PrintCincinnati Reds at Milwaukee Brewers, May 30, 2009 6:05 PM CDT
It's Dave Bush vs. the Harang-utan tonight.
The big news since yesterday is that Joey Votto was put on the DL after he was forced to exit last night's game due to continued dizziness. He was officially disabled with what was termed "stress-related issues", but as the good people at Red Reporter pointed out, inner ear problems can directly cause anxiety and stress, to the point of provoking panic attacks.
Tom H sez that when you're not hitting--and undoubtedly, the Brewers are not--you need good pitching, and Dave Bush looks to return to his good-pitching ways after just his second non-quality start of the year last time out in Minnesota. In that game, Bush walked four men, over a quarter of his season total. With Votto gone and Brandon Phillips still battling a thumb injury, the Reds do not exactly have a fearsome lineup; if Bush can limit baserunners, a few Jay Bruce solo shots shouldn't prevent a Brewers victory, as long as the extra-base hits yesterday by Prince Fielder and Ryan Braun portend a Brewers offense awakening from its ten-day slumber.
The lineups:
BREWERS
2B Craig Counsell
SS J.J. Hardy
LF Ryan Braun
1B Prince Fielder
CF Mike Cameron
RF Corey Hart
3B Bill Hall
C Mike Rivera
RHP Dave Bush
REDS
CF Chris Dickerson
3B Jerry Hairston Jr.
RF Jay Bruce
2B Brandon Phillips
LF Laynce Nix
1B Ramon Hernandez
SS Alex Gonzalez
C Ryan Hanigan
RHP Aaron Harang
Tom's take on Hall starting:
Bill Hall is back at third base tonight for the Brewers and there's a solid statistical reason for that move. Hall is batting .365 with three career homers against Cincy starter Aaron Harang.This specific "But Hall hits this righty well, I swear!" argument is less specious that most, because Hall has faced Harang more than any other pitcher (though he's actually batting .364, not .365; his full line is an impressive .364/.417/.727), but I'd still rather see Gamel out there.
Go Brewers!

One stat of note:
For those of you who love the longball: Harang has allowed one in six straight starts, and Dave Bush has allowed (at least) one in five straight.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Six straight for Bush now.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."

Now they're both out of the way early.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Both streaks continued in the first inning.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Okay, ladies and germs
I’m off to the game. I had a weird dream last night that Brewers were beating the Reds badly and a brawl ensued after a Corey Hart double. Once the fracas calmed, the next batter singled sharply left, and the Reds left fielder intentionally threw the ball at Hart. Hart, rather than fighting, began jogging laps around Miller Park, high-fiving all the fans. I really hope it was a premonition.

Haha, Laynce Nix trying to mix it up with Corey Hart

Did you mean he'd hit one, or allow one?
Or both?

Lineup
Gameday has Dickerson leading off and playing CF for Cincinnati and they also don’t list two 2B, so I went ahead and changed the lineup in the post.

Huh.
It appears I missed a lot of whining, hissyfit throwing, and other nonsense when I took last night off.
Which is strange because a lot of the debate surrounded topics clearly covered in the Game Thread Guidelines, which established the following:
-Post pictures as you see fit, but please do so in moderation, because they slow down the thread for everyone. Links to pictures do not.
-If you post a picture, give it a title so people can collapse it if they’re reading the thread at work or simply don’t want it.
-If people are offended by material you’re posting, stop it.
For everyone reading this, please do your best to keep the Game Threads friendly for everyone. I’m already somewhat worn out with wedding planning, house buying and whatnot, so don’t be surprised if I shoot first and ask questions later if something like last night erupts again tonight.

I too have no problem with Hall starting against the Reds
"Cubs fans boo again – 99% of these people can’t see the plate." -Ueck
Well, there is some hope.
This is the first start after Harang’s rain delay adventure, where Dusty Baker allowed him to come back after a 2 hour rain delay.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Assuming Jeff Suppan, Bronson Arroyo and Jamie Moyer don't allow home runs today
Bush’s 13 home runs allowed are now second in the National League, behind only Brett Myers (17).
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Seems unlikely, anyway.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
CC with a nice start.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Now would be a good time for Harang's HR allowed
The record for most starts in a row with exactly one HR allowed is 9.

Well, I'm hoping the Brewers will break that streak tonight,
By hitting about seven of them.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."

He hasn’t been hitting well, and it doesn’t seem like he ever runs out grounders. Could his ribs be hurting still?

Well, if you read TheJay's post from earlier today
You know Ruben Quevedo had one outing in his Brewer career where he did not suck, but got a no decision anyway.
That’s why he decided being good was too much work and went back to the buffet line.

With Dusty Baker in the dugout and Harang on the mound
Harang’s pitch count might be 130-140.
Even with 93 his last time out, Harang has averaged 107 pitches in his last five starts. Bush averaged about 95.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
I thought Baker's rule was...
…. they pitch until he hears an audible snap coming from the general direction of the pitcher’s mound.

From what I'm hearing
Gameday calls a lot of pitches fastballs that actually are not.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Gameday pitch location
is all electronically determined.
by Nicole Haase on May 30, 2009 7:10 PM CDT up reply actions
Right
But pitch type? What I’m hearing is that a lof of other stuff (sliders, cutters, etc) gets labeled a fastball when it’s not.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
You know - I'm not sure
But I know that the person keying the game into the system doesn’t do anything with pitches. There’s a bible of key codes for every play – of which you start to memorize the more common ones.
That’s why on an unusual play, it can take awhile to get inserted on Gameday.
by Nicole Haase on May 30, 2009 7:13 PM CDT up reply actions
They're frequently off on changes/sliders/curves/splits, but usually they get fastballs right
That’s the same classifications they put with the pitch f/x data (pfx data is just all of the gameday stuff in a file). It’s not too hard to tell, though, the break is going to be similar if they’re all fastballs
Scored three times and detonated an indisputable in four visits to the batting box.
Yeah, I never know what to trust on gameday.
For what it’s worth, it measured the speeds all between 92-94 MPH, so in a loose sense they were all “fast balls”.

It’s been a while since we’ve had a back-and-forth slugfest.

Did Hart look out to anyone else?

He didn't hit the plate until his right knee slid across...
… and it sure looked like he got tagged in the back before that.

Nah
Catcher’s foot wasn’t on the plate and the tag was late

made it impossible for the ump to see

I like how Hart barely looked like he was running there..

Wow Hart is fast
Did Hart run out of his clothes? Uecker said he was “streaking around third”

Looked like he was jogging

And Rivera adds to the parade

remind me again why we play Kendall at all?
B/C Rivera just extended his BA over Kendall’s OBP…

Remember the first inning?
I was wondering if I should go rent a movie and lamenting that every time we plan on staying in and making dinner and watching the game, the game goes down the crapper (Twins series)
Hooray for turned around games?
I thought I was paying attention
But I just looked and realized the Brewers got 12 hits off Aaron Harang.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Yeah
the win against Cueto and now 12 hits on Harang – nice outings on good pitchers
by Nicole Haase on May 30, 2009 8:08 PM CDT up reply actions
Whoa
Batted around in the inning…nice!

Ok folks
Time to transition to the new game thread.
