PrintMilwaukee Brewers at Houston Astros, May 19, 2009 7:05 PM CDT
Remember back on April 18, when the Brewers lost to the Mets and fell to 1-4 on the road? They're 10-3 on the road since. I don't think any of us saw that coming.
Tonight, they open a three game series in Houston, where they'll see Mike Hampton for the second time in 2009. When the Brewers faced Hampton on April 25, he was pitching very well, carrying a 3.12 ERA over his first three starts. Since then, however, the league has caught up to him a bit: Hampton is 1-2 with a 7.06 ERA in his last four starts, including that no decision against the Brewers on 4/25, and his ERA for the season is all the way up to 5.31. As a team, the Astros have won six of their last eight games, sweeping the Padres, taking two of three from the Rockies and one of two from the Cubs.
The Brewers will send Dave Bush to the mound tonight, carrying a 2-0 record and a 3.83 ERA. He's been a very good pitcher over his last five starts, earning both of his wins, allowing opposing batters to hit just .195/.254/.407 against him and pitching at least seven innings in four of five starts. Bush is 5-1 with a 3.50 ERA in 12 appearances (ten starts) against the Astros in his career.
Dave Bush's start also means Mike Rivera is back in the lineup, and a lefty starter for the Astros means Casey McGehee gets his first start at second base.
Corey Hart RF
Bill Hall 3B
Ryan Braun LF
Prince Fielder 1B
Mike Cameron CF
J.J. Hardy SS
Mike Rivera C
Casey McGehee 2B
Dave Bush RHP
And in the bullpen:
Carlos Villanueva pitched two innings yesterday.
Mark DiFelice pitched .2 innings yesterday..
Mitch Stetter faced one batter yesterday.
Todd Coffey has not pitched since Sunday.
Seth McClung has not pitched since Sunday.
Trevor Hoffman has not pitched since Saturday.
Jorge Julio has not pitched since last Saturday.
Tuesday's Game Thread is now open.

Feels like Bush hasn't pitches in weeks.
With the offday and all.
KL, I know I said it before
But I really appreciate the bullpen rundown in the gamethreads. :)

question that has nothing to do with this game
has anyone heard anything about cappy?? Always was a fan of his and I am cheering for him to make a comeback.
Someone asked this fairly recently
And I believe the answer was that he’d had a bit of a setback and was not going to start pitching until sometime this month, but don’t quote me on it.

I guess people
are just showing some genuine Cappy Concern. Either that, or Cappy Confusion.

I hate Crappy
"He had some firsts," said Brewers manager Ken Macha. "His first homer, his first Major League start, his first error and my first gray hair."
because
he sucks, people make excuses for his suckiness, and he went to Duke.
"He had some firsts," said Brewers manager Ken Macha. "His first homer, his first Major League start, his first error and my first gray hair."
He signed my Scotty Po Jersey outside of Wrigley Field
Seemed decent enough for the 30 seconds we interacted.
Let me spell it for you Cub fans O N E H U N D R E D A N D O N E Y E A R S
Any longer and he'd have sucked you dry
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Lucky for me he was in a hurry

Scott Posednik jersey signed by Cappy.
If it has some of Turnbows hair on it it is a true Voltron of suck.

I knew there was a reason I didn’t do well in school, could never pay attention
Maybe you need to add it to the bullpen rundown
Julio hasn’t pitched since Saturday.
Capuano won’t go on a rehab until June.
Also, cheese.

Had a setback, still hasn't resumed throwing
Was hoping to start throwing again in May.

As promised

I hope the Brewers take 2/3
Tonight more of a toss up- with an edge of Bush over Hampton… hopefully win with our ace tomorrow, although Wally has been pitching well, and Oswalt should take care of Suppan on Thursday… you never know though
The designated hitter rule is like letting someone else take Wilt Chamberlain's free throws.
we need to get to the bullpen
in all of these games, if possible. valverde and brocail are out, and latroy is battling a hip injury. i’m not sure he’s going to be available. after him, i think things are fairly spotty.
a for wandy, he’s been lights out (whip 1.00, era 1.90). yovani’s control has looked a bit spotty to me, so i’m actually pretty nervous about that one. i feel better about the suppan-oswalt matchup!
by Capt Science on May 19, 2009 7:02 PM CDT up reply actions
Wandy vs. Gallardo should be a good game
I’d say Rodriguez is the best pitcher on the Astros, and he’s having a pretty impressive breakout season so far.
Ryan Braun: He loves it.
Gameday Audio
So I’m not at a TV, doing some last minute finals studying. I’m debating paying the $20 for gameday premium which comes with the bonus of being able to see stats and highlights and stuff. Or I could get MLB audio for my cellphone. I tried the cellphone audio a couple years ago and I remember it had a decent delay to it. Is gameday’s audio pretty well synced with Gameday and has anyone tried the Cellular program and noticed improvements?
I have the iphone app, with the audio
And am very impressed, it is not more than 5 or 7 seconds delayed in my experience of listening on the radio in the car compared to my phone
The designated hitter rule is like letting someone else take Wilt Chamberlain's free throws.
Well
Iphone might be different than us lesser people. Iphone has its own gameday program, while other phones just use wap.mlb.com
gotcha
dont know the delay for wap.mlb.com , but i think it is worth it, because no matter the delay as long as it is not over 5 minutes you get to hear the game if you aren’t at the computer
The designated hitter rule is like letting someone else take Wilt Chamberlain's free throws.
only downside is it drains your battery life
I think $20 for the premium is worth it when you are on your computer, and when you are traveling and in having to do things and cant be on a computer use the phone app, it may cost $30, but over the course of a season, well well worth it
The designated hitter rule is like letting someone else take Wilt Chamberlain's free throws.
I actually bought a secondary battery as a back up
I do love the MLB App but it is a battery whore
Let me spell it for you Cub fans O N E H U N D R E D A N D O N E Y E A R S
I have 3 actually
My phone came with 2, bought another for like 7 bucks on Ebay. The phone also came with a stand alone battery charger so I can charge one while I still have my phone.
Usually I can make it though the day on a full charge and one back up.
But I like how you think you can never be to prepared
Let me spell it for you Cub fans O N E H U N D R E D A N D O N E Y E A R S
plus, in a couple of years
you might not be able to find that battery model anymore.

