PrintMilwaukee Brewers at St. Louis Cardinals, May 18, 2009 7:15 PM CDT
So we know these things for sure:
- Regardless of tonight's outcome, the Brewers are 8-0-2 in their last 10 series.
- Regardless of tonight's outcome, the Brewers will open a three game series in Houston tomorrow in sole posession of first place in the NL Central.
With that said, a sweep would still be pretty nice. The Brewers are 12-5 against the Cardinals since the start of the 2008 season, and have won eight of their last nine games in St. Louis.
The Cardinals send Kyle Lohse to the mound tonight. Lohse is 3-2 with a 4.25 ERA in seven starts this season, and is 18-8 with a 3.86 ERA since joining the Cardinals at the start of last season. Ryan Braun, Prince Fielder, Corey Hart and J.J. Hardy have faced him a combined 36 times and never taken him deep, but Craig Counsell did it once. Lohse threw a couple of innings before the rainout on Friday, but not enough to keep him from starting again on short rest tonight.
For the Brewers, former Cardinal Braden Looper takes the mound. As noted in the Mug this morning, Looper has something to prove to the Cardinals, who let him walk without offering him arbitration after two solid seasons in their rotation. Looper has not pitched well his last few times out, but is still 3-2 with a 4.70 ERA in 2009. He's got big shoes to fill tonight: Brewer pitchers have allowed just two runs over two games in this series.
With Rickie Weeks out for the rest of the season, Craig Counsell gets the start at second tonight and Mat Gamel gets his first start at third:
2B Craig Counsell
SS J.J. Hardy
LF Ryan Braun
1B Prince Fielder
CF Mike Cameron
RF Corey Hart
3B Mat Gamel
C Jason Kendall
RHP Braden Looper
Here's a look at the bullpen's status for tonight:
Todd Coffey pitched two innings yesterday.
Seth McClung pitched one inning yesterday.
Trevor Hoffman has not pitched since Saturday.
Mark DiFelice has not pitched since Saturday.
Mitch Stetter has not pitched since Saturday.
Carlos Villanueva has not pitched since Wednesday.
Jorge Julio has not pitched since last Saturday.
Monday's Game Thread is now open.

Piss on McGehee

Me too
I vote he gets a second opinion. I’d tell him to tape it up with duct tape, load up on cortisone, and GRIT it out.
Remember how bad Rickie was with a weak wrist last time?
Even if he could play, he probably wouldn’t be able to hit.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Hall or if they go the trade route
Durham/ Damion Easley
The designated hitter rule is like letting someone else take Wilt Chamberlain's free throws.
I just hope all this Rickie business
doesn’t take away the team’s mojo, because they are on some kind of role

New front page poll.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
I don't even know who to vote for.
Wouldn’t Corey be the new everyday leadoff hitter?

That's a different poll.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
I'm nowhere near the ledge.
This is disappointing, but it could be much worse.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Of course.
But this team has been performing pretty well and will hopefully carry on past the loss of one player.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Yeah it's definitely another question entirely
but doesn’t it make the most sense?
by MillerParkSouth on May 18, 2009 6:42 PM CDT up reply actions
Yeah, probably
But my guess would be Counsell will lead off most days, at least when he’s playing.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
No Grudzielanek option?
There has to be a FA signing, if you ask me. This team is playing well enough that settling with the craptastic internal options we have is really just unacceptable.
Either Grudzielanek or Durham. Why isn’t Durham signed anywhere, btw? He had a very nice season last year.
Ryan Braun: He loves it.
Seems like he wanted too much money.
He was offered minor league deals and rejected them.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
I was under the impression
That it was less a matter of the money and more a matter of wanting to play every day, or at least most days, i.e. be at least a platoon player, rather than riding the pine or being in the minors. I suspect if the Brewers are so inclined, they could probably pick him up to play most days.
Brewers Baseball and other assorted nonsense (mostly the assorted nonsense) at my blog, What's a Tararrel?
He could have been a National, IIRC
"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!"
Found the story
He turned down $850k and a chance to win a starting job with the Nationals.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
I can see 2 platoons developing
Gamel/Hall at 3B and Counsell/McGehee at 2B
Counsell can also give JJ the odd day off aswell. There is no need to make a panic trade right away until we see how things go. There might be something else that happens that means we need to make more moves.
There is also some depth at AAA with Iribarren and Escobar down there.
I agree with you.
Counsell’s been playing often and well yet still holding up… we should give him a chance to keep that up for awhile. If McGehee can do anything like he did in spring training, they’d be a nice pair. The third base platoon makes me a bit nervous… Gamel’s glove?

