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!
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!
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. :-)

What's with Parra in the 8 hole??
Did I miss a Macha firing, Yost re-hired?
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.
"Cubs suck. I own them" -Doug Davis
Don't know why it's being done yet
But we do know that it’s probably a more optimized lineup; we had a fairly long thread about it in the Frost Mug comments

I caught the end of Macha's pre game press conference.
He got into a little scuffle with TH

Macha sort of thought TH was calling for his head, TH said he was just asking questions.

After everything that happened yesterday...
I’m sure Macha is a bit stressed about his job status. I’m sure the questions from TH were along the lines of “do you think you’re next”.

Are we to infer...
that just because you’re an engineering major (what kind?) that you are able to accurately judge how far a ball travels by only sight?
okay...fair enough
so you used your “batsense trigonometry” engrained or useful to your engineering major to deduce that it would have gone longer than 465. Fair enough.

Warnings to both benches?
Come on, blue. The kid’s got some control issues, clearly, but I don’t think he’s throwing at people.
Right, but he's hit our guys twice.
And our pitcher gets warned? Warn the benches after Parra retaliates (if he even does), not now.
Y'know
I’m ok with the warning in this case. Even if it’s just poor control, if he can’t control his pitches well enough to avoid hitting two guys in three innings, he’s a safety risk, intent or no.

on a brawl during today’s game? both benches warned already
That's right
Braun isn’t worried about his job right now

Ryan Braun shuns your demand for accountability.

if there's one person on this team who should feel completely secure about his job
its Braun

Fitting the 5 game prediction from a couple of days ago perfectly.

Which means the next two games will feature
a loss in a well-pitched game with no offensive support
a gritty victory in a 10-9 type game?
IIRC
They only have three hits today.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
well...i don't think it's supposed to be exactly every 5 games pick on from the hat without replacement
but rather each happens about 20% of the time
by PagsBrewCrew on Aug 13, 2009 1:59 PM CDT up reply actions
I kinda meant every 5 games like that, but
that’s just based on what it’s FELT like the past few weeks.

Somebody did a post about how he rarely swings at pitches outside the strike zone
I think that contributes to how many strikeouts looking he has. Aparently, he literally waits for his pitch

didn't his little league coach tell him
with 2 strikes, you protect the plate – try to hit a foul

Brewers are putting themselves in really good position
For the next few innings when the shadows start to create problems.

speaking of little league
i sense a DFA and little league coach future for the current pitcher in the near future.
Is it just me
Or is Melvin’s laugh menacing and unnerving?

I'm enjoying this Doug Melvin interview a fair amount.
His comment about the replaceable head on the bobblehead was pretty funny.

its nice that we're tacking on the runs
its keeping DM in the booth waaaay longer
Missed it by that much

Yes he does.
And so does everyone else.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
not EVERYONE, just most everyone.
Get him some regular PT, we’ll see his true ability, not sure anyone really knows what that is.
We know what Kendall's ability is
Whatever Rivera’s is, it’s not likely to be worse.

He doesn't strike me as the fishing type.
But he might be on a boat.

he loves fishing
Ive heard it many times. He spent the All-Star Break Up North fishing

It's just because he has to look at the fish the right way to get them to swoon

He’s off on a beach somewhere.

Regardless of what he's doing, I know I'm happy for what he's not doing
Making two outs in big innings.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
that's why AE isn't hitting 8th...
because he would do that…

personally
i would take a day off too, especially if my poor play is at least partially due to me pressing
so, no…i wouldn’t watch my team either.

Rivera's slugging percentage
Has gone from .302 to .415 today.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
I’d love to see Hardy for Matt Capps or something like that, but our ownership is too cheap for even that unfortunately.
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.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
i hate that the padres channel doesnt show this game
im stuck with the USA jump rope championships…

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.
