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.

I'm looking forward to more helmut screaming tonight!

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.
Anyone else see backtocali say on the daily dish blog that he'd love for the Brewers to trade for Zambrano
because their fans would go bersek?
I sure would.

tough to come from behind against Santana
I guess we’ll just have to do it anways
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."
Nope
Did anyone notice he was jogging slowly and watching the ball at the start of his second double last night, when he only needed a triple for the cycle… I can promise I’d have been running like hell from the crack of the bat if I needed a triple for the cycle
sorry I am late
now the Brewers may start scoring some runs
anyone see..
hardy and sedars hand shake? Its pretty sweet
Yeah, J.J. grins like an idiot every time he's on first base
I wonder what about it is so consistently amusing for him.

Is the cheaper price
due to the purchasing of a plan with the phone?

Actually, the BOM cost is under $200

iPhone 3G S Carries $178.96 BOM and Manufacturing Cost. The entry-level, 16Gbyte version of Apple Inc.’s new iPhone 3G S carries a BOM cost of $172.46 and a manufacturing expense of $6.50, for a total of $178.96
It's called "playing the percentages."
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.

Because most players, even ones as good as Pujols, don't
He certainly could. But I’d never bet on it.

Pujols has never hit more than 49 in a season
I’m pretty sure he will beat that this year but I can see teams pitching around him alot unless Ludwick or somebody else starts hitting
Johnson's really struggling now
After Pujols’ homer, he allowed a triple to Ludwick and walked Yadi Molina. There’s one out.
It was a great selection of awesome.
yikes
he is a beast. Why does anyone pitch to him?
Coffey is surprisingly fast, as is the Polish Sausage
I was a little befuddled about the amount of attention paid to that
I mean, I know a two-homer game is great, but ESPN just would not shut up about it. Also, that Pujols 4-Twins 3 thing bugs me—he didn’t purely account for all four of those runs.

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.

hopefully not Mrs Youngster
Coffey is surprisingly fast, as is the Polish Sausage
That was an stressful throw
Whatever works though
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.

I've taken to showing up at evil BCB...

Allright
Need to get the win tomorrow so the Cubs cant possibly sweep the Brewers and take the division lead
The designated hitter rule is like letting someone else take Wilt Chamberlain's free throws.
its a sin to even think that will happen

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
The designated hitter rule is like letting someone else take Wilt Chamberlain's free throws.
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)…
The designated hitter rule is like letting someone else take Wilt Chamberlain's free throws.
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

Ha Ha
Cards’ announcers still rooting for a Mets comeback.
Coffey is surprisingly fast, as is the Polish Sausage
and the Mets lose
Who was the Brew Crews competition for the wildcard last year
