Around SBN: The cost of firing vs. the cost of retaining head coaches

Game Thread #32: Brewers (16-15) at Marlins (17-14)

Well, this is a surprise.  If we had looked at the schedule in spring training and guessed which team would come into the series with a better record, we probably would've been wrong.  Let's hope that by the time the Brewers leave Miami, we'll be right again.

It's on the east coast, so game time is 6:10 CT.

The matchup tonight is Jeff Suppan and Scott Olsen.  Olsen more or less dominated us last time out--7.1 IP, no runs.  Then again, he did walk five guys.  Suppan, well, he's gotta be better than he was last time.  Here's the BR Game Preview, with all of that stuff and much, much more.

Project-a-tron isn't offering any numbers tonight, just forecasting the following:

  • Rickie Weeks will strike out, and look bad doing so.
  • The Brewers will leave men on base in multiple innings, further suggesting that they really aren't trying hard enough.
  • A reliever will give up a run.
  • Somehow, against all odds, the Crew will win the game.

Go Brewers!

Win Probabilities...

Simulator: Brewers 49.87%
LV Hilton Sports Book: Brewers 47.62%
AccuScore: Brewers 45.00%

AccuScore has since moved the Brewers win expectancy up to 46.3% and Vegas to 49.5%. For my comparisons, I grab the odds of all three projection systems at the same time. AccuScore and LV have moved their odds closer to my simulator from where their odds opened at.

On a related note...

... to this amusing quote: “The Brewers will leave men on base in multiple innings, further suggesting that they really aren’t trying hard enough”, today at work I overheard two people talking about the Brewers, both of whom loudly complained that the Brewers players act like “they don’t care if they lose or not.” If they did “they’d score more runs” and further, that “Gagne doesn’t give a shit what happens when he plays ‘cause he’ll get $10 million no matter what.”

You may, or may not, be surprised to learn that both of these men were waiting to make court appearances regarding the criminal charges they’re currently facing when they had this conversation.

That said, Go Brewers!

Home/road splits

For what it’s worth, the Brewers will have played 5 more games on the road than at home (8 after this series in Florida). No one in the NL has more road wins.

By comparison, the Cubs have played 2 more home games than road games, and the Cardinals have played 9 more home games than road games.

So that’s a reason for optimism.

No runs on one GD hit

One GD hit?!?

(You can’t say GD on the radio)

It doesn’t matter, no one’s listening.

Rickie

It would have been ok to hit that second pitch… I’m sure everyone’s seen enough of this dude’s pitches.

Atleast it was fast...

2 1/2 Hours.. way better then the marathon 4+ hour losses we’ve been suffering though. It’s quick.. like ripping off a band aid!

to soon?

Guess I figured 2 outs in the 9th was a sure thing.

Tying run at the plate

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

Dillon

Now would be a good time to make the Marlins pay for keeping you in the Minors.

Maybe they can convince him he’s facing the reds.

Now its Billy versus the goofy looking dude

Bases loaded, full count, tying run at the plate...

and FSN can’t bother to give us a camera angle that shows us what’s actually happening.

I used to be in TV, FSN puts together the worst broadcasts I’ve ever seen.

Sigh

They just seemed so out of it.

Yost looks really worn down as well.

I’m hoping this or something soon wakes them up. Maybe send someone down (I’m sure Escobar can hit poorly in front of the pitcher too Hardy) or something.

Last year, when they hit .500 after being up 24-10, didn’t they proceed to go on a tear?

Even if he didn’t have anything to do with it…
