Game Thread #93: Reds (44-49) at Brewers (51-41)

PrintThe only Brewers pitcher on more of a hot streak than Dave Bush, especially at home, is Manny Parra. Parra is holding opponents to a .646 OPS at Miller Park--basically, he turns the opposition lineup into nine Jason Kendalls on a bad day, only without the grit. Even more impressive, Parra has a 2.08 ERA in his last seven starts, including three scoreless outings in his last four.
Josh Fogg goes for the Reds, and the same positive things cannot be said about him.
And, oh yeah, don't know if you noticed, but the Brewers are currently leading in the NL Wild Card, with the second best record in the National League.
Game time is 7:05 CT, and here's the BR Game Preview.
Go Brewers!

Jeff, haven't you learned your lesson yet?
You shouldn’t talk about our pitchers’ awesomeness. You have to simply post that you promise we will not suck tonight.
Talking about awesomeness...
worked pretty well last night…
Also, cheese.

i see
we learned nothing from the sheets/rusch fiasco
"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!"
the normal rules don't apply
to Glendon Rusch.
Also, cheese.

yesterday
was pretty noncommittal “But still, I shall not comment on the likely outcome of this game.” And there you said that Bush wasn’t as good as Parra. so you did not talk about awesomeness:P
commenting on the suckiness of the opposition = cool.
commenting on our own awesomeness = not cool;)
Just about every time it is stated that Sheets is a guaranteed win, we lose;) I just don’t want that to extend to the other pitchers.

Hopefully Parra
Can continue the streak tonight. I could use some good news after listening to this whole Favre saga today. Damn that man, it’s like becoming a widow, grieving, coming to terms, remarrying, and then your spouse comes back from the dead…what do you do???
"He's been very, very impressive," Yost said. "I mean really impressive. I mean really, really impressive."
Well, this undead spouse is asking for a divorce so (s)he can remarry
I would think the undead are fairly scant on legal privileges.
Zombies: the last population group it’s still okay to make fun of.
He's extremely quick and good.
You'd think so
though at your own risk.
Although the benevolent ones are cool.
"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!"

But I’m eagerly awaiting the Sunday lineup. I bet every bench player gets a start to give the regulars an extra day’s rest.

2nd inning over
Edwin E. with a lead off single. Add in a couple Ks and a Jay Bruce bullet.
Seems like a pitcher’s strike zone tonight.
what's up Brew Crew?
You guys are going to enjoy C.C.
He is fun to watch and he loves to hit..

that would be the Clevelanders.
What is the Brewer’s position on negotiating during the season? Jockety prefers not to do it, which is, IMO, a leading factor as to why we will probably lose Dunn after this season

I recall him skipping off the mound during the NLCS last year (but I could be remembering wrong.)
He wasn’t as smiley earlier in the year—but then again, he was awful earlier in the year.
I'd be smiling too
If I got a strikeout with a pitch like that one.

As someone who had been away from baseball for a long time, in retrospect I had wondered why the Brewers had traded for Craig Counsell in December of ‘03.
Now I know.
That swing was pure grit
Kendall must be teaching lessons.

Davey Nelson says that type of ball could’ve hit Cameron in the face and the first thing I think is that probably would’ve saved a run…
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
his problem
allowing the Reds to make contact with the ball.
it gets my vote though, depending on how he performs here on out. if he shuts them out for the rest of the game, he deserves the win. If he only gives up 1 more run, I still think he doesn’t deserve the BS.

of watching prince suck on defense. 1b defense is one of the most underrated assets in my opinion. i’m not real familiar with defensive metrics, but i’d imagine that derrek lee’s glove is worth a lot of runs

Thanks Torres.
"My thing is that you guys eat meat all day and you can't hit a ball. That's my thing." - P. Fielder
That's why we pay Cameron the big bucks!
To catch two out of three moderately difficult balls!
He's extremely quick and good.
yeah he glides
he just forgets to catch the ball sometimes
His error really was a hard play
He was running so fast just to get close to it that he overran the ball and missed it. His nonerror with Mota pitching the other night was much worse in my opinion.
"My thing is that you guys eat meat all day and you can't hit a ball. That's my thing." - P. Fielder
Nope, can't think of any.
