Game Thread #64: Brewers (33-30) at Astros (32-32)

PrintSince the last time the Brewers and Astros met, the Brewers have started to play like they were supposed to, and the Astros have done the same.
The weak link is Roy Oswalt, tonight's starter for Houston, who has pitched more like Jeff Suppan is supposed to. He hasn't had any truly disastrous outings, but he's held the opposition to fewer than three runs only once in 13 starts. That's not the perennial Cy Young Award contender we've grown accustomed to.
Seth McClung, on the other hand...he's coming off a strong start against the D-Backs, and has had two respectable outings in three tries. I'll take it. It isn't entirely up to him, but the better he pitches, the more likely Jeff Weaver exercises his out clause this weekend and becomes a New York Met. Or something.
Game time is 7:05. Here's the BR Game Preview.
Go Brewers!

With Weeks on the DL, major line-up adjustments tonight
Corey Hart RF
JJ Hardy SS
Ryan Braun LF
Prince Fielder 1B
Russell Branyan 3B
Mike Cameron CF
Bill Hall 2B
Jason Kendall C
Seth McClung P
Just how many strikeouts will the 5,6 & 7 spots have tonight?
I love Corey at the top of the lineup
However the 5,6, & 7 spots scare me too. I’ll give Yost credit on this one, though. I believe this is the best possible lineup under the circumstances.

Corey leading off?
But who will bunt us over in the 5th spot?
"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!"
Branyan, duh!
"My thing is that you guys eat meat all day and you can't hit a ball. That's my thing." - P. Fielder
Bill Hall 2B
How about that. I wonder how regular of an occurrence that’ll be.
He's extremely quick and good.
What, no Counsell?
Then again, McClung’s hitting better than he is…
(Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that Counsell just looks bored out of his mind whenever he’s playing?)
Bill has good numbers against Oswalt
While in general I don’t like like Ned going by those numbers I don’t think it is too bad in this case. Oswalt will give up some homes and that short porch is just so inviting. Plus how much advantage is the platoon split anyway. Defensively though I am not as sold.
by dixieflatline on Jun 10, 2008 6:51 PM CDT up reply actions
Not complaining, just puzzled
I’m just surprised that Ned’s using Counsell as the replacement of last resort lately. He’s started Dillon over him at 2B already. I’m with you on Hall’s defense, though.
I was thinking about Weeks being on the DL
and then I realized that it is all part of “the Plan”. Once he returns there is almost a guarantee of him making a couple rehab starts in Nashville. If I think hard enough I can recall his last trip down there and the spectacle that followed. There is no doubt that this will be the results the 2nd time around as well, at least I can hope for that.
"He's been very, very impressive," Yost said. "I mean really impressive. I mean really, really impressive."
Looks like Yost got into Grandma's make-up again...

McClung is pitching on 6 days rest right?
Same for Parra tomorrow. I kind of wished they would have skipped his start and pushed him back to the twins series. Lefties do poorly at Minute Maid and most of the key bats for the Twins are left handed.
We can't bring up Weaver
unless Son of Clung has a bad start…
[/tinfoilhat]
"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!"
I hope
Zelous Wheeler is called up before Yost’s firing, if only so Ned can call out “Hey, Zelousy.”
(Lady, you’re, like, 40 years old. That’s two kirbirs.)

ive been waiting for COREY in the Lead-Off ALL YEAR!!! YAY!!!
go get em' seth!
Dontrelle Willis getting the Halladay/Volquez treatment
Optioned all the down to A-ball.
He's extremely quick and good.
He was pretty young when the Marlins called him up though
Felix Hernandez might have option(s) left, too.

I think they needed his permission to option him
There’s a service time time limit in there.
He's extremely quick and good.
That's brutal.
$29 mil for the next three years for an A pitcher. That may be enough to crush his confidence. Speaking of which, has Turnbow found the strike zone yet?
Who gets hit in retaliation for that one?

Ugh
FSN and BA totally screwed us there. They decided to show us that Russell the Muscle is 0-5 with 5 Ks right before the last strike.
Wally Bell is the HP ump
This really is a cast of characters tonight. Some sort of excitement seems inevitable.
Fun, useless split
Brewers with a #14 on the roster: 22-12

two words I don't want to see linked together
I’m not able to watch this game. Perhaps it’s good. McClung, rattled, looking like some small woodland creature terrified of everything…please, no.
at least it didn't end in disaster
How’d Tejada get on base? The silly text play-by-play which is the only thing I have access to won’t tell me.
Hopefully he’ll calm down in the 2nd and we’ll score some runs. Runs help.
Payback for Braun

I'm not so sure. McClung's reaction looked like he was honestly frustrated with hitting Tejada.
Not to mention the fact that I doubt they really wanted to put anyone on in front of Berkman.

he does that so effortlessly

Not from the Brewers
Ripken was tied for fourth in games played in 1985 and second in a few other full seasons.

Rainout, I'd assume

Tejada and Pence on greenies
They’d probably do something crazy like crash through a glass door or something.
So, after four starts
Who’s buying McClung as a credible Major League starter?
He's extremely quick and good.
He has my vote
Even after making a throw like that to first he doesn’t let it bother him and he strikes out the next guy.
I am
He’s got his control under…some sort of control, at least; he’ll be better if he learns to calm down during the first inning he pitches.
Right now I can’t really complain, although I’m still stocking up on chocolate to get me through his starts.
can't drink at work
Chocolate makes me feel better, at least…even watching along with a McClung start on Gameday or the like makes me nervous. ^^;

I was back at Fox Cities Stadium. Kimberly won again and will be going for back to back championships in D1 on Thursday. Brad Schreiber hit his second homer of the day, to dead center- had to have been 400 feet. He went 2 for 4 and his average went down.
No, but
Oh
Paul is an umpire: Story that has his name in it. I remembered his name for some reason.
Phil is going to Iowa on a scholarship. Brad will be a senior next year and is putting up some sick stats- .600 average, 9 homers. He’s also throwing in the upper 80’s from the mound.
Yeah, I've heard great things about Brad

If you really want some inside scoops, there are two younger brothers- Mitch was a freshman, a lefty who can throw in the 80’s, and Scott will be in seventh grade and is pretty much a prodigy.

Kimberly is really where it's at
There’s a pretty big rivalry between Kimberly-Kaukauna. Actually, Brad and Phil pitched against each other in a game this year. Phil gave Kimberly won of their 3 losses on the year.
Regardless, yeah, it’s a pretty athletics-intense area.
