PrintWinning streaks are fun! Well, at least the parts of the winning streaks that don't involve coughing up a one-run lead in the ninth thanks to little-league quality defense. The rest is good, though!
Tonight's matchup is Jeff Suppan vs. Kyle Lohse, otherwise known as "Object lesson #672 on why Dave Duncan saves the Cardinals millions." St. Louis passed on signing Suppan, and in his place, they brought in guys like Lohse. I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop, but Lohse is currently sporting a 3.35 ERA, including 2.35 in his last seven starts. That span even includes the Tigers, Red Sox, and Phillies.
Game time is 7:15 CT, and here's the BR Game Preview.
Go Brewers!

Lohse is almost the exception in St. Louis, isn't he?

pitch f/x
hey, dixie, i just used your pitch f/x web tool, and your ‘07, and ‘08 player cards to see that kyle lohse’s slider is much improved over last year. it’s an excellent out pitch versus right handed hitters. awesome resource, thanks again.
hey, brewers, i just used dixie’s pitch f/x stuff to scout kyle lohse. nasty slider, it’s coming low and away with two strikes, don’t be afraid to take it, cause nobody is hitting it hard. best to get the 91 mph fastball before kyle gets you to two strikes. lefties, watch out for the changeup, you’ll get that instead of the slider.
Bring Back The Old Logo!
Thanks, that is what it is there for
I wonder if the Brewers might be using the tool for advanced scouting. Nah…
I just got back from watch Tim Beckham hack mightily at some change up all night. He also had a very lazy play in the field. I am starting to wonder abot him.

Not that Beckham is supposed to be as good as him, but that sounds like what people said about Justin Upton in his first season
Of course, even if Upton was a good comp for Beckham, that’s a classic logic error, and I hate when people do that in arguments. “Well, Tom Glavine was terrible when he first came up, much worse than Brian Bannister was, so I don’t see why Bannister can’t become a HOFer.” Okay, that’s a slight exaggeration, but only a slight one.

Tom Glavine is my second-favorite bad comp
Jamie Moyer is #1.
Also, cheese.

Speaking of Glavine
The starter for the P-Rays today was Matthew Moore big lefty who was consistently throwing 91-93 but litterally every off speed pitch was up in the zone. He had absolutely no location with either his slider or change up. He was getting hit all over and the four P-Ray errors in four innings weren’t helping much either.
by dixieflatline on Jul 22, 2008 8:31 PM CDT up reply actions
Haha, Bannister isn't even left-handed
Worse comp than I even intended.
BCB's "very own marginally deserving all-star!"
Yeah I hear you
The TB rookie team is really a mess. Throwing to wrong bases. Stupid baserunning errors. The who team is super toolsy with almost no skills. The fact that Beckham has started to not get in front of grounders and swinging at every pitch he saw today (all 4 in a rain shortened game) can’t be a good sign.

Wasn't even in the lineup today
He has looked terrible at the plate but good in the field (relative to the other players).

Weird, he actually got promoted
I kind of just assumed they drafted him just to keep him with Tim for awhile, though I guess a 17th round pick is a little high to spend on a nepotista (nepotisto?)

Wow Jeremy wasn't even hitting well and got promoted

I suspect him getting the start is partially because Branyan hasn’t been hitting well for a few weeks.

I asked myself this all day Sunday
Yost cleared it up with this quote “He’s (Rickie) working his way up. He’s getting better in all phases of his game. For me, he has never underachieved because he never achieved up here. How can you say he has underachieved?”
I love our manager, Its all crystal clear now why Rickie is going to get more starts than Durham…
Arizona just snagged Rauch
Hopefuly he’ll be able to make an impact before the series with the Cubs is over.

Lorenzo Cain continues to flash impressive gap power at Huntsville. He’s doubled tonight, giving him 8 “troubles” in just 43 at-bats since being promoted. Cole Gillespie’s also hit his 13th homer.
At West Virginia, Caleb Gindl is 3-3 with a double and is again playing CF.

It is true for almost every umpire though. Tim McClellan(sp?) is very even to LHB and RHB but he is in the minority. If you have any info on the handedness of umpires let me know because that correlates well to eye dominance too.

So random thing
Fukudome is really struggling right now. Average under .280, OPS under .800. He still is taking walks but he really needs to hit for more power or he could be in a bit of trouble. Maybe the book on him is out.
I was checking him out today on a couple of plots
His DL stint didn’t change anything and his curve is still totally being tipped compared to league average. His curveball hump is one of the largest in the game and he is getting few swings and misses with it.

Lol at a headline on MLB
“A’s struggles not related to trade talks”
Is it related to the actual trades because I think they clearly took a step back, at least this year, with the trades.
i like

Kendall, Weeks, and Hardy combine to tie the game

Still 1-0 Snakes bottom of the 3rd
It has been at least 12 innings since the Cubs have scored. Their offense has cooled off about as much as it was on fire in the first part of the year.

I wish there was an unedited feed

Stetter... oh wait
Gagne’s change should be effective against lefties. But Shouse would be a fine choice as well.

Extra Innings
can’t wait until the free preview is over. These commercials are killing me slowly. I don’t care about Boise!
what free preview?
mlb told me I only had the allstar week free.

Completely agree
I have to change the channel now during commercials. Boston. and BOISE!

torres is a workhorse
"Maybe the universe was trying to tell us something with the Chicago Fire." -Former Cubs Fan Steve
Who was it talking about Torres' future workload being unpredictable and that he might be needed a bunch of games in a row despite not working much recently?
I can’t remember…
BCB's "very own marginally deserving all-star!"
i don't either
who was it? lol

BTW
Minor League Splits player pages are better. New stats display, plus some neat features especially for guys who have played at multiple levels…
more to come soon, I think.
Also, cheese.
And it works in IE now
unlike last night.
Also, cheese.

a lot.
I never actually figured out what was making it fail in IE, I ended up writing a couple of functions to replace the ones that were causing problems.

Will Jason Larue pinch hit for Cesar Izturis again?
