PrintMilwaukee Brewers at St. Louis Cardinals, Jun 4, 2010 7:15 PM CDT
In an alternate reality, this might have been the series where the Brewers proved they're for real and expanded their lead in the NL Central by taking two of three from the defending division champs.
In this reality, though, they're just looking to avoid falling ten games behind.

Follow the jump for tonight's pitching matchup and more!
Adam Wainwright (2.28 ERA, 2.72 FIP) enters tonight's game among the NL leaders in WAR (2.4), ERA (2.28), WHIP (1.013), hits per nine (6.72), K/9 (8.77), innings pitched (79), and complete games (2). He's posted a quality start in ten of his eleven appearances this season, and has allowed two or fewer earned runs in nine of them. He hasn't faced the Brewers yet this season, but owns a 2.25 ERA over 84 innings (eleven starts and seven relief appearances) against them for his career. He posted a 1.24 ERA against the Crew in five starts last season.
Wainwright throws a 90.6 mph average fastball, but doesn't use it often, just 42.7% of the time. He relies heavily on a slider, curve and change and all of them are good: FanGraphs estimates their values at +2.47, +3.07 and +1.88 runs per 100 pitches, respectively. Six current Brewers have faced him ten times or more:
| Player | PA | AVG | OBP | SLG | OPS |
| Prince Fielder | 37 | .214 | .405 | .357 | .763 |
| Ryan Braun | 34 | .226 | .294 | .452 | .746 |
| Corey Hart | 31 | .258 | .258 | .387 | .645 |
| Rickie Weeks | 22 | .167 | .318 | .278 | .596 |
| Craig Counsell | 20 | .300 | .300 | .400 | .700 |
| Casey McGehee | 10 | .111 | .200 | .111 | .311 |
Randy Wolf (4.46 ERA, 5.02 FIP) has been a bit of a mystery lately: In six starts in May he provided three quality starts (including one seven inning shutout performance) but also a disaster start (6 ER in 5 IP) and another near disaster (6 ER in 6.1 IP). He's allowing a lot of baserunners lately: He has a 1.700 WHIP in his last seven starts. The Brewers are 2-5 with him on the mound over that stretch.
Wolf's velocity remains down a bit this season: His average fastball was 89 mph last season, but is just 87.8 this year. On the season, all four of his pitches (fastball, slider, curve and change) are below average, but the slider is only slightly so, at -0.04 runs per 100. Six current Cardinals have faced him ten times or more:
| Player | PA | AVG | OBP | SLG | OPS |
| Felipe Lopez | 27 | .320 | .370 | .440 | .810 |
| Jason LaRue | 26 | .261 | .346 | .478 | .824 |
| Albert Pujols | 23 | .350 | .391 | .550 | .941 |
| Matt Holliday | 21 | .263 | .333 | .579 | .912 |
| Ryan Ludwick | 16 | .167 | .313 | .167 | .479 |
| Yadier Molina | 13 | .231 | .231 | .462 | .692 |
Lineups:
| Milwaukee Brewers | St. Louis Cardinals |
| Rickie Weeks 2B | Felipe Lopez 2B |
| Ryan Braun LF | Ryan Ludwick RF |
| Prince Fielder 1B | Albert Pujols 1B |
| Casey McGehee 3B | Matt Holliday LF |
| Jim Edmonds CF | David Freese 3B |
| Corey Hart RF | Yadier Molina C |
| George Kottaras C | Colby Rasmus CF |
| Randy Wolf P | Brendan Ryan SS |
| Alcides Escobar SS | Adam Wainwright P |
The bullpen combined for 4.1 scoreless innings last night, hopefully they won't be needed that much again today:
Kameron Loe pitched 2.1 innings (26 pitches) yesterday.
Zach Braddock pitched 1 inning (21 pitches) yesterday.
Trevor Hoffman pitched 1 inning (14 pitches) yesterday.
John Axford pitched 1.2 innings (25 pitches) Wednesday.
Carlos Villanueva pitched .1 innings (11 pitches) Wednesday.
Jeff Suppan pitched 1 inning (11 pitches) Monday.
Todd Coffey pitched 2.1 innings (29 pitches) Saturday.
Enjoy the game!

So what do you guys think will happen with the bullpen
when Hawkins and Davis return? Who’s out?
One man's garbage is another man-person's good ungarbage.
Depends when they come back
It’ll still be a while, so there’s plenty of time for injuries or ineffectiveness to strike.
Failure is just success rounded down.
Think Bruney will make it to the bigs with Milwaukee?

Don't forget when Riske comes off the DL
That’ll be sooner than those 2. In fact, that’s right around the corner.

I think Braddock will be sent down
Bush will start again and Parra will be the lefty in the bullpen.
Failure is just success rounded down.
Doesn't it also require someone to come off the 40-man roster?
Who’s going to be put onto waivers next… Cruz?
Yeah, you're right
I don’t know. I think Cruz’s spot is basically guaranteed because he is a shortstop and they don’t want to risk losing him no matter how remote the possibility because then omg who would play SS at Nashville?! I wonder how attached the front office is to Alex Periard.
Failure is just success rounded down.
This was all your fault
I hope you’re proud.

