Fresh off a full 48 hours off, the Brewers open a three game series tonight, as Manny Parra and the Crew host Javier Vazquez and the Braves to open up a very important homestand.
Follow the jump for tonight's starting pitching matchup and conversation on tonight's game!
At age 32, Javier Vazquez might be having the best season of his career, posting a 7-7 record with a 2.86 ERA in 126 innings of work. He's among the top ten in the NL in both ERA and WHIP, and his 10.07 strikeouts per nine innings is the NL's second highest total. He's 3-1 in his last five starts and has allowed just five earned runs over 33.2 innings, striking out 29 and walking six in that time. The Brewers were able to beat him on June 6, and have fared pretty well against him in his career: He's 5-7 with a 4.87 ERA in 15 career starts.
Hopefully Manna Parra can continue his bounce back from demotion earlier this season. Since returning to the big leagues, Parra has allowed just one earned run in thirteen innings, walked four and struck out 13. He allowed five runs on eight hits in 5.2 innings his last time out against the Braves on June 7 en route to a no decision. Hopefully fatigue won't be a factor for him tonight: He needed 124 pitches to get through six innings against the Reds on Saturday, but has had an extra day of rest since then.
Felipe Lopez is still out tonight, so Jason Kendall gets the leadoff spot again (h/t JS):
C Jason Kendall
2B Craig Counsell
LF Ryan Braun
1B Prince Fielder
3B Casey McGehee
CF Mike Cameron
RF Corey Hart
SS J.J. Hardy
LHP Manny Parra
The off day came at a good time for the bullpen:
Todd Coffey pitched two innings (29 pitches) Wednesday.
Seth McClung pitched 1.2 innings (36 pitches) Wednesday.
Mark DiFelice pitched .2 innings (eight pitches) Wednesday, and also pitched on Tuesday.
Mitch Stetter pitched .1 innings (17 pitches) Wednesday, and also pitched on Tuesday.
Trevor Hoffman last pitched on Tuesday.
Carlos Villanueva last pitched on Monday.
Chris Smith last pitched on Monday.
Enjoy the game!

Lopez
At the game what’s the story on lopez?
by SgtClueLs on Jul 24, 2009 6:52 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
Via Tom
Evidently, sitting out Wednesday and having an off day Thursday was not enough for new infielder Felipe Lopez to recover from a hamstring strain.
"I still consider myself the best third baseman in the league" -Bill Hall
A little Braves lineup scouting report for you
McLouth – Struggling since the ASG
Prado – Team MVP since June 1st or so. Terrific hitter
Chipper – Well, you know. His numbers are a bit down tho.
McCann – Recently out of a little slump; back to normal
Escobar – Red hot; HR in each of the past 2 games
Anderson – Sucked until June, turned it around and having decent year.
Diaz – Kills LHP; platoons with Church in RF
Vazquez – Pitcher, but not a bad hitter.

I really want to, but didn't pay for it
Just curious, how does he sound? Any nostalgia being back in Milwaukee?
battlekow: Bill is having an oppo-gasm
For Braun, he basically said that he was cocky but could back it up.
He was very surprised they pitched to Fielder there.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice DP fellas. Counsell knows what the f*&% he’s doing out there.
Just going to say before my computer timed out
A guy from the Braves board posted a link to Powell broadcasting the game
battlekow: Bill is having an oppo-gasm
I just bought Gameday Audio for my BlackBerry
I am shocked how well it’s working. I’m also watching MLB.TV and it’s timed up nicely.
I keep thinking Parra is better than this
Apparently not
This certainly makes me think this ain't the year to go all-in with the trades
We are MANY pieces away from a playoff team.
My thoughts exactly.
That’s the only thing making today emotionally bearable. Let the Cards go all-in. This obviously isn’t the Brewers’ year anyway.

do you honestly think he has done a good job?
by Sheriff 'Stache on Jul 24, 2009 8:00 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
Not a great job, but an awful one, either.
That’s really beside the point, though. You can’t just go firing a manager halfway through his first season because you’re only at .500 (and 3 games out)—which is about exactly where most people expected the Brewers to be.
Good luck finding someone decent to take that small-market job knowing that unless they’re in the division lead halfway through their first season, they’re fired.

I can't say I like the job Macha's done this year
but at least he’s not Ned Yost.

by Dikembe Meiztombo on Jul 24, 2009 8:04 PM CDT up reply actions
what would you have had Macha do differently?
I don’t understand this at all – how is Macha responsible for Parra forgetting how to pitch or Hart/Hardy/Hall forgetting how to hit, for instance?
Bill Hall
Plain and simple.
Not to mention Kendall in the 1 hole, and jerking the lineup around just like Ned.
Imagine the Brewers offense without Ryan & Prince.

