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

With 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!

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.

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.

Well, at least Nashville is beating Salt Lake again
He's extremely quick and good.

Doesn’t Salt Lake only have like 3 losses? Do the know they’re facing Nashville?

By the way, I love that it's the Salt Lake Bees, not the "Salt Lake City" Bees
Way to include the rest of the populous Salt Lake area, guys.

I guess the Sounds
were just waiting for an actual challenge before they were going to start winning something.

They thought they were still in spring training, then finally realized the season had started and that they were pretty far back.

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?

They should Villy back in long relief and maybe [shudder] give McClung a shot at starting

Stetter is just loading the bases so he can Vargas his way out of it

He has done it before… Though the last time he did, it was Turnbow’s runners. I don’t see his ERA stay at 0 after this game though.

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
