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 far)and tonight’s matchup is with the nationals. i sense a slow thread coming…
don't get me started on this
not a fan of that decision
Coffey is surprisingly fast, as is the Polish Sausage
Tough series to watch
If they win, it’s because they’re expect to. If they lose then well… they suck. No fun.
"I still consider myself the best third baseman in the league" -Bill Hall
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.

Good point
I’m sure that if they need to they will try to make Coffey go extra innings.

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.
by Capt Science on Jul 27, 2009 6:53 PM CDT up reply actions
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.

wow, that's scary
especially after Bill told us that the Nationals are patient at the plate and take a lot of pitches – here’s hoping Suppan can keep it in check

RJ Swindle can go 4+ innings
Heavy sarcasm
"I still consider myself the best third baseman in the league" -Bill Hall
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.
still gets a steal despite the pitchout...

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
He wasn't avoiding getting tagged though
He thought he was forced out.
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
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.

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
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.
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.

Because you need runs when you can get them
And a runner on second with no one out is a bad time to sacrifice.

This is Why I Was Apathetic Towards Yost's Firing
He was just replaces with another moron. Like you really need to find an excuse to keep your 5 ERA starting pitcher in for one more inning. STUPID!
Even a Crappy Bullpen....
is better than a 5 ERA starting pitcher in the the 6th inning. So yeh, I want the crappy bullpen 100% of the time, especially when it includes a pitch hit with a runner on in the 5th, down by 4. It’s a no brainer, IMO.

Soup makes it through the fifth, and gave up ONLY 6 runs. We claw back into it with 3 runs in the bottom of the frame, and Macha marches him back out there for the sixth? Way to fuckin’ go, Macha, brilliant!!!
True,
but every day, we’re inundated with the rumors that the Brewers are going to acquire Halladay or Lee. Regrettably, this team is going nowhere, and even a top-of-the-line pitcher isn’t going to make it so. Hitting is way too inconsistent, we strike out too much, and Macha does’nt take advantage of the speed on the team. This year, at least, we’re prolly screwed.
i think we would need the Sword of a Thousand Truths at this point

Gallardo / #2 pitcher acquired via trade / Bush / Parra / Looper is the only way we could get going again
he's hiding in the belly of Good Kendall
which is the only meat Prince has eaten recently

At this point
I’m about ready to contact Macha myself and volunteer to pitch. Jeez.

Corey Hart has the worst first step of any outfielder I've seen
He is always going the wrong way, makes easy plays look spectacular, and anything else will be a base hit.
When I get bubbly I do it in moderation,
1 brew, 1 brew, I said 1 brew at a time
stretching out his arm
to show that he isn’t going to catch the ball as he runs makes me want to punch him.

Uff Dah
Wow – that stings
Getting crushed by the Nats, not a good sign.
Half a league, half a league, half a league onward, all in the valley of death rode the Brewer's bullpen.
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. :(

In 2015
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.

Put Hall In
Seriously. Not 3rd but pitcher. Don’t over work the arms in the pen.

So call up another pitcher after the game

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.

Yeah... fuck Suppan, I'm never recycling again.

Yeah
GREAT timing on that commercial
What was with Kendall's shaved head?....looks like a fist with eyes.

Looks like he threw a changeup in there, too

You're right
He only threw 13 INTs last year

that's right
replace the pitcher that only got 2 outs and the 3rd used in the prev. inning when you’re down a bunch and short on arms…
Only his second pinch-hit
In 24 or 25 PH AB

Watch
He’ll throw three innings to finish the game. Then they’ll option him down for a fresh arm tomorrow.

No idea who they would call up though
No real options on the 40-man roster. Maybe Colome can go from needing a rookie-ball stint to going to straight to AAA to being in the majors in three days.

Dear Jeff Suppan
My hatred of you burns with the white-hot fire of a thousand suns.
Sorry for the delay. I just caught up on the DVR here on the West Coast.

maybe that means Prince will hit Soup with a steal chair

He beat Parra up
