Chicago White Sox at Milwaukee Brewers, Jun 13, 2009 3:05 PM CDT
Today's game is on FOX, meaning people who really, really, really wanted to see this Jose Contreras (1-5, 6.45) vs. Manny Parra (3-7, 6.86) matchup but missed the digital TV transition are out of luck. I kid about this pitching matchup, but the two other FOX games aren't much better: Brad Thompson and Tomo Ohka square off in one, while new Met Fernando Nieve takes on Andy Pettitte in the other. Should be an offensive day.
But enough about other games, what's up with this one? The Brewers ended a four-game losing streak last night with a furious sixth-inning rally by the bottom of the order followed by four more runs in the seventh. In the interests of being misleading, I feel obligated to note the Brewers had not won an interleague game in nearly a year. To try and start a winning streak, the Brewers are sending Manny Parra to the mound. Parra, whose BABIP is .357 or .349, depending on who you believe, is coming off a no-decision in Atlanta that saw him last 5 2/3 innings while giving up five runs to Chipper Jones. One thing to watch today: each of his four home starts this year has been a quality start even though he's only 1-2 in Miller Park.
Veteran righthander Jose Contreras toes the rubber for the visiting White Sox, who have now lost 9 of 12. Contreras has been a solid major league pitcher since defecting from Cuba in 2002. This year, however, the wheels fell off early. In the first month of the season, he started six games, going 0-5 with an 8.19 ERA in 29 2/3 innings. The terrible start earned him a demotion to AAA, where he put up a 2.73 ERA and 1.061 WHIP in five starts. The demotion worked for at least one game as in his first start back in the majors last Monday, he pitched eight innings of one-hit ball. Hopefully that was a one-time deal.
Lineup:
Counsell 2B
Hardy SS
Braun LF
Fielder 1B
Cameron CF
Gamel 3B
Hart RF
Kendall C
Parra P
Bullpen Rundown:
- Trevor Hoffman last pitched one week ago today in Atlanta (11 pitches).
- Mark DiFelice pitched one inning (19 pitches) last night.
- Carlos Villanueva pitched one inning (22 pitches) Thursday and has given up five runs over his last two appearances.
- Todd Coffey pitched 1 1/3 innings (29 pitches) on Thursday.
- Mitch Stetter has faced (and struck out) three batters in the last two games, throwing seven pitches each time.
- Seth McClung pitched 1 inning (8 pitches) last night.
- Chris Smith pitched 1 inning (29 pitches) on Thursday.

Assumes that everyone wants to see Mets/Yankees. Which really sucks.
At least the Twins are beating the Cubs.
Yeah when I saw Fox was carrying the game nationally I got excited
Then I went channel surfing and it’s the NY vs NY game as well here =(
even better.....
fox coverage blacks out those of us that payed to watch games

Twins up 2-0 against the Cubs in the bottom of the 8th
A Cubs loss is never a bad opening to a Brewers game, right?
Does Fox black out the games to overseas viewers who have MLB.TV?
I was just wondering I know we have a few members of BCB who do not live in North America and would have no chance of seeing the Fox Broadcast
So I am wondering if the MLB blackout policy is so stupid that it blacks out viewers in Asia and Europe
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
Would a sports bar/buffalo wild wings/etc be able to get the game?
I’m not used to mlb.tv being blacked out, it’s an odd odd world

Send him down?
He hasn’t shown any ability to consistantly hit the zone. Is it time to send Parra down? His WHIP is going to be stupid high.
On a lighter note
Somebody in one of my fantasy leagues picked up Kendall today.

the only upside to this being on fox
is i dont have to listen to that damn matt kenseth fathers day commercial twice per break
I gotta tell ya
It’s less heart breaking to hear Manny implode then having to watch it, with that horrified “Did I do that?” face he makes after each horrible, repeated, painful outing
I always think
He looks like a kid who just got yelled at for having his hand in the cookie jar

Seems like every time we are on a national broadcast, we don’t just suck… we suck BAD. We don’t even remotely entertain. Are the sports networks ticked that we give them super boring lame games?
Not excited that we have another one next Saturday

shoulda left him in there
and watch that ERA top 20. he kills me.