it'll be like braun's rookie year all over again
"Cubs fans boo again – 99% of these people can’t see the plate." -Ueck
thanks. you always get gems from listening to uecker
"Cubs fans boo again – 99% of these people can’t see the plate." -Ueck
Well, his throws are bad
But they’re largely being blamed on footwork. So really, it’s Gamel’s arm and lower extremities.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Right - didn't mean that literally, bodily
Throwing errors, not fielding errors…hence the 1B predictions, etc.
Still pro-Cameron
I can see he has a fielding pct of .879 lifetime at 3B
and .915 the last year and a bit.
1 How much higher does it have to get to be acceptable? (Hall is .944 at 3B so close to that I assume)
2 How much is somebody like Randolph going to help him get there?
IIRC
He was about league average defensively last season. Anyone remember? It was the year before when he was dreadful.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
aside from throwing errors
he was league average defensively, according to TZ.
Also, cheese.
by Jeff Sackmann on May 18, 2009 7:06 PM CDT up reply actions
Ah
“Aside from throwing errors” is the very important part of that sentence that I didn’t know about.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Well
TZ measures plays made. A fielding error usually has the same result as a single, so the fact that it’s an error isn’t any different from just having bad range.
A throwing error, though, can result in extra bases. That’s worse than having poor range. So he was league average except for the extra bases given up by bad throws.
Also, cheese.

Essentially, if the bench is mostly platoonable IF/OF types
Then it could be interesting.
Pens, 2 quick goals…man I love this team.
Still pro-Cameron
I guess when I said "glove"
I was more or less referring to his defensive skills in general, not particularly his actual glove.
I'm Jim Sensenbrenner, damnit!
by Princess Grumbles on May 18, 2009 6:51 PM CDT up reply actions
Well, if his glove by itself was the problem
He could just steal a new one from Vinny Rottino.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Ah Rickie
I left the taxi on the bridge, and I’m looking at that army brochure…uh oh, basketball out the window…
Still pro-Cameron
Here's a distraction for you.
Twins are self destructing in the first against the Yankees, and R.A. Dickey is in to knuckleball his way out of it.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
I'd heard that Ed Sedar has a distinctive voice
But I hadn’t actually heard it until today. I can see how Tim Dillard could have fun with an Ed Sedar impression.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Isn't Cutter Dykstra playing second now?
Bring him up! :)
Also, we can move Gamel to second, where the throw is easier. :)
"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!"
If we're going that far down the ladder
Brett Lawrie is available, and Taylor Green is healthy again.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Apricot wheat beer?
Is that homebrew, or did you get it from somewhere? I could see that being something my brother would like.
I actually got it from trader joes (the only time i've ever been there)
I love wheat beer. It’s nowhere near melbourne brothers, but it’s also nowhere near as expensive
I usually buy Pyramid Apricot Ale from TJ's
However, I have just realized that I am out. I am beerless.
So I was excited
I get FSN Midwest in Des Moines (St. Louis), so I normally get Cardinals games, and was looking forward to watching tonight’s game. I just turned it on and there’s poker on.
This is not a good day.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
A few weeks ago FSN had
Cheerleading on instead of the Brewers. Or even more unwatchable there have been Bucks games on, ewwww.
Actually, FSN Midwest has the Cardinal game tonight, in most markets.
But apparently my cable provider didn’t pick it up. So I have poker. And the overwhelming urge to start something on fire.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
And one of the few reasons I'm looking forward to living in Wisconsin again.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
What's wrong with poker?
You’re gonna go nuts when that 7 Comes on the river and nobody hits a thing!!!!
I'll admit, I was into the poker fad for a while
But only because I was in college and it led to a strip poker fad in my apartment.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Nope
In fact, my school was almost 75% female. :-)

