PrintMilwaukee Brewers at Houston Astros, May 20, 2009 7:05 PM CDT
At the end of play tonight, the Brewers will be approximately 25% of the way through the season. If I had told you the Brewers would have 25 wins at this point, would you have taken it? I certainly would have. With a win tonight, the Brewers could win or tie their eleventh straight series and retain a three game lead in the NL Central.
Tonight's game also has a great pitching matchup: Yovani Gallardo v. Wandy Rodriguez. Rodriguez is 4-2 in 2009 and has posted a 1.90 ERA in eight starts. He's 3-0 in his last four games, and has struck out ten or more batters twice this season. The Brewers have kicked him around a bit over his career: he's posted a 4.55 ERA against the Crew in 12 appearances (eleven starts). Corey Hart is 10-for-23 against him (.435/.500/.478), but has just one extra base hit. J.J. Hardy is just 5-for-17 against him, but two of those hits were home runs.
Gallardo, meanwhile, is making his first appearance since a short outing on Friday in a game that ended up being postponed. He's 4-1 with a 3.09 ERA in seven official starts, and has picked up a win in three of his last four appearances. Gallardo has never lost to the Astros, going 3-0 with a 0.75 ERA in three starts.
With a lefty on the mound for the Astros, Casey McGehee will make his second straight start at second base, and with Kendall in the lineup, McGehee moves up to #7:
RF Corey Hart
3B Bill Hall
LF Ryan Braun
1B Prince Fielder
CF Mike Cameron
SS J.J. Hardy
2B Casey McGehee
C Jason Kendall
RHP Yovani Gallardo
Here's a look at the bullpen for tonight:
Carlos Villanueva pitched one inning yesterday, and has appeared in two straight games.
Todd Coffey pitched one inning yesterday.
Trevor Hoffman pitched one inning yesterday.
Mark DiFelice has not pitched since Monday.
Mitch Stetter has not pitched since Monday
Seth McClung has not pitched since Sunday.
Jorge Julio has not pitched since last Saturday.

Wandy vs. Gallardo, I'm expecting a great pitchers' duel
Which means, of course, that in reality both starters will be chased out of the game before the fifth and it will turn into a battle between the bullpens (That works for me though)
Ryan Braun: He loves it.
The Brewer bullpen is set up pretty well for that.
I would guess all seven guys are available, and at least 3 (McClung, DiFelice, Coffey) could go multiple innings.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
But tomorrow, when Parra's on the mound
It’d be nice to have a rested bullpen.

My grandma—a diehard Cubs fan since the 1930s—sent me an email today with the subject line “Way to go!”

I hadn't had a hard cider in years before my bachelor party 2 weeks ago.

Catalanotto will report to Huntsville tomorrow.
If Catalanotto swings the bat well, he’ll probably be called up by the Brewers, who will have to decide who goes off their bench. Probably, second baseman Hernan Iribarren, who was just called up to replace injured Rickie Weeks.“He’s still got to perform,” said Melvin. “There are no promises.”
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
At present
I think the odds would suggest McGehee goes and Iribarren stays.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
I doubt it
They’re not going to go with a completely left-handed bench.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Hadn't thought of that
But I think Iribarren’s ability to play the outfield adds some value, since the team was basically working with four outfielders before his arrival.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Catalanotto is an outfielder
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Another good point.
It’s possible I started drinking too early.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
I'm looking forward to my thesis being over.
So I can enjoy Brewers games at 11:00 AM with a cold beer.
It might be simpler

Casey McGehee: "I have to remember I'm not Rickie."

Rodríguez hasn't
given up a HR so far this season including 27 innings at home. His ERA at home is 0.67 with a WHIP of 0.85. Pretty stupid sick #’s

The more I think about it

Amazing… I remember the Tribe waited an inning, to tell the umps, would it matter if they waited in this instance, or just waited for the out
The designated hitter rule is like letting someone else take Wilt Chamberlain's free throws.
I think Macha waited for the AB to be over.
If an out had been recorded, he might have let it go, and waited to mention it until Bourn got a hit for them to take away.
It’s a free out, might as well use it at the best possible time.

well, if you don't believe in regression to the mean

it's obviously good

No
It means that he’s most likely to hit like an 860 hitter from here on out vs LHP, not 1148. He doesn’t have to rack up oh-fers to accomplish that.
