Game Thread #122: Brewers (70-51) at Padres (46-74)

Mordecai_brown_tiny by Jeff Sackmann on in Game Threads Comment 202 comments

Milwaukee Brewers @ San Diego Padres


Here's a fun indicator of the relative strength of the NL Central and West divisions: the Dodgers and D-Backs are tied in first place at 61-59.  You know who else has that record?  The Astros, who are 12 games back, and 8.5 games behind us.

That said, of course, the universe will reward me for pointing out the weakness of the division by having the Padres crush the Brewers.  (If I admit that, do I cancel it out?)  The pitching matchup is certainly one worth watching: Ben Sheets takes on Jake Peavy.

Game time is 2:35 CT, and here's the BR Game Preview.  Against all common sense, Craig Counsell has a .955 career OPS (in 39 PAs) against Peavy.

Go Brewers!

whatever else you think about Yost

I’ll say this much: If there’s a reason to play Counsell, he’s not going to miss it.

Also, cheese.

That implies Yost uses logic on his lineup decision.

If they do this ad for Weeks instead of James Jerry

Will people immediately know it’s a giveaway, or will they confuse it with an attempt to turn a double play and save a Sabathia shutout?

I don’t think there has been a lineup this year that nobody complained about. Either to many strikeouts or no power.

Sure, Nix's first start should be in the #3 hole

while facing Jake Peavy. I don’t see a problem……

I don't mind the lineup

with Peavy pitching. Maybe I am just drugged up by the winning streak, but I like Durham and Counsell at the top not swinging at bad pitches. Nix, I can’t really comment on.

Wow. That is just awful.

Against Peavy, no less. I guess Ned feels 8 in a row is enough. I’d rather see Rivera and Kapler at 2-3 then this travesty.

Brewers fan lost in South Carolina.

by SCBrewer on Aug 14, 2008 2:13 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I guess I'll take the other side (since no one else will)

Kapler has played the last 5 games (most in a row all year)- Nix gives the option of a left handed bat against a real tough RHP and lets Kapler get a day off after a night game before a tough series in Los Angeles.

Durham should be an obvious against a tough RHP.

There is no way that Yost was not playing Counsell today – basically leaving a choice of Hardy or Hall as the other guy. Hardy has been struggling bad the last 2 weeks and while that still is probably better than a Hall vs. Peavy matchup — I don’t think its a huge difference the way Hardy has been lately.

Kendall playing everyday is nothing new.

I guess I don’t think the lineup is that big of a deal.

by Supertramp on Aug 14, 2008 2:32 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   1 recs

Well, at least the Brewers have fared decently against

opposing aces, the likes of Johan Santana, Brandon Webb, Tim Lincecum, etc. The lesser name off speed pitchers are the ones who give us trouble. So maybe Peavy isn’t going to be so bad after all?

Giles is batting 12-23 against Sheets. The only other Padre to have faced him is Greg Maddux. Weird.

Don't want to rush to judgment or anything, but ...

… Yost should have written down that lineup, looked it over and then Nix-ed it.

A little rough. Hopefully I’m wrong.

Nix is probably in the 3 spot so all the other backups regulars can stay in their usual spots.

At least we have our best hitting pitcher out there.

I’m ok with loading up on the lefties against a guy like Peavy. Hopefully Sheets won’t need more than a couple of runs to work with.

Righties are hitting .186/.254/.312
Lefties are hitting .274/.335/.401

I thought it was a ball. Certainly too close for a 3-2 pitch to the opposing pitcher.

the baserunner should have gotten up and touched the bag, to make sure the ump sees it.

Which he might have not seen in the tangle of bodies and baseballs,

or because the ump just hadn’t made the call right away. Whoa, I think I’m getting lost in my hypothetical.

I guess, I can see a situation where, in a play similar to this one, the umpire hasn’t made an out call to, I dunno, make sure the ball was caught before being dropped, or to run around the heap of bodies for a different angle at whether the plate was touched. In that moment, it might be unwise to touch the plate a second time, to acknowledge that, well, maybe you didn’t touch home plate originally.

After the ball skitters away, OK, go ahead. I guess, I wouldn’t give the ump a reason to think I was out.
