Can the Brewers beat the worst team in baseball and avoid falling two games below .500 for the first time since April 26? Follow the jump for tonight's pitching matchup, lineups and conversation on tonight's game!
A lot has been made of the decision to start Carlos Villanueva tonight, but the Nationals are also starting an inexperienced starter. Collin Balester (0-1, 6.00) is making just his second start of 2009, and his 17th career start tonight. He lasted just three innings in his last start against the Cardinals, allowing three runs (two earned) on three hits in three innings and picking up the loss. He had gone 7-9 with a 4.35 ERA for Syracuse in AAA before getting the call. Balester struggles with baserunners, and posted a 1.519 WHIP in AAA.
Meanwhile, Carlos Villanueva is preparing for his first start since May 18 of last season. He's 5-9 with a 4.40 ERA in his career as a starter, and 11-12 with a 4.15 ERA as a reliever. Villanueva has been struggling lately, posting a 10.80 ERA in his last 17 appearances while going 0-4. He has been pretty good against Adam Dunn, though: Dunn is the only National who's faced him more than seven times, and he's hit .154/.214/.154 off of Villanueva in 14 plate appearances.
Casey McGehee is back in the lineup tonight, bumping Mike Cameron into the second spot (h/t JS):
2B Felipe Lopez
CF Mike Cameron
LF Ryan Braun
1B Prince Fielder
3B Casey McGehee
RF Corey Hart
SS J.J. Hardy
C Jason Kendall
RHP Carlos Villanueva
Villanueva is expected to pitch 3-4 innings tonight, leaving at least five innings for the bullpen:
Chris Smith pitched one inning (11 pitches) last night, and also pitched on Sunday.
Mark DiFelice pitched .2 innings (11 pitches) last night, and also pitched on Sunday.
R.J. Swindle pitched 2 innings (35 pitches) last night.
Mitch Stetter faced two batters (7 pitches) last night.
Todd Coffey has not pitched since Saturday.
Tim Dillard is expected to back up Villanueva tonight, and last pitched on Wednesday for Nashville.
Trevor Hoffman has not pitched since Tuesday, July 21.
Enjoy the game!

Speaking of lousy teams
I got my tickets for Sunday’s Padres/Brewers game. Left field box, front row, right behind Braun. The Braunophile won’t have to keep asking me “Daddy, where’s Ryan Braun now?” If the game wasn’t at Petco, we’d actually have a shot at catching a homerun ball! (Or at least causing a Fan Interference call….)
fail
Fail – flat tire on country road.
Win – full size spare.
Fail – lug nuts are aluminum and all rounded.
Win – its not raining.
Fail – waiting for help and mosquitoes are out now.
Win – I can listen to the game.
Fail – I have company tickets to the game.
Win – blackbert still has batteries.

Petco
I live in LA and am going down to Petco this weekend. Haven’t bought tickets yet. I feel like DM, waiting to see if this team is any good this week before I decide if I’m a buyer or not. Was planning all year to go to both Saturday and Sunday’s games. Now, well, there’s lots to do in that town other than be mad at the Brewers. Plus, they’ll be in town next week and I’m not sure how much of this I can take.
Sigh.

Plus the Angels are out of town this weekend….
Well, they should also be able to beat the Nats this week...

I'm going to guess Kendall owned the Expos back when he was a Pirate.
Either that, or I’m going to cite small sample size.

I've been debating trying to go to the Nats-Brewers game in Washington
Or a Brewers-Pirates game in Pitt. I think I’m leaning towards Pitt since the travel time is easier and I have more days off around it vs having to take time off for a Nats game
any opinions here on PNC vs Nationals park
as far as where I’m more likely to have a good experience walking in as an opposing-team fan?
I will be at Nats Park
for at least one of the games. Unfortunately I am moving the only weekend they are in town this year!

I start a new job next monday
So taking off time that soon for a game is probably a bad idea no matter how many times I hear from fellow coworkers that they took off time their first month of working there. I would have loved to do Pitt on Wednesday and Washington on Friday but I need to ground myself into reality I guess =(
No contest. Pittsburgh.
I’d go to the Pirates game in a heartbeat. The Nats stadium is crap. $7.50-8.50 for a fricking beer! Crap food, except for the chili.
If you’re trying to get to every stadium, I’d still skip Nats stadium. Just lie and say you went. The only redeeming feature is the Nats haven’t sold any naming rights. I wonder why….. ;-)

I was playing Bejeweled Blitz in another window.
I think we’ve previously discussed my confidence in Villanueva as a starter.
Your condescension is appreciated, though.

Your really going to blame that on Villanueva?
A bunt single and a ball that was caught? Which would have been a double play.

No, I'm fine with both of those.
But with him tiring and runners on second and third, I would have called the pen.

Not much he can do about the dropped fly ball
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
Right.
He was left in a little too long, again, in a situation where Macha should have seen trouble brewing, but he pitched well before he started to wear out.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Give me a break.
He gave up a catchable fly ball that should have ended the inning or at the very least brought the pitcher up with two out.
That’s all I’m going to say. If there’s one thing today has shown, this sort of argument is pointless.
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
I mentioned it above, but I'll drop it in here too.
I don’t think he pitched all that poorly, but when he was tiring and had runners on second and third with two outs, I would have called the pen.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
So, much like last night.
Villy, who’s not stretched out, ekes out 4 while giving up only 4 runs. What are the odds Macha trots him back out there for the fifth?
Unlikely.
Dillard was warming, and Villy has to be at/beyond his pitch count.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Errr Villy didn't have to bat the previous inning...
so Macha can go to Dillard now.
BTW
I made a typo: 5 runs. One silver lining, Dillard’s debut…
If this is the silver lining
we lose
When I get bubbly I do it in moderation,
1 brew, 1 brew, I said 1 brew at a time
I would've started Dillard tonight
Given the small chance he’d pitch well and could go 6+ as opposed to Villy going only four, but Dillard is making me glad that didn’t happen.

But if Dillard had walked Morgan and gotten out of the inning unscored upon, he would’ve been only the eighth pitcher since 1954 to walk six, strike out none, and allow zero runs in an appearance.

How much do you want to bet Dillard gets raves
But Villanueva gets ripped on.
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
I would think so.
But 5 walks…
and his second out of that inning was off some pretty generous strike calling. Thats why I thought he should’ve been taken out right then. He was missing by a lot, and with only 1.1 innings left, I thought Coffey/Hoffman could have finished it either way.
I didn’t really expect to win this game anyway. Would have been nice!
"Cubs suck. I own them" -Doug Davis
Not looking good right now.
Hate to go running off the deep end, but Right now it looks like our starting rotation for the next few weeks could be:
Gallardo
Parra
Looper
Villanueva
Dillard
Of course Suppan isn’t any better at this point. Hard to get excited about the Brewers right now. Don’t blame Melvin one bit, being reluctant to go out and get anyone.
With both Villa and Dillard over 60 pitches tonight. I doubt either starts on short rest for Suppon

Not to mention that..
I’m sure after today they will say they still haven’t found another starting option. I would expect Chase Wright or someone else to make the next start.

Dillard could.
He’s been starting all year, his arm is stretched out.

no, I was unhappy with it when I saw the card
I just don’t think he’s making enough contact to justify that

Cam has been better than hart, Hardy and Kendall this year, so it makes sense to me. You could swap Cam and Mcgehee I guess.
