Milwaukee Brewers at Florida Marlins, Jun 4, 2009 6:10 PM CDT
We could very well have a repeat of May 14 on our hands, since we have both starting pitchers back at the helm.
Dave Bush is 3-1 with an ERA of 4.38 in 2009. With him as the starting pitcher, Brewers are 7-4. He allowed three runs (two earned) while striking out seven Marlins in seven innings. As long as the hitters can at least match the three runs, I wouldn't mind seeing this again from Bush...especially since the bullpen has had to pitch 20 of the last 43 innings. In his career, Bush has only started four games against the Marlins, allowing 16 runs in the process.
The Marlins' starting pitcher tonight, Josh Johnson, is probably the best starter for them this season. So far, he's 4-1 for the year with an ERA of 2.66. In his last start against Milwaukee, he walked five while allowing three runs (two earned) in only four innings. Anyone remember how Manny Parra obsessively checks his baserunners? Well, Johnson has averaged one pickoff throw per baserunner this year, which puts him at the top of the league in such matters with a large margin. It'll be interesting to see how much he throws over to first base tonight, since the Brewers never run.
Lineup:
2B Craig Counsell
SS J.J. Hardy
LF Ryan Braun
1B Prince Fielder
CF Mike Cameron
RF Corey Hart
3B Bill Hall
C Mike Rivera
RHP Dave Bush
Tom sez:
And before you ask why the slump-ridden Hall is in the lineup, here is your answer: He is 4 for 6 with 2 HRs for his career against Johnson.
So unbelievably lame. We're using six at-bats as reasonable barometer now?
Bullpen Status:
- Chris Smith pitched one inning the last two nights for AAA Nashville.
- Seth McClung pitched last night for 3.1 innings and Monday for one inning.
- Todd Coffey last pitched Monday for one inning.
- Carlos Villanueva last pitched Monday for one inning (seeing a pattern here?).
- Mike Burns pitched Tuesday for four innings.
- Mitch Stetter last pitched Sunday for, you guessed it, one inning.
- And Hells Bells himself pitched last night's final inning.
Today's game thread is officially open!

Just to be clear, I wrote the "unbelievably lame" part
Kirbir may very well feel that I’m understating the manner and that it’s better characterized as “a Lusitania-esque tragedy”.
She wouldn’t let me get away with putting words in her mouth, anyway. Ryan Braun, on the other hand, could probably get away with putting just about anything in her mouth.

I agree 90%
but…he’s hit a home run two of the six times he’s faced the guy? If it were 2 doubles and 2 singles in 6 ABs, you could write that off to some BIP luck and I wouldn’t say anything, but if I’m ever willing to agree to a small sample size move, it’s something like this.

...one of which was in 2006
Furthermore, there’s the Gamel factor. If it was between Bill Hall and Craig Counsell for the start at third, sure, maybe let Hall play. But Gamel’s gotta play.

btw
do we consider “under 30” as a small sample size? Or does it depend on the statistic?

one limitation of that article
Simple regression is an easy way to make “too-small” sample sizes more meaningful.
Let’s say, just to make it more dramatic, that Hall had faced Johnson 10 times and homered all 10 times, for a home run rate of 100%. Of course, 10 AB isn’t a meaningful sample. But according to that list, for home run rate, numbers are meaningful at 300 PA.
So here’s what we can do. According to fangraphs, Hall’s projected HR rate for the rest of the season is 3.6%. So, for all we know about Hall, that should be his HR rate against Johnson. (Actually, we should probably take his platoon split. And if you wanted to do a fancier version of this, you could also look at Johnsons projected rate of HR allowed, compared both to league average, do some math, and get a matchup HR rate.)
So, let’s pretend we DO have a 300 PA sample — 290 PA of 3.6%, and 10 PA of 100%. That indicates a 6.8% home run rate. 10 PA isn’t meaningful if it’s all we look at, but if the 10 PA is that extreme (like 10 HR in 10 AB), it’s “meaningful” in the sense that it causes us to significantly revise our estimate of the Hall-Johnson matchup.
Now, of course, 2 HRs in 6 AB is nothing of the sort. If we do the same sort of thing, here’s what we get:
6 PA: 33.3%
294 PA: 3.6%
result: 4.2%
Probably not enough to merit a lineup decision. And maybe not even “meaningful” in a common-sense sort of way. But, strictly speaking, a “small sample size” doesn’t mean “ignore me!” It means, “regress the sh*t out of me.”
Also, cheese.

That is, Johnson's HR rate against righties, correct?

yeah
it takes a couple extra steps to generate a platoon projection — platoon splits are easy enough, as are projections, but nobody publishes the combination of the two.

This team can’t steal a base! They are the worst base stealers and get picked off more then a first graders nose nuggets. And, if by some crazy chance, they DO steal a base, they certainly won’t steal another one in the same game!

I don't really know
but he is a senior, meaning he could’ve been drafted last year but didn’t draw interest.
If he were a prospect of any stature, his coach probably wouldn’t have let him pitch that long.
I would guess that, if a team were considering him, the negative effect of a 13-inning outing would be reversed by the positive effect of proving you can throw 12 hitless innings against a solid lineup.
