PrintArizona Diamondbacks at Milwaukee Brewers, Aug 9, 2010 7:10 PM CDT
Tonight is game ten of a 13 game stretch against three of the NL's worst four teams. The Brewers are just 5-4 so far. Can they improve on that record tonight?

Follow the jump for tonight's pitching matchup and more!
Chris Narveson (5.68 ERA, 4.56 FIP) makes his 19th start tonight, and his first since beating the Cubs on Tuesday. In that game he allowed a run on six hits over 5.2 innings, striking out six and walking just one. It'd be nice if he could put July behind him: After posting a 4.15 ERA in June, he ballooned up to 8.17 in July.
Of course, we've all heard about Narveson's first inning struggles, allowing 22 earned runs in the first inning of his 18 starts (an 11.00 ERA). He has been doing a little better with that lately, though: He allowed a first inning run on Tuesday for the first time in four starts. He's facing the Diamondbacks for the second time this season: On May 9, he picked up the win by holding them to a run on three hits over 5.2 innings.
Ian Kennedy (4.40 ERA, 4.94 FIP) has been serviceable if not great while spending his first full major league season with the Diamondbacks. He'll make his 23rd start tonight, and on the season he's been pretty good at limiting hits (8.0 per nine innings) and walks (3.5/9), and he gets enough strikeouts (7.6/9), but he's allowing a lot of home runs (1.6/9). He's coming off a rough start on Wednesday, where he was pulled after allowing four runs on eight hits (including two home runs) to the Nationals in four innings.
A look deeper into the stats might suggest Kennedy has been getting a little lucky this season. Major league hitters are hitting just .266 on balls put in play against him, and it's not because he's keeping the ball on the ground: His GB% is just 35.7. He's facing the Brewers for the second time this season: He matched up against Narveson on May 9 and allowed two runs on six hits over seven innings. No Brewer has faced him more than four times, but Rickie Weeks has doubled, Corey Hart has tripled and Prince Fielder has homered off of him.
Tonight's lineup is interesting, to say the least:
Escobar 9
Counsell 6
Weeks 4
Fielder 3
McGehee 5
Cain 8
Inglett 7
Lucroy 2
Narveson 1
And in the bullpen:
David Riske pitched 1 inning (18 pitches) yesterday.
John Axford pitched 1 inning (15 pitches) yesterday.
LaTroy Hawkins pitched 1 inning (13 pitches) yesterday.
Kameron Loe pitched .2 innings (11 pitches) Saturday.
Zach Braddock pitched .1 innings (5 pitches) Saturday.
Todd Coffey pitched .1 innings (3 pitches) Saturday.
Trevor Hoffman pitched 1 inning (8 pitches) Saturday.
Chris Capuano hasn't pitched since Wednesday.

I was thinking about getting stuff done around the house tonight, maybe working out...
but then I saw that Escobar will be starting in RF and now I’ll be in front of the TV all night.

Watching the Reds/Cards game
Carpenter has to be one tight wound dude. One time he freaked out because Carlos Lee got upset after popping up. Today, he lectured Brendan Ryan on how to play the game the right way between innings.
not possible
that doesn’t lead enough important roles for the other cards, like pujols and larussa. unless you can have 9 jesuses…
Carpenter is Sea Man
Maybe he should play first base instead. That is, he should lie out there and we can step on him when we get a hit.

Understand most of the buyouts
Just curious what Riske’s contract is for if not bought out. If it’s not too bad I wouldn’t mind having him back, that is unless they can buy him out and then resign him for cheaper.

He would need 172 days of service to do so
He would have had to be called up in mid-April. April 15, I believe, since the season ends October 3.

I'm just trying to figure out when a) his coach decides it's not worth keeping him out there or b) the ump decides he's sufficiently out of control to seriously hurt someone.
I’ve no doubt he doesn’t mean it as that would be too obvious. Unless he’s craftily planning on beaning every one in the lineup…

Of course,
Since it is much harder to teach someone who has played other outfield positions to run after a ball and throw it in when caught to do just that, why bother? I mean it has to be easier to teach someone who is struggling to hit 90+ mph balls thrown at him to hit them back into the field of play consistently?

It tastes better than the tears after a Hoffman save
and then Doug would have an excuse for all the moves he makes
I was disappointed with the lack of hookers but the pancakes were delightful
True story:
Like all Canadians, Doug’s tears turn into Canadian Club after a night like this.

2.70 ERA in his last 20 games now
Maybe he should play first base instead. That is, he should lie out there and we can step on him when we get a hit.
If Ryan Church gets an RBI off you
You have angered some baseball god.

So, should I take Sabermetrics off of the "Interests" portion of my resume?
/may or not be joking.
Yeah, well, sometimes I drink.

wouldn't that necessitate others getting on base?

I am kind of hoping they get to the pitcher's spot
Is that enough of an emergency to use Kottaras?

...Not with Gallardo on the team...

I didn't read the whole JEd traded fanshot, but
does everyone else think this is a GOOD thing for Cain?
I do.

That was pretty much the concensus
I was disappointed with the lack of hookers but the pancakes were delightful
one would have to think
This... is a simple game. You throw the ball. You hit the ball. You catch the ball.
Yeah, I think the general sentiment was puzzling why they acquired a bench OF
Not that Dickerson would challenge Cain for playing time.
Maybe he should play first base instead. That is, he should lie out there and we can step on him when we get a hit.
That's a good point
although its one less spot to fill next year, and Gomez doesn’t really profile as a 4th OF/pinch hitter type, I would think.

Well he has plus speed and defense
I think that’s basically a 4th OF
I was disappointed with the lack of hookers but the pancakes were delightful
Yeah, I see it as providing options for next year
Edmonds is gone, might as well pick up a possible piece for next year’s team.
Maybe he should play first base instead. That is, he should lie out there and we can step on him when we get a hit.
Yep
Got something in return for a really low-risk, cheap contract.
Ended up working out pretty well. Nice job, Doug.

Provus having a Uecker night
Calling fielders by the wrong name, losing track of the count.

Dickerson on deck
…moot point.

He had to stare into an Arizona shotgun for the first few innings
Blurs the strike zone.
