PrintMilwaukee Brewers at Miami Marlins, Jun 3, 2009 6:10 PM CDT
Braden Looper (5-3, 4.24) takes the mound tonight for the Crew. He spent five seasons as a Marlin back around the turn of the millenium. He was a reliever then and wound up saving 46 games for the team. He even picked up a World Series win back in 2003. This will be his third start and 203rd appearance overall in Dolphin Land Shark Stadium. Looper had an effective start against the Reds his last time out, giving up two hits and two runs in seven innings on only 95 pitches. Ken Macha no doubt wants to see similar efficiency tonight.
Another member of the Florida Marlins' should-be-barnstorming basketball team, 6'8" lefthander Sean West (0-0, 2.25) is making his third career start. West was the 44th pick of the 2005 draft and cruised through the minors despite missing the 2007 due to a shoulder injury. He has yet to win or lose in the majors, despite giving up only 3 runs over 12 innings. He's issued five free passes to go along with seven strikeouts. Pretty good start for a kid who hadn't pitched above AA before debuting eleven days ago. Of course, you expect that sort of beginning from the 44th overall pick in the draft.
Mike Cameron and Corey Hart are back in the lineup tonight while Craig Counsell tries to remember what it's like not to start two out of three games:
Corey Hart RF
Casey McGehee 2B
Ryan Braun LF
Prince Fielder 1B
Mike Cameron CF
JJ Hardy SS
Bill Hall 3B
Jason Kendall C
Braden Looper P
Mike Burns saved the rest of the bullpen last night by pitching four innings:
Mark DiFelice has not pitched since Sunday but was hoping to resume throwing today. I don't know if he did.
Carlos Villanueva pitched one inning Monday.
Seth McClung pitched one inning Monday after throwing three on Saturday.
Todd Coffey pitched one inning Monday.
Trevor Hoffman has not pitched since Sunday.
Mitch Stetter has not pitched since Sunday.
Mike Burns threw four innings last night.
This game thread is officially open with minutes to spare.

Figured we needed this up
Even if there’s not much info in it at the moment.

Sorry
I had to be somewhere at 5:30, and I realized that no one put up a gamethread when I turned on my computer at 5:17. I put in the title and then ran out the door at about 5:22. That’s weird that it put my name up at the top. Thanks for stepping in. Tomorrow is my last day of school so we’ll be good from here on out :).
Scored three times and detonated an indisputable in four visits to the batting box.

Even though it’s got Jordan’s name on it, I wrote it so make fun of me for any obvious mistakes.

blooper seems to be placing his pitches well

So I just wrote a limeric about Bill Hall
You guys can be brutal, I’m not an English major.
There once was a man named Bill Hall,
Who just could not hit a baseball.
Macha said “Lefties?
Hall hits ’em with ease!”
But not West from Double A ball.

i think
thats just about the most creative thing i’ve ever seen in a game thread
in the poetic spirit
heres a fun haiku
bill hall really sucks
he can’t hit righties or left
nashville is calling
how about free verse
bill hall, how do i dislike thee
sometimes i think you swing just to prove to yourself you cant hit
then you always look surprised
at what?
the strikeout? the sky? the fact that you continue to play?
you would be better as a remetee model, permanently
at least then no one would care if you sucked
or a more organized free verse?
bill hall
b is for the balls you continue to swing at
i is for illness of ours
l is for loser, and lefties, and
l obs
h is for halfway to stars
a is for all the money we’ve spent
l is for limping to dugouts
l is for lies, and like other teams say
’we’re sure glad he’s their man, not ours’
wow...the BCB Bill Hall poetry slam

Bill Hall
Swings and misses
And lashes at the bat
It’s funny, he never realized his hands were the wreck
So, he moans and groans
And cries the night away
Wondering when he’ll hit lefties the same
In a ball game again.

Any reason to limit this to Hall?
There once was a guy named Suppan,
Who other teams would beat up on.
He signed the contract
We must honor the pact

i would agree
nice use of the english language
Woah
If it’s possible, the Pirates got worse. They traded away Nate McLouth.
To the Braves. Just in time for a series with the Brewers. Awesome.
How far will this one fly?
i think we should write a book of poems
we can call it ‘ANGUISH: the life and times of billy’
HI EVERYBODY!
I bring good news, for Jordan anyway:
Brewers GM Doug Melvin said there has been no talk of sending LHP Manny Parra (3-7, 6.75) to the minors to get squared away.From Tom H’s Twitter.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
i thought the irony
was in the ‘to get squared away’ part. wouldnt they send him down to demote him and forget him?
Oh Billy.

So Andrew McCutchen is getting called up to replace McLouth in Pittsburgh
The Pirates got Gorkys Hernandez, Jeff Locke, and Charlie Morton back from the Braves. Seems like a good deal for Atlanta at first blush.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
McLouth's salaries
10:$4.5M, 11:$6.5M, 12:$10.65M club option ($1.25M buyout)

"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
I wasn't impressed with Morton when I saw him
I don’t know a whole lot about Hernandez or Locke. McLouth is overrated, but it looks like a pretty good deal for Atlanta, I’d say.

The assumption that the girl knows nothing about baseball?
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
she is "clueless" and therefore picks the players by the names
rather than actual ability or play on the field

Depends on the count
If it’s in favor of the batter, the walk goes to the prior pitcher and anything else is the relief pitcher.
