Game Thread #-11: Brewers (11-9) at Indians (12-5)

PrintDespite having won just one of their last five contests, the Brewers remain one of just five Cactus League teams with a record above .500. Today they travel to Goodyear to face one of the others, the Indians.
Today's game is live on WTMJ and Gameday Audio. Follow the jump for today's pitching matchup, lineup and conversation on today's game!
Jeremy Sowers (0-0, 9.00 this spring, 6-11, 5.25 last season) is making just his second appearance of the spring for the Indians, after pitching just two innings his last time out against the Reds. He's recovering from a shoulder injury and might start the 2010 season on the DL. His only career appearance against the Brewers was last June, when he was tagged with a loss, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks in five innings.
He'll face Dave Bush (0-0, 2.70 this spring, 5-9, 6.38 last season), making just his third Cactus League appearance, and his first since March 13, when he allowed a run on three hits to the White Sox in four innings of work. Bush is probably expected to go around six innings today in one of his last chances to demonstrate his health and effectiveness before roster decisions have to be made for Opening Day.
Via Tyler Barnes, here's today's lineup:
Alcides Escobar SS
Gregg Zaun C
Rickie Weeks 2B
Prince Fielder 1B
Casey McGehee 3B
Jim Edmonds CF
Corey Hart RF
Jody Gerut LF
George Kottaras DH
Enjoy the game!

Mystery announcement
I guess it isn’t that they’re releasing Edmonds, otherwise it wouldn’t make much sense to have him start today.
Ryan Braun: He loves it.

Ah, you're right.
but he was in the lineup the morning that his waiver claim went through.

In that case
I’m guessing they trade Fielder for Roy Halladay, release Suppan, start Edmonds at 1B, and win the World Series.

I don't think there's anything ridiculous about my scenario
but if you insist, McGehee will play 1B and Gamel will start at 3B every 4th day so that Counsell can be the ‘veteran presence’ that Kenneth wants. Or needs.

I will also refer to Kottaras as "Geo" henceforward
But that will only happen every 10 days or so. Since Zaun is a veteran presence behind the plate.

I thought so too.
I wonder how Escobar, Weeks and Hart feel about it.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
To be real honest, I like it something like this on opening day
Escobar
Weeks
Braun(prefer Fielder, but we know how they feel about it)
Fielder(see above)
McGehee
Hart
Zaun
Gomez
Pitcher
Weeks’ power and RBI potential isn’t utilized sitting in the 1 spot (granted you only truly ‘lead off’ in the first AB of the game, unless the opposing pitcher is perfect through 3 innings).

How would we differentiate him from Hoffman, Hawkins, Counsell and Zaun?
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
Good point
Hoffman and Hawkins won’t be in the lineup, so I wasn’t thinking that we’d refer to them very much.
Counsell is already CC, and Zaun is Triple-G.
How about “Grumpy Old Man”?

You might as well call him Ed Gein if you’re gonna do that.

To be honest, at 40 years old, he might benefit from a <100 game season to keep his legs in the outfield fresh.
I'll say it now
I guarantee Edmonds has a better season than Hart.

Define "better"
e.g., Hart will likely take more extra bases that Edmonds.
I don’t necessarily disagree with you, but I’m not sure I understand.
Its just qualifying my starting comment
In the same amount of ABs, I believe Edmonds’ numbers will be better than Hart’s. I also believe that in RF, Edmonds will play a better defense than Hart.
So, better.

Fair enough
What do you think about durability? Could Edmonds put up 140 and 157 starts as Hart did in 2007-2008? It’s hard to believe his fielding numbers would improve over 2009 with 140 games on his 2010 clock.
What do I get when you are wrong?
His numbers are good because he plays almost exclusively with the platoon advantage. In 2008 he had 401 PAs, 52 against LHP. In the last 3 years, Edmonds has put up 479, 631 and 441 OPS against LHP.
If he saw significant playing time against LHP, he would be significantly worse than Hart.

You get smug satisfaction!
But, given the same number of ABs, Edmonds will play better than Hart. That’s my opinion.

Bush's audition?
So is Bush pitching both for a spot on the roster and a spot on someone else’s roster? He looks pretty good at $3.25-$3.5 million / year to me.
I'd agree
When he’s been healthy, Bush has been pretty good. He was awesome from being called back up in the second half of ‘08 until getting hit last season, then he just wasn’t the same pitcher.
At his best, he’s a good number 3.

Soap Box time
“in typical Dave Bush fashion, he continued to pitch after his injury”.
I think its bull that anyone would put that on Bush. I think that the training staff leaves MUCH to be desired (Gamel’s lat tear; Bush’s triceps, I believe Kapler’s lat as well, etc), and I would question the intelligence of placing the blame on a player, rather than the Brewers’ staff.

Sure, he probably shouldn’t have tried to pitch through it, but the training staff gets paid to tell guys when they can’t go. It’s Bush’s job to pitch, the trainers job to tell him when not to.

Training staff
I’ve always been suspect of the Brewers training staff. The smoking gun is Ben Sheets’ lazy ass. However, if a player says he’s good to go then you have to let him pitch. And Bushie’s velocity was not down nor were his mechanics that drastically different.

Would you accept
“However, if a player says he’s good to go” then it’s very difficult to keep him from pitching.

Gameday link?
Its not letting me click on the Brewer link for some reason…I had the same problem yesterday.
So, Corey Hart played in a minor league game and the big league game yesterday, because he wanted more AB's.
But today, they’re pinch running for him in the fifth inning?
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
Maybe he's tired out now?
Or maybe he wants to get more ABs… just not all in one game (i.e. more ABs against different pitchers)?
Otherwise… maybe he tried out his goggles during the minor league game?
Or maybe...
…that is Macha’s super-secret move and had Hart leave early to give him time to clean out his locker.
by Infield Fly Rule on Mar 23, 2010 4:57 PM CDT up reply actions
I did consider that for a moment.
But I’m guessing if Macha had followed Hart into the clubhouse to tell him, someone would have noticed.

the last time I went to McDonalds
I parked my car in the lot of the buisness next door (the drive through line blocked the entrance to the McD lot), walked over, paid for my burger and mcflurry, and was out within 3 minutes. Drive through takes about 5-10 minutes in line, then a few minutes for them to get the order right (for 2 items the previous time. A goddamned 1/4 pounder + a hamburger!!!!), then wait for the fatass in front of you that ordered 20 things for herself, then pull up, pay. Wait for said fatass again, pull up, retrieve food. 15 minutes minimum wasted. If they had an express drive through lane, then perhaps I’d consider it, but most of the time I find service in the store quicker (because no one else does it).

I thought they only let them go 5… at least it seems that way.
