Around SBN: The Worst Season of Francisco Rodriguez's Career Bar-right-arrows



Game Thread #31b

I really would not like to be swept by the Astros.  Fortunately, Ben Sheets probably feels the same way.  He's matching up with Chris Sampson, which normally wouldn't feel like a fair fight, but this weekend, it seems like Houston has been spotted three home runs per game.

I answered some questions for the SBN Astros blogger; you can read what I have to say here.  And here's the BR Game Preview.  The action starts at 1:05 CT.

Project-a-tron gives the Brewers a 57.43% shot at winning today's contest.  That's about the same margin by which it favored the Astros in the opener, and we all know how that turned out.

Go Brewers!

A least there isn't a ton of power in this part of the lineup

But in this park the tying run being up is just not good.

Valverde’s due for a Charlie Brown line drive up the middle. Prancing around the mound like that pisses me off.

Astros are out of position players now right?

And with the pitcher in Lee’s spot if it gets around to that part of teh order again we can potentially walk Berkman.

Then

The Pitcher will hit a home run.

Moehler

I don’t know if they’d want to use him. He threw a lot of pitches in a simulated game yesterday and is being held to start in Wandy Rodriguez’s spot if Wandy can’t go.
