PrintMiami 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.

The more important question:

PNC has alot of nice seats – pity you can see most of them, there is easily less than 10k there.

Very useful, i am sure that Macha looks at that every day, so it might help us understand his thinking on a lot of bullpen calls

I think Willie Randolph looks at it every day
Macha doesn’t seem to be the type to proactively investigate anything to do with his team.
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
I hope he looks at it every day.
But, considering some of the things he hasn’t known this season (Todd Coffey throws hard? Bill Hall has never played left?), I worry.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
I think he mentioned it in Bob and Brian's podcast
He looked at it closely in Spring Training atleast, I would assume he keeps doing it during the season
The designated hitter rule is like letting someone else take Wilt Chamberlain's free throws.
Right, but strategic use isn't an issue in spring training.
That’s a different world, because he’s just making sure everyone gets work.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
some of the reasons he listed not using Hoffman though
Where he worked in a certain number of nights in a row… so it is something he considers- I guess that is common sense with a guy cmoing back from injury though

Completely unrelated note
I hope Vander Blue doesn’t decommit from the Badgers, because I’m looking forward to four (or five) years of that name.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
if he goes to Marquette you still might be able to enjoy it!
And if you only watch Badger games, he will play the Badgers once a year atleast… I heard rumors he might be looking at big schools- and looking for a faster pace team

Yeah, not a Marquette fan.
But I am considering getting UWGB season tickets once I’m in Appleton.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Wow
I wasnt expecting it until the interleague series, but maybe they want him to get used to being in the majors before he starts as the DH.
The designated hitter rule is like letting someone else take Wilt Chamberlain's free throws.
In the pregame show, Macha just said Hall will start tomorrow.
So, unless something has changed in the last few hours, Gamel is coming up to sit tomorrow…
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Wow
That is very interesting.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
I guess Counsell needs to write harder

Rec'd.
I laughed out loud.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
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.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
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."
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."
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 didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
So Counsell effectively backing up Hardy and Weeks
Gamel backing up Hall and Prince?
The designated hitter rule is like letting someone else take Wilt Chamberlain's free throws.
More like Hall backing up Gamel.
And Hall backing up Hardy, and Weeks, and maybe Cameron…
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
I don't really understand that.
With how well Hall has been playing this year. A platoon would be a better idea.
:) + Suppan = :'(
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.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
do you think that means they're comfortable with his defense?
or they really feel they need that bat?
battlekow: Bill is having an oppo-gasm
Well...he's obviously not being called up just to DH, so I guess they must be
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
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.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
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.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
maybe they read the notes that says
that he hasn’t had an error in 17 days
by PagsBrewCrew on May 13, 2009 8:14 PM CDT up reply actions
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.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
counsell is being traded to the marlins
like durham from the giants last year.
just pack your stuff and go on the other team’s bus.
by PagsBrewCrew on May 13, 2009 8:16 PM CDT up reply actions
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.
"my goodness"
by BrewHaHeather on May 13, 2009 6:53 PM CDT up reply actions
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.
Ryan Braun: He loves it.
maybe Melvin read the fanpost on the bench sucking
The designated hitter rule is like letting someone else take Wilt Chamberlain's free throws.
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.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Yeah, but he called the call during interleague to DH
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
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.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
HE CALLED THE CALL, OKAY?
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
We're missing the point. Gamel will just make problems worse.
What we need are MAJOR LEAGUE HITTERS!!!!!! Trade for the rights to Ted Williams cryogenically frozen body/head!

He’s an 0-for. The only weak spot on this team is the bench. Nothing wrong with shaking it up. I miss a Gabe Gross/Kapler clutch pinch hit HR. I think the mustache does too.
