Follow the jump for the usual stuff.

Star-divide

Ricky Nolasco (4-4, 4.65) is coming off his shortest outing of the season, a 4 inning, 64 pitch performance on Thursday against the Braves, where he allowed three runs on eight hits. He doesn't walk many (three opposing batters in 28.1 innings in May), but he will give up long balls in bunches: He's allowed multiple home runs in three of his ten starts.

Nolasco's velocity is down this season (90.1 mph on his average fastball, down from 91.5 last season, and he's throwing a splitter more (11.4% of the time now - it's a pitch he didn't even have three seasons ago). His curve and slider are both above average, but his fastball and splitter are below. No Brewers have faced Nolasco ten times, but Prince Fielder is 0-for-3 with four walks, and Rickie Weeks is 4-for-5 with a walk, a triple and a home run.

Meanwhile, Dave Bush (1-5, 5.05) could really use a good start to turn things around after a bad May. He didn't allow an earned run his last time out, but allowed two runs on four hits and three walks and was only able to last five innings. He posted a 5.64 ERA in five starts in May. He's made five quality starts in ten tries, but the Brewers are just 2-8 with him on the mound.

As for stuff, you've probably heard it before: Bush's velocity is way down (85.7 mph on his average fastball, down from 87.9 last season), he's throwing his slider and curve more and his cutter less, and all five pitchers are below average. Five Marlins have faced him ten times:

Player PA AVG OBP SLG OPS
Jorge Cantu 19 .263 .263 .526 .789
Dan Uggla 15 .385 .467 .769 1.236
Mike Lamb 13 .077 .077 .077 .154
Hanley Ramirez 12 .333 .500 .444 .944
Ronny Paulino 11 .091 .091 .364 .455

 

Via Tyler Barnes on Twitter, here's today's lineup:

Rickie Weeks 2B
George Kottaras C
Ryan Braun LF
Prince Fielder 1B
Casey McGehee 3B
Corey Hart RF
Jim Edmonds CF
Alcides Escobar SS
Dave Bush P

And in the bullpen:

Jeff Suppan pitched 1 innings (11 pitches) yesterday, and also pitched on Sunday.
Carlos Villanueva pitched .1 innings (18 pitches) yesterday
Trevor Hoffman pitched 1 inning (15 pitches) Sunday
Zach Braddock pitched 1 inning (37 pitches) Sunday
Todd Coffey pitched 2.1 innings (29 pitches) Saturday
John Axford pitched 1 inning (14 pitches) Saturday
Kameron Loe joined the team today, and last pitched for Nashville on Thursday.

Enjoy the game!

Not as bad as I thought, actually

Gallardo and Wolf are tied for third in walks, Villanueva’s tied for second in HBP, and Bush is fifth-to-last in ERA+, second-to-last in WHIP, fifth-to-last in H/9, and third-to-last in K/BB.

And, of course, Hoffman is fourth-to-last in pitching WAR, posting a -1.3 in 16 measly innings.

It's great to see the hitters give Bush a real boost here

This is a common and aggravating theme. The Brewers starter gives up early runs, but no insurmountable. The hitters let the starting pitcher go 7 innings and then belt a few runs home in the 8th and 9th when the bullpen has already given up 4 runs in the 6th inning to put the game out of reach. The Brewers are just a bad baseball team, aren’t they? This is depressing.

I give up

until such time that there is a major change somewhere to give me hope, I give up…

That's my morning ritual.

A cup of coffee while opening up BCB with hopes for a thread with 300 recs.

recs are more reliable than comments. See BUCKS

Great, Hart is doing arm circles in the dugout, looks like he's banged up.

BA is referencing the diving attempt last inning.

i'd like to know the team era

in innings 6-8 this year. My O/U would be 17.50

by minnebrew on Jun 1, 2010 8:16 PM CDT reply actions  

94 ER in 155 IP

5.46 ERA – par for the course

Failure is just success rounded down.

by TheJay on Jun 1, 2010 8:24 PM CDT up reply actions  

If you include the disaster that is the 9th inning

It jumps to 6.10 (131 in 193 1/3).

Failure is just success rounded down.

and i actually bought the thought that

the pitching was improved in the offseason

There once was a man from San Diego
Whose pitching Dan Patrick called ‘en fuego’
He threw fine for a year
And then it became clear
It was time for Melvin to say ‘hey – go.’

His credibility had collapsed like Canseco

There once was pitcher named Trevor
Whose change up made him look clever
He grew very old
and his change up went cold
Now he’s looking for a new endeavor.

Yes

some good luck!

Should've have sent Hart in to score

Zapped all of Craiggers’ power

Should not have, rather

Wow,

Man

That was impressive

How is it

Possible that this guy sucks.

by McCzen on Jun 1, 2010 8:36 PM CDT via mobile reply actions  

Indications are that he doesn't.

Career xFIP 4.52 with a 4.17 in 2008 with the rangers. Nothing in his peripherals jumps out as begging for regression in the wrong direction. As long as he hasn’t lost much since ‘08 I expect he’ll be average.

by levnclf on Jun 1, 2010 8:40 PM CDT up reply actions  

at this point

i’d take average

You are the worst possible fill in for Kate Bilo.

How is it possible you can be a TV meteorologist who doesn’t know not to stand in front of the forecast you’re discussing?

Strike three called

Why, oh why do the Brewer batters swing early in the first innings and take the pitches in the late innings?

by PlusorMinusThree on Jun 1, 2010 8:39 PM CDT reply actions  

4 k's for weeks

I just looked at Hoffman's ERA

I can’t believe he it’s still above 10. Doug Melvin needs to be fired the moment the trade deadline passes. They can bring in exorcists before the new guy comes in.
