Florida Marlins at Milwaukee Brewers, May 13, 2009 7:05 PM CDT
Fresh off the success of Mac and Cheese Tuesday, I'll be enjoying tonight's game with Chicken with Blue Cheese Sauce and perhaps some sweet potato muffins.
Meanwhile, the Brewers hope Ricky Nolasco will continue to serve up something delicious as well. Nolasco is 2-3 in 2009 and has posted a 6.63 ERA in 38 innings. In a strange scheduling quirk, tonight is Nolasco's sixth straight start on the road, and he's 1-2 in those contests. No current Brewer has faced Nolasco more than five times, but Mike Cameron and Bill Hall have both taken him deep. Hall is out of tonight's lineup, replaced by Craig Counsell.
Braden Looper will take the mound for the Brewers. He's 2-2 with a 4.18 ERA in 2009, but has picked up the loss in each of his last two starts. Looper was a Marlin from 1999 to 2003 and appeared in 368 games for the Fish. Since then he's faced them 20 times (including four starts), and is 4-2 with a 3.86 ERA and four saves.
Here are tonight's lineups, via Adam McCalvy:
MARLINS
Emilio Bonifacio 3B
Chris Coghlan LF
Hanley Ramirez SS
Jorge Cantu 1B
John Baker C
Dan Uggla 2B
Jeremy Hermida RF
Alfredo Amezaga CF
Ricky Nolasco RHP
BREWERS
Rickie Weeks 2B
Craig Counsell 3B
Ryan Braun LF
Prince Fielder 1B
Mike Cameron CF
J.J. Hardy SS
Corey Hart RF
Jason Kendall C
Braden Looper RHP
A quick look at the bullpen for tonight's game:
Carlos Villanueva pitched yesterday, and has appeared in four straight games (over five days).
Mark DiFelice pitched yesterday, and has appeared in two straight games (over three days).
Trevor Hoffman pitched yesterday.
Todd Coffey has not pitched since Saturday.
Seth McClung has not pitched since Saturday.
Jorge Julio has not pitched since Saturday.
Mitch Stetter has not pitched since Saturday.
Wednesday's Game Thread is now open.

I calculated that calling him up around May 15th would delay his free agency by a year
So it seems like they waited exactly long enough to do just that. Based on the timing (being well before the Brewers even dip a toe into interleague play), it would seem that he’s up to stay. Should be interesting to see how this plays out.

Braun was held until May 25, for the same reason.
Apparently the Brewers felt like they had enough leeway to go 11 or so days earlier with Gamel.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
by KLSnow on May 13, 2009 6:48 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
so then
Gamel effectively replaces McGehee?
by warwick5s on May 13, 2009 6:49 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Or Nelson.
And one would think he’ll play pretty regularly, so at the very least he’s probably taking Counsell’s starts at third.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
by KLSnow on May 13, 2009 6:50 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Maybe roster-wise
But I think Gamel will see a significant amount of playing time and Bill Hall will end up replacing McGehee role-wise. It doesn’t make sense to have an entirely left-handed bench, even if McGehee was only nominally a hitter.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.

If McGehee is the one getting the axe, I mean
I think it’s more likely to be Nelson, as Kyle said.

I think Gamel and Hall will end up platooning at third with Gamel seeing the lion's share of the playing time
Like you said, Counsell will resume being a backup middle infielder.

Y'know, it's possible they really are calling him up to be the top bat off the bench.
Like they did with Fielder in 2005.
We can argue about whether or not that would be a good decision, but it’s certainly possible.

It would be even less surprising than it was with Fielder, I suppose
The team is a little farther ahead in the success cycle and thus more likely to sacrifice development for the big league team’s needs. But still…it would be a little odd.

There is another possibility here, though.
Melvin said no trade is done, but it’s possible something is pending that could open a roster spot for Gamel. They wouldn’t announce it before the game, because you might need that guy in the game, like they did with Gabe Gross.

excited but confused
I’m excited to see him play but he’s just gonna sit on the bench. It’s not a Braun-like situation where there is a position in desparate need of an offensive upgrade (unless he can catch). I just don’t know why you bring up a top prospect, who still needs a little seasoning in the minors, to sit on the bench.

Considering the current offensive-powerhouse on the Brewers bench is Craig Counsell, I’d say it’s a pragmatic move bringing him up even if he sits most of the time.

Well, there is some precedent to play with here.
When Prince Fielder got the initial call in 2005, he played most days, but after he was sent down and called back, he was primarily a pinch hitter.

Right
But he was kept up for a couple of weeks after interleague play, and brought back in August. He played in 25 games after August 18, but only started three times.
