Game Thread #85: Brewers (46-38) at D-Backs (42-43)

The starters this afternoon are Manny Parra and Brandon Webb. Webb is probably the better pitcher, but for what it's worth, Parra has been better over the last seven starts. (Or six starts, or five starts, doesn't really matter where you draw the line, as long as you're focusing on the last month to six weeks.)
Game time is 2:40 CT, and here's the BR Game Preview.
If you haven't already, be sure to scroll down and check out battlekow doing...well, he did something, and you should see it.
Go Brewers!

Cubs...
Cubs have to face Lincecum, so hopefully the Giants can make some magic happen. Tim was on the cover of SI this week, so hopefully it’s not a curse like being on the cover of Madden.
Parra better toss well, I’m counting on a good game to keep me entertained while driving up’Nort.

Weeks leading off but otherwise the same lineup as last night.

There are other factors as well, particularly the play of other infielders. Even the people who cook up all the different ZRs say that it might be accurate over a time period of 3 or so seasons. Then you would average those years, not take them in isolation.

Will someone remind me why
Rickey Weeks is still in the leadoff position? one pitch, one out
“Confused” is an understatement.
I bet his OBP is one of the lowest in the MLB. (The Jay will likely put the lie to this assertion.)
His speed doesn’t help much when he is in the dugout.
Let’s remember he was given an express ticket to the MLB.

Brewers with OBP lower than Weeks (.327 coming into today)

Guess Shouse only felt like throwing one pitch

Now for the Saloman we all know and love.
Hopefully.

Maybe in two weeks
Branyan and Weeks will be assessed errors and Mota’s ERA will improve again.

Scoring change
Maybe Mota can get the two infield hits changed to errors.

Already on it
Up a couple comments. :)

Also, cheese.

The Brewers’ brass had a mysterious meeting today.
Maybe they were discussing where to bury the bodies.

I guess torres was bound to blow one sooner or later. Also:
1. shouse now sucks.
2. mota has sucked for a while.

That was terrible
this one will linger for a long time

Frustrating loss
Infield hits suck.
On the bright side, still a .500 road trip and a nice homestand to put the game behind us.

the exact game I was thinking of
Can't pitch Gagne in rain. He’s like the B-2 bomber of baseball.--TheJay

and
that game against Philly the Sunday after they beat Hamels

That one was worse, but that’s not saying much.

The Rangers' 3-run comeback with two outs was pretty tragic, too
He's extremely quick and good.

Perhaps not coincidentally
That involved an infield hit or two as well.

i hate
Guillermo Mota. Can’t believe its taken until July 3 for it to be clear that he has no place on this roster.

Doug, we need a closer.
Forget getting a starter, we need a closer.

I'm going to say that's still Torres' job

Nobody on this team has closer's stuff
Torres and Gag-me included.

On another note
Overlooked is the first major league victory for Leo Rosales.

Torres has been awesome
I think it’s time to stop looking at saves as a statistic. If its 5-0 in the ninth, bring torres in to start the inning. If its 10-0, bring in Torres. He says he pitches better with more work.
Stop looking at saves as a stat and just win the game.

What happens after August
When Torres has already made 90 appearances?

Mark DiFelice!
He's extremely quick and good.

Cant blame it all on the bullpen
Brewers were 1 for 14 with runners in scoring position
by statsllc on Jul 3, 2008 5:42 PM CDT reply actions 1 recs
No kidding
Branyan striking out on three pitches with Hart at third and one out is particularly glaring.
He's extremely quick and good.
by battlekow on Jul 3, 2008 5:45 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
We were winning 5-0 in the bottom of the ninth
It’s the bullpens fault.

Yosted!!
Best Yosting of the year…so far.
Why wasn’t Conor Jackson walked to set up a possible double play and limit the damage to one run? Who knows…the Yoster was conjuring in his usual inscrutable manner.

I almost heaved my foot long char dog
after witnessing the Brewers give away yesterday’s game. I like the DBacks because I live in the Valley of the Sun, but love me some Brewers. Every year the Crew is in Phoenix for the regular season, I’m down for a game or two.
In less than an inning, Ned Yost has changed my mind about his future as the team’s manager. Yost must go. He and his staff proved they can’t get the job done and never will.