I have both.
Gameday premium is great, the audio is never more than a pitch off from the audio.
The iPhone app is fantastic, and is incredible for the car or walking around, but if I’m sitting at my computer having gameday premium is much nicer. (Even at low bitrates the game sounds great through my studio monitors.)
Interview with kendall
They just played an interview with kendall and he actaully seems like a pretty cool guy. What I mean is when you watch him play he doesn’t seem like he has much of a personallity. It also sounded like he wants to play baseball for quite awhile longer. Rock asked him if he had his sight on catching 400 some odd games to get the most ever and he said yes
The most important thing I learned from that interview
“Jason Kendall is a baseball player”
battlekow: Bill is having an oppo-gasm
Corey is maximizing his head's apparent size
He looks like a creepy baby. Dig the leadoff-man socks though.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Probably wouldn't look so creepy if he hadn't shaved his face AND his hair.
Still could probably be a dead ringer for Shrek, though, with a little work.
didn't he lead off in Pittsburgh way back in the day
Or was it Oakland I know he has lead off
Let me spell it for you Cub fans O N E H U N D R E D A N D O N E Y E A R S
Primarily in the 2-spot for both, I think
though he had more speed back then.
by MillerParkSouth on May 19, 2009 7:11 PM CDT up reply actions
pretty sure
back when he was an all-star with the pirates, i think he did lead off. he also used to steal bases, but i think grit weighs you down after a while.
by Capt Science on May 19, 2009 7:12 PM CDT up reply actions
Over his career, he's hit leadoff more than any other spot in the order
Though that was back when his average was about 100 points higher…
Ryan Braun: He loves it.
He's led off 455 times
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
if kendall hits leadoff
down would turn into up, magnetic poles would realign, cats and dogs would play together
My dog and cat aren't playing together, but they are laying next to each other
Maybe that’s a sign that he’ll hit 9th.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Billy hits his lefties
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Braun's first GIDP this year
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Hey guys
First post on the site here, just wondering if anyone could direct me to a link of the audio or video of the game?
i just have the extra innings package
so i watch on tv.
otherwise i’d go to mlb.com, they have subscription packages for audio and video.
a coworker of mine watches rockets games on a free feed from china, but i’m not sure any of our players are big over there, so i’m not aware of any freebies.

Mcgehee
forsure, he can’t just walk by him without tagging him
Oops, Macha made a mistake
Turns out McGehee has never actually played 2B before.
Ryan Braun: He loves it.
He actually has barely played there
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
16 total chances there in the last four years

true
but he can only play one position at a time.
"He had some firsts," said Brewers manager Ken Macha. "His first homer, his first Major League start, his first error and my first gray hair."
A Rivera start is such a rare occurence, my brain failed to process it
Like those ridiculous myths about the Native Americans who couldn’t see European ships.
Ryan Braun: He loves it.
understandable
"He had some firsts," said Brewers manager Ken Macha. "His first homer, his first Major League start, his first error and my first gray hair."
holy cow!
i didn’t realize how little it was! he has 1 major league game there (i think) and 7 career minor league games?!?!?

At least it was only one run
Hopefully that’s the end of the hijinks.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Feels good to only give up the 1 run there
Hopefully the defensive play from the 2nd half of last night is at an end now.
Damn
that was an ugly inning
"He had some firsts," said Brewers manager Ken Macha. "His first homer, his first Major League start, his first error and my first gray hair."
Bourn got picked off first and the Brewers still managed to fail to tag him out
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Bourn should of been picked off 1st
But the Crew made a mess of the run-down and Matsui scored from 3rd
Corey's outfield play today has been truly inspired
