Can the Brewers finish the season with a sweep in St. Louis and win 80 games for just the fourth time in 13 seasons?
Follow the jump for today's pitching matchup, lineup and conversation on today's season finale!
Joel Pineiro (15-12, 3.44) might have been the best pitcher on the Brewers this season (at the very least, he would have had the best ERA), but he's clearly the third best pitcher in the Cardinals' rotation. He's thrown 209 innings this season, leaving him 2.2 short of his career high, and has walked just 1.1 batters per nine innings this season, best in the NL. He's 2-0 against the Brewers this season, having beaten them with a complete game in July and again with a seven inning, four run performance in September. Jody Gerut (.308/.400/.615) hits him well, and Ryan Braun (.200/.200/.267) does not.
Meanwhile, Jeff Suppan (7-12, 5.30) will make his 30th start for the Brewers. He's pitching on short rest, which isn't exactly an ideal situation for a pitcher that's not very good anyway, but apparently his 30th start was just that important. On top of being bad overall, he's been bad lately, posting a 13.06 ERA and allowing 22 hits in his last 10.1 innings. He's only expected to throw 2-3 innings today. Hopefully that won't be enough to take the Brewers out of the game.
He's expected to be followed to the mound by Chris Narveson (2-0, 4.01), who will face his former team for the sixth time this season. Narveson was drafted by the Cardinals in the second round of the 2000 draft, and made five appearances (including a start) for the 2006 World Series Champion team. He's posted a 2.45 ERA in his previous five outings against them, and a 3.38 ERA in four appearances since being moved into the rotation on September 13.
Here's the rest of the bullpen for today:
Todd Coffey pitched one inning (7 pitches) yesterday, and also pitched on Thursday and Friday.
Claudio Vargas pitched one inning (17 pitches) yesterday, and also pitched on Friday.
Trevor Hoffman pitched one inning (9 pitches) yesterday, and also pitched on Friday.
David Weathers pitched one inning (20 pitches) yesterday.
Chris Smith last pitched on Thursday.
John Axford last pitched on Thursday.
Seth McClung last pitched on Thursday.
Mitch Stetter last pitched on Thursday.

Ok folks, I'm a terrible procrastinator, so if you're interested, feel free to help me.
My award ballots for the IBWAA are due at the end of the day today, and I haven’t started work on them yet. So, if you’re so inclined, feel free to make a case for a nominee for any or all of the following awards:
AL Comeback Player of the Year
AL Cy Young (Greinke is #1, who’s #2?)
AL Exec of the Year
AL Manager of the Year
AL ROY
AL MVP (Mauer or Greinke?)
NL Comeback Player of the Year (Carpenter, right?)
NL Cy Young
NL Executive of the Year
NL Manager of the Year
NL MVP (Beyond Pujols #1 and Prince #2)
NL ROY

For the AL
Cy Young – King Felix should be #2 numbers are not that far away from Greinke’s
Manager of the Year – Ron Washington of the Rangers 87 wins is alot more that anyone would of thought at the start of the year.
MVP – Mauer hard to have pitcher as MVP and the Twins are not going to be anywhere close to the playoffs without him.

I'm fine with all three of those arguments
Except I’m leaning towards giving Jack Z Exec of the Year for making the Mariners much better than anyone expected, and Don Wakamatsu Manager of the Year for the same reason.

I was thinking Z as well
And I’d think Gardenhire should be in with a good shout for manager of the year (at last). And obviously Branyan should be Comeback Player of the Year. Or Exec of the Year. Or ROY. Or anything…

for the NL
Comeback player- Yes Carpenter
Cy Young – Carpenter,Wainwright,Lincecum are the top 3 but not sure that is the right order.
NL Executive John Mozeliak of the Cards – no team improved more with trades during the season
NL Manager – Jim Tracey for turning around the Rockies season
MVP Utley and Hanley Rameriz would be fine as 3rd picks would probably go with Rameriz due to a much tougher home park for hitting. Sandavol might worth a shout in part for having the best nickname in baseball.

But I just realized his ERA in his “comeback” season is over 5.
“Coming back from what?” is a tough question, too. Carl Crawford, for example, had a down year (for him) last year and a much better year this year. Does that make him a candidate?

My ballot right now has two NL West GMs
Dan O’Dowd from the Rockies, who managed to trade Matt Holliday and still build a winning team, and Kevin Towers, who I think did a great job in San Diego with the exceptionally limited tools available to him.
I’ve also got Mozeliak, for reasons listed above.
Care to make a case for Sabean over any of them?

Ehh
I just think the ability to build the team back up, without Barry Bonds is exceptional. He signed Randy Johnson, who pitched well prior to injury, signed Affeldt, and generally put his team in a position to compete this year and going forward by developing talent like Wilson, Lincecum, Cain, Sanchez(a stretch, maybe), Sandoval.
Well, maybe their scouting director should win, then. Whomever he may be.
Also, my opinion is that you run the risk of throwing a bone to Towers because a lot of people don’t think he should have gotten the axe. Sure the team has performed better than expected with a AAAA team on a limited budget and tough ownership, but its not like he’s put the team in a position to contend within the next couple of years. In my opinion, anyway.

Right
But he was forced to slash a payroll from $80-90 million to $40-50 million and still managed to build a team that’s only going to finish a few games worse than the Brewers.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
by KLSnow on Oct 4, 2009 2:32 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Noted, but I just don't see it as being something to put someone in the top 3 of that list
I just think Sabean and possibly the scouting or farm director should get more consideration. The Giants really fell from grace after 2004, and they built it back up through player development and shrewd signings, and it nearly paid off in a big way for them this season. Obviously, O’Dowd’s club had a lot to do with the Giants not making a playoff appearance this year, and thus my agreement that he should be in that list.
Then again, I don’t get a vote, I just have an opinion.
Like I said above, maybe it just smacks of pity to me. Or something. Towers as a choice just doesn’t sit right with me for some reason.

He’ll probably get like 10th again this year. It’s so rare that a white middle infielder gets underrated, but wow.

Good question
What happens if a team pays the league minimum for Hall next year? Is that taken from what the Mariners are paying him, or from what the Brewers are paying him? I would imagine the Mariners are only paying a portion of this year’s salary, and the Brewers are still on the hook for all of next year’s. That would mean that the Brewers would catch a bit of a break.

I love that McCalvy always tweets news before Haudricourt
And, mostly, everything else he reports is up before Tommy Boy. You think that’s because Tom’s old and can’t work the internets as well as Adam? Or perhaps Tommy just let’s McC post it first, and then reads and posts it himself.
