Game Thread #97: Brewers (53-43) at Giants (40-56)

PrintNice feeling, right? We have an ace pitch one night, and then another ace goes the next day. This afternoon's matchup is Ben Sheets and Jonathan Sanchez. Sanchez has come a long way since his 4-inning, 7-run outing against the Brewers the opening week of the season--he's got a sub-4.00 ERA and hasn't allowed more than three runs in a start in more than a month.
Of course, Sheets is pretty good, too.
Game time is 3:15 CT, and here's the BR Game Preview.
Go Brewers!

Batting Practice
FSN is showing the game where Prince hit his 50th home run last season. Two things I completely missed when I watched this game last season:
1) Rock mocking Tony LaRussa for batting the pitcher 8th.
2) The Dodge player of the game? Not Prince Fielder who hit two 2 run home runs and his 50th of the season. It was Jeff Suppan, who had a very good game (8 IP 1 ER)...but, um…yeah…perhaps the record setter should’ve gotten the nod?
Good times…

should have seen this coming
but I didn’t. Game is not on tv.
no doubt
guess I’ll be relying on Bob and Jim today. Uek: please keep the warning track hr calls to a minimum today? :)
This might be little like me complaining that the Google Maps Street View feature doesn't work in Canada...
But isn’t it a little ridiculous that not every game is on TV? I mean, why not? Is this the dark ages? Aren’t Rock and BA already there? What’s the hold up? It’s not like they miss a radio broadcast here and there.

It's about FOX
FOX refuses to let FSN games broadcast during the FOX Saturday baseball game. So it’s stupid of the Giants to schedule a game conflicting with that, too.
And neck size to baby eating ratio.
Ahh...
From the people who brought you NFL Sunday Ticket only available on DirecTV…gotta love the “Give the customer less product” business model.

The history of media actually is the exact opposite
There is so much coverage these days it is incredible… more games available ever in the history of sports… when you get one game that is unavailable, you are so used to watching you forget the days when 30 games were on Tv
The designated hitter rule is like letting someone else take Wilt Chamberlain's free throws.
Gameday still showing delayed
but game has started
The designated hitter rule is like letting someone else take Wilt Chamberlain's free throws.
alright JJ!

Cody Scarpetta 6IP, 5 K, 3 H, 0 ER for BRRROK
Eggs gives up 2 runs in 2 innings. Hopefully both are moved up to Helena soon.
And neck size to baby eating ratio.
Correct box score
Scarpetta only threw 2 IP, 2 H, 1 K.
BCB's "very own marginally deserving all-star!"
That's weird, it said that just a minute ago
apparently they screwed it up.
Anyway, Bueno, was, umm, good. :)
And neck size to baby eating ratio.
and Zarraga DHing
that seems appropriate.
Also, cheese.

This inning is why we need a lead off hitter that gets on
When your lead off can’t get on, 2 hits go for naught

Dick Groch alert!
Huston Street just came into the game for the A’s at Yankee Stadium.
And neck size to baby eating ratio.
And blew the save

Hopefully lowering what the A's can ask for him in a trade!

if by "game"
you mean “the whiteboard above my desk”...
yes, yes I am.
Also, cheese.

Do you have the special markers that smell like fruits?
BCB's "very own marginally deserving all-star!"
no.
but maybe I should consider that. when I used to teach classes, the whiteboard markers would always give me headaches.
Also, cheese.

Nope
But I am listening to Uke and Jim, watching Red Sox/Angels, and keeping tabs on SD-St Louis via Gameday…so…not too bad for a Saturday afternoon.

Sheets!
He’s just raking these days

They just showed Benny's double on Fox
Looked very similar to the one in Houston earlier this year.
BCB's "very own marginally deserving all-star!"
Six K's for Sanchez
My fantasy team rejoices but my heart does not.
BCB's "very own marginally deserving all-star!"
After all, they're family men, fishermen, and boaters
BCB's "very own marginally deserving all-star!"
(not bad, considering how offensive they are)

Amazing Baseball town
When you stop and think of all the other things there are to do in Frisco but they still go to the games.
Even on a night like last night where I saw people wearing scarves to a July baseball game
Hell of a town.
Its all about the Bullpen this season that is the key.
Jeezus.
Where the hell have I been today?

Wait, Omar Vizquel just hit an RBI single?
Off Ben Sheets?
BCB's "very own marginally deserving all-star!"
Cards have the sacks loaded with 1 out.
Could be real rough inning for my Fantasy team in Ben and Wolf.
I do not believe the Japanse have a word for that.
They just say it in French ;)

Ok, it's a manage-off!
Ned, Bruce, on your marks…get set…
...it’s a close game, there are several innings left to play. Do you bring in:
a) your worst reliever
b) someone who might get multiple outs
If you said (a), you win today’s manage-off!
Also, cheese.
a lower throw and a swifter tag
would have had him. the throw was there far before he got to the bag.

I loved the speculation about the conversation
between Yabu, Molina, and the pitching coach- he says that Molina is fluent in Espanol, and Yabu doesn’t speak English, and the pitching coach speaks Italian.
And neck size to baby eating ratio.
Well we have won the 2 games with our aces pitching
Albeit one not pitching that well.
Now lets see if we can beat the Giants ace tomorrow..
For some quick comedy relief
Watch MLB.com’s Gameday highlight of Fielder’s home run. Powell screams “and he sends the sailboats scurrying!” as the camera swivels to show an area of the water virtually void of any boats whatsoever.
No Bonds, no sailboats I guess
truely an impressive shot
the right fielder didn’t even budge…just turned around and watched
i didn’t even see any fans making a leaping attempt..
just powerful as hell.
