PrintSt. Louis Cardinals at Milwaukee Brewers, May 27, 2009 12:05 PM CDT
Ok, so Jeff Suppan couldn't beat Adam Wainwright twice in a row. We probably should have seen that coming. Today, though, the Brewers have a chance to take two of three from the Cardinals (five of six on the season), and take back sole posession of first place headed into tomorrow's off day.
To do it, they'll have to beat Todd Wellemeyer, who is 4-4 with a 5.19 ERA in 2009. He was wild in his last meeting with the Brewers, walking seven in 5.2 innings of work. All told, he's walked 13 batters in his last 16 innings, but did shut the Royals out for six innings on Friday. He's picked up the decision in each of his last six starts, going 3-3.
Manny Parra will take the mound for the Brewers. He's 3-5 with a 5.79 ERA in 2009, and had his worst outing of the year on Friday, allowing nine runs (eight earned) in just 3.1 innings against the Twins. Prior to that, though, he beat Wellemeyer on May 17, and had won his last three starts.
J.J. Hardy returns to the lineup today, and so does Ryan Braun, less than 24 hours after from being removed from last night's game after being hit on the wrist. With Hardy back, Casey McGehee takes a seat today and Craig Counsell moves to second for his seventh consecutive start. Corey Hart is also getting a day off in right:
Craig Counsell 2B
J.J Hardy SS
Ryan Braun, LF
Prince Fielder, 1B
Mike Cameron CF
Frank Catalanotto RF
Mat Gamel 3B
Jason Kendall C
Manny Parra LHP
(h/t Adam McCalvy)
The bullpen took a bit of a beating last night, but everyone (with the possible exception of Seth McClung) should be available today with the off day tomorrow:
Seth McClung pitched 2.1 innings yesterday.
Mark DiFelice pitched one inning yesterday.
Jorge Julio pitched one inning yesterday.
Todd Coffey pitched .2 innings yesterday.
Mitch Stetter faced three batters yesterday.
Carlos Villanueva has not pitched since Monday.
Trevor Hoffman has not pitched since Monday.
Wednesday's Game Thread is now open.

That picture
looks like Hardy just hauled off and decked that guy for no good reason.
Suppan, who has seen his ERA rise from 4.12 in his final year in St. Louis to 4.62 in 2007 and 4.96 last year, isn't an option in fantasy leagues - Rotoworld

Actually, there's a medical reason behind it
It’s the equivalent of your computer freezing for no apparent reason.
If you want to get rid of the song, you’re supposed to:
a): sing/hum the song from beginning to end, or
b): do some math. (Not east stuff you’ve already memorized, but stuff you don’t already know the answer to.)

wouldn't have been meaningless
except for the grandslam that immediately preceded it that may not have happened had the ball been ruled foul.
then again, maybe the pitcher wouldn’t have given prince anything to hit in the situation where cards had a 1 run lead.

We worked together
I’ve been untucking my shirt after my shift ended for years, when the Brewers doing so as well started making news it was just more fuel to the fire of anger she had towards my choice of teams….
Best part was that she hadn’t watched a game in years and got updates twice a month on how the team was doing from friends in St. Louis apparently =(
Those cards
they have such an attentive fan base.
"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's how i found out about the crew
before I discovered this wonderful blog (well, and cbssportsline for a while before that). Really, in the years they sucked, what was the point in knowing precisely how they were doing?

Can he work out his control problems in Nashville?
It would be nice if Parra could learn to throw strikes in AAA where it doesn’t matter. He’s going to beat up the bullpen if he’s only going to go 5 innings with each start.
Hardy's in the lineup?
didn’t notice that until now. Why not mcgehee instead of CC, awesome play in the last inning notwithstanding (well…also DP-fail notwithstanding)

Right.
Agreed, the bar is set very low. And given what’s been near that bar, I’d rather not touch it.

the publisher put it out
no new laws were passed. no one was prosecuted on existing laws. They sold zillions of copies. I think they did OK.

Catman!
Almost turned a very nice double into an out at third.

BIG CAT sighting!

That's a weeks' worth of offense
for Corey lately. At least, it seems that way.

Jeff Suppan: Captain Bok, that is a great question. Does "Bok" mean Book of Knowledge? My favorite thing about Milwaukee are the Brewers.

Ueck wondering about the possibilities of chorizo w/ kraut.
If you have a chorizo, you don’t need to ruin it by putting anything on it.

maybe some jalapenos?

Maybe not all chorizo is created equal.
But, based on my experience, if you need to add something spicy to a chorizo, you’ve got some pretty impressive tolerance.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
I enjoy some salsa on a chorizo
You can get some really good chorizo in Chicago.

FS MW with a pic of someone with a tent pitched on the grass just outside Miller Park.
Since when do they allow camping there?

Marty doesn't seem to be around, so I'll make the point.
Mike Rivera caught a perfect game once.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
have they tried that yet at the big league level?
like on a sunday afternoon get-away game last year?

Two on for Braun.
Who hasn’t homered since May 9.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
damn it just went through all the trouble to look that up and you beat me too it lol
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
time for a Pags-gut-feeling-that-is-likely-wrong
seems to me that in 2007 and 2008, Braun had a much higher homer percentage when no one was on.
by PagsBrewCrew on May 27, 2009 1:33 PM CDT up reply actions
Maybe he could have used the day off
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
I wonder if the Intercostal of doom is acting up again?

Braun is not right
Just does not seem Brauny lately

Missing Rickie
What’s the Island without Gilligan on it? The whole team is the Skipper missing their little Buddy
Ok folks, it's about that time
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Bunt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
why is Macha afraid to bunt?
Your answer:
When I asked Macha why he didn’t bunt with Gerut, he made it seem as if he didn’t think Gerut could get a bunt down. A bit strange, and more than a bit disappointing for a newly acquired backup outfielder.“In my assessment of watching Jody out there (in batting practice), I felt more comfortable with him swinging the bat there.”
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Too bad last year's designated bunter was already out of the game

Suppan
You remember him pinch-bunting last year when the team had 13 (14?) pitchers.
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
he's a good one to use
if he gets HBP on his pitching hand, no loss.
