Game Thread #-16: Brewers (10-6) at Rangers (5-8)

Baseball...at night? What? Game time is 8:05 for this contest as the Brewers head off to Surprise to do battle with the Rangers. (I could have made that punnier, but I had to resist.)

Lineups and notes after the jump....

Star-divide

Manny Parra is scheduled to start for the Brewers and Tommy Hunter is scheduled to start for the Rangers tonight. There was a B-game at 2:30 this afternoon featuring some of the major-league players, including Dave Bush. As seen in this FanShot, Mat Gamel has a torn latissimus dorsi muscle and will be out six weeks. All the Rangers' minorly dinged-up players appear good to go for today.

Lineups, via Fort Worth Star-Telegram baseball blog:

Brewers Rangers
Weeks 2B Borbon CF
Gomez CF Young 3B
McGehee 3B Hamilton LF
Zaun DH Guerrero DH
Hart RF Murphy RF
Gerut LF Davis 1B
Wilson 1B Arias 2B
Lucroy C Teagarden C
Cruz SS Andrus SS

If you're outside Milwaukee and the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area and enjoy delays, the game will be on MLB Network at 10PM.

If you're unable to follow it anywhere, have a Gameday link.

B-game stuff

box score PDF

Bush’s line: 5 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 3 K

The Rangers lineup today looked like your typical AAA+ sort of thing.

Oh, I get it

I was totally confused at first, thinking that was some bizarre projection thing.

Failure is just success rounded down.

I figured people were curious about Bush

And wanted to point out that he was facing a mostly-legitimate lineup of guys with AAA experience and marginal major leaguers instead of all prospects, all the time.

Cool, the fact they played the Rangers there too confused me

I like the Brewers’ optimism that 3 pitchers would get through nine innings.

starter update!

If you’re not listening to the game already, Guillermo Moscoso will be starting for the Rangers.

Gameday appears to be operating in real time today

so it may be worth a look. In other words, Josh Hamilton hits those home runs a lot, doesn’t he? 2-0 Rangers in the 2nd.

A thought

Your gameday link is nice, but a link to the box score would be nice, too, in cases where Gameday is not real-time.

Also, Luis Cruz got a hit? Freaky.

Failure is just success rounded down.

thanks for the suggestion

I tend to link to the gameday stuff instead of the box, because you can get directly to the box via mlb.com and the Gameday links have to be figured out by hand instead of clicking somewhere.

by morineko on Mar 18, 2010 8:51 PM CDT up reply actions  

Yeah, but I'm lazy

Gameday links are fine.

call me stupid, but

deep down, i’ve always rooted more for parra to turn things around than i have for rickie.

I hear you

I’m waiting to see the game to see what he’s doing with his pitches. I want Weeks to turn it around too but it’s easier to find a replacement second baseman than it is to find a good left-handed starting pitcher.

Marquette just lost

that explains where everyone is

it’s very quiet in here.

(I went to Iowa State and am not from the Milwaukee area. I was watching the Yankees instead.)

that reminds me of what a patient told me today

while he was watching the st. mary’s game:

“man, my brackets be all fucked up.”

Big East might be a tad over-hyped

When there is a scuffle in Ireland, there’s no need to specifically mention in the news story that alcohol was involved

Inglett in at short, according to posters at LSB. Since I know how the ST broadcasting operates (What substitutions?) and Gameday is of course stuck, I thought I’d let you know.

by morineko on Mar 18, 2010 9:29 PM CDT reply actions  

Cruz replaces Weeks at 2nd and Heether in for McGehee. Parra still in there, and giving up massive extra-base hits to Taylor Teagarden.

by morineko on Mar 18, 2010 9:33 PM CDT up reply actions  

Did Gomez get in the way of Gerut?

I wish he’d learn not to do that. He’d get in Delmon Young’s way all the time last year.

It's tough to stop when you move that FAST

the Brewers are having an astounding amount of Ks tonight

Were they told to swing at everything tonight? Or are Moscoso and Harrison just that good?

by morineko on Mar 18, 2010 9:45 PM CDT reply actions  

game's on TV

so far in the top of the first, as a Brewers fan I’m not liking what I’m seeing. However, for an unexpected start, Moscoso was really bringing it out there—decent pitching will always beat impatient hitting. I’m afraid Gomez hasn’t changed his habits much from his days with Minnesota.

by morineko on Mar 18, 2010 10:09 PM CDT reply actions  

Has Parra been wearing high socks the rest of ST?

I know he quit doing it last year, but now he’s back doing it.

by morineko on Mar 18, 2010 10:12 PM CDT reply actions  

What was Gomez doing?

He’s fast. But not that fast.
