Tonight, the Brewers open their annual six game road trip to San Diego and Los Angeles. Last August, the Brewers went 3-3 on this road trip en route to their first playoff appearance in 26 years. Can they get off to a good start on the 2009 version of this trip? Follow the jump for tonight's starting matchup, lineup and conversation on tonight's game!
Chad Gaudin (4-9, 4.57) was probably the best pitcher released at the end of spring training. Released by the Cubs on April 5, Gaudin was signed by the Padres on April 12, and made his debut with the major league team on April 28. Gaudin has lost four straight decisions, but has pitched very well over his last four starts, posting a 2.19 ERA in 24.2 innings.
Meanwhile, Braden Looper (9-5, 4.79) will open the road trip for the Brewers. Pitching in a pitchers' park like Petco could really help Looper, who is second in the NL with 24 home runs allowed in 2009. Looper picked up his fifth loss his last time out, allowing five earned runs in six innings, but has posted a 3.93 ERA while going 4-1 in his last six starts.
Again, Casey McGehee and his .895 OPS are sitting on the bench while Craig Counsell and his .801 OPS are in there: (h/t JS)
2B Felipe Lopez
3B Craig Counsell
LF Ryan Braun
1B Prince Fielder
RF Corey Hart
CF Mike Cameron
SS J.J. Hardy
C Jason Kendall
RHP Braden Looper
And in the bullpen:
Todd Coffey pitched an inning (15 pitches) yesterday, and also pitched on Wednesday.
Mitch Stetter pitched one inning (17 pitches) last night.
Trevor Hoffman pitched an inning on Wednesday.
Tim Dillard has not pitched since Tuesday.
Mark DiFelice has not pitched since Tuesday.
R.J. Swindle has not pitched since Monday.
Chris Smith has not pitched since Monday.
Enjoy the game!

weird
instead of the cardinals being half game back, it says the cubs are a half game up. If that made any sense at all. In the standings section on this blog
saw that
i guess they’re predicting the cubs to flop

From Bernie Miklasz's Twitter:
Cubs lose 5-2 at FLA; Cubs are 33-19 at home, 21-28 on road. Starting stretch of 17 of 23 on road.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
and
I believe that due to rain outs they have played 2 less games than the Crew that will have to be made up, eliminating 2 rest days for the cubs.

Yeah
This is the argument against accumulating good glove, no hit guys. Sure, they play enough defense to even out their value, but it’s hard to sustain a rally when your innings have to go through Hardy, Kendall, pitcher’s spot, (leadoff hitter), Counsell.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
But Lopez and Counsell are hitting 300
That’s exactly what I do want now

I remember when the Brewers got him the first time.
Ned Yost was doing an interview about him, and mentioned that his friend Jeff Foxworthy, who doesn’t know that much about baseball, loved watching Craig Counsell play.
It was absurd enough that I’ve remembered it for years. Really, Ned, you cared about what your non-baseball friends thought about your players?

Because they’ll play teams like the Padres, who will defensively blunder their way into dozens of runs.

I feel bad for indians fans

i havent taken a look at who they got in return
if they didnt get some impressive bodies to bring up to the bigs soon, someone needs to be fired quickly

Listening to it
It sounded like he had an adventure in the field.
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
He played short?
Of all the positions they could have had him play tonight, that seemed like the least likely.

Why?
If he shows he can still play short it makes him a touch more valuable.

And that
really DOES up the resale value

Right
But I never figured they’d play him in place of Escobar.

maybe he'll be at second tomorrow

little rusty at short?
whens the last time he was there? a hardy DL stint?
by PagsBrewCrew on Jul 31, 2009 10:08 PM CDT up reply actions
err...
i think he was a late-game substitution there one time this year.
by PagsBrewCrew on Jul 31, 2009 10:10 PM CDT up reply actions
I don't think so
You might be thinking of the game he was in center? He hasn’t played short in the majors since 2006.
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
he started that game in center though, right?
and promptly got injured.
by PagsBrewCrew on Jul 31, 2009 10:11 PM CDT up reply actions
That was a game in left.

Wasn't the one he played center
The one where they had used Gerut early and then Cameron got mad at a strike three call and was tossed?

who was prone to actually looking things up while the rest of us (me especially) just speculate and talk out of our collective asses
Braden Looper must be sacrificing chickens to the run support gods.

Wow
That was a spectacular play.

Wow. I thought that was a base knock
and that he was safe at first

Looked like he was going to throw to third, not second for some reason
Or am I wrong on that?

Seismgraphs just went off all over California
with Prince chugging around the bases
It's still early
but if the Brewers are up big, do they use Hoffman in the ninth, just to get it out of the way?
by Getting Yosted on Jul 31, 2009 10:16 PM CDT reply actions
Considering they used him Tues, Wed, and then warmed up yesterday, i say no

I don't think so

They are here for a series
and he’s been used a few times in a row in the last week, I’d also guess not
Loop still manages to give up a homer...

Looper's 25th HR allowed, tying a career high.

alcohol abuse
spilling his beer

Bad pitching
But worse fielding this inning? I’m not sure who to blame.
Defensive positioning

That error he just had?
Are you saying he wouldn’t have gotten the runner?
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
It wasn't an error.
And I don’t know that he would’ve gotten him anyway, not to mention that only put runners on first and second.
