Game Thread #84: Brewers (45-38) at D-backs (42-42)

Matchup is Seth McClung and Yusmeiro Petit.  We're back within 5 of the division lead, but as long as the Cubs are playing the Giants, we'll need to keep winning to stay there.

Game time is 8:40 CT, and here's the BR Game Preview.

Go Brewers!

Can the voting mechanism computer things verify the IP address of one’s computer? Wouldn’t that than make multiple e-mail addresses worthless?

Pat Venditte, the favorite Yankee prospect of BCB (is there such an animal?) inspired a rule change

link

The pitcher must visually indicate to the umpire, batter and runner(s) which way he will begin pitching to the batter. Engaging the rubber with the glove on a particular hand is considered a definitive commitment to which arm he will throw with. The batter will then choose which side of the plate he will bat from.
That’s the opposite of what happened in Venditte’s (in)famous debut.

He's extremely quick and good.

Brett Wallace

The famously big-assed ASU 3B that the Cardinals drafted with the 13th pick this year is making his pro debut tonight for Quad Cities. If he had still been around when the Brewers were on the board, it would have been interesting. You’ll probably see him in the big leagues by 2010. He can really hit.

Is this lineup worse than yesterdays?

The designated hitter rule is like letting someone else take Wilt Chamberlain's free throws.

by Kyguy922 on Jul 2, 2008 7:29 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yesterday's lineup wasn't bad

My only question about yesterday was having Kendall in the same lineup as Rivera, considering all the Things Happening to Catchers this week.

However, Rivera was ace at 1st, Hall had his good D glove on as well, and the actual failure point of the lineup was having Jeff Suppan involved in it.

All-Star voting ending tonight

Doesn’t “This time it counts!!!!” just encourage you to vote for the crappy players in the league that your team isn’t in? That way your league is more likely to win, and you help your team should they make the World Series. Are we supposed to have more honor than that? Because I sure don’t.

What I don't get about the Sox

Pedroia’s good, to be sure (wish we had him, but only if he knocks off his constant repositioning of his batting gloves) but what the heck is up with Daisuke Matsuzaka? Right now, he’s walked four, given up two hits, and managed to only give up one run. That defense behind him must be something else or he’s just been incredibly lucky this year.

not really bad at all

well, except for hitting a couple batters

by ol Pete on Jul 2, 2008 9:14 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

His command is iffy

They keep saying he has a “dead arm”. I guess it’s a good thing that he’s still sitting at 93 and touching 95 with a dead arm. Getting the hit batter/inning ratio below two would be good.

He's extremely quick and good.

by battlekow on Jul 2, 2008 9:14 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

.........

dead? at 95?

in any case, his control’s always been dodgy except for June 2008, so how would one be able to tell?

I don't understand.

The Rock was just talking about how he thought Rivera’s DP ball was foul? What does it matter? Regardless of where the out is made, if you’re thrown or tagged out, you’re out. I mean, players can tag up on a foulout in the out field. Can anyone explain why he’d make such a point of that?

He's not very smart?

He's extremely quick and good.

by battlekow on Jul 2, 2008 9:21 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Perhaps...

He’s only referring to the downside of not catching it? So, let’s say it’s foul and he misses it. No loss. If it’s fair and he misses it, big trouble.

I didn’t hear the comment (DirecTV going in and out here with the weather…)

Well,

I’d share one w/ Trenni if she was interested. James & Jerry can share the other one. Don’t mean to be stingy, but Trenni’s got some perky boobs. Sorry, guys.

Am I giving Yost too much credit...

or was he smart to go after the hitter knowing the Diamondbacks are being waaaaaay overagressive on the bases?

He would be roasted if it didn’t work out.

No thanks...

though it would make up for the brilliant move pitching into that out at the plate :)

ohhhhhh… I suppose so. That was the first thing I thought of when Maddux in the in game interview said something like the guys on the backend have defined their roles.

Rough night for the fantasy team

I’ll happily take the era from Pena, but leaving Pedroia, JD Drew, and Bruce on the bench hurts a tiny bit.

"He's been very, very impressive," Yost said. "I mean really impressive. I mean really, really impressive."

Who is starting then?

Drew and Bruce on the bench?

Seriously

You have too many OFs.

I do, but it's a deep league and thats the only position I could get to produce for awhile

Kendricks at 2nd, Hart Guillen Guerrero and Victorino in OF and Utility spot. I was thinking Kazmir would’ve been a little more effective.

Also Prince with the day off yesterday and now Braun today

So potentially winning with the big bats getting a rest. If the snakes go with a light hitting lineup tomorrow maybe we could steal another.

He was throwing 93-97

Meanwhile, BA and Rock talked blithely on about his “dead arm”.

He's extremely quick and good.