65,000 beers were consumed during Ten Cent Beer Night, and you could certainly tell from the way the crowd behaved. Nearly every inning was mired with one delay or another: kids deciding to run onto the field, a drunk woman trying to kiss the umpire, a father-son tandem mooning the crowd, streakers running onto the field. Rangers manager Billy Martin briefly pulled his team off the field when the cherry bombs, beers, and garbage thrown from the stands interfered with the game.
Epic!

and if wishing made things so, we would have a vastly different front off and management.

And Suppan would be gone.

I feel like the word 'wish' is not in there anywhere
Or can BCB be translated into douche bag now?
"Also, guys." - Mykenk
thats nitpicking and you know it
saying a guy took one off the ankle is a positive is absolutely being a poor fan.
babip giveth... and babip taketh away
No, nitpicking is when you go over to the opponent's blog
And constantly pick on people for what they say there, then make fun of them back on your blog.

What about fans who troll here?
We’ve been dealing with loud mouthed, moronic Cardinals fans all day. How many Brewers showed up at VEB to troll?
In Pujols’ opinion, and many others, it is disrespectful of the game. Stating such does not make Pujols a hypocrite, because Pujols does not disrespect the game.
I just asked why you guys thought Pujols was a dick...
just a question, which never really got answered.
And I’m sorry Jeff Suppan is on your team. I think he’ll be gone by the solstice.
Tis better to lose bunting than win with dingers alone...
You live up to everything I've come to expect from Card fans.

Oh, it was answered.

I show up at pretty much every opponent's blog
and I pretty much never have anything bad to say, even when they hate us. But that comment was pretty poor form.
babip giveth... and babip taketh away
That said, I don't hate your team
I think Alcides Escobar is a great player and I really look forward to seeing what he can do.
babip giveth... and babip taketh away
Thanks for confirming the stereotype about Cardinals fans.

I would have never known about the players on the team I watch until one the best fans in baseball™ showed up.

I've held off
because nobody’s really been offensive, just irritating, but if you’re going to start an epic argument it will probably be ended for you on this forum. Just pointing that out.
Good point
I wasn’t planning on staying, just wanted to make my point.
Seeya!
babip giveth... and babip taketh away
Seriously though, I don't think I'm better than you.
I think (and so does most of VEB) that the Best Fans in Baseball thing is ridiculous.

I would hope so.

Ryan Braun: He loves it.

As opposed to posting altered 'slow children' signs with Braun on them?
It’s alright to make fun of mentally challenged kids, though isn’t Cards fans?
"Also, guys." - Mykenk
You are, however, making me find a new appreciation for Cubs fans.

The mentally challenged thing?
I didn’t see it. But I don’t think it’s in good taste either.
babip giveth... and babip taketh away
we got it
you love the word poor. Makes sense since you are a fan of DePaul basketball.
Get well soon Ueck
Are you really that butt-hurt over my comment?

Planning a trip down to St Louis to see the 4th of July game
Tonight wife looks across the table and says do you really want to do down there to watch the Brewers lose? lol

"It's a joke. It's all a joke.
It's an official Suppan appearance
He let in two runs, putting the game very safely out of reach….

Melvin Well I would love to cut him Ken
But he has those photos of me from the Xmas party in 08 and you know………

No, see that sounds an awful lot like a goal. And we know this team can't achieve goals...therefore...

I take a few weeks off than go back
Killing time till the New Fallout is released
180 more kills with the Barrett for Veteran 3

and Albert is no pleased
"The Milwaukee Brewers' line score is starting to resemble an international phone number" - Pittsburgh Pirates Radio during 20-0 shutout - 4-22-10
so I'm reading Twin Spica v.1 instead
There’s a scene in the early part of the comic where the protagonist is hanging laundry on the line and she has some sort of hanger with little clips for socks. I want one of those.
(yes, I’m writing the recap, but it’s not helping)
Just put clothes pins on a regular hanger....
"The Milwaukee Brewers' line score is starting to resemble an international phone number" - Pittsburgh Pirates Radio during 20-0 shutout - 4-22-10
or more socks...:)

It really pisses me off
that the Cardinal starters are better in the ninth inning than ours are in the first
Thanks, Doug Melvin!

"The Keepers of Baseball Etiquette" are at it again!
One man's garbage is another man-person's good ungarbage.
That celebration by Molina was WAY out of line and there is no room for that in this sacred sport.

Stay classy, St. Louis. Stay classy.

they haven't done anything offensive yet
just really annoying, but the team we watch every day does enough of that
Isn't the act of trolling enough?

It's not really trolling...
I just asked a question, and another guy took someone to task for wishing an injury on an opposing player. I don’t think that’s trolling.
Tis better to lose bunting than win with dingers alone...
Now that it's been pointed out
You’ve been trolling. I used to feel guilty for reading over there (not posting) during Wellemeyer starts last year when the Brewers weren’t even involved…oh well.
Maybe?
They aren’t being quite as rude as they’d need to be, I think.
It’s hard to even issue a warning, since all that will happen is they will go back to VEB and talk about how rude we all were. But does anyone care?

He's linking to his trolling here.

Recap
Discuss the game, or morineko’s laundry, here…you’re probably better off with the laundry (or the manga collection) than the game.
