Ok, if the Brewers can't win this series, they're in serious trouble. It's Craig Stammen vs. Jeff Suppan at 7:05. Follow the jump for tonight's pitching matchup, lineups and conversation on tonight's game!
Craig Stammen (3-5, 4.14) is 25 years old and making his 13th start in his first major league season. So far it's been a solid rookie campaign: He's pitched slightly more than six innings per start (74 total, in 12 games), has posted a 1.176 WHIP and a 34/15 K/BB ratio. He's 2-2 in July but has pitched very well, allowing a 2.15 ERA in 29.1 innings. He picked up the win last time out, allowing just one run on four hits in 7.1 innings of work. He's facing the Brewers for the first time.
He'll be opposed by Jeff Suppan (5-7, 4.71), who hasn't won a game since June 12. Suppan was lucky not to get the loss last time out against the Pirates, allowing five earned runs (four home runs) in just 3.1 innings of work, in a game the Brewers came back to tie but eventually lost. Suppan has posted a 3.32 ERA against the Nationals in his career, second lowest of any opponent (the Brewers are the lowest), but he hasn't faced many current Nats: Only Cristian Guzman (.178/.196/.178 in 45 ABs) and Adam Dunn (.481/.632/.815 in 27) have faced Suppan more than 15 times. And, if you've got some cash burning a hole in your pocket, sponsorship of Suppan's B-Ref page is available for $35.
What does Casey McGehee have to do to get some at bats? He's hitting .319/.372/.524 but Craig Counsell is playing in his place at third again tonight (h/t JS):
2B Felipe Lopez
3B Craig Counsell
LF Ryan Braun
1B Prince Fielder
CF Mike Cameron
RF Corey Hart
SS J.J. Hardy
C Jason Kendall
RHP Jeff Suppan
And in the bullpen:
Chris Smith pitched one inning (19 pitches) yesterday.
Mark DiFelice pitched one inning (18 pitches) yesterday.
R.J. Swindle pitched 2 innings for Nashville on Saturday.
Mitch Stetter pitched one inning (12 pitches) on Saturday.
Todd Coffey pitched .2 innings (12 pitches) on Saturday.
Carlos Villanueva has not pitched since Friday, but will start tomorrow.
Tim Dillard is backing up Villanueva tomorrow, and last pitched on Wednesday for Nashville.
Trevor Hoffman has not pitched since Tuesday.
Enjoy the game!

So there's no long reliever tonight, correct?
Villanueva and Dillard are both slated for 3-4 innings tomorrow. It could get ugly in a hurry if Suppan can’t go five.

Suppan can go five
it’s just a matter of what the score will be. they’ve given up the most runs in the league, so hopefully it’s 6-4, us by then.

I guess they could always use Dillard tonight
And have Chris Smith soak up a few innings tomorrow. Maybe he’ll even get a chance to pitch with a lead and improve the team’s 1-18 record in games he’s pitched in.

He has gone 2 or more IP in Nashville a bunch of times this season.
Highly doubtful Macha will ever let him throw more than 1 IP unless the game is a huge blowout, but that doesn’t mean he couldn’t.

A ton
At least until his ‘hamstring injury’ gets better.
Why are we starting this guy when he’s hurting too much to play like a winner if we’ve got McGehee on the bench?

Not to avoid a tag or anything though, what's the rule, exactly?
by Mykenk on Jul 27, 2009 9:00 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
7.08
“Any runner is out when — ":http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/official_info/official_rules/runner_7.jsp
(a) (1) He runs more than three feet away from his baseline to avoid being tagged unless his action is to avoid interference with a fielder fielding a batted ball. A runner’s baseline is established when the tag attempt occurs and is a straight line from the runner to the base he is attempting to reach safely; or (2) after touching first base, he leaves the baseline, obviously abandoning his effort to touch the next base;
there are more sections to the rule, but it looked like he abandoned his effort.
by Capt Science on Jul 27, 2009 9:04 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
He wasn't avoiding getting tagged though
He thought he was forced out.
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
by TheJay on Jul 27, 2009 9:05 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
but the (2) is before the phrase "avoid being tagged"
so i read it as an alternate action entirely. that is, part (1) of subsection (a) is with respect to tagging, and part (2) doesn’t specify that tagging is involved.
at this point, it’s all moot, and i guess you can argue intent and all that anyway.
by Capt Science on Jul 27, 2009 9:10 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
sorry, i meant the (1)
is before “avoid being tagged”.
anyway, whatever.
by Capt Science on Jul 27, 2009 9:11 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I'm confused about what you mean
Section (1) deals with running out of the baseline to avoid being tagged. He was never avoiding a tag and left the baseline to avoid getting in the way of the throw to first.
Section (2) deals with what a runner does after touching first base. It doesn’t apply to a runner who was already there.
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
by TheJay on Jul 27, 2009 9:12 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
ah, i see what you mean
but they have this comment in italics, which implies it DOES apply to a runner that was already there:
This rule also covers the following and similar plays: Less than two out, score tied last of ninth inning, runner on first, batter hits a ball out of park for winning run, the runner on first passes second and thinking the home run automatically wins the game, cuts across diamond toward his bench as batter-runner circles bases. In this case, the base runner would be called out "for abandoning his effort to touch the next base" and batter-runner permitted to continue around bases to make his home run valid. If there are two out, home run would not count (see Rule 7.12). This is not an appeal play.

Alright, but did he ever actually start heading to the dugout?
It seemed like he got out of the way and then hung around second base.

So, Suppan wasn't all THAT bad, compared to the bullpen... go figure.
by Mykenk on Jul 27, 2009 9:14 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Considering ten of those runs are Suppan's
I wouldn’t throw a parade just yet.

Your logic confuses me.
If Macha should assume his bullpen is going to give up 2+ runs/inning, he shouldn’t even show up to the game.

Still a lot of baseball to be played...
just means that we are going to be giving up more runs. :(

When Braun, Gamel, Fielder, Gallardo, Escobar, Lawrie, Lincecum, Cain, Halladay, Longoria, and Strasburg take the Brewers to their third straight World Series title, I’ll have to give them a sense of how good they have it.

Nightmare.
At first, I kind of just felt Jeff Suppan was like a Captain Planet that you can hate, but this is going beyond him now. Feel sick. Don’t trade the farm, don’t sell, don’t buy. Coast this funk into some kind of normality.
