PrintMilwaukee Brewers at St. Louis Cardinals, Aug 27, 2008 7:15 PM CDT
Fun fact: The Brewers have the fourth best record in baseball right now. Only the Cubs, Rays, and Angels are better, and one could make a case that the Angels play in a weaker division. (They get to play the Mariners...a lot.)
Great matchup of young pitchers tonight: Manny Parra against Adam Wainwright. Parra is coming off of two out of three nice outings, while Wainwright has had one solid start since returning from injury. My only prediction is that neither team will score 12 runs tonight.
Game time is 7:15 CT, and here's the BR Game Preview.
Go Brewers!

Thanks Jeff,
now it’s going to be a 30 run slug fest. Now, I’m worried, because frankly, Albert Pujols scares the hell out of me, having a no doubt MVP caliber season.
any room on the bandwagon?
Tigers fan, been living in Wisconsin the last 5 years, so I’m already a Brewers follower, if only by proximity. I’m a cubs hater, does that help get me in good standing around here?
Been reading some of the stuff on BCB during the summer, but haven’t jumped aboard yet….the way the Tigers just imploded in late July just about killed the Bless You Boys SB Nation blog where I was hanging out, but I’ve taken a couple weeks off from caring about baseball, and find that I want to be in on a playoff race in September.
So, if you’ll let me tag along for the ride….
Always plenty of room on the Brewers bandwagon!
Can we be sure you’re not classified as a type A free agent? We don’t want to be sending Bless You Boys any comp picks now. We value those around here.
Tues: George (34, throw) Mon: George 3 E (33, throwing, throwing, throwing)
Well........
………. I can’t speak for everybody here, but a Cubs hater is always cool with me. Especially sense you are a Tigers fan, and we Brewers fans can all relate with blown expectations after last season’s roller coaster ride, and who blew ’em more than the Tigers this year? Not trying to be offensive, just sympathetic.
"Get up, get up, get outta' here, GONE!!!"
no offense taken….for a team that was slated to be the greatest offensive juggernaut the major leagues have ever been seen to be shut out double digit times is embarrassing. To have multiple versions of Derrick Turnbow trying to close out games, starting with the original Roller Coaster man, Todd Jones, that’s just painful. And then the starting pitching failing to live up to any hype, too?
It’s not even a season that Tiger fans will be able to look back and say coulda shoulda about, our team just stunk from the start….and now, we’re just hoping to finish at .500….
Sure thing
Here’s a quick rundown on how to get around down BCB way:
Oh yeah, this is BCB. The SBN blog supporting the Cubs can be referred to by any number of names (I prefer “Bleed Cubbie Bleed” myself), but it can never be abbreviated “BCB”.
Kirbir sounds fun, and it’ll be exciting for awhile, especially if your previous bedroom experience has been limited to this kingdom of life, but then one night you’ll come home early and find her licking maple syrup out of your dad’s belly button, so don’t say you weren’t forewarned.
Prince Fielder vegetarianism jokes are so overdone. Don’t go there.
Carlos Zambrano baby-eating jokes never get old. Go there, you know you want to.
The last rule, and this cannot be emphasized enough, is that Tony Gwynn is not the center fielder of the future.

Of course not...
“center fielder of the future” would imply he’s not ready to lead the team to victory right now!
Ryan Braun: He loves it.
Don't forget to tell him that...
… if he uses a small sample size to make an argument, Jeff will knee his balls through the roof of his mouth.
Metaphorically speaking, of course.

Tony Gwynn is not the center fielder of the future
Well, duh. Tony Gwynn Jr., however, is the centerfielder of the future. :)
Other tips:
- Don’t say “FIRST!!” in any thread, at any time
- Be all arrogant, unfunny, and jerk-like, just like the rest of us
- Reference KUGS often
- Carlos Zambrano baby-eating jokes never get old.
Also, Fukudome Asian jokes.

Putting recent Brewers/Tigers history behind us...
Sure, welcome aboard. :)
"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!"
The only recent tigers/brewers history I recall is going to Miller Park and seeing….who was it….Rickie weeks, maybe, hiting a Joel Zumaya fastball over the center field wall a couple of years ago….
Of course, when I was in Cooperstown over the summer, I did take a picture of a certain Justin Verlander memento, so strike the first thought.
appreciate the welcome
Joe Bateman
Where does he rate on the Bradford/Shouse/Ziegler/Marmol/Randy Johnson spectrum of arm angles? I’m assuming someone here has seen him pitch. I think I’ve read that he tops out in the mid-80s, but that’s not a concern so much, Ziegler does too.
I’m officially on the Bateman Bandwagon, feel free to join. He’s put up a minor league FIP of 3.80 and has given up 4 homers and only 6 doubles this year in 73 innings! His splits obviously favor righthanders, but we’ll have Shouse and Stetter to use if Batman gets in a jam and has to face a lefty.
50% GB rate on the season is very solid. It’s not quite Ziegler’s 68 percent that he had in about 30 minor league innings this year, but it’s encouraging and fits with what Josh has said about sidearmers getting more drop and movement on their pitches. And unlike Ziegler, he’s struck out a total of 8.76 per 9, that’s almost 2 better than Ziegler did in the minors.
So I’m hoping they call him and Gamel up.
Also, he could be a pinch-hitter! His wikipedia page says that he hit a homer in his only at-bat in A ball with the Giants. And they better play a the batman theme song when he comes in.

