Game Thread #45: Brewers (20-24) at Pirates (21-23)

Mordecai_brown_tiny by Jeff Sackmann on in Game Threads Comment 375 comments

It's Manny Parra vs. Paul Maholm.  Here's the BR Game Preview.  Game time is 6:05 CT.

For all the struggles the Brewers have had against Pittsburgh, we did win the series (handily, I might add) last year.  Whatever else you think about the Pirates, or the Brewers right now, this certainly isn't the same challenge as a weekend at Fenway.

Go Brewers!

Villy out of rotation

What the.. Villy was removed from the rotation and they are putting McClung in his place.

Bush will start the series finale.

Field Better

Man wish I could dig up the Yost quote about putting in Aquino because he can field better. Maybe that’s it, McClung fields better.

by SgtClueLs on May 20, 2008 6:09 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Can't independently confirm an actual quote

But I have sources: here’s a forum post on the topic, as well as a JS recap of the game that mentions Wise not fielding a bunt pop up prior to being relieved. Oh, and here’s B-R.com’s play-by-play.

Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.

by TheJay on May 20, 2008 6:16 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

And I can't independently confirm this but

firenedyost.com post

[Aquino was put in because] “he fields his position better.”

I don’t even know what the hell that’s supposed to mean. Is that supposed to be some kind of dig on Matt Wise for not catching the popup bunt? If that’s your intention, Bill Hall seems to play better defense the closer he gets to home plate (woo, extrapolation) - perhaps this is when he should get that much-anticipated pitching appearance. Maybe Yost expected Garner to play for one run - lay down a sac bunt or two, maybe a stolen base mixed in. If that’s the case, you can almost see the logic. From where I was sitting (what’s up, section 214?!?), Greg Aquino sucks with runners on base, and that overrules pretty much everything else.

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

by Jordan M on May 20, 2008 6:19 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

link

Wise appeared banged-up after the play, squatting behind the mound and repeatedly adjusting his belt or his cup. Manager Ned Yost elected to call for Aquino.

“To be honest with you, Aquino fields his position better,” Yost later reasoned. “He slide-steps better, has a quicker delivery to the plate. When Burke got on first base, they’re looking to bunt, to hit-and-run, to steal. To be more defensive, we went with Aquino right there.”

He's extremely quick and good.

I would guess that means Villy stays in Milwaukee though.

He'll be in the bullpen.

I admit we seem to be the only two people around who didn’t want to see McClung retroactively DFA’ed, but WTF? WTF? WTF? So is DiFelice now the crappy short reliever?

As a general complaint

It would be nice if Fox Sports Net could figure out how to produce a live sporting event. The sound is terrible, you can’t here B&B over the 12 people in the stands. It’s driving me nuts, because I think I’m missing something important and then remember that its B&B so that isn’t likely. But if it did happen I would hate to miss it.

“That’s not a weird stat. Rickie is a run-scorer,” Yost said.

That may be true, but doesn’t the math make him an unlikely run-scorer?

“It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter,” Yost told reporters. “See, you guys have no concept. He’s a run-scorer. So there’s nothing weird about it. That’s what he does.”

I just got off a flight from Boston and contacted a very reliable club source who told me he knows nothing about any plans to dismiss manager Ned Yost, as posted late last evening by “Badger Blogger,” whatever that is.

Bucks

better take a point guard and not a 7 foot guy who is allergic to the paint. Although it was nice of them to hire the dirtiest coach in college basketball as an assistant.

Good thing he got on base last inning because I doubt Yost would’ve pulled Parra with the pitcher’s spot up first the next inning.
