A day after the first loss of Mark DiFelice's career in the second game of the series, the Brewers try to avoid dropping a third straight game in Chicago here on the Fourth of July. The forecast calls for intermittant rain, but that's not enough to stop the Parade of Fifth Starters!
Braden Looper, fresh off his sixth win of the season, tries to send the Cubs back to .500 for the year. Looper went 6 1/3 innings last time out against the Mets, allowing 3 runs (1 earned) on seven hits with two strikeouts and walks. It was his second consecutive quality start, a string that has reduced his season ERA from 5.21 all the way down to 4.90! Yippee! Looper has made nine career starts against the Cubs, going 2-4 with a shiny 2.37 ERA in 57 innings. His last start against the Cubs was April 10, when he gave up one run in five innings in a no-decision.
The Cubs send righthander Rich Harden to the mound. Harden is 5-4 with a middling 4.57 ERA but he's still striking out more than one batter per inning, which should make today entertaining. He missed nearly a month earlier this year with a back injury but has come out firing since. In his last start, he gave up one run in seven innings in Pittsburgh, striking out nine. He was Looper's opponent on April 10, striking out ten Brewers while allowing only 3 hits and 2 runs (1 earned). He was also saddled with a no-decision in that game.
As Jeff Suppan found out yesterday in between bars of his sonata, it takes more than good pitching to win a game. Trying to provide Brewers fans some early fireworks today is this lineup:
Counsell 2B
Hardy SS
Braun LF
Fielder 1B
McGehee 3B
Cameron CF
Hart RF
Kendall C
Looper P
Bullpen Situation:
Chris Smith threw 2 2/3 innings (50 pitches) on Thursday and is presumably unavailable.
Chris Narveson threw one inning (11 pitches) on Thursday and is in the recent-callup-so-prepare-to-go-three-innings role today.
Carlos Villanueva threw 16 pitches in 2/3 of an inning yesterday.
Mark DiFelice threw 29 pitches in 2/3 of an inning yesterday.
Mitch Stetter threw 1 1/3 innings (15 pitches) yesterday. It was his first appearance in nearly a month without a strikeout.
Todd Coffey has not pitched since Tuesday.
Trevor Hoffman has not pitched since Monday.

That was a huge play though
That saved the game for them at that point, and it really needed to be a near perfect throw to get Suppan in that situation.

So, quick question about WPA
does an error count against the pitcher’s WPA? or is that left out of the equation somehow?

I think it goes against the pitcher
Since Hart’s WPA on fangraphs right now is the .009 he got for singling in the top of the 1st.

No
He can’t get the win then and Macha would not stand for that. Plus, as Hyatt says, there’s a 7 run lead so might as well try and save the bullpen.

The difference to me,
while far from being an expert, is twofold – first, I don’t think Hall ever posted this kind of average. Second, Casey doesn’t have such a funky, body-less stance/swing.
by Wayfaerer on Jul 4, 2009 2:01 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
And also, to be fair
McGehee is a rookie. While he’s posting rookie-Braun like numbers, it’s very possible opponents just haven’t figured out how to pitch him yet.

Oh yeah, Milton Bradley is "Too Much Good Stuff"
according to the Cubs. That’s how you know it’s been a poor game

Was it really necessary to pitch Coffey and Villy today?
We may need them tomorrow

There you go
Coffey gets an inning so he’s not rusty tomorrow and Narveson finishes the game.

Casper says
“Bradley had a two-run homer to start the comeback.” Does it really count as a comeback if those were the only runs you scored while down by 7?

Which is more damning with faint praise
That Kendall “calls a good game” or that he is “durable”?

I think calling him Gritty is damning enough

gritty implies more age
so I’d go with that

So, let's say...
David Eckstein, over the course of his career, went from scrappy to gritty?
Oh, the rhyming potential…

Personally
I don’t think gritty makes sufficiently clear that the major strength of his game is crouching down and getting up loads of times a year…

I really do but..
I have to say, if Braun really started struggling, I would still never boo him.

I usually save my booing at the home team for guys who will always suck and have no business beeing in the uniform
Like Chad Moeller, Jason Kendall, and Suppan
