Game Thread #114: Brewers (62-51) at Reds (52-61)

Milwaukee Brewers at Cincinnati Reds, Aug 5, 2008 6:10 PM CDT


Seems like a few lopsided pitching matchups haven't gone the way they should lately, so maybe it's for the best that we're sending Dave Bush to the mound--on the road, in a homer-friendly park--against Edison Volquez. 

Game time is 6:10 CT, and here's the BR Game Preview.

Go Brewers!

Thus begins a string of games

that will lead to Fielder’s antics being labeled “The Playoff Push.”

is just lucky it’s not called “The Playoff Punch.”

Well I assume with 2 outs no on up 4 in the 9th. Stros battled back, then coughed it right back up. Bummer.

F%$#$ Stros bullpen

Astros had just battled back from a 6-1 deficit to take a 7-6 lead (on a CLEE HR no less), then the bullpen gives 5 back to the Cubs in the bottom of the inning.

Brewers fan lost in South Carolina.

CC

take your pick. Either C.C. or CC
CC as a body-double
C.C. because he’d do an adequate job and that way you can play either hall or branyan as well.

But to cause a huge distraction during a play off push is simply unacceptable.

So...

Benching your best hitter during a playoff push is the answer? There’s other forms of discipline that don’t punish the whole team.

Best hitter?

sure he’s hit a few HRs lately, but I see the guy hitting before him with more production.

And given the pitching matchup, tonight is a good night to sit him – I pessimistically think we don’t have a chance, even with him in the lineup.

by PagsBrewCrew on Aug 5, 2008 6:13 PM CDT up reply actions  

If not the best, then in the top two

Braun hits for more power. Fielder gets on base more.

If Fielder sits, does Parra get benched for his next start for also being involved?

Who knows?

Maybe he antagonized Fielder more than has been let on. I don’t know the whole story and I don’t think anyone outside the Brewers clubhouse does either.

by TheJay on Aug 5, 2008 6:21 PM CDT up reply actions  

from all reports...

Parra indicated he was going to the lockerroom
Fielder didn’t like that

is that antagonistic?

In any case, Parra didn’t go physical. They can yell and scream all they want, as well as throw bats and helmets out of the dugout. Just not physically take it out on each other.

by PagsBrewCrew on Aug 5, 2008 6:28 PM CDT up reply actions  

absolutely...

and ned must really think everyone else on earth is dumb if he thinks we will believe that none of this is a big deal. why wouldnt he just admit that it was an issue and they are working on it. you HAVE to BENCH prince today , tho; totally inexcusable.

jay; he should be benched no matter who he is...

this is how situations like the MANNY stuff happen. cause they are used to getting away with stuff that is totally unacceptable. and, it is a big deal. you cant go around smacking and attacking people no matter what they say to you. i am a yost hater; but this is just the end of it for me. i think the way he has handled this is classless. embarrassing. it is a big deal; im surprised melvin and attanasio havent stepped in on this one.

I know what you are getting at. But I don’t see how he can get a free pass. He embarrassed both the club and the fan base. Steve Smith got sat for 2 games for fighting, and being a dick caught on tape gets you what… a “atta boy” from Yost?

Trivia!

Who is should start 3 out of 4 games at third base?

OPS

Counsell: .666, .684 vLHP, career .688
Branyan: .925, 1.033 vLHP, career .812

I have no problem with the occasional Counsell start at third, but since when did Counsell replace Branyan in the platoon?
