It's Mike Burns v. Johan Santana tonight at 7:05.
Burns (0-1, 3.72) will make his second career start. In his last outing, he held the Twins hitless through three innings but eventually took the loss, allowing four runs on six hits and three walks in 5.2 innings. It's his second career appearance against the Mets: He held them scoreless in two relief innings for the Reds in 2007. It was his final appearance as a Red.
Johan Santana (9-5, 3.08 ERA), meanwhile, has more Cy Young Awards (two) than Burns has major league starts (one). He shut the Brewers out for seven innings as part of a 1-0 Mets victory back in April, and kept his ERA under 2 through his first ten starts of the season. There's a pretty good chance Santana will factor in the decision in tonight's game: He's done so in 14 of his 15 starts this season and ten straight, dating back to April 29. It's possible the Brewers are catching Santana at a good time: He's 2-3 with a 5.93 ERA in June.
Bill Hall picked up two meaningless hits late in last night's contest and earned himself some opportunities to get struck out by Santana:
RF Corey Hart
SS J.J. Hardy
LF Ryan Braun
1B Prince Fielder
2B Casey McGehee
CF Mike Cameron
C Jason Kendall
3B Bill Hall
RHP Mike Burns
(h/t JS)
You know things are bad when you're batting behind Jason Kendall. In the bullpen:
Mitch Stetter threw 24 pitches (1.1 innings) last night.
Carlos Villanueva threw 21 pitches (.1 inning) last night.
Todd Coffey threw 11 pitches (.1 inning) last night.
Trevor Hoffman threw one pitch (.2 innings) last night.
Chris Smith last pitched on Sunday.
Mark DiFelice last pitched on Sunday.
Chris Narveson last pitched on Sunday.
Tuesday's Game Thread is now open.

stacking RHB vs. Santana? Why?
OPS splits for Johan:
’09: 611 vs RHB; 848 vs LHB
’08: 637 vs RHB; 678 vs LHB
career: 639 vs RHB; 672 vs LHB
Honestly, I’m only bothering with the single season splits as a novelty, and in case anyone wonders whether anything has been different recently. While the reverse platoon differential for his career isn’t huge or anything, the sample size is large enough that we can be fairly certain that Santana is indeed actually less effective against LHB than RHB. Moreover, given that his best pitch is easily his changeup, that fact isn’t even all that surprising.

Has anyone seen Hardy move that much?
"That's not a weird stat. Rickie is a run-scorer," Yost said. "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter," Yost told reporters. "See, you guys have no concept. He's a run-scorer. So there's nothing weird about it. That's what he does."

to be fair,
That quote above is Apple’s cost—I’m sure they have a significant markup to AT&T, who in turn, has a terrific markup to us consumers when not paired with a contract.

Meh
So they have to go cheap on a bullpen spot that year.

Well, if he's only starting once or twice a week...
If Gamel is sent down, I hope they are quick to bring him up when McGehee comes back to earth.

Yeah, the "damn" is more that this is becoming the status quo, Gamel not playing
If Macha doesn’t want to use him, he should go to AAA. Hell, call up Heether and boot Koshansky off the 40-man.
It was a great selection of awesome.

Heether give them a righty besides Rivera on the bench
So that would work.

He would be a better option off the bench than Hall
When McGehee is playing 3rd

He would also, at least nominally, give the team another RH option at short

not sure if I like this or not
I’d like to see him get more playing time. He’s certainly not getting it here.

he looked like a sad panda in the dug out

Late to the party...
… but the way he’s being used it doesn’t make any sense to keep him up here. Not in my opinion anyway.
Besides, Macha promised to let Bill Hall suck on a periodic basis, like tonight for instance, and that’s way more important than giving Gamel playing time.
i have a reasonable dislike of Bill Hall.

Try it. It’s fun.

Allright

i keep reading the end of the Cubs season, and they are a sweep away from first place
Season is far from done, and would still bet on them today to win the division

so therefore if the cubs win and brewers lose tomorrow
it would be 3.5, and a 4 game sweep would put them ahead( long 4th of july series)…

i am assuming the worst tomorrow
Which I like the Brewers chance with the B team vs the Ace…
But still a long season, Brewers could get another big injury- Cubs could come alive… lead could be lost in 2 weeks no problem
