Game Thread #36: Cardinals (22-15) at Brewers (17-18)

A winning streak!  (Sort of.)  Ben Sheets looks to keep it going against Joel Pineiro.  Fun facts about Pineiro: he won his only career start against the Brewers, and he has faced Jason Kendall more than the rest of the Milwaukee offense combined. 

More matchups, as always, at the BR Game Preview, which reminds us that Rickie now has an .833 OPS against Isringhausen.  Hmm...did that go up last night?

Game time is a TV-friendly 2:40 CT.

Go Brewers!

Bring Back The Old Logo!

Here's a fun projection game

Who has more strikeouts, the 5 odd-numbered players, or the 4 evens? I’m pretty sure the evens can overcome the one-man advantage.

if sheets goes 9

he might win all by himself!

Also, cheese.

by Jeff Sackmann on May 10, 2008 2:29 PM CDT up reply actions  

i'll take the odds

6-3

Bring Back The Old Logo!

no TV for a Sheets start. Wait. Yay! I’ll just listen to Uke!

Let's Play Ball

Hopefully last rubs off on the team today

"He's been very, very impressive," Yost said. "I mean really impressive. I mean really, really impressive."

last night that is

"He's been very, very impressive," Yost said. "I mean really impressive. I mean really, really impressive."

Great start Sheeter

Extremely natural in front of that camera…

Hmmm...

Isringhausen out of the closers role…interesting.

Jim's comedy hour

Bob mentioned Hanley’s Ramirez’s new deal

Jim: He did have a good series.

Also, cheese.

If good series against the Brewers

got people $70 million contracts, there would be a lot of teams with payrolls matching the Yankees this year.

The TV play-by-play guy's voice really annoys me

At least Brian Anderson’s voice doesn’t make me grit my teeth (just some of the things he says).

by harveyswallbangers on May 10, 2008 3:03 PM CDT up reply actions  

Also...

I never really got the logic behind combining team announcers for these regional games. I get that it’s probably cheaper for Fox, and these guys know more about the teams than the C team of Fox announcers would. But there’s no rapport at all…shoving two virtual strangers in the booth together doesn’t make for good TV.

by svaustin on May 10, 2008 3:05 PM CDT up reply actions  

Seems like it would be more interesting to bring in national guys to get outside opinions.

a bloop hit

After the close call walk. Molina up.

by ol Pete on May 10, 2008 4:08 PM CDT reply actions  

Wow.

Bronson Arroyo has an 8.63 ERA. I don’t think a FIP of 5.90 has ever been so reassuring.

Also, cheese.

bloop hit by Corey

Hate those when the other team does it. Gotta get going here.

Sexson

would’ve charged the mound on that pitch

good freaking grief Rickie!!!

by Braunstalker on May 10, 2008 4:50 PM CDT reply actions  

wow

did they give Cameron the take sign after 0-2?

by sheeter on May 10, 2008 4:52 PM CDT reply actions  

DirecTV gamebreak

is a commercial for nascar. I guess they did that for the nedder.

by sheeter on May 10, 2008 4:56 PM CDT reply actions  

yes

they are in much better shape now. 1 down with 6 outs left.

by molitorfan on May 10, 2008 4:59 PM CDT up reply actions  

Giants up 8-1

thought that was a misprint….then realized Lincecum was pitching

by UWbrewball on May 10, 2008 5:10 PM CDT reply actions  

that still seems wrong

unless he also drove in those eight runs…

by sheeter on May 10, 2008 5:12 PM CDT up reply actions  

so much fun

i wish i could see it on tv.

