Game Thread #72: Blue Jays (35-38) at Brewers (38-33)

Last night was the best against the best...now it's the worst against the worst. "Worst" comes in different flavors though. A.J. Burnett has been ok this year, striking out a batter an inning to go with his 4.90 ERA. Dave Bush has been considerably less ok.
The Brewers will go for the sweep this afternoon with a healthy David Riske on board. Game time is 1:05 CT, and here's the BR Game Preview.
Go Brewers!

Because it looks enough like him to be believable.
Just kidding, but he does look like him.

He only gave up 3 ER's in his last outing...
...I agree that he will do well today, but I still hope Ned Yost isn’t afraid to take him out if he gets into trouble. The bullpen is well-rested, if they warm up a little earlyer than normal, it shouldn’t be a problem.

A theory about the Overworked Bullpen™
Maybe they all have side jobs with the team or something, and the reporters/broadcasters know that. They might come early and weed Miller Park, restock the concession stands, and watch to make sure the IRS agents can’t get near Prince.

He originally accepted the assignment
because he believed a trade was in the works. For whatever reason, none of the rumored trades went through. The fact that he changed his mind about the assignment and then immediately signed with the Brewers makes me think that it’s the only offer he got and he was going to take the major league sure thing.

from the article
When Wawrzasek was in for a pre-draft work out, Brewers scouting director Jack Zduriencik showed his name tag to the high schooler and said “You and me.”
also:
Tony LaCava, the Jays assistant GM, and Gord Ash, form Jays GM and assistant GM with the Milwaukee Brewers have been mentioned as possible candidates to replace Bill Bavasi, who was fired this week by the Seattle Mariners.
I had heard LaCava, but not Ash.

I think I would rather give up Ash then Jack Z.
He has interviewed around and I would like him doing our draft for the next 5 years thank you very much.
by dixieflatline on Jun 19, 2008 1:32 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
no question
I don’t doubt that Ash is a good guy to have around, and that he and Doug have a good relationship, but it seems that every team has a designated ex-GM in charge of contracts and that kind of stuff, and I’m not at all sure one is much better than the other.
(as long as we don’t replace him with Bavasi, anyway.)
Also, cheese.

Three-year extension for Counsell!
(Just getting ahead of the Bavasi hiring…)
by Zeyes on Jun 19, 2008 1:37 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah you said it
It sure seems like Ash helps but is much more replaceable. Jack Z. has a proven track record of drafting well in the early part of the draft at least. Teams like Seattle are probably going to have some nice high draft picks so you would think that would be a natural fit. It will be interesting to see if Jack can keep up the success in the later parts of the first round and the sandwich picks. I have confidence in him but less track record there.
by dixieflatline on Jun 19, 2008 1:37 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
would Jack Z.
make a good assistant GM? could he still have enough time for the draft thing and have an assistant do most of the GM-related duties?
by PagsBrewCrew on Jun 19, 2008 1:41 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
interesting question...
Likewise, how much draft-related time would he really still have as the Mariners’ GM? There’s got to be a boatload of other high-priority stuff to fix in that organization…
by Zeyes on Jun 19, 2008 1:44 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
from what I can gather
GMs do almost nothing but draft stuff for a week or two leading up to the event, and are thinking about it for weeks before that. But of course, they aren’t nearly as involved with the minutia, esp in lower rounds, as the scouting team is.
I don’t think the state of the org and all that needs fixing would have a whole lot to do with that—in an org in shambles, everybody would focus more on drafting/player development, compared to, say, the yankees or cubs, where things are pretty much set, but there’s always big league stuff to deal with.
Also, cheese.
by Jeff Sackmann on Jun 19, 2008 1:48 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
If I was Jack Z
I would stick with what I do best. He’s revered as a scouting director, so why not just ask to get paid as a GM and keep doing what you do well? He may not have any aspirations to be in the limelight and have to deal with reporters and all the other nonsense GMs have to handle.

by Et tu Brewte on Jun 19, 2008 1:43 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
FWIW
An agent that reps many of the Brewers’ minor leaguers has said that Weeks was never going to sign. He said that the Weeks family threw out an impossibly high number and the Brewers “shockingly” matched it. Then Jemile asked for more.
If that’s true, I don’t know where all the “he’s about to sign” stuff that was floated around came from.

I wouldn’t worry though. Neither he nor Lawrie made any noise whatsoever about not signing before the draft (as opposed to Alex Meyer, Tim Melville, Sonny Gray, etc), so there’s no realistic chance they won’t sign; the Brewers will put up the necessary cash.

The World Junior Championships start in late July and end 8/3
I have half a thought that he won’t sign until those are over. He’ll be playing with wood bats still, and obviously still playing ball, so I don’t think the team would get too upset. That is purely speculation, though. The signing deadline is 8/15, BTW.
He's extremely quick and good.

Wouldn’t it only help him to get some instruction from our guys on catching? Maybe it isn’t a big deal but it just seems like everything is pretty much set money wise, why wait?

I don't know
Maybe Lawrie wants to do it that way, though he also wants to play for the Olympic team (of which he isn’t assured a spot on, so it might be a moot issue). Like I said, pure speculation on my part.

Something else that just occurred to me
I don’t know if he’s playing catcher for the Juniors team. If so, maybe the Brewers will just let him finish up playing third or whatever before instructing him on the tools of ignorance.

Well, nobody's perfect.
Especially not Dave Bush. The fact that he’s gone 5 innings at less than 90 pitches is more than I’d ever have hoped out of the guy.

He's extremely quick and good.

Time to start printing up the Trade Dave Bush t-shirts

Who is this guy pitching?
I get back from the gym, log on to check the score, and see that there’s this “Bush” guy with line of 5IP, 0R, 0H. Can we get some more of him?

I wonder how long Ned will let Bush go today?
Only 73 pitches so maybe a complete game? Can we start thinking about going to 11 pitchers yet?
