Milwaukee Brewers at Atlanta Braves, Jun 7, 2009 12:35 PM CDT
Jordan's prophecy came true last night as the Brewers evened their record on the current road trip to 3-3, but getting over the .500 mark might be difficult.
I say that because today marks the Major League debut of 22-year-old Tommy Hanson, ranked in the offseason as the fourth-best prospect in the game by Baseball America. Since that ranking, Hanson has done nothing but add to his legend, posting a 90/17 K/BB with only 40 hits allowed in 66.1 innings at Triple-A Gwinnett.
So, what can we expect to see from Hanson? He works in the low 90s but can touch 96 with his fastball, has a great 12-to-6 overhand curve, and a good changeup. Sounds impressive, eh? Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the high 80s slider he added last year that BA says is his best pitch. They rate all four of his pitches as at least major league average, and Kevin Goldstein at BP goes even further than that, claiming Hanson has four plus pitches. As you can imagine, that's a rare compliment, especially for a 22-year-old.
Who are we throwing against the precocious righty? The somewhat less precocious and decidedly less right-handed Manny Parra. Parra may have a long leash, but this is undoubtedly an important start for him, whether he's been unlucky or not: he's had two complete blow-ups in his last three starts, and people are getting antsy.
At least we have Mat on our side.
Go Brewers!

Seems to be working well so far!
With a combination consistently scoring with a big hand from the Prince (and assistance from others) as well as pitching being able to get out of jams and limit runs, we a week later we find ourselves ready for another sunday sweep!

Bereavement List
Has a minimum of three days, maximum of seven days. I would guess it would depend on how bad his elbow has been hurting him, but with Chris Smith up I would expect to see him back sometime Tuesday-Wednesday
by pharom on Jun 7, 2009 11:27 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Before he left...
the plan was to have him return after the Monday off-day. But yeah, if his elbow could use another day or two of rest they could well cheat those out of the bereavement list assignment.

That was my expectation
But I can’t picture it going the full week unless he’s worse then we thought, but all of the reports I saw about the move did have a pretty strong suggestion that the move was going to be used for extra days of recoup. I would expect to hear something about it tomorrow on the off day

I'm strangely optimistic for this game...
it’s always seemed to me like debuting pitchers give us more trouble the less heralded they are. Sooo, perhaps we’ll see Hanson chased after giving up 6 R in 3 IP or something. Time to go for the intersweep!

Young pitcher with great stuff
Does well in the minors, struggles at times in the majors. Hanson could be looking at his future on the mound when the Crew takes field! Or he could be the Anti-Parra, but yeah the way we’ve facing the lower tier prospects makes me hopeful for this game in a bizarre way, and Parra is so streaky that it “should” be time for a swing in the other direction.
The big question: Could today be Parra’s last chance?

I am killing time relistening to last nights game on the Atlanta radio feed
Jim Powell is being pretty snippy towards Milwaukee and some of the Milwaukee players. Talking about how all the players “flee” Wisconsin as soon as the season is over.
Making fun of Braun’s habit of picking up tiny amounts of dirt in between each pitch
Sounds like Jim did not enjoy his time in Milwaukee as much as we thought he had.

Honest to God...
… I was never really a fan of his anyway. Besides, he was trying to entertain an audience that hadn’t heard their team score a run in 3 days. He probably had run through all of his Braves material, and there was nothing left to do but rip Milwaukee. I’m sure he doesn’t miss it here, but I’d already forgotten about Powell until I read your comment…

Hanson as Atlanta's Gallardo
Yesterday on the pre-game show with Cory Proviss, Jim Powell said that Hanson is “Atlanta’s Yovani Gallardo”, And Powell certainly knows the significance of such a statement to a Brewer audience. So today could be a tough one.

I love fun. However, cheating and intentionally causing harm to someone within the parameters of a game that is supposed to be fun is, in fact, stupid and about as not fun as it can get. Remember how it feels when the other team intentionally hits Braun or some other Brewer? Yeah, well I do and I don’t like it.
Maybe you should stop drinking when you watch games because I’m pretty sure your definition of fun might match the general populations’ then.

looking at who is hitting behind him, how is he even allowed to see a pitch to hit? Walk him and let Diaz and Francouer try to hit.
by juggernaut400 on Jun 7, 2009 2:01 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
The problem with walking him there
Is that bases loaded means Diaz and/or Francoeur just needs a blooper to score two. A Chipper single will only score one.

That is part of the reason I tend to listen to games live
But the ones I cant, I watch them the next day (it is easy to not find out the score here). The TV feed falls further and further behind and then sometime catches up by missing out a few outs here and there.
The recorded games also mean you can skip the gaps between inning so it only takes a couple of hours.

i have hanson in my fantasy baseball matchup league
And i was winning in ERA and wins, my opponent didn’t have anyone starting, so i decided not to risk the ERA on some kids debut. Looks like it paid off.

and you dont want to cheer for an opposing player
that is why fantasy football is tough, if you had Randy Moss on the Vikings playing the packers… you had to hope for 150 yards from Moss and 2 TDs but the Packers to do better
The designated hitter rule is like letting someone else take Wilt Chamberlain's free throws.

I draft avoiding other NL Central clubs
But when an opposing player is on my team for the day, I still cheer for him to do poorly. If he does well despite my cheering, well I guess it’s good for my fantasy team but really when you’ve got that many players it can’t hurt to be cheering against one =(

Thats why you emotionally distance yourself from your fantasy team
that way you aren’t limiting yourself. Fantasy doesn’t matter until the game is over

Sometimes
There are times that pressing the “Live” button will catch me up, and times when it just sends me back a minute or two. Reloading the entire window often has the same effect…Normally I’ll hit the live button while on commercial break and normally it’ll catch up near the end of the break and be closer to the current action (like coming out of break with an out or two already)

So, Parra's ERA got worse again...
and it was another decidedly unpretty performance – will the fact that he might actually get the win here affect the front office evaluation of it?

The US did pretty good in the WBC (this time)
I went to game one in Toronto, was honestly impressed with the showing. With NewYork right there, you go to a Jays/Yanks game and it’s like a second home for the Bronx Bombers, but the Canadians were fired up and hostile, and it was a pretty good game as well. Fun to see Yankees fans cheering Youkilis, but maybe the way that Canada knocked the US out last WBC brought some extra attention.
That said, it really was night and day watching the other players vs some of our best. I really would like to see what those same guys could do later/after the season as opposed to just in the start, but honestly it could be detrimental to the overall MLB season occurring at a different time I guess, so crazy to watch the other countries just on fire whereas the US still seemed to be warming up, that WBC final was just nuts in comparison to most of the games we watch day in day out and even the majority of the playoffs

Bunting
Does Ken Macha? know when to bunt to get the runner in scoring position? This is the second game where he could have bunted and two games where the batter (especially Kendall batting avg. 214) grounded into a double play. I am shocked and disappointed with his decisions.
