Gamethread #-23: Rockies (6-5) @ Brewers (4-6); Brewers @ White Sox (4-4)


Today we get a double dose of Brewers fun after our beloved Brewers crushed the Cubs is what was a key win for the Crews chances this season.  Next up to go down:  The Colorado Rockies and The Chicago White Sox

Hie thee yonder past the jump, ye wandering soul, for pitching notes, lineups, and wonderful discussion about today's game!

Star-divide

For the Brewers today, Manny Parra (11-11, 6.36 ERA in 2009) and Dave Bush (5-9, 6.38 ERA) will be starting against the Rockies and White Sox, respectively.  This is sort of a big day for both of them as, along with one of the most overpaid players in baseball, they are in competition to win one of two remaining spots in the Brewers starting rotation.  Neither one of them pitched extremely well in their first spring training games, though Bush allowed only one run and Parra didn't give up any.

And here are the Brewers lineups today:

Against White Sox Against Rockies
Gomez (8) Weeks (4)
Inglett (4) Escobar (6)
Braun (7) Gerut (8)
Edmonds (9) Fielder (3)
McGehee (5) Hart (9)
Zaun (DH) Diety (5)
Kottaras (2) Oeltjen (7)
Wilson (3) Treanor (2)
Luis Cruz (6) Parra (1)

 

Good news!  Gerut is in CF and Edmonds is in RF!  Bad news: They aren't in the same game.
And originally Iribarren was supposed to start against the White Sox. Luis Cruz replaced him

Luis Cruz

is supposed to start in place of the Hurricane, methinks.

He's still 0-for the spring.

0-for-14 so far. Iribarren was expected to play all day today, so he could get 4-5 more PAs.

That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.

Here's a universal truth to never ignore.

Most people love their pets, but a segment of people really, really love their pets.

Besides

I’m learning something about laser treatment for dogs.

I wish I called in.

My dog seems hasn’t been himself the past couple days. He can barely get on the couch and he didn’t even want to go for a walk yesterday. I’m pretty concerned.

by BrewHaHeather on Mar 13, 2010 3:16 PM CST up reply actions  

Sorry to hear that.

Moments like that are the reason the vet’s on speed dial on my cell phone.

Not to worry you any more

But it kind of sounds like something that happened to my cat last year. She got really lethargic and barely moved around at all (even to cat standards). One night I woke up and she had fallen off the water heater she was sleeping on, getting caught between the wall and the heater and couldn’t get herself out. We took her to the vet and it turned out she had some kind of rare disease, so we had to put her down. It was a disease only a cat can get, I think, but if this keeps up with your dog, I would say get him to the vet sooner than later.

He seems to be a little better today,

but not himself yet. Hopefully he’ll be better tomorrow otherwise I’ll have to take him to the vet.

Anyone else's audio suddenly dead?

Mid-commercial for me.

Nice first inning for Manny

Went right after hitters, got through with no trouble.

maybe

it’s Bernie Brewer

Q: Did you ever scout Corey Hart? What seems to be holding him back from being a good hitter for AVG?

A: The slider away. And that facial hair.

He's definitely not

He’s likely on loan from minor league camp for the split squad day.

by Kyle Lobner on Mar 13, 2010 4:29 PM CST up reply actions  

Right on.

I was going to say, he didn’t really seem like a guy who earned a shot at big league camp, yet.

by NoahJ on Mar 13, 2010 4:30 PM CST up reply actions  

Schoeneweis gives up the lead.

Seems like nobody can hold a lead for any length of time.

by NoahJ on Mar 13, 2010 4:03 PM CST up reply actions  

I dont think

 that he is going to make the team considering the way he has pitched this spring.
And that was written before the three run HR he just gave up!

by Saltire on Mar 13, 2010 4:06 PM CST up reply actions  

Ugh.

I don’t think he was going to make the team, regardless of how he pitched this spring.

by NoahJ on Mar 13, 2010 4:07 PM CST up reply actions  

True

It makes you wonder why the signed him in the 1st place, it is not as if there is no options for the bull-pen

by Saltire on Mar 13, 2010 4:10 PM CST up reply actions  

so here's the line for Bush

Brewers RHP Dave Bush’s line vs. White Sox: 4 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 4 K
per Haudricourt

what’s Manny’s if anyone has it?

Lorenzo Cain!

Long season last year, followed by a poor AFL performance, but he’s a spring training warrior.

That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.

by Kyle Lobner on Mar 13, 2010 4:57 PM CST reply actions  

Yay Lorenz-y!

Brent Brewer

The fact that he’s playing in spring training games is a pretty significant indictment of the quality of shortstops left in the minors.

That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.

by Kyle Lobner on Mar 13, 2010 5:06 PM CST reply actions  

Back to .500!

Any day where you collect two wins is a pretty good day.
