Milwaukee Brewers at Cincinnati Reds, May 7, 2009 6:10 PM CDT
On May 7, the 2008 Brewers were 16-17. No matter what the Brewers do today, they'll finish the day better than that, and they've also clinched their second winning road trip of the season, with three wins against the Pirates and Reds. The 2008 Brewers didn't win their second multi-city road trip until July 18-24.
Braden Looper takes the mound tonight for the Brewers. He's 2-1 with a 3.10 ERA so far this season, and beat the Reds for his first Brewer win on April 15. The Brewers are 4-1 in his starts this season.
For the Reds, Micah Owings gets the start. He's making his fifth start and has factored in the decision in each of them, going 1-3. He started opposite Looper and took the loss on April 15. Mike Cameron took Owings deep twice in that game. Owings, though, won his only start at home this season.
Bill Hall is back in the lineup today, via the JS:
2B Rickie Weeks
RF Corey Hart
LF Ryan Braun
1B Prince Fielder
CF Mike Cameron
SS JJ Hardy
3B Bill Hall
C Jason Kendall
RHP Braden Looper
Thursday's Game Thread is now open.

"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!"
Owings should've batted last night

I hope that me watching the game tonight doesn't jinx us
Then again, we wasted their bullpen last night, so I’m not so worried.

No Votto for the Reds tonight
Instead they are trying the 2 catcher line-up instead.
W. Taveras cf
J. Hairston Jr. 2b
J. Bruce rf
R. Hernandez 1b
L. Nix lf
A. Rosales 3b
R. Hanigan c
P. Janish ss
M. Owings p
No Phillips either?
Wow. That’s an, uh, interesting lineup.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Apparently Votto and Phillips are sick
With Sea Bass injured, they have two players available off the bench: Chris Dickerson and Darnell McDonald. Yeah.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
And Owings is in the starting lineup
How unfortunate.
It’s Hernandez’s second career start at first base.

What's strange to me is that Dusty will use Owings as a PH but won't bat him anywhere other than 9th, even with that joke of a lineup
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
I wouldn't bat Hernandez 4th, that's for sure
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
If this was game one of a four game series
Votto and Phillips would play and be encouraged to shake hands with every Brewer they passed.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Lets be honest with line-up the Reds are playing tonight.
Going through each posititon the only player that we might swap straight up is Bruce for Hart and that is probably even.
Hit 'em to short
Test Janish’s arm early.

no...

I ordered six in a cone once

i may have been there
but i was a sundae maker most of my kopps career. near the end I was one of the elite custard maker people.
I was one of only two non-managers that could do both grill, sundaes, and scoop/register at the time. The employees there weren’t all that interested in learning new skills.
Weren't interested

Owings reminds me of something that has always puzzled me about baseball
Over here the sport that requires the most similar skill set is cricket.
Almost every team has atleast one player who could play either as a batsman(hitter) or as a bowler(pitcher). Yet in baseball you hardly ever see a pitcher who could of made the team as a hitter. Nor do see a posititon player who is used as a starting pitcher. why is this? I know that you probably find alot players like this at lower levels so why do they not continue with this once they get to professional level?
Basically what I suppose i’m trying to say is why is there not more players like Owings or Brooks Kieschnick?
Being potentially excellent in one facet is more beneficial than being decent in 2 facets

RIP Nick Adenhart: Stop Drunk Driving
I'm just hoping
that Braun didn’t screw up his back with the way that he fell
"If lovin’ Braun is wrong, I want to be a repeat offender!"

Damn it
Too bad Dusty doesn’t have the option of not letting Owings hit at all…
Ryan Braun: He loves it.
Macha doesn't bark hard enough
I don't hate Kendall like everybody else, I'm a non-conformist like that.

Gorman barks hard enough for both of them.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Then get Gorman in the damn dugout

The way Owings clattered into third
Holding the tag on him might’ve led to an out
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
The umpire rotated there
Effortlessly.

Oh come on
Looper fail. This is ugly.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Get him out of there.
This is ugly

We're warming someone up now, yes?
C’mon Macha, learn how to yell or get someone else in there
"If lovin’ Braun is wrong, I want to be a repeat offender!"
RIP Nick Adenhart: Stop Drunk Driving
Bout frickin' time

Looper
Finally bounced one past Kendall. You can only throw it 58 feet so much.

Haha
Macha called Castro back. “I’ll handle this one, Bill.”
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Perfect night for Son of Clung to pitch
"If lovin’ Braun is wrong, I want to be a repeat offender!"

Imagine how many runs Looper would have given up by now if he was facing a real team
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Looper's spot up second next inning
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
I don't think it will be his spot anymore by that point
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Indeed
Hall/Looper out, Counsell/Bigseth in.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Craiggers and the Big Ginger!
I'm Jim Sensenbrenner, damnit!

Question
Have we done anything with the “Macharena” pun yet?
Haha, not quite
But definitely needs to be done
"If lovin’ Braun is wrong, I want to be a repeat offender!"
RIP Nick Adenhart: Stop Drunk Driving
Maybe I'm stupid
But I don’t get the point of this double switch
Exactly

So McClung can pitch more than one inning
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
The Reds did it for him
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Time to evacuate
Please proceed in an orderly fashion to the new thread.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
