Game Thread #66: Brewers (34-31) at Astros (33-33)

PrintFor those of us who like to win series, there are two phrases that go together quite nicely: "rubber game" and "Ben Sheets." I would imagine "Brian Moehler" does not evoke quite the same confidence in an Astros fan, though Moehler has been solid in the rotation this year, including seven shutout innings against the Cards last weekend.
Not-so-fun matchup fact: Sheets has faced Berkman an astonishing 69 times, and the Fat Puma has managed an 1.105 OPS against him. Actually, this whole lineup looks like they're going to have a leisurely afternoon teeing off on Sheets. One outing isn't going to adjust the numbers too far downward, but I trust that Ben will give it a try.
Game time is 1:05 CT, and here's the BR Game Preview.
Go Brewers!

I hate fat pumas.

Maybe Sheets
can get this puma to cough up a couple of nice hairballs!
The Wallbangers won because they played the game like kids! Let's do that again!!!
The Home Run Pump
What is that measuring? It can’t be home runs for the year. It can’t be home run distance.

Plus he has the best Batting Average on the team?
Unless if Dillard got sent down when I was doing something else.

I had a dream that it was 7-7 in the 6th with Sheets still in the game
That seems…unlikely.

Sheets is always good for a
solo shot in the 1st or 2nd inning. I get nervous when he doesn’t give one of those up.

Oh, Hardy's fine
It’s just that his arm goes dead sometimes. No biggie. Happened to Lefty Grove. And then his career was over.

what are the magic words?
From the Astros site: Wally Bell said Cooper was thrown out because of what he said to Campos.
“Let’s just say he said something he shouldn’t have said. That doesn’t mean it’s a curse word. He said the magic words.”

The fact that, despite these 35 or so AB, he's not a very good hitter
At least compared to Kendall, who used to be a decent one.

I don't think it's crazy to prefer Hart
in that spot over Rickie. Hart’s On Base% is better anyways, so either way. I frankly don’t care where the RBI’s come from, and I want my better hitters to have more AB’s than my worse hitters.

what’s with hall playing 2B and not SS? isn’t he “naturally” a SS? Whereas Counsell has been doing the infield position shifting for the last several years of his career?
Good point
I never really thought of that now with JJ out it makes sense for Billy to play Short. Maybe we’re just trying to piss his agent off more
It's his best position, right?
I’m not being sarcastic here at all (Yes, I know I rag on Counsell enough, but his defense has always, always been his best attribute)
Didn’t someone do a study that said that Counsell was the best defensive shortstop of the decade?

I just forget to update it. In any case, the drawing power of “female baseball blogger” is negated by the fact that I’m over 30 and would spend most of my posts on analyzing why the Red Sox middle relief is so awful this year and trying to find the best lineup spot for Craig Counsell to be in if he absolutely must be in a lineup. Also, trying to defend Seth McClung’s honor due to the vast amount of AAAA starters silly, silly people continually advocate in place of him. That’s boring.

Hey, it's back to a save situation

It's over?
The designated hitter rule is like letting someone else take Wilt Chamberlain's free throws.
bonus
somehow we survived Ned using Torres in a non-save situation. He made us sweat it out a bit though
