Game Thread #30: Brewers (16-13) at Astros (14-16)

PrintWith the short left-field porch at Minute Maid, tonight was supposed to be the night when the righties teed off on the Brewers (left-handed) starting pitcher. We got that out of the way yesterday, so I think Parra is set up for a great outing. Brandon Backe will try to contain the Brewers offense, but we're just too gritty.
Game time is 6:05 CT. Here's the BR Game Preview. Also, check out this hilarious post at the SBN Twins site.
Project-a-tron has tonight as an absolute dead heat: 49.95% chance of the Brewers winning. Mr. Tron, however, is not aware of grit, dwarf or otherwise.
Go Brewers!

He's extremely quick and good.
2 Es?

is anyone else still surprised
to see a black guy batting second?
I always glance at the screen expecting to see kapler or gross or hardy … and mike cameron doesn’t look like them.
Also, cheese.
BTW I mentioned yesterday that I kind of liked the Astros announcers
And they did a really job job talking about Weeks during that whole AB.
Off the ledge
after avoiding the Gallardo news hoping it was a bad dream I am finally rationale again. It looks like I missed some troll filled fun yesterday.
Good time for Prince's fifth homer

listened to WGN this morning
some guy called in from St. Louis and was almost crying because the media there was saying bad things about Cub fans.
Wow, I don't what's less newsworthy
The fact that most people don’t like the majority of Cubs fans, or
The fact that a Cubs fan was whining about it.
Something about Parra starting must trigger him to GIDP
That was Parra’s first start of the year.

He doesn't even look it up
He knows it from memory. He should start a blog.
"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!"
Yup
Also, Rickie Weeks was sent down to make room for Joe Dillon. If you have a fantasy baseball team, you should drop him.
"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!"
Two runs last night in the first
One tonight. My guess is it is going to take a lot more than one to win tonight though.
I was justing looking at his umpire card
Very strange strike zone. Nothing on the inside corner or high but tons of room on the outside corner.

Watching on WMLW
When they show the traditional in-game shot, behind the pitcher, does the Astros pitcher look a little blurry?
On a related note, I’m already looking to be disappointed when FSN renews the contract in 2012.

Looked like he clearly trapped it, but of course Bill and Brian wouldn’t know that.. Schroeder would lick the sweat off the umps nads. He is the biggest kiss ass ever when it comes to announcing that he gets fined for any comments he makes against the Blue Blinded Boners.

All this talk of former "hot" pitching prospects for the Crew

Speaking of mediocre ex-Brewer pitchers, I didn’t even realize Gary Glover had a major league job this season until he popped in the Mug’s injury news.

It seems like the same stuff every time though.
Just like Villy. Once they hit the 3rd time through the order in the 5th or 6th, they can’t get anyone out. If those two guys don’t figure out how to get outs the 3rd time through the order at some point, it’s going to be a long, frustrating year.

maybe get creative
have Sheets and Suppan on a 5-day rotation, and the paired starters on a 3-day one.
Sheets, starters #3&4, Suppan, starters #5&6, starters #3&4, Sheets, etc….
there used to be...
I’m not sure there has been the last year or so…
It’s been a while since he pulled off one of those reclamation jobs he got credit for, and the younger pitchers don’t appear to have developed over the last year.

Villy’s meltdown occurred before he hit the 80 pitch count yesterday. Same for Parra today. What gives? Omagod! The overworked bullpen is screwed!
So do we have 5 starters in Sheets, Suppan, Bush, Parra, and Villy...
Or 2 starters and 3 long relievers? (Assuming that Suppan’s melt-down last week was an aberration).

Actually, Haren came over in the Eveland trade :)
Whenever prince is at first, he should charge the mound and yell "MEAT!"

So much for him getting saddled with a blown save.

Maybe the boys can pull it off… hopefully…

Kendall then top of the order next
I can’t believe I am saying this but too bad Bush is out of the game.

Bush
So, since Bush only pitched for a little bit of an inning, does that mean they’ll skip his spot in the rotation… Or is he officially in the pen?
He's the round mound of profound
"3TO" Branyan
Line tonight in Nashville
3 H, 1 HR, 2 R, 2 RBI, 1 BB
He's the round mound of profound
Line tonight for Gwynn
1 pinch-hitting appearance with the bases loaded
1 pitch
1 weak groundout
Whenever prince is at first, he should charge the mound and yell "MEAT!"
i'd like to see branyan stay in the game in center sometime.

tejada made hardy drop the ball
hardy was wondering how old he was the whole time, and it puzzled him enough to drop the ball

The defense is certainly in top form tonight
and you can’t even call Counsell a “defensive replacement” anymore because he can’t field either
new thread
you don’t have to go there, but you can’t stay here.
(actually, you can, but it would be silly.)
Also, cheese.
