Game Thread #102: Brewers (58-43) at Cardinals (57-46)

PrintSo...at what point do we get to assume the sweep? Ben Sheets hasn't gotten a win since the 4th of July--remember, if you're rooting against the Brewers, you're rooting against America. That doesn't mean he's pitched poorly. His last outing was cut short, but the Crew pulled out the win, and the one before that was a standard-issue quality start.
On the other side is Todd Wellemeyer. He hasn't been very good lately, but the last (and only) time the Brewers faced him, he went six innings, giving up only two unearned runs.
Game time is 7:15 CT, and here's the BR Game Preview.
Go Brewers!

You don’t assume the sweep until the end of the 9th. Otherwise it is too painful if they don’t

Weeks on the bench today
And Durham leading off… let’s see if Ray can get it done!
I know Weeks is hot, but Ned must have been getting antsy to use his brand new toy.
The designated hitter rule is like letting someone else take Wilt Chamberlain's free throws.
Both were 1/4 lifetime vs Wellemeyer

The following doesn't really fit here, but then again it doesn't really fit anywhere else either.
My wife is a social baseball fan. She likes to go to games and to watch them when we have people over. But she knows nothing about the sport. Think taking a four-year-old to the game. She’s looking for the ice cream guy and people watching. Somebody hits a double and she cheers and then asks what happened.
Anyhoo, I couldn’t have been more proud of her the other night when I told her Bill Hall hit the game winning home run. She said “That’s great!” before adding, “Hall? Did the Cardinals have a lefty pitching?”
Obviously, this stuff is pretty basic to all of us here, but it was pretty exciting to me.
If she starts talking about OPS, however, I’m going to get suspicious.

Rooting against the Brewers
Means you want the terrorists to win. I’m looking in your direction, former Missouri Senator John Ashcroft!
So Al from VEB wanted a wear pattern for Wellemeyer
I sent it to him but he is too busy on vacation to post it apparently. Anyway, looks like Wellemeyer has been pretty inconstant in game with his slider in his last four starts. Some nice sharp ones but some crappy ones too. Something to watch for maybe.

Should add his name to the list of Brewers who made the all star team and struggled the second half… is the list long? I am thinking of Hardy last year and maybe Sheets one of those years he got hurt

96 pitches for Sheets
One more inning? Pinch hit for him if his spot comes up though I guess.

a question mark for me
what is it of?
The designated hitter rule is like letting someone else take Wilt Chamberlain's free throws.
Big in Australia
I never knew he looked like the other Jeffery Lebowski though.
That has made my morning.
I still don't get it, but "tourist-quality" is a great dig
BCB's "very own marginally deserving all-star!"

Yeah and Zambrano threw
and Zambrano threw nearly 130, good thing he didn’t just come off the DL or anything a little while ago

I forgot about the HR streak
How laid is Braun getting tonight?
BCB's "very own marginally deserving all-star!"
or Fielder
have you seen what he does in the dugout after a homer?

Weird about Braunie's home run
He really stood there and watched it go…but it really didn’t clear the fence by much.
"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!"
he was like
“fuck it, if it doesn’t go over it doesn’t matter…hart comes up soon…”

Braun's OBP over the last two games = .900

hope that'll impact his confidence
so he starts improving

He has actually been ok this last week
I still don’t really trust him but do you really trust Riske or Mota more?
by dixieflatline on Jul 24, 2008 10:01 PM CDT up reply actions
shockingly...yes
i like mota’s movement better
of course that doesn’t do any good if the batters know what’s coming.

Yeah..
It was good, live near a park though which became the base of operations for a group that had megaphones and New England accents.

I was all ready
to complain about walking the leadoff hitter.

Haha, wow
