More stuff after the break.
This afternoon the Brewers have their work cut out for them, as they will face Colorado starter Ubaldo Jimenez, who is having as good as a season pitching that a guy named Ubaldo could ever hope for. Actually he is having a good season for guys named Walter, Three-Finger, Lefty, Tom, Dick or Harry, and even Cy.
Jiminez will be working for his18th win today, which would be a franchise record for the Rockies. In his last start, Jiminez gave the Rockies every opportunity to collect the win, however the Rockies bats were shut out in a 1-0 loss against the Mets.

The Brewers will counter with the enigmatic southpaw Manny Parra. As a starter, Parra has been far from enigmatic to hitters, as they have roughed Manny up for over 6 runs per 9 innings. Parra has failed to complete the 5th inning in 8 of his last 9 starts, and has only pitched more than 6 innings once this season, so get ready to cheer on your favorite bullpen pitcher this afternoon!

Speaking of the bullpen, here are these guys...
Kameron Loe threw 2 pitches Friday.
John Axford pitched 2 innings (33 pitches) yesterday.
Zach Braddock pitched 0.1 innings (21 pitches) Friday.
Todd Coffey pitched 0.2 innings (22 pitches) Wednesday.
Dave Riske pitched 1 inning (15 pitches) Wednesday.
Trevor Hoffman pitched 1 inning (12 pitches) Wednesday.
Chris Capuano pitched 1 inning (13 pitches) Friday.
Mike McClendon pitched 3 innings (33 pitches) yesterday.
A nice note about Mike McClendon who made his MLB debut last night. McClendon became the first Brewer pitcher to retire the first nine batters that he faced in a single game. No Brewer pitcher has ever retired the first 10 batters he faced to start his career.
The Lineup...
Weeks 2b
Hart RF
Braun LF
Fielder 1b
McGehee 3b
Dickerson CF
Escobar SS
Kottaras C
Parra P

Yeah, a what, 2 game slump?
They might just be taking it slow with Cain, who knows.

Tough righty?
Or maybe Macha’s just trying to see what he has in Dickerson before he goes on the Jody Gerut 5-AB-a-week plan once Gomez gets back.
this sucks

Quite surprised
to find out one of our national sports radio stations over here in the UK is having MLB on tonight and I’m guessing that it’ll be every Sunday now for the rest of the season. They did the same for American football last season. We used to get one late night baseball game a week on mainstream TV before they decided not to renew their contract (although if you pay you can get ESPN) so its good that there appears to be enough of an interest at present.
Of course, how many people want to watch considering the casual sports fan would be listening/watching to USPGA tonight and the fact its Giants vs Padres…
"I hope your name is Rick"
Wow
Small K zone. That doesn’t bode well for Manny…
At least we’re taking advantage of it. Gotta work Jimenez.

Jimenez has been pretty good this season, but outside his win-loss record, he’s not leading many categories anymore. That’s why you don’t award guys for 1st half efforts.

Yeah, which is pretty darn impressive
In terms of WHIP, strikeouts, and IP, he’s kinda falling behind. I’m thinking this race is gonna come down to Halladay and Wainwright, they have been pretty insane.
Halladay’s K:BB ratio is insane. He’s struck out 175 (most in the NL), and walked only 22. He’s walking just under a batter per start, that’s outstanding.

True
For once this is not a collaborative effort.
Not that it would’ve mattered much in that AB, but there was at least one strike that should’ve been a ball in C-Dick’s AB, who looks overmatched today.
I’m just tired of this, if they can train new refs in the NBA, they can train new umps in the MLB. They have been increasingly getting worse and worse the past few years, and are showing way more attitude than they should be.
If a manager or player gets in your face, then you can fight back. If not, keep your mouth shut.

Parra's a reliever, not a starter.

…damn premature “enter”.

maybe it's time to teach him a 2-seam fastball?
he seems to get shelled when he throws his fastballs. it certainly made CC Sabathia pitch better
Thank god.
I can’t wait till we expand the rosters so we can see some other guys like Rivas get this experience every 5th day. It just seems wasted on Parra now.
"I signed with the Milwaukee Braves for three-thousand dollars. That bothered my dad at the time because he said he didn't have that kind of dough." - Ueck
I'd be surprised
If they have Rivas or someone else make Parra’s starts to close out the year. They’re giving him enough rope to hang himself for a reason, IMO.
Besides, that would mean that Melvin/Macha admitted to making a mistake
I’m still shocked they cut Suppan.
2009 BCBallers Fantasy Football Champion - Y'all got beat by a girl, you know that?
Yeah well, I don't think we wont see them at all
But probably not in Parra’s starts all the time. Bottom line is it’s time to move on.

i'm not entirely sure whether to move on
it took Sandy Koufax 6 years to put up ace numbers. Although not much of a headcase as Parra, Koufax also had command issues. Just like Parra

Parra ≠ Koufax
I’d say of anyone is having a Koufax like progression after control issues early in their career, it’s Cliff Lee.

Fair enough
But how many pitchers who have put up Parra-esque numbers and had command issues eventually ended up becoming Sandy Koufax and how many, quite rightly, ended up in AAA?
The way I look at it:
1) If we kept him on for next season odds are we’d be stuck at this time next year having the same debate.
2) If you’d asked at the start of the season what it would take for Parra to deserve a spot for next season you’d be suggesting significantly more than what he has shown so far.
I’ve always had a soft spot for Parra and would like to believe he can turn it around, but I’ve pretty much run out of patience.
"I hope your name is Rick"
Yeah, I know
that is why i’m not committed to any side. I’m not entirely supporting the Parra experiment and I’m not entirely committed to supporting the anti-Parra theme. I’m just stuck in between

I bet
a rookie starter wouldn’t be getting the absurd zone that Ubaldo is getting today
"I've been banging a lot of bratwurst lately".
Uecker during the 8th inning of his first game back
Unlike Telly Hughes, I wouldn't exactly call this a great game for Jimenez
He benefited from a moving strike zone to benefit his wildness, and a bunch of missed calls, a manager who outwits himself on the other side.
Off 10 hits, we should’ve had more than 3 runs.

Two GIDP for McGehee today, 3 K's in 3 AB for Dickerson
That about sums up how we only have 3 runs off 10 hits. Oh, and the umpire sucks something awful.

Good thing
Cain didn’t play instead of Dickerson.

You have to play them both
you can’t just evaluate one of the players. No excuse for Braun & Hart to still be playing every day.

Exactly
They should start rotating through them. Kinda done with the whole cute little “we could make a big run” stuff, let’s start seeing who is valuable to this team and who isn’t.

Dear Brewers,
Just once, I’d like one of the players that I get behind to not be terrible.
Love, Mykenk.
http://www.twitter.com/mykenk
ouch
you and I do not like the same players.
"I've been banging a lot of bratwurst lately".
Uecker during the 8th inning of his first game back
No?
I like Cain, if that’s what you’re referring to. I’d like to see Dickerson and Cain both playing 4 days a week at least.
http://www.twitter.com/mykenk
okay
I have a very unhealthy man crush on Cain, so we can agree on that. But I really dislike Gomez.

Yes.
We know Dexter Fowler is a better OF than Ryan Braun. Thanks for that.

Dickerson
Seems very happy for someone who a) just had a home run robbed, b) blatantly was being ignored by everyone in the dugout…

I can see not using Lucroy
If only because he’s the other catcher, and if we go further in to the game and Kotarras gets hurt and he already hit, then we’d be in a pickle.
But why not Cain? o.O

Counsell's fast enough.

He blew up after making an error, then couldn’t finish the 6th. Macha actually saved him from himself there, I think.
