Game Thread #151: Brewers (83-67) at Cubs (90-58)

Mordecai_brown_tiny by Jeff Sackmann on in Game Threads Comment 502 comments

Milwaukee Brewers @ Chicago Cubs


I'm ready, and I'm super-psyched!

We've got a new manager, a new lineup, a new fifth starter, and a reason to smile again.

And, dudes, GALLARDO COULD BE BACK THIS WEEKEND.  Yes, he'd pitch out of the bullpen, but it's all-caps-worthy nonetheless.  Even if all Jimmy Chitwood could do was shoot free throws, coach stays.  (Um, hmm, bad analogy.)

Tonight's matchup is CC against Ryan Dempster, two guys in the running for the NL Cy Young Award--and I'm not sure which one is more of a surprise for that honor.

Game time is 7:05 CT, and here's the BR Game Preview.

Go Brewers!

what's up with the media on melvin

granted i’ve only listened to wssp but cliff (who i can’t stand anyways) feel melvin may be gone and sparky (who i do like) feels melvin won’t be back next year…

personally, i hope he is back next year i don’t know who else they’d hire anyways? jack z?

just curious what everyone else thinks around here?

If Melvin were let go, that Yost character probably has some time on his hands…

“advisory role”

Doug: So, Ted, you can either take the managing role or become GM next year after I retire.
Ted: GM role
Doug: Good, for now, you’ll be my advisor. Who should I hire as the interim manager?
Ted: We should hire the worst person possible…so I can hire a new one next year…Dale Sveum!
Doug: Genius! Consider it done.

Everything about this paragraph is wrong.
All of that, plus Mike Cameron leading off. Sveum just said he wanted some experience in the top spot, so he was willing to ignore Cameron’s high strikeout rate and low on-base percentage. He told the team in a meeting a little while ago that they would be doing more bunting and hit-and-running — “small ball,” if you will — so he probably wants Camerons speed up there, assuming he gets on base.

TH is wrong about Cameron and reasoning for hitting him leadoff, Svueeum has a bad philosophy on “small ball”, and to top it off, there’s an apostrophe error in the last line.

Really, though, I’m excited about this game. It should be really interesting to watch with all the changes, and I buy that things might be a bit more relaxed without Nervous Ned at the helm.

I wonder how long it will take for a writer to refer to this as the “Post-Yost era”.

Tonight's order is sure interesting.

I don’t think Hardy is going to like being dropped in the order again. But with bats in front of him and protection behind him in Hart could prove to be effective. You would think Hart would be better in front of him, getting on base to allow J.J. to see some fastballs that he likes so much. But since Sveum is “one of the best coaches [Yost] has ever seen,” I guess time will only tell. Hopefully the angry drunk side doesn’t come out today.

That's OK

He could see 3rd base from where he was sitting, so that counts.

I wonder

You assume that, regardless of the multitude of reasons why he SHOULD have been fired, Yost was let go as a last-ditch effort to get into the playoffs.

If that’s the case, then, if any of these took place:

  • The Cubs were a .500-ish team or worse
  • The Phillies or Mets were a .500-ish team or worse
  • The Brewers were 5-6 wins better.
  • The Brewers had 10 or so fewer wins

I reckon Yost woud still be the manager.

What do I have to do to get Hardy at third and Escobar at short for the remainder?

by HRF on Sep 16, 2008 6:44 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Hardy's never played third base as a pro

What makes you think he’d be a good option there for the last twelve games? Give him the offseason to work on the position.

Counsell and Cam are rolling up Dempster's PC tonight

maybe we can get Marmol’s arm to fall off the first game of the series.

"He signed Mike Cameron to man center field, even though Cameron faced a 25-game suspension to start the season "
melvin had no knowledge of the suspension before he signed Cam…

I don't have time to look up the dates right now

but I am 99.9% sure that’s incorrect. Melvin knew about it.

ok, yes I do have time. He was suspended in October.

Also, cheese.

If the Brewers lose this game

will Torres still be predicting we catch the Cubs?

CC is the one that’s screwing this up. Why you guys gotta blame Dale already? You think Dale can duct tape CC’s arm back on?

If Dale doesn't know how to use duct tape

he should never have been made manager to begin with.

by sheeter on Sep 16, 2008 8:11 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

It's his arm falling off?

I could’ve sworn facing the best offense in the league might be partly to blame.

Why isn't Dempster's arm falling off yet?

I demand an investigation into the use of performance enhancers.*

I don't think it's fatigue

Sabathia has been the best pitcher in the NL since he joined the Brewers, but I don’t think he handles pressure very well.

His worst games, if I recall correctly, have been against the Cubs (now x2) and his debut game which had a playoff atmosphere.

Ryan Braun: He loves it.

At least Dempster is up to 75 pitches...

That’s something. We are winning the “pitch count battle”

If they bring in Marmol

Can Sveum pull a reverse-Yost, having McClung pinch hit in order to throw his bat at him?
