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

Mordecai_brown_tiny by Jeff Sackmann on in Game Threads

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!

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.

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."

Extremely natural in front of that camera…

Hmmm...

Isringhausen out of the closers role…interesting.

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

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).

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.

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

Dbacks

trying to mount a rally against the Cubs. Bases loaded, one out, 1-0 Cubs.

Dempster in with 100+ pitches

and they escape

by ol Pete on May 10, 2008 4:27 PM CDT to parent up reply reply   0 recs

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

Bases loaded

Giants up 8-1

by UWbrewball on May 10, 2008 5:10 PM CDT reply reply   0 recs
