The Brewers are doing their best to make sure you accomplish nothing today, as the Brewers and Pirates get things started at 11:35 at PNC Park.
There will be plenty of time to work after the game. For now, follow the jump for the pitching matchup, lineups, bullpen and conversation on today's game!
Paul Maholm (6-4, 4.28) makes his 19th start of the season today for the Pirates, and his skills could match up pretty well against the Brewers. Maholm allows just .4 home runs per nine innings of work, the fourth lowest total in the NL. He is, however, eighth in the league in hits allowed (129) and second in wild pitches (nine).
Jeff Suppan (5-7, 4.43) will take the mound for the Brewers, taking on the team he made 21 starts for in 2003. The Pirates traded Suppan to the Red Sox for a package that included Freddy Sanchez. Suppan hasn't won since June 12, but has posted a 4.33 ERA over those six outings.
Here's today's lineup: (h/t JS)
RF Corey Hart
CF Mike Cameron
LF Ryan Braun
1B Prince Fielder
2B Casey McGehee
3B Bill Hall
SS JJ Hardy
C Jason Kendall
P Jeff Suppan
In the bullpen:
Trevor Hoffman pitched 1 inning (seven pitches) last night.
Mark DiFelice pitched .2 innings (seven pitches) last night.
Mitch Stetter pitched .1 innings (three pitches) last night.
Carlos Villanueva pitched three innings on Monday.
Chris Smith pitched two innings on Monday.
Seth McClung has not pitched since Sunday.
Todd Coffey has not pitched since Saturday.

Damnit
So I worked from home today so I could watch the game. Apparently I can’t, neither the rats nor the Brewers have cameras today. I can’t even watch it on MLB Extra Innings.
Sad.

Can we take an automatic out?
Can we just have Hall as a designated fielder and just take an out? It would save us from having to listen to Hall swing and miss at three straight pitches.

Agreed
Although it pains me to watch Billy Hall, I do wish him the best, and hope for his sake (and the Brewers sake) he can get back above the Mendoza/Eucker line and give some production to make himself at least tradeable, I think he needs a change of scenery, and without producing some hits/runs, no one will want him and the Brewers just can’t eat his salary.

Jon Heyman of SI.com says the Brewers appear to be a threat to acquire Halladay. He’s hearing Manny Parra’s name and suspects Mat Gamel or Alcides Escobar would have to be involved, too.
So what, it’s a game thread. Too lazy to leave and post in the right place.

I'm not asking this to be a bassmole,
I’m asking sincerely: What gives you that impression?
by Rubie Q on Jul 22, 2009 12:12 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
well....
i have the impression that prince will leave the brewers. I have this impression because 99% of professional athletes who are free agents choose to play for either a perennial contender or the team that pays them the most (Ryan Braun being the 1%). The brewers likely won’t be able to offer either of those things to prince, at least not as well as other teams can.
that being said, he will be traded or lost to free agency, unless we can put together a deal he can’t refuse, which he still might, since prince is sort of a wild card character.
all that being said, i just feel like gamel would be a logical fit at 1st, since it takes no fielding skills whatsoever, which is exactly what he has.
make any sense?
by sdsowlsa on Jul 22, 2009 12:17 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Fair enough.
But Prince is signed for next year, and we control his rights for 2011. So, unless we completely fall on our faces next year, he’s not leaving until July ’11, at the earliest.
And Gamel wasn’t a butcher at third — in fact, he made a handful of really nice plays. He’s a left-handed stick, with power, in a line-up that is sorely lacking another left-handed bat. And he can hit lefties, too.
What’s wrong with letting him play third every day for the next couple years?

I just checked Gameday. What’s up with all the homeruns all of a sudden. He’s inexplicably been keeping the ball down forever and now meatball city? That’s a truly pitiful display.
This has to demoralize the Brewers hitters. How can they possibly go up into the 4th inning with a positive attitude when their pitcher gives up 4 homeruns in 3 innings? All I’d be thinking is, “i wonder their pitcher is goign to give us 4 hanging breaking pitches.” Pathetic.

Actually
It would be great to get him some starts in right field. I have to assume the odds are Cameron won’t be back and the most obvious solution would be to slide Corey over (not saying any of us agree with it, just that it might be the most obvious solution for CF). It sounds like he would have the arm for it, so why not at least give the guy some reps out there for Justin’s sake, the only downside being that’s less reps at 3rd that he would be getting.

Honestly here, who do we have to not be nervous about?

I'm not all that worried about Hoffman, DiFelice, Stetter or Coffey
So, as it turns out, there’s a fair amount in the bullpen that’s not problematic. Chris Smith seems to get it too.

But I think Clung needs to stay in a consistent routine to be effective. Unfortunately, starting doesn’t seem to be the answer, but if he needs regular work to be effective, then he’s not going to last long as a long reliever either.

I know you cant do this all the time but in the case of a one run lead where the guy has a history of giving up another, hes going to get yanked anyways so why not do it right away?

There's four more innings (at least) in this game.
Assuming Smith and Villanueva (both pitched multiple innings two days ago) are unavailable, that means the Brewers need to get four innings out of Coffey, Stetter, DiFelice and Hoffman. Macha left McClung in because doing anything less would have forced him to get more than one inning per guy out of his four remaining relievers, one of which is his closer.
This isn’t Macha’s fault, it’s Suppan’s. If Soup had managed to pitch five innings, McClung wouldn’t have seen the light of day today.

One would think.
The only other options are multiple innings from DiFelice or Stetter, or one inning each for each remaining guy, with Hoffman pitching regardless of the situation and no one left to cover extras…

Except the game is still tied.
So you can’t assume it will only go 9 innings.

Exactly.
Even if it has been a high scoring game, you have to see extras as a possibility.

Yeah, you said that in your last post. I just didn't read it.
Thanks for not pointing it out to everyone :P

Is Burns available today?
They are skipping his next start, but I don’t know when his usual ‘bullpen’ day would be if he were still in the rotation.

Yeah, he could be available I guess.
But this would be two days rest from throwing about 60 pitches.

It doesn't fill me with confidence either
I was just counting up available bodies before we start asking the position players “Who pitched in high school”

After his performance on Monday
I’m sure the Bucs wouldn’t mind seeing him again.

I was thinking he pitched Sunday
But you’re right, it was Monday, so he’s in about the same boat as Villy, and a little worse off than Chris Smith.

He might be considered if it goes 10+
Otherwise I doubt he’s considered available.

C'mon McGehee
Let’s see a replay of that hit earlier

With an 11:30 start, I didn't expect to say this today
But it’s time for a new thread.