I'm not sure Macha is the issue here. These players could use some freaking
consistency and manager can provide that.
J.J. swinging first pitch. wow
can’t argue with the results
Been waiting all year for Macha to take charge and he hasnt. How can the players b consistent when the skip is all over the board with his decisions?
by Sheriff 'Stache on Jul 24, 2009 7:54 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
How do you define all over the board?
Are you referring to the lineup changes?
by Nicole Haase on Jul 24, 2009 8:12 PM CDT up reply actions
I think he means his starting lineup
And there I must agree.
How much can you give him
in terms of changes necessitated by injury?
by Nicole Haase on Jul 24, 2009 8:17 PM CDT up reply actions
mainly line-ups. but he doesnt get the national league way. Gotta go to work so u guys keep it up. GO CREW!
by Sheriff 'Stache on Jul 24, 2009 8:20 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
Meaning small ball?
With the lineup constructed the way it is, the team built the way it is, it’s not designed for that. I think that’s more of a organizational belief rather than Macha alone, per say.
battlekow: Bill is having an oppo-gasm
"national league way"
he double-switches frequently, not like his predecessor.
as to the lineup, there have been minimal changes. Braun and Fielder have stayed 3-4. Various people have led off because we don’t have a high speed high OBP kind of guy. And figuring out where to stick hardy is a tough one.
by PagsBrewCrew on Jul 24, 2009 9:15 PM CDT up reply actions
agree
that’s what I was trying to get at. It’s not like it’s been too much of a revolving door, it’s just been moving guys to different spots trying to find what works without Rickie. We’ve also had to deal with Corey, Braun and Hardy out for more than a game or two at various times, necessitating that we figure out a better option
by Nicole Haase on Jul 24, 2009 9:17 PM CDT up reply actions
Brewers have used 61 lineups this year

Maybe not so much.
Hit him in the knee, tough ball to play (hit hard)
I just hope he’s ok and can stay in

He looks like he doubt on his face to me. But I'm consuming a 40 oz of Bud Ice
currently. Maybe my people skills are diminishing.
Alright. Good job to get out of it. Now get him out of there.
battlekow: Bill is having an oppo-gasm
Pulling him the second he falters
is not going to help his confidence. I’m all for a guy up and the possibility of a quick hook, but I’m not sure there’s a need to pull him yet.
by Nicole Haase on Jul 24, 2009 8:26 PM CDT up reply actions
The way I look at it, he regained some confidence by getting out of that.
I can see the argument for letting him stay, at least, one more inning. Personally, I’d take him out.
battlekow: Bill is having an oppo-gasm
I'm officially apologizing to Manny.
Way to escape the jam, dude. My bad for doubting you.
45 pitches later...
nicely done manny.

or the umpire
a suspension wouldnt be that bad…would it?
gotta be honest
parra hasnt pitched terrible tonight
coming back and staying with it after the big inning is a good sign from Manny
part of the problem earlier this year was his inability to get back in the game when things started going wrong
by CheezeconQueso on Jul 24, 2009 8:48 PM CDT up reply actions
exactly
its not about giving up the big inning, parra mainly struggles with psych issues, the fact that he is still able to pitch out of jams effectively right now is a fantastic sign, at least imo

I’m in the middle of a little bit of a slap fight with a Twins fan on my blog. He says the Sabathia trade was a failure and it blew up in the Brewers’ face. Either A) Gimme some ammo, or B) Come on over to lordzofvengeance to smack this fool down.(if you have a google or blogspot account).

i am not sure how in any sense of the word you can call the sabathia trade a failure
we had a strong farm system and didnt lose any huge long term prospects, he came in and saved our pitching staff, our team ended up winning when we needed to due to the motivation, i’d say its not even worth arguing.
Nope. Just Seth, really. Everyone else has been pretty alright.
Besides, above you said that Parra wasn’t pitching well, so, what’d you want, 200 pitches of psuedo-suck?
I'd like to see him get more innings. Thats all. I have no faith in the BP right now.
I have no faith in any of our pitchers though………
It's really nice to see Braun officially out of his slump.
Love having the one-two punch back at full strength.

This series isn't going to be about pitching keep us in the game
No one on our roster is going to be able to shut out the Braves. We have to keep the damage manageable and find our offense.
i agree, i feel like im the only one trying to keep things positive
i mean, we are a small market team, we have alot of good young players, i just dont see the cliff face everyone seems to be trying to jump off of just because we arnt making a trade

Giving up the long ball continues to kill the Brewers pitching staff

i hope this settles the question
of whether we should be trying to trade for a starting pitcher.

Thank you Braves. Let us all realize that this is not the year.
Best friends you could ever have. Save it, make incremental moves off-season, and pound everyone 2010-2012.
Still pro-Cameron
right... because next years team is SO different than this years team
Can I get that eye rolling picture again, thanks!
Rickie Weeks will be back and the team will have some payroll flexablility
so it won’t be the same team

Where are you finding this payroll flexibility...
… and will weeks be as good as he was this year, or as bad as he’s been up to this year?
I am assuming a payroll bump from another great attendance year
then the contracts coming off the books will free up more room than raises will eat up.

now you're arguing against Halladay?

I may have misunderstood you, but you appeared to be arguing in favor of a move
either of the called for pitching acquisitions would leave less money for improving next years apparently unimpressive team, while not doing anything to help the streaky nature of the Brewers lineup or the bullpen

no, but, as much as I would like it to be different, this team doesn't seem to have what it takes to make it to the playoffs

I was at the game
Miserable all around.
Hot and muggy inside the stadium, and the air wasn’t moving at all. And a long-ass game.
At first I thought Parra was just serving up BP, but considering how hard the Braves were hitting his pitches, I was afraid a Brewer defender was going to get hurt. It was kind of like watching live-action pinball.
Fielder, McGehee, Cameron: 0-12, 9 strikeouts. Brewers as a team: 3 walks, 12 strikeouts.
Parra’s bunt was a thing of beauty.
