of the reason i don't like having cameron there. i don't like the idea of those strikeout machines back-to-back in the order

He's extremely quick and good.
add to the long list of worthless reasons to like him
he doesn't make excuses. Based on the support from Ned and Zappa, I could pitch for the team if I didn't get flustered, studied hard and didn't make excuses. I might even be able to work up to 69mph...
What was Weeks doing getting in Hart's way on that anyway?
That has to be the outfielder's ball all the way, doesn't it? Momentum going toward home and all?
He's extremely quick and good.
Ok guys
The key to success for Bush this inning is to limit them to maybe 1 or 2 runs. You don't want to get that big 4- or 5-run inning.
Thanks Bill...

Damn
I'm only hearing this, was that Hart's fault or Kendall's?

Hart's mostly
But like I said above, Weeks didn't help by going so far out into RF.
He's extremely quick and good.
looked like a good enough throw to me
but Bill is dissin the throw. Someone in the stands must have some kryptonite.
It was weak and up the line
It's not like he was near the wall or anything.
He's extremely quick and good.
Well, up the line into the runner's path
It's not like Kendall can just dive for the ball right into Phillips, which is what he practically had to do.
He's extremely quick and good.
My vote goes to Kendall
although Corey didn't look all that inspired

Anybody else hope
that 2 minor league starts will be enough for Gallardo and he gets called up after his outing tonight? I know who I want him to replace!

IIRC
Weren't the Brewers originally planning on giving him two rehab starts in Huntsville and then a third, if necessary, in Nashville? Maybe the third start is still only "if needed".

One more rehab start for Yo, working up to 100 pitches.

This reminds me
I uploaded Weeks' destruction of Soto to YouTube.
The Brewers lost that game after scoring first with two runs on a sac fly; I hope the same happens now for the Reds.
He's extremely quick and good.
Regardless
If the Brewers can't score two runs of Foggy, they have bigger problems than Hart's throwing and Kendall's catching.
He's extremely quick and good.
Bill thinks Tony catches that ball
I think Cameron does but Tony does not.
He's extremely quick and good.
I say they both do
but i did like Bill talking about Bush winning games as the ball is whacked to the CF wall.

How Can Any Serious Person
suggest that anyone other than Bush should be dropped from the rotation once YoGa comes back?
by James Stanley Cocanower on Apr 9, 2008 7:53 PM CDT reply actions
agreed
but my thinking is if he is coming in for long relief we are probably already down. I'm not saying its ok to give away the win, just that I'd rather have him not give up a lead, which would be an unlikely occurrence. But I'm open to other uses for Bush
Don't forget who our manager is!
The Wallbangers won because they played the game like kids! Let's do that again!!!
I understand
that Yost isn't smart enough to figure it out until it becomes even more obvious (i.e. loss tonight, wins the next two).
But to hear Jim Powell suggest that its a wide open competition? The simple fact that "Bushie" is pitching in the third spot in the rotation is an embarrassment.

that whole competition talk
is what Milwaukee sells as 'Milorganite.'

just skip his turn when they have off days? Too afraid to do that b/c of Sheets?

Yeah, he's out of options
And Kapler could probably refuse an assignment to AAA if he even cleared waivers in the first place.

Melvin does too
there was a story about him following him for the past couple years hoping to get him on the team or something like that.
I keep getting beeping from my Gaydar unit, but it has to be defective.
Melvin has a banana for every former Ranger

He's extremely quick and good.
it's kinda funny
"if he even clears waivers". Lots of interest in Gabe the last few years. : )

The difference now is that he's showing he can still be a useful outfielder instead of a low-minors manager.

Turnbow takes the mound,
and a tense silence grips the BCB community.
Ned Yost's Brewers: Braun Over Brains
yeah
he's the Reds' answer to Bill Hall.
Only he plays for us.

Kapler
I was expecting Ned to replace Gross with him by now.
"You have no honor!" - McClung to Fukudome
Uh, no. That was Gross, at least according to his jersey.

not all Bush and T-bow
Our bats haven't been particularly active tonight/ I'm defending them though.

There were a couple of drives early that would have bee out of the park other nights.
Braun's shot made it out because it was more of a drive than a fly, and Dunn needed the assist. Other than that though, you're pretty much right. They made Fogg look a lot better than he is.

In other games...
Zach Greinke shutting out the Yankees through seven,
Detroit in good shape to get their first win,
Cubs and Pirates in extras again- tied at two heading to the bottom of the 12th.
The Wallbangers won because they played the game like kids! Let's do that again!!!

Bush is what he is.
Which is a #5 starter or long relief guy. It's not his fault we keep trying to turn him into a #3.
As for T-Bow, could those fastballs be any straighter?
And here come the boos.

or a guy who should take his millions
and go somewhere else. Hey, maybe they need some pitching development guy in the org. But there are better options to start and to relieve.

I have been pleading with them on their blog to win for awhile now
Funnily enough, I am starting to think this Internet thing has no impact on real-world events.
He's extremely quick and good.
I'm not sure I trust anyone in our pen at this point.

I'd rather they get it out of their system on a Bush start as opposed to Carlos or Manny

Didn't look like Valentin wanted to catch that one..

Dumatrait got through the 13th for the Pirates
Gomez/Rivas/McLouth coming up for Pittsburgh in the bottom.
He's extremely quick and good.
going out on a limb
I think we'll see the 14th
Uecker
Dennis Hopper apparently plays for the Reds these days.

just let me know when he misjudges another flyball
Here's a drive, DEEP TO LEFT, WAAAAY BACK, ANNNNNNDD, caught 15 feet short of the warning track
It's Uecker
He always announces the later innings.

Oh I believe you
I would just think it would be easy to tell them apart: if at any point there is ten seconds of silence, it's Uecker.
He's extremely quick and good.
My funny Eucker story
I was doing some work in the visitors booth at GABP one afternoon, and he was in early to record some promos or somesuch. He struggled mightily with a certain phrase over and over, having to restart several times. He finally gets through the bad part, almost done saying something like "so come on down to...." and a steamboat blares its horn, and the window to the booth is wide open. Ruined his perfect take. He loses his mind, finishing with "come on down and hear a god damned steamboat blow it's fucking horn!!!". He spins around in the chair expecting to see his producer behind him, but I'm the only other person in the booth. All I could say while laughing was, "Welcome to Cincinnati." :)
Please Note: I may be totally full of shit.

Pirates threatening again
Jedi Master Fukudome does a crappy job of playing a ball and it turns into a double
The Pays Big 21 entrants must be getting excited
Only six more runs to go!

Yeah
20% of his lifetime HR total, though.

Carlos
needs to be the stopper tomorrow. On the bright side, at least it's not Crappy or Vargas pitching.