As long as we're introducing ourselves...
I’ve been visiting BCB daily since April and lurking on most every game thread since the All-Star Break, so I suppose now’s as good a time as any to jump in. You all seem like a fun group of people to listen to games with.
I’m a Brewers fan from my childhood days of Yount and Molitor, quit following the team when I moved to Nebraska in the mid-90s (hence the way-too-obvious username) and picked ’em back up before this year. And not a moment too soon, either.
I’m not quite sure I understand yet what KUGs are, but I’ll try to refer to them whenever possible.
hey
KUG is a Kendall Unit of Grit. Really just something gritty. Kendall is very gritty so that’s how that started.

It has a Formula!

No, actually, that’s the formula. I bet everyone thinks it’s a joke; that actually is the KUG formula. Kendall’s first on the team with 37.8 KUGs.

Remember this?
They weren’t made for Bo Ryan, but Wisconsin fans didn’t care.The Badger backers stumbled upon the Nebraska Clothing Co. in the Old Market and bought all of the “I’m a BOLIEVER” T-shirts. The shirts, referencing Nebraska football coach Bo Pelini and not Ryan, the Wisconsin basketball head coach, were all sold as of Saturday.
“I would say there was probably around 30 of them,” said Debbie Meyer, owner of the store. “Two gals came in right when I opened on Friday and asked why we had the shirts. When I told them, they called friends back in Wisconsin and bought some for them, too.”
Steve Spriester came up with the idea through a text-messaging conversation with a friend about who would be the next NU football coach. He said the demand for the men’s (red shirt, white lettering) and women’s (white shirt, red lettering) shirts are just a lucky bounce of sorts.
“We’ve got an unintentionally hot item on our hands,” Spriester said. “We’re just Nebraska fans who wanted Bo Pelini four years ago and wanted to show our support. It kind of steamrolled into something bigger this weekend.”
Spriester said the shirts can be purchased at spreenjab.com. He said there were no immediate plans to start saturating the Madison, Wis., market just yet.
“It’s kind of just a hobby,” he said of the T-shirt business. “But it definitely was a pretty funny story.”

Oh, yeah.
Somebody explain the about grit to the new guy.

Yeah
I know what it stands for, but I thought at first it was legitimate praise, though now I’m realizing it seems to be something of a backhanded compliment.
In my book, grit is a genuine compliment.

Hey, did anybody else notice?
With their recent success our bullpen has now passed the Cubs in Reliever ERA and sits fourth in the National League?
Guess nobody told the talking heads and our “bullpen weaknesses”
Ryan Braun: He loves it.
I love how the media doesn't let facts get in the way of a good story
SI ran an article last week about the Cubs dominant bullpen and how that’s the difference between this year and last year for them, and that’s why they’ll easily win the Central.

Unfortunately
that would require me going through each players splits and doing a lot of additional work, when contact % would accomplish pretty much the same thing.
Tues: George (34, throw) Mon: George 3 E (33, throwing, throwing, throwing)
in the ironic gritty part of the formula
if you insist on rewarding CS and punishing SB for some unknown reason, then you should reward fouls-on-pitches-down-the-middle. I don’t know if that data is readily available though.
by PagsBrewCrew on Aug 27, 2008 7:40 PM CDT up reply actions
Yeah, that has to get changed
I don’t want to reward SBs- because then guys like Joey Gathright get a higher KUG than Kendall because they’re really fast. Really fast guys aren’t gritty (maybe because they’re black?). If anyone has suggestions, let me know.

Tues: George (34, throw) Mon: George 3 E (33, throwing, throwing, throwing)
You could subtract the absolute value of the standard deviations from the mean in raw SB and SB%. That way anyone who steals a lot or a little and too well or too poorly will be penalized. Or maybe set your SB total target at one std dev above the mean and do the subtractions from there. That sounds like a gritty fulcrum.

Down and in is kind of the happy zone for a lot of left handed batters. Straight change then I assume?

Circle actually
Can you elaborate on why a straight change is better for facing same-handed hitters?
BCB's "very own marginally deserving all-star!"
Well the circle moves more down and in
So lefty-lefty it isn’t great. The straight moves like the fastball so I think that would be better in that situation. Glavine throws the straight change for instance and he basically only throws a fastball and a change.

…I’m done with defending Yost. I’ve never been against him or said a negative thing about him until now, but I’m done with defending him and am now indifferent towards him being fired. His lineups have been awful and tonight’s bullpen work has turned me.
Also, whoever is responsible for Braun and Hart’s refusal to walk and Rickie Weeks’ swing having deteriorated so much can just outright go. If that’s Yost I go from indifference to a strong loathing.
Maddox can stay. Maybe. Indifferent.
Breathe
The Brewers still have 21 more wins than losses. In fact, they still have the 2nd best record in the NL. And what if Braun and Hart are responsible for their tendencies to avoid BBs? Should we cast them off? Too many games remain to react irrationally to each loss.
I have too much time to get anything done
I think the amount of homers that Hart and Braun hit makes up for their inability to take balls
Weeks and Hall, however, need some more work in that area.

“Prince Fielder made the last out of an inning 5 times. That’s pretty difficult to do in a nine inning game.”
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.

One other note
We ended up 10-5 against the Cards with 6 at home and 9 on the road.
And 3.5 up at end of head to head

Ok I meant one other one other thing
For much of this year I kind of had a hard time rooting against the Cards. I mean I respect the job TRL does managing the team and Duncan their pitching coach. Really getting everything they can out of the players.
Now though I think I won’t have as much trouble rooting against them.
Yeah he whines
But he squeezes every last drop of winning percentage from his team. Isn’t that what a manager is supposed to do?

Looking ahead
A ton of lefties coming up as well. Gorzelanny and Maholm in the pirates series and Johan and Perez in the Mets series. We did a number on Johan earlier in the year.
Rickie hit his first ML homer off Johan
That was a great game.
BCB's "very own marginally deserving all-star!"
Just thought of something kinda funny
Pujols called Villanueva a POS…
…in English.
