Game Thread #98: Brewers (54-43) at Giants (40-57)

Mordecai_brown_tiny by Jeff Sackmann on in Game Threads Comment 388 comments

For the first time in the series, the pitching matchup appears to favor the other guys--Manny Parra goes against Tim Lincecum.  Lincecum missed the All-Star Game due to flu-like symptoms, but it sounds like he's ok.

You've probably noticed, but Parra has been impressive of late.  Lincecum may have a 2.57 season ERA and a 3.33 mark in his last 7 starts, but Parra's at 2.68 in those same last 7.  It's asking a lot to expect Parra to keep pitching like this, but even his regression-happy Marcel projection puts him under 4.00 for the rest of the season.

Game time is 3:05 CT, and here's the BR Game Preview.

Go Brewers!

We should try to jump out early, he should be rusty after not pitching in what – 8 or 9 days? Of course you could say the same thing about our guy.

Extra Innings

today’s game is not on the Extra Innings schedule so it will be a Uecker day for me. Too bad, I was looking forward to watching Lincecum pitch after that SI article about his delivery.

Cubs up 3-0 on the Astros in the 6th

Fontenot with his 8th (?!) home run.

Cards and Padres tied 1-1 in the 4th.

Meanwhile, just to make you hate the Cubs even more, Jeff Samardzija is turning in his fourth straight good performance at AAA. He might finally be figuring out how to use his great stuff, which is bad news for us.

Scott Baker had a perfect game going in the 6th

Then Taylor Teagarden (what is that, like the fourth young catcher the Rangers have on their 40-man?) homered-his first Major League hit-and Baker not only lost the perfect game/no-hitter/shutout, but also the lead.

Can someone explain what the point of the Durham trade is

Because unless they think he is going to start instead of Weeks then it seems that we have just replaced Joe Dillon on the bench.
Surely we are not going to keep Durham at the end of the year so why have we given up 2 marginal prospects for somebody who might only get a few AB’s a week and get paid millions for doing so.
Obviously if Weeks gets hurt (always a chance going by his history) then we have a better back up plan but you cant make trades just for that sort of eventuality can you?

by Saltire on Jul 20, 2008 4:00 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I can't explain it

6 years of a durable lefty 4th starter seems many orders of magnitude more valuable than a few hundred (maybe) at-bats from Ray Durham.

Pretty cool.

i saw a ball floating last night

thought about diving in after it

it was near the pedestrian bridge.

I figured it was a BP ball or something that SF puts up to MAKE you make an idiot of yourself.

On the bright side

Despite the Cards’ sweep, they haven’t really looked all that great at home against the team with the worst record in the majors. Every win was a come-from-behind, and they won’t get nearly as many chances against us as they did against the Pads. And, both CC and Ben (sounds like a 1970’s era buddy cop movie) will be pitching.

I don't know if I'd go that far

but clearly Bochy should not have let Lincecum pitch this inning

That was all set-up by the Run Scorer Rickie!

Gotta have Ned like faith that every now and then he’ll get on base by taking one in the noggin

Wow

I love this team… I know we have some weaknesses, but watching this team is a pleasure! (sometimes frustrating)

Great AB there

Um...

Did you see that bat flip on the replay? Lost a lot of grit on that…

Delay

I am listening to the radio feed on mlb.com and have Baseball Tonight on mute. They showed the HR about 30 seconds before the radio announced it.

wow, that ball was the same pitch he rung Prince up on…

I understand that it's a big series...

but why does BoSox-Angels of Anaheim get two nationally televised games in the same weekend? Wouldn’t fans like it more if they got to see some other teams? Is there no other big series going on this weekend?

by ZTK Always on Vacation on Jul 20, 2008 5:08 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Well, I should check these things out before opening my mouth…but there really aren’t any good series happening this weekend…

by ZTK Always on Vacation on Jul 20, 2008 5:09 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Except maybe the battle for the suck division LA-Arizona game…

by ZTK Always on Vacation on Jul 20, 2008 5:10 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

But since its all planned out, they should have had something different on rather than all the Sawx games they showed so far.

by ol Pete on Jul 20, 2008 5:11 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

True

I know you gotta go for ratings, but doesn’t this come at the expense of some other quality teams?

by ZTK Always on Vacation on Jul 20, 2008 5:13 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

And how exactly..

do the Mets get so many games? They didn’t even make the postseason last year (and they won’t this year either)

by ZTK Always on Vacation on Jul 20, 2008 5:14 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

They are in the biggest TV market

And had a team that should have been in the playoffs last year and are one of the hottest in the league right now…

Yeah

But they were still on ESPN all the time when they stunk earlier this year…

or has the Strikezone shrunk here?

I know pink bats are against the rules because they blab forever on Mother’s Day how there is a special suspension of the rule on that day
