PrintMilwaukee Brewers at Miami Marlins, Jun 1, 2009 6:10 PM CDT
And with that, the Brewers are back on the road.
For the Brewers, Jeff Suppan will try not to suck. He's 3-4 with a 5.23 ERA in ten starts, and was out of his last start early, allowing five earned runs on three home runs in 3.2 innings. He's allowed five home runs in his last 8.2 innings, and thirteen on the season.
For the Marlins, it's Andrew Miller (1-2, 4.55). He's making his eighth appearance (and sixth start) on the season. He's been pitching much better lately, allowing a 3.00 ERA over his last three starts. The Brewers don't have a single batter that's faced him before, so he could have the element of surprise.
State of the Bullpen:
Mark DiFelice pitched one inning yesterday.
Trevor Hoffman pitched one inning yesterday.
Mitch Stetter pitched one inning yesterday.
Seth McClung pitched 3 innings Saturday.
Carlos Villanueva pitched 1.1 innings Saturday.
Todd Coffey has not pitched since Friday.
Jorge Julio has not pitched since Tuesday.
Monday's Game Thread is now open.

McGehee
Despite Macha’s leaning his way for the leadoff spot, it’s Hart tonight:
Hart RF
Hall 3B
Braun LF
Fielder 1B
Cameron CF
Hardy SS
McGehee 2B
Kendall C
Suppan P
Feast or famine atop the lineup.

or even mcghee…..why is billy batting so high? I know he hits lefties, but…..

Just been looking at the standings in the NL East
and jeez the Nationals are really bad – currantly on track for a 43win season. It must be sometime since a team won so few games.
I had forgotten about that team
Apart from the ’03 Tigers you have to go back to the 1962 Mets to find a worse team (40-120).
You know we're doing well
when Julio hasn’t pitched in 6 days.

They’re not a bad team, always seem competitive…and I’ve been to the stadium and it’s a pretty good place to watch a game. I really don’t get why the Marlins don’t draw.

I remember when I went to a game there:
There were about 10,000 people there, but this one girl in front of us had a different sign for every one of the Marlins players. It was hilarious. At least they have one hardcore fan out there.

given the size of the crowd:
(1) i’m shocked someone was in front of you;
(2) i guess she had plenty of storage space for her signs;
(3) how many season tickets do they sell? i imagine most of the attendance is paid no-shows. why would then even pay when it seems pretty obvious walk-ups are easy to get? or is this all just because it’s now rainy/ hurricane season? does attendance spike in spring/ fall?
My guess...
Is that everyone leaves Miami in the summer. She had PLENTY of room for sign storage…I was there in September, so that may have been a more robust day for attendance.
It still wasn’t as sad as my visits to Tropicana Field pre-Longoria…

Fun Fact
The Brewers have only been shut out once this year (back on Apr 18 @ NYM). I don’t know how unusual that is, but it seems pretty good to me. Is it?
Ryan Braun: He loves it.
Not really the type of answer you are looking for
But here’s a list of the longest streaks between shutouts. The 2000 Reds went all of one calendar season but the 78-79 Brewers have the longest streak since 1954 with over 200 games.

mike and mike in the morning
on espn brought up an interesting stat – since divisional play began, 64% of teams leading their division at the end of may make it into the playoffs (i think this is an aggregated stat). that’s roughly 2/3rds, so they went through the 6 divisions and picked 2 teams that they thought would not make the playoffs. golic guessed milwaukee and detroit. greenberg guessed milwaukee and the phillies (i think). both are hatin’. thoughts?
to clarify
by “divisional play”, i really meant since the playoffs expanded to have a wildcard/ divisional round.

Chicago is in the same division as the Brewers, and since it is ESPN, they’re obviously going to favor them.

"grit and glam recreated"
Fabulous Kendall?

Don't think anything beats Plan 9
Manos IS close, though. Only reason I got through it was because it was a movie on MST3K.
plan 9 is great
especially while drunk.

Did anyone get chased by wind in The Knowing? Or cold?

Touche'.
When he did Leaving Las Vegas years ago now, I wished I could go up on screen and hold the bottle of vodka for him. “Just a little more Nick, and it’ll all be over!”

Oh god...
… I had repressed memories of that film.

Was it the one
with Brit Ekland?

You should try the original
It’s creepier. Also, if you have 45 minutes to blow, you could watch this and laugh pretty hard.

Why not?
At work with two pc’s one playing the brewers and one playing another video… I love my job.

Ah the power of a Nicholas Cage performance...

the last castle
robert redford, james gandolfini, and a terrible script. i think that film actually caused oedipus to gauge out his eyes.
Marlins fans would feel about Andrew Miller like we do about Manny Parra
If they existed.

Who you gonna call?
MAROONE!
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Run big fella!
"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."
Fielder was faster that time
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
He's right-handed and not very good?
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Yeah, two frequent recipients of "Why doesn't he play more?" campaigns

I get why Suppan gets the ball every 5 days.
And I’m not talking about his contract. Aside from 2006 and experience, I don’t have a reason to play Hall over McGehee. But maybe that’s enough.
by Ted Simmons Speed Camp on Jun 1, 2009 8:05 PM CDT up reply actions
McGehee should never play third when Gamel is on the mlb roster
Gamel can hold his own against lefties. If it comes to Hall sucking against them, too, that’s the option to go to. I’d be okay with a straight platoon, though. Someone suggested that back in February, I forget who :).
Scored three times and detonated an indisputable in four visits to the batting box.
Yeah.
I was trying to leave Gamel out of it. I bought a Gamel shirt yesterday, and my wife is still mocking me for it.

I think
‘not very good’ is a bit harsh…he’s been solid all year, from winter league on and his career minor league numbers are solid also, if I remember right.
His career minor league numbers are not solid
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Volquez just left his start
He was only activated off the DL today.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
I was in the Reds game thread confirming that it was indeed Chris Dickerson in that picture
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Where am I?!? Who are you people?!?
I must’ve blacked out from the Remetee website exposure.
I don't hate Kendall like everybody else, I'm a non-conformist like that.

What R U thinking ?
3 pitches and you couldn’t tell ? Coach you left him in for what? 5 or 6 BATTERS..left with bases loaded and NO OUTS ! You have looked at his track record haven’t you ? Heck even those fish threw him back….nothing like taking the wind out of the BREWERS sails like the poor decisions that put the team in a tail spin a week plus earlier, Now I know it takes a little time for the both of you to figure what you each want and need, but one/third of the season and your still pulling stuff like this….come on coach isn’t it enough that you must of said something after the cardinal game (from the red-bird quote) that the team looks like it’s just not having fun.. Oh Yeah, one more thing, put the PRINCE back on real food…He looks like hes gotten bigger and can’t bend over anymore ( by the errors in fielding ) AND HE REALLY DOESN’T LOOK HAPPY.can be said about 80% of the team…
Dude.
Chill out. It’s one game.
