PrintMilwaukee Brewers at Arizona Diamondbacks, May 9, 2010 3:10 PM CDT
Rolling, Rolling, Rolling, see those Brewers Rolling. This afternoon the Brewers are going to be playing game three of their series with the Diamondbacks, of which they won the first two.
Can Chris Narveson bring home the Mother's Day victory? Can Jody Gerut get his 2nd cycle in 2 days? Both seem unlikely, but the Brewers are rolling

Milwaukee Brewers Sunday, May 9, 2010, 3:10 PM CDT Mostly sunny. Winds blowing out to right field at 20-25 m.p.h. Game time temperature around 90. |
||
You know the drill, troops: pitching match-ups, line-ups, and a carnation for Mom, after the jump.
The Brewers send Chris Narveson (2-0, 6.00) to the hill today. The NarveDog put on a clinic entitled "How To Pitch With A Big Lead" in his last start, going six innings and giving up just three runs after being handed a nine-run, second-inning cushion against the Dodgers. Narveson faced the Diamondbacks once in 2009; it was NarveDog's first start of the year, and he went 3 innings and gave up two earned runs while fanning two. SMALL SAMPLE SIZE ALERT: there are three Diamondbacks who have an OPS of 3.000 against Narveson. Of course, two of those players have faced Narveson twice, and the other has a single plate appearance against Chris.
The Snakes counter with former Yankee Ian Kennedy (2-1, 3.65), who came to Arizona in the Granderson - Scherzer - Jackson - Coke extravaganza deal last winter. Kennedy has been very good in his last three outings, going 8 against the Phillies in a 3-2 loss, 8 against the Cubs in a 13-5 D-backs romp, and 6.2 against the Astros in a game the Snakes eventually won, 1-0. Kennedy's been susceptible to the long ball this season, surrendering seven taters in his six starts. Gregg Zaun is the only current Brewer who's faced Kennedy; he's drawn a walk in three trips to the plate.
Today's line-up, via Adam McCalvy:
2B Rickie Weeks
SS The Deity
LF Ryan Braun
1B Prince Fielder
3B Casey McGehee
C Gregg Zaun
CF Jody Gerut
RF Corey Hart (ouch)
P Chris Narveson
Out in the 'pen:
Todd Coffey pitched 1 inning (13 pitches) Friday, and also threw on Wednesday and Tuesday.
LaTroy Hawkins and his weakened shoulder got stashed on the DL after the game yesterday.
Mitch Stetter should be available today; he last threw for the Sounds on Thursday, going 1.2 innings (24 pitches) against Round Rock.
Jeff Suppan pitched 2 innings (27 pitches) Thursday and 1 inning on Wednesday.
Carlos Villanueva pitched 2 innings (24 pitches) Friday.
Manny Parra pitched 2 innings (21 pitches) yesterday.
Claudio Vargas pitched 1 inning (20 pitches) yesterday.
Trevor Hoffman pitched 1 inning (12 pitches) and picked up a save Friday.

Red Cubs game is pretty intresting
Cubs getting 1 hit into the 7th score 3 runs with 2 outs to take lead then Reds come back in bottom of the 7th scoring 3 with 2 outs to take lead back.
Wish they both could lose but I will take a Cub loss ;)

I asked this in yesterday’s minor league thread but it may have been buried at the bottom of the front page by that point, but does anyone know when Jeremy Jeffress’ suspension ends? It seems like it should have been over by now.

The Triple Crown? The Grand Slam in either Tennis or Golf?
What begins in fear usually ends in folly.
by Ted Simmons Speed Camp on May 9, 2010 4:05 PM CDT up reply actions
Either of those imply dominance of your sport, though.
The cycle is just one very successful and somewhat odd day.
If a player goes 4-for-7 with two doubles and two home runs today, it’ll also be seen as a great day but it won’t draw half as much notice, despite the fact that said player will have done more to help his team.
Now that's great tasting chicken!
It's just a longer time period though...
… relatively lots of players have “career slams” in either golf or tennis, but the press would go ape shit if they ran off a slam in one calendar year. When Woods got his over the course of two years, they invented the phrase “Tiger Slam” (which they’d probably rephrase now) because it wasn’t a “true” grand slam since he didn’t manage to pull it off in a single year.
It’s kind of the same notion, i think, just on a slightly longer and grander scale.

It's more rare than a no-hitter
There have been 264 no-hitters and 289 cycles, but obviously there are 18 opportunities for a cycle in a given game and only 2 opportunities for a no-hitter.

