Houston Astros at Milwaukee Brewers, Jul 26, 2008 6:05 PM CDT
Opportunity knocks again--the Marlins beat the Cubs in 12 innings this afternoon, after Carlos Marmol gave up a run in his sixth inning of work when Hermida and Cantu came up with back to back doubles off of Chad Gaudin.
The matchup tonight is Brandon Backe and Dave Bush. Bush hasn't pitched since the Truman administration, while Backe hasn't pitched well since...okay, he threw 7 shutout innings 13 days ago, but that was against the Nationals. Amazingly, this is the fourth time this season we're facing Backe--we're 2-1 against him so far in '08.
Game time is 6:05 CT, and here's the BR Game Preview.
Go Brewers!

Fun fact
Yesterday was the first time all season the Cubs lost at home while giving up three or fewer runs. They obviously couldn’t wait to double that number.

Classy organization/fans
the Chicago ninth, Mark DeRosa slid head-first to beat a throw from shortstop Hanley Ramirez, and was called out at first by umpire Rob Drake. First-base coach Matt Sinatro slammed his helmet to the ground and argued the call, and was immediately ejected.Cubs manager Lou Piniella then came out and also was tossed by Drake. It was Piniella’s second ejection this season; he also was tossed June 29, and also by Drake. Fans in the bleachers threw garbage onto the field, briefly delaying the game. Hitting coach Gerald Perry took over the first-base coaching duties, and bench coach Alan Trammell subbed for Piniella.
(bold by me)
I mean that screams class right? Untucking shirts and admiring home runs is just the lowest of the barrel.

And the frosting on the cake is that after showing a variety of replays, the ump had the call right.

speaking of last nights game
I wondered about Riske rather than Villy. In the post-game I’m pretty sure it was McCalvy who asked something along the lines of “you brought in Riske to get a grounder?” Ned’s answer was something like “yeah, a grounder, a pop-up, or a strike out. Riske is a veteran guy – blah – blah.”
by ol Pete on Jul 26, 2008 4:41 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
An interesting sidebar to Parra’s outing. There were no putouts by a Brewer outfielder until Riske entered the game.

I think this is the less defensible move...
I definately would’ve brought Villy in then rather than Riske. Or gasp even Gagne to try to get the strikeouts. But we carping because it didn’t work out.
I think in the other situation, who can you really trust off the bench? It seems like Branyan and Kapler are falling back to earth, and Hammy looked awful at the plate in his start last night. I think Yost just plain trusted Kendall more at that point. I still think that he should’ve rolled the dice with Branyan for the home run ball, but I don’t think it’s worth roasting the guy over.

Pitchers spot was due up to hit.
Maybe they hoped for the best with Riske. Leaving Villy to pitch the 8th and 9th. I doubt torres was up for another outing if the Brewers were to have taken the lead.

Durham leading off and playing second, Counsell at short. Say what you will about Durham, it’s odd to see a number like .377 in the OBP column for a Brewers leadoff hitter.
Did you know that Brandon Backe has the fifth-highest OPS this season among the eighteen hitters in the starting lineups?

TempleUSox always has helpful things to offer on MiLB stuff too. Lots of times though, threads turn into ridiculous debates about crap I can’t imagine anyone is still interested in talking about, there’s a lot of circle-jerking, and the Brewers fans there kind of suck.

I'm thinking Weeks out
Hardy (if he’s cool with it) to 2B by AS Break 09. (Melvin’s predilection for off-season trades noted).
Is that the consensus here?

I'm not sure Hardy is a fit at 2nd
He has a strong arm and less than stellar range. That’s the kind of guy who fits at third, not second- I’m not sure he’d do well there.

His trade value probably should be higher. I think we should trade both and sign Mark Ellis. If we can get good starters (Cain/Greinke/etc) for Hardy and Weeks, we can spend big on Ellis.

If Branyan came up
Why would the Astros give him anything to hit? Let him flail away at pitches out of the zone (as is his wont) because even if he’s walked, Gabe Kapler’s not much of a home run threat and it’d take a well hit ball to score Branyan from first.