Interesting poll on FSN tonight
Which team do you enjoy the Brewers beating more? Cubs or Cardinals?
Normally I would say the Cubs but lately I would say the Cards because of the high and mighty attitude they have. It’s a tough choice.
"my goodness"
i gotta stick with the cubs
i hate their fans, at least cardinals fans are baseball fans
"Cubs fans boo again – 99% of these people can’t see the plate." -Ueck
Cubs
If the Cards were in the playoffs I would root for them against quite a few teams. Cubs on the other hand I’d rather root for the Yankees.
Plus in Madison
there are alot of fashion Cubs fans
I've seen more brewers gear in Madison the last few weeks than I ever have
still too much Cubs gear but it’s probably 10:1 in favor of the Crew
I’m not downtown though, I’m sure campus has a worse ratio
My roommate last year was a big fan
He bought one of those Old Time cubs neon lights and put it in the living room.
I'm within walking distance
of the Capitol….there are way more Cubs fans that I care to see….but at least the out-of-town students are leaving and it’s getting better. I want my city back.

Cameron should be more like a Cardinal player and show no emotion towards the game. Collect his paycheck and go home.
Raised his hands in the air to celebrate,
clearly intended to disrespect the game.
They hit home runs
not to win games, but only so they can celebrate them and spite the other team

But I’m pretty sure that having fewer hits than Jason Kendall is an automatic disqualifier. It’s waaaaaay down there in the BBWAA bylaws.

"That's not a weird stat. Rickie is a run-scorer," Yost said. "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter," Yost told reporters. "See, you guys have no concept. He's a run-scorer. So there's nothing weird about it. That's what he does."
wasn't someone advocating re-naming their stadium

bit late
but I’ll put it on the board
"That's not a weird stat. Rickie is a run-scorer," Yost said. "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter," Yost told reporters. "See, you guys have no concept. He's a run-scorer. So there's nothing weird about it. That's what he does."
Fielder now tied for 2nd in the major leagues for walks, behind...
Marco Scutaro?!
Ryan Braun: He loves it.
because no one wants to deal with Marco Scutaro
"That's not a weird stat. Rickie is a run-scorer," Yost said. "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter," Yost told reporters. "See, you guys have no concept. He's a run-scorer. So there's nothing weird about it. That's what he does."
Guzman of the Nationals
Who is leading the league at hitting at .392, has finally managed his 1st walk this season after 121AB’s.
and he is a valuable fantasy resource
"That's not a weird stat. Rickie is a run-scorer," Yost said. "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter," Yost told reporters. "See, you guys have no concept. He's a run-scorer. So there's nothing weird about it. That's what he does."
darn
we were at the game Saturday night and laughed every time he was up that his average and OBP were the same. And he is their leadoff hitter. Classic.
RIP Rickie's Breakout Season version 4
he does pay homage to the game with every 20 pitch inning
"That's not a weird stat. Rickie is a run-scorer," Yost said. "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter," Yost told reporters. "See, you guys have no concept. He's a run-scorer. So there's nothing weird about it. That's what he does."
That was a nice catch by Pujols

It would be nice to load the bases for Gamel

Didn't see Gamel the first time batting...
But yeah…he NEEDS a haircut. Almost looks like he might have rugby player!hair.
He's hitting a little bit lately.
He’d better not cut it.

I don't hate Kendall like everybody else, I'm a non-conformist like that.

Should I leave and come in again?

Mat Gamel homers (1) on a fly ball to right field. Ryan Braun scores. Prince Fielder scores. Two out.
I could get used to reading that.
Ryan Braun: He loves it.
That's sig-worthy.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
And with that
Time for a new thread.