I'm not saying it's not rare.
Just that it’s a somewhat weird thing to get this excited about.

True
A no-hitter is basically just a quirk too though. Like you said above, no hits but two walks is less effective than a one hit shutout.

Now that's great tasting chicken!
I don’t think anyone celebrating Gerut’s cycle is implying he played an instrumental role in deciding yesterday’s game either, considering the Brewers scored 17 runs. It’s just a rare occurrence that’s kind of cool, like a no-hitter.

What’s the record for fewest pitches in a complete game giving up 2+ runs (in the modern era)? Kennedy’s going to get pretty close.

My goodness.

Did Rock really just say we want Hawkins in the form he was earlier this year?
Number of TWSS's uttered on BCB since May 9, 2010: 3
He started the season pretty dominant

So much for the dreaded west coast road trip.
I would gladly take 5-5 or 6-4 on any road trip let alone a west coast one.
Usually they blow the season out west
this year they might have not saved the season but they didn’t blow it
kumbaya my lord kumbaya :)
6-4 on any roadtrip is a successfull.
If you can just go 41-41 on the road most years you will be a playoff team.
6-4 on the west coast is a miracle
Really needed it too.

Was at the local Pick and Save
When the base running thing came up on game day on my phone. I must have stood for a couple of minutes in the aisle trying to figure out what had happen the game day description read like stereo instructions it was so long. lol. I am guessing first running ran up the back of the other two guys at 3rd?
kumbaya my lord kumbaya :)
Suppan is warming up
So…possible save situation coming up.

Is it wrong that I feel comfortable with a 5 run lead and Suppan coming in?
Applying Simpsons and Star Wars quotes to Brewers discussions since 2009.
Cool!!!
I am going to 3 games on the next home-stand and would love for the chance to see #600. If Hoffy gets a save here there is a faint chance for #600 at the end of the next home stand.
St Louis like question
What do the unwritten rules of baseball say about running when 5 runs up? How big does the lead have to be to force you to stop stealing bases?
kumbaya my lord kumbaya :)

You gotta be kidding me
Hanson and Hudson to start the Braves series? Thankfully the Braves can’t hit.

They're already tempted
Hanson vs. Davis and Hudson vs. Bush is a bad joke by the immortalized deity of Ted Williams.
Ty Cobb is one who jinxed their offense.

We'll be fine
I watched Soup throw an 8-inning shutout against them when they still had Teixeira and when Chipper could still hit for average.

He's being deported as we speak
Has no value to his team. The guy who hit the tapper back to the mound is right behind him.

when do they just cut him and bring up a real pitcher
sunk cost and all that
kumbaya my lord kumbaya :)
we are getting close
if you can’t use him in this situation when can you use him?
Get well soon Ueck
Anddd
Time to hand this one over to Trevor.
Shame on those who felt comfortable with Soup on the mound. No lead is sacred with him.

Correction: I felt comfortable that Hoffman would be brought in before Suppan lost it.
And that Hoffman can finish it.

Remember that one game in 2008?
Brewes up 6-0 in the bottom on the ninth against the Dbacks. And they lost. I’m having bad flashbacks.
My goodness.
Not gonna happen.

After that game
I refused to ride the 58 bus in Madison for over a month, I was so unhappy with Guillermo Mota. I called it my Mota-torium.
You've got a couple screws missin' up in your toolbox, if you think that you'll stop this man from hittin' moonshots.
hey remember that time that suppan was an awful pitcher?
i'm fighting all the french people i can find. happy cinco de mayo!
Im in shock
Did suppan just get out of that?
Every man must believe in something, I believe I'll have another drink.
Everyone assumed that since was a veteran pitcher that he knew that.

He is so gritty and old
that he is suffering from memory lapses and he forgets the point of the game from time to time.
Ahh the FSM touches the Brewers with his noodely appendage
Praise be un to him

I guess I'll take the win
I was wondering if we’d see Macha take off Suppan’s jersey before he made it to the dugout and hand him his pinkslip. The could’ve made him exit through the front door with all the fans.
i would say it was a mixture of....
Wtf and lol

Did he recognize it as an Office reference?

The starting pitching is solid...
…the bats are alive and grinding runs, the bullpen is closing out games – all of a sudden this looks like a pretty dangerous team
The greatest danger is to the fans.
And Gorman. Poor dog, he doesn’t like it when the bullpen implodes.
