Game Thread #-35: Brewers (0-0-1) at Cubs (1-0)

They say a tie is like kissing your sister. Hopefully all the Brewers have sisters that look like Brett Lawrie's sister Danielle.

At any rate, the Brewers will try to do better today in their first road game of the spring, traveling to Mesa to take on the Cubs. It's Yovani Gallardo (NR) against Sean Marshall (NR) today at 2:05.

I think it goes without saying that this game, the first 2009 meeting between the Brewers and Cubs, is a must win.

The game is on WTMJ and Brewers.com via Gameday Audio. Also, thanks to TheJay for passing along this note:

Hey,

I'm not sure if you saw this in the comments or not, but MLB Gameday is "covering" spring games even though MLB.com doesn't announce that fact. It isn't pitch-by-pitch and it seems to lag badly, but that might improve as spring goes on. It might be worth putting into Game Threads as an option for people who can't listen and want an alternative to the MLB.com boxscore.

The URL for tomorrow's game is http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2009_02_26_milmlb_chnmlb_1

Just when I think Tim Lincecum is the awesomest player in baseball

He goes and gets awesomer.

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/sfgate/detail?blogid=22&entry_id=36288

Not that Lincecum minds the $650,000. I talked to him this morning, and he said he feels he has to work hard to live up to the 62 percent hike.

“I think it’s fair what I got,” Lincecum said. “I’m not saying I got gypped at all. I’m happy with what I got. Now I’ve just to live up to that expectation. You see pay increases and you expect results. That’s what happens from the fan standpoint. Now I’ve just got to push it, I guess.”

It would be really nice if his arm stays attached long enough to endorse some bigger checks, though.

S'ok

When there’s no comments on the Mug, I just assume that means I was correct in every opinion.

Kissing your sister

We always used to joke that every time Corey Hart hits a home run, he gets to kiss his sister.

I had never heard of a tie being like kissing your sister, so I just assumed that everybody did the same joke… guess I was wrong.

Evil BCB

Seems to indicate delight at seeing some of our starters and our staff ace. Perhaps it’s Lous attempt at trying to keep the Cubs mysterious. (even though the only starter we really don’t know is Bradley and he’s in)

We’ll see how long our starters are in today.

They must not read the good BCB enough…

Statistically speaking I think our sarcasm+ and pun+ is probably the highest for all SBNation. Would you say 290? Much like the statistic ERA+ for Pedro Martinez in 2000.

I’m just wondering if Samardzija is going to end up in Lou’s doghouse after a few more starts like that, and if so, if the Cubs brass will let him be there. No, the new owners didn’t give him that giant signing bonus, but I’m sure they don’t want their other investment wasted.

Scouting report on Darwin Barney

Via John Sickels:

Barney was a 4th round pick in ’07, out of Oregon St. He is a fundamentally solid player with a solid, if unspectacular, glove at shortstop. But scouts have always worried his lack of power could inhibit his future in pro ball.

He hit .262/.325/.357 in Daytona (A+, Florida State League) in 2008. Sickels rates him as a C prospect.

"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."

by KLSnow on Feb 26, 2009 1:19 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Sickels goes on to say

he’d be a C+ prospect if he could get his names in the right order.

I think that they normally look for around 30 pitches for the starters

And he must of got close to that already, might be 2inns for Dillard or McClung instead

I'm ok with that

I’m interested to see how McClung is throwing.

by theBrouhaha on Feb 26, 2009 2:38 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Clung in to pitch

And since the pitcher’s spot ended the 2nd, it’d make sense for him to get 2 innings.

I think I’ve figured out why I think Provus talks too fast.

He’ll say, “Here’s the pitch,” and immediately afterwards, he’s telling the result.

Excellent. I say that because GameDay is forever stuck in the top of the 4th Inning. Apparently they want added suspense before Cam rocks Gaudin.

DP ended that rally pretty quick....

I stand corrected

It must be pronounced McGee and not Mc-gee-hee, as Cory calls him that and he should know.

Didn't you see him play in Iowa, though?

Although I thought it was “McGee” too, but I only saw him play the once.

I did, but I don't remember one way or another.

"All right Cory, thank you very much"

That just doesn’t sound right.

Anyone see anything

Related to the schedule of spring training games that will be broadcast on FSN? It always seems they do a couple every ST.

Rivera is getting hot.

Ned would have left him on the bench for the next month.

I think Mugatu would tell Prince Fielder

"Oh, I’m sorry, did my pin get in the way of your ass? Do me a favor and lose five pounds immediately or get out of my building like now! "

The designated hitter rule is like letting someone else take Wilt Chamberlain's free throws.

Either that DP was pretty routine, or Escobar made it sound like it was.