Seriously, 6-0
Yes we scored 7 off of them yesterday in two innings, so I know this isn’t game over necessarily, but even if this gets pulled out it’s killer on the ’Pen =(
who knows
maybe chris smith will actually be awesome and eat up a solid 5
Its possible
But the offense coming back extra strong after having to sit through that inning is what worries me, I can’t even imagine how demoralizing that has to be for a team every few games
I'm not worried long term
Just what occurs in the next week or so honestly. I still have confidence in the team, minus Parra, minus Hall as an every day player, I love that AAA has some good arms but we gotta see them actually up and I know Macha has been big on giving multiple chances but after awhile there has to be a last chance somewhere =(
Right, the season is full of ups and downs.
It was a pretty “down” point of the season last year during interleague play, ending with the Red Sox sweep. Things do turn around. I agree that Parra needs some time in AAA to work out his issues.
If you're Parra
You immediately change clothes and drive home, right?

That's an interesting point
But I would hope anyone who knew what he just did would still be watching the game as he sped home to cry and listen to emo.
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
a start like this
just takes all the energy we had after yesterday out of the club, there is no more excitement
Now the strike zone expands for Gamel
Why does he get that treatment over and over? It can’t just be a rookie thing.
Team Looks Beat
I don’t see them getting back into this one. If DM doesn’t act on Parras recent performance, then we have a problem. He’s been pretty bad since AS break of last year. I doubt the organization wants to give up on Parra, but he can’t be allowed to give up games waiting for him to figure it out.
Demotion or Pen work would be acceptable to me. McClung maybe to the rotation.
Alright, let's talk replacement
It’s Dillard’s day to pitch, but they’re not going to need a fifth starter for a while. bring up a position player for the AL? or a reliever?
Probably can get by without a 5th starter if they so choose,
but you don’t need as many position players on the bench in the AL because of less pinch-hitting opportunites. An extra reliever would be the better bet, IMO.
Yeah, that's what I gathered
But Burns needs time before he can recalled (unless you can call Manny’s situation an injury). Dillard could work out of the pen, but then it would not behoove the team to have him make a start tonight. Who else is there?
by Et tu Brewte on Jun 13, 2009 4:04 PM CDT up reply actions
Ew
Gulin has a WHIP of 1.6
Green has upside but not really much for numbers, either. I imagine you don’t want Swindle because you’d rather have a guy who can give you more than one inning. I really don’t know if there is a natural option.
by Et tu Brewte on Jun 13, 2009 4:09 PM CDT up reply actions
Are you looking at cumulative stats?
The team will look at how they are doing now and evaluate them more on how they do game by game.
McClung
he was pretty good as a replacement last year
by keephopealive on Jun 13, 2009 4:21 PM CDT up reply actions
Kendall
Am I crazy for thinking they should replace him early in this game? It’s not like defense and handling a pitching staff are needed when you’re down 6-0. If you need an emergency catcher, you have McGehee still — again, not like this game is a close one. Maybe 6-0 isn’t a big enough gap yet.
He got two hits yesterday
That probably gives him 1.5/2 weeks of free passes if the handling of Bill Hall is any indication
If Rivera played as much as Kendall
the difference in their hitting probably wouldn’t be that much. Bill Hall probably gets special treatment because of his contract. Should they just cut him? Its kind of stupid to turn him into a lump on the bench.
Hall DEFINITELY get special treatment because of that abomination of a contract

…refrain from calling players douches and dickheads? Yeah, Parra is not playing well, but he is by all accounts a good kid who is doing the best he can. Being a professional athlete, I think it is fair to criticize him or call for his demotion or whatever, but it would be nice if our fans showed a bit more class. It certainly makes this (or any site) less fun to read when you have to wade through this stuff.

We know Parra is responsible for 6 runs.
Who is responsible for the zero runs for the Brewers?
Parra was Brewers’ Player of the Month in June last year. Then sometime later Fielder beat the crap out of him in the dugout. If memory serves me, he hasn’t been the same since.
I’m guessing that Parra wouldn’t mind parting company with the Brewers organization, hooking up with another team for some rehab of some sort, and getting another shot in new surroundings.

Fielder is one scary dude and any respect others have of him is probably generated by their concern for their person safety. Just guessing….