Also, cheese.

me too

but Uek is pretty fired up

can't wait

till it’s on that instant replay video thing on gameday

by somethingvague on May 10, 2008 5:22 PM CDT up reply actions  

hell

I wish I could hear it on radio

by somethingvague on May 10, 2008 5:20 PM CDT up reply actions  

I'm hoping

they go to the end of the Brewer game on FOX after the Yankees game ends here in Minnesota.

by oconnobe on May 10, 2008 5:22 PM CDT up reply actions  

if they do

let me know…I’m in MN, watching gameday and writing a paper

by somethingvague on May 10, 2008 5:24 PM CDT up reply actions  

You may know this already,

but I can usually get a decent radio reception of Uecker on the 106.3 station out of River Falls. I’m on the east side of the Twin Cities, though.

Like Bill says

another Prince HR against a lefty.

by ol Pete on May 10, 2008 5:24 PM CDT reply actions  

wondering

Is Bill trying at all to be non-biased on the national broadcast?

by oconnobe on May 10, 2008 5:24 PM CDT up reply actions  

He’s did a nice job of staying stoic on that homer.

by svaustin on May 10, 2008 5:26 PM CDT up reply actions  

Uecker

“oooooh, he had a nice cut on that baby.”

by oconnobe on May 10, 2008 5:28 PM CDT reply actions  

he is getting really excited

about all of the pitches he think they can hit. He was loud on Hart’s fly out too

by molitorfan on May 10, 2008 5:30 PM CDT up reply actions  

At least

Braun and Prince will get another shot in the 9th if needed

by molitorfan on May 10, 2008 5:34 PM CDT reply actions  

Yost's postgame explanation:

“Well, those people that really understand the game will know why we sent Billy in that situation.”

by svaustin on May 10, 2008 5:37 PM CDT reply actions  

And it sounds like Gagne is coming in

that could be a bad sign

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

Acknowledgement sign?

Kendall has to give an ack. . . . .
Obviously, he didn’t. so the squeeze s/b off

by tvnick5 on May 10, 2008 5:39 PM CDT reply actions  

it's a curse

could’ve been a DP ball, but instead another grounder through the infield

by ol Pete on May 10, 2008 5:43 PM CDT up reply actions  

pull him Ned

you’re managing for your job.

by molitorfan on May 10, 2008 5:44 PM CDT up reply actions  

Walk him please

Whenever prince is at first, he should charge the mound and yell "MEAT!"

by Jordan M on May 10, 2008 5:46 PM CDT reply actions  

I hate

bringing the infield in

by sheeter on May 10, 2008 5:49 PM CDT reply actions  

just a blown hold

Brewers fan lost in South Carolina.

by SCBrewer on May 10, 2008 5:56 PM CDT reply actions  

ha, seems like

even the cards tv guy wants the nedder to be fired

by sheeter on May 10, 2008 6:02 PM CDT reply actions  

why fire ned?

Gagne’s the problem

Brewers fan lost in South Carolina.

by SCBrewer on May 10, 2008 6:04 PM CDT reply actions  

exactly

not exactly looking good for our next four starts. We need wins whenever Sheets is pitching. He gave us a quality start today and we just couldn’t get it done. What on earth is to be done with Gagne?

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

by verno329 on May 10, 2008 6:11 PM CDT up reply actions  

Gagne

shouldn’t be allowed to pitch in games in which Sheets starts

by molitorfan on May 10, 2008 6:09 PM CDT reply actions  

or any game for that matter

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

by verno329 on May 10, 2008 6:11 PM CDT up reply actions  

NO MORE GAGNE!!

And another loss do to Gagne in the 9th… who’s with me when I say, Gagne needs to go!!!

Bases Loaded - 1 Out - Bottom Of The 8th

“The bottom line is I missed the sign,” said Kendall, a 13-year veteran known for his fundamental soundness. “It’s unacceptable. I can’t do that. I lost us the game right there.”

Now while I agree that it is unacceptable that he missed the sign and completely screwed us in that inning, I also think that he should have never been put in that situation in the first place. What is Ned Yost thinking putting on a suicide squeeze in that situation? All it takes at that point is a fly ball marginally deep for Billy to score and give us the lead. A base hit probably scores 2! (If Sveum doesn’t screw that up too) I just don’t understand why we would even try that and it is frustrating to say the least.
