Game Thread #132: Brewers (76-55) at Cardinals (73-59)

Whether it was Ryan Braun's strut after his game-winning home run in the series finale or the Brewers' celebratory untucking of their jerseys after each win, that series added heat to a percolating rivalry.I suddenly feel a kinship with Derek Jeter--it's nice to be good enough that people feel they have to justify their dislike and so drum up a bunch of resentment about small things that would otherwise go unnoticed. Click here and revel in it."We're not fans of those guys," one Cardinal said.
Don't forget to check out the BR Game Preview. The Brewers' lineup is their standard one against righties, except for Ray Durham replacing Rickie Weeks at the top of the order. Game time is 7:15 Central.

I wonder how big of disruption it would cause ...
… if Cameron were moved to the five-hole. On Counsell days, I get such a sinking feeling when Cam reaches base, only to have two KUG All-Stars and then a pitcher there to back him up.
I know Corey has acquired an aura of clutchiness around him, but Cam would probably generate more runs in that spot, right?
Proudly rock your Tararrel in public.

Cameron's definitely more productive, it's not a bad idea
but the difference in runs produced between switching 5 and 6 hitters would be extremely small.
A way to fix your sinking feeling after Cam gets on would be not playing Counsell. :)

They should start Braun at third
Put Nix in left against righties, and call it a day. I mean, it couldn’t go that badly, right? :)

More ammo for your anti-Counsell campaign
Coming into play today the Wizard of Whitefish Bay is one of only ten players in 2008 to have 200 or more plate appearances while slugging under .300. He does have the highest OBP of those ten.

interesting that Wily Mo Pena and Andruw Jones are on that list.
I can’t object to Counsell being the lineup tonight, there isn’t a better option right now (sad). But when Branyan comes back, there will be a better option.

Branyan?
The guy who appeared to have been benched and was eventually put on the DL with a muscle problem? Sounds like Suppan elbow, but I can be a bit cynical.
He squeezed Ned’s daughter’s tailfeather or made a joke about Ned and Ted sitting around in their jocks drinking beers or something.

But the games had a lot of plays that could have shifted things. One was a game where Corey let a ball go by him. One Ludwick made a diving catch of Sheets blooper.

Well, I suppose Albert Pujols can sum it up best
Where “he” refers to the Brewers as a team, and not Brewers emergency starter Chris Saenz.
“I don’t think he had anything,” he told the newspaper. “He just got lucky, I guess.”

If you really care you should check my blog. The PITCHf/x data changes from park to park so you have to correct the data to a park neutral. Harry doesn’t do that so you can have starts that look slow by 3 MPH or vertical movement that is off by 1/2 a foot.

Wish the pitchers spot due up, you’ll get Weeks and then another pinch hitter. So the double bought him exactly one at bat and a dubious defensive upgrade at second. I know they would have pinch hit for Shouse anyway, but that was a needlessly complex move.
