Game Thread #-30: Rockies (0-6) at Brewers (2-3-1)

PrintWell, the Brewers have lost back to back games, and will look to avoid their third consecutive loss while hosting the only winless team in the Cactus League.
It's Yovani Gallardo vs Greg Smith at 2:05 from Maryvale. Gallardo struggled with control in his first spring start, walking two and giving up a hit in one scoreless inning of work before being pulled early to save his pitch count. Smith also struggled, giving up three runs on three hits and three walks in two innings.
No radio coverage again today, but if you're a Gameday Audio subscriber you can catch the game on Brewers.com. If you're not, I'd recommend it: it's only $15 to be able to listen to every Brewer spring training game and every regular season MLB game.
If you can't or won't get Gameday Audio, you can watch the Gameday feed at this link:

(I think that's right.)
And, if you're bored waiting for today's game to start, don't forget to stop by Beyond the Box Score for their NL Central chat from 1-2. Tuesday's game thread is now open.

this could be bad
I thought Looper was a good signing because he would fill in for someone who got hurt, not that he would be the one getting hurt…
The designated hitter rule is like letting someone else take Wilt Chamberlain's free throws.
The video package has some decent games today
I’m watching Team USA vs NYY for a look at Braun.

No sign of Braun yet
And Hughes is making Team USA look silly.

Braun just came up to bat
Single to left. Take that, Hughes!

Team USA takes the lead 2-1
Jeter single scores Braun and somebody that’s not Braun

Brewer lineup
Via McCalvy:
Rickie Weeks, 2B
Chris Duffy, LF
J.J. Hardy, SS
Prince Fielder, 1B
Corey Hart, RF
Mike Cameron, CF
Mike Rivera, C
Casey McGehee, 3B
Yovani Gallardo, RHP
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Mike Rivera!?!?!
I wish there was video

Video of Rivera playing would probably be really grainy and from a distance. It would be exactly like the old Bigfoot footage. Then people can debate if it really is Rivera or just Kendall in a fat suit.

I have a cast of a Rivera footprint I found near a baseball diamond.

more bad news
with qualifiers on the “bad” depending on how you feel about these guys. Gagne is further broken, and the next entry on the blog states that Gwynn is still restricted from throwing.
I think that indicates both will not be on the 25 man roster
Gagne will try to find another team, or agree to go to the minors to start the season…
And Gywnn will not make the roster, placed on waivers, and probably be claimed by seattle or the pirates or some other random team
Not the end of the world as I think other cheap options are available in the bullpen, and Gywnn never was going to contribute a significant amount on the major league level. Still think the worst news is the Looper injury
The designated hitter rule is like letting someone else take Wilt Chamberlain's free throws.
Can you DFA/waive Gwynn if he is injured?
"You are only a success at the moment that you do a successful act"
-Tex Winter
If he's on the DL, they won't have to.
Until he comes off, anyway.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Could they just keep him on the DL all year?
thats a solution
The designated hitter rule is like letting someone else take Wilt Chamberlain's free throws.
I think they'll DL him til May 1.
Then, when he comes off and they DFA him, no one will want to burn a roster spot on a guy who hasn’t faced live pitching in 2 months.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
so then
will the Brewers cut Rivera in June using the same logic?
September 15: Not a bad little Monday
Intensity
You can almost feel B.A. resisting the urge to talk about how gritty Chris Duffy is.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
What the...
I thought to be Ace Like you were supposed to almost give up a lead off HR. Follow that with 2 walks and then a home run. Gallardo, you are doing it wrong!
yeah
I forgot the exclamation point. If they are gonna try all this crap, might as well do it now.
"....si si Peeeeedro"
Does anyone have a link for gameday?
Swing and a drive, left center and deep, get up.....get outta here gone, for Ryan Braun - What a shot by Braun, and the Brewers have the lead.... - Bob Uecker bottom of the 8th, Game 162 - 2008
nevermind, found it in the start of this thread
I tried it earlier, and it didn’t have the game up yet….

I want to like Kent
He’s been around for a while, Ueck seems to like him, etc.
But during innings where he’s doing play by play, I really have to fight the urge to go do something else.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
I'm becoming a Duffy fan
I admit that it’s partially from playing against the Pirates in MLB2k8, though. I think I’d be good with Nelson and Duffy.

I can go with that.

R.J. Swindle
Congratulations on making the roster.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Rivera HR!
Congratulations, son. You can play in 13 games this year.
by Marty McSuperFly on Mar 3, 2009 4:17 PM CST reply actions
Rivera's kinda like the Army
He hits more home runs before March 3rd than Kendall will hit all year.

Christian Colonel
Sounds like a guy jihad would’ve cheered for.
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
Sounds like a high ranking soldier in the Crusades.
Eric Gagne DL time: May 23-June 29 Brewers record in that span: 20-9
Holy crap
I think Bill Schroeder has a dachshund. I take back everything negative I’ve ever said about him.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
I just sent her a text message asking her lol
She hasn’t heard from me in 2 years, it’ll probably be kind of weird for her to get but oh well
Yeah she hasn't responded... maybe i should've stayed a little closer to
her when i went away to college. Or she has a new phone # by now, who knows
I'm sleeping with his daughter right now.
"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!"
Trot Nixon!
Now 1-for-13 on the spring, but the one is a home run.
