Complete Coverage >



Welcome to the dawn of the Alcides Era.

Alcides Escobar makes his first career start today, as the Brewers take on Cesar Carrillo, also making his first major league start, and the Padres at 1:05. Follow the jump for today's pitching matchup, lineup and conversation on today's game!

Star-divide

Cesar Carrillo might be one of the more unlikely candidates to make a major league start this season. He's 25 years old, missed most of 2007 after undergoing Tommy John surgery, pitched poorly in high A after returning in 2008, and is being promoted to the big leagues to make today's start despite posting a 4.47 ERA in the minors in 2009, and a 6.19 ERA in just three AAA starts. He's struggled with baserunners both before and after surgery, posting WHIPs of 2.298, 1.779 and 1.314 over the last three seasons. The 137 innings he's already pitched this season are more than twice and nearly three times as many as he's ever pitched in a pro season.

Meanwhile, Manny Parra (7-8, 6.26) takes the mound today for the Brewers, looking for his fifth straight win. Somehow, the Brewers are 4-1 in his last five starts despite the fact that he's only pitched past the sixth inning one time and posted a 5.04 ERA in that time. David Eckstein is the only Padre with significant experience against him, and has gone 0-for-4 with three walks for the rare .000/.375/.000 line.

If you're waiting to see Escobar's first 2009 AB today, you may be waiting a while as he's starting at the bottom of the order (h/t Tyler Barnes):

Felipe Lopez 2B
Craig Counsell 3B
Ryan Braun LF
Prince Fielder 1B
Mike Cameron CF
Jody Gerut RF
Mike Rivera C
Manny Parra P
Alcides Escobar SS

Every arm in the bullpen has pitched in the last two days, and three guys have been used twice in that time:

Claudio Vargas pitched 1.2 innings (26 pitches) last night, and also pitched on Tuesday.
Todd Coffey
pitched .2 innings (19 pitches) last night, and also pitched on Tuesday.
Mitch Stetter
faced three batters (14 pitches) last night, and also pitched on Tuesday.
Trevor Hoffman
pitched one inning (8 pitches) last night.
Jesus Colome
 pitched 1.2 innings (23 pitches) Tuesday.
Mark DiFelice pitched .2 innings (22 pitches) Tuesday.
David Weathers pitched one inning (17 pitches) Tuesday.

Enjoy the game!

go brewers

today is the beginning of Escobar’s hall of fame career!

by keephopealive on Aug 13, 2009 12:16 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

I hope you are right

But I don’t think his stick is quite ready for the majors. His .298/.353/.409/.762 AAA line doesn’t look very exciting when you translate it to the majors. I’d be happy if he can keep his OBP north of .320

What are the chances that Escobar boots his first play at short?

He had a .975 fielding percentage in Nashville this season at short

So that’s roughly 1-in-40 odds. :-)

Go Brewers!

And go to a participating Dairy Queen and buy a Blizzard. They’ll donate a dollar to Children’s Miracle Network. Basically an excuse to feel even better about getting an extra large blizzard.

i'm guessing more for a larger size?

or based on the flavors that they don’t have to pay so much for the right-of-naming (ie, their peanut buster might be cheaper than their rhesus peanut butter cup blizzard just because of licensing)

there’s a place called “home delivery pizza pub”. I wonder what they serve

It makes sense I think

Get him on base and running with people who make good contact after him, without putting him in the position where he can be hugely detrimental to the offense if he doesn’t hit well.

my most recent response was not "pissingmatchish"

i was deferring to his judgement.

people who are good in math and trig tend to go into something like physics or civil engineering because they intuitively “get” things better spatially than most.

Don't forget...

They still have to pay Bill Hall’s salary even though he’s not on the team… they don’t exactly have money to waste.

I think by "our ownership," he meant the Pirates.

Payroll

“We really tried to get a couple of major starting pitchers at the trade deadline. It didn’t happen. It would have been a significant increase in payroll”
-Mark A

Hey thanks three million fans for showing up, but we’re gonna continue to run out these shitty pitchers b/c we don’t have the money for good ones. But keep showing up to watch the Padres put up 13 runs.

I shouldn’t be so bitter, this is a great game.

captainbok: What do you like the most about milwaukee

Jeff Suppan: Captain Bok, that is a great question. Does "Bok" mean Book of Knowledge? My favorite thing about Milwaukee are the Brewers.
