Friday's Frosty Mug

PrintSome things to read while watching Buzz eat.
The Brewers lost last night's game to finish off a 2-2 road trip, but unfortunately that's not today's big news: Ryan Braun left last night's game early with a sore left shoulder which he says he injured on a swing. He'll likely be reevaluated once the team gets to the ballpark today.
Before leaving last night's game Braun picked up a single in three ABs, pushing his hitting streak to nine games. Brew Gritt has a look at how he compares to the NL's other All Star candidates in the outfield.
Mark Kotsay started in center last night for the second consecutive game, but moved to left when Braun departed. He went 0-for-4 in the game and caused The Rational World to send Roenicke a message via SgtClueLs' Twitter feed.
The Rational World also voiced their opinion here: Ron Roenicke's approval rating dropped below 50% for the first time in this week's BCB Tracking Poll.
Meanwhile, the Brewers failed to score a run for the fifth time on the road this season and lost 1-0, wasting an excellent effort from Chris Narveson. He held the Padres scoreless on four hits through 7.1 innings, walking just one and striking out four. David Pinto of Baseball Musings notes that Narveson is one of just six starting pitchers who have held opponents scoreless in three or more outings this season without pitching a complete game.
Other notes from the field:
- The Brewers and Padres were a combined 0-for-12 with runners in scoring position through seven innings last night.
- Ron Roenicke told Tom Haudricourt he's not panicking.
- Aaron Harang, Chris Narveson and Orlando Hudson are leading FanGraphs' Star of the Game voting.
Corey Hart went 1-for-3 with a walk last night and has now been on base seven times in three games since returning to the #2 spot in the order. Tom Haudricourt said Hart is finding his way at the plate.
Yuniesky Betancourt didn't start last night, but grounded out on the first pitch in a ninth inning pinch hit appearance. MLB Depth Charts listed him among major leaguers who are "Losing Their Grip."
Carlos Gomez was also supposed to get the night off last night, but was pressed into duty when Braun left the game. Tyler Maas of The AV Club says Gomez is "robbing homers and stealing hearts" this season.
Nyjer Morgan took BP yesterday and is getting close to returning to the lineup. The B-Ref Blog notes that Morgan's 178 2011 OPS+ is the highest among players who posted an OPS+ under 80 last season.
Today's best news may be that the Brewers are returning home, and open a series with the Rockies tonight. Brewers Mix says optimism should still exist. Apparently many of you agree: The Brewers were among this week's Fan Confidence Booms at SBNation.com.
Zack Greinke will be on the mound when the Brewers resume play tonight. Tom Oates of Madison.com says Brewer fans will like what they see once Greinke is back at full speed. Quinn Roberts of MLB.com has a preview of tonight's game, and our series preview will be up at noon today.
Prince Fielder hit .333/.444/.467 on the road trip, but was held homerless and remains on 201 for his career. Yesterday Larry Granillo of Baseball Prospectus dropped by and shared this post on some of Fielder's most notable home run trots. Fielder's home run off Brett Myers in Houston is still the longest in baseball this season.
Speaking of notable home runs, Craig Calcaterra of Hardball Talk selected Ryan Braun's home run on the final day of the 2008 regular season as the most memorable in Brewer history.
LaTroy Hawkins has been a little shaky recently, but he's still riding an 8.2 inning scoreless streak. He told Adam McCalvy he's still seeking consistency in his delivery this season.
In the minors:
- Sean Green accepted his assignment to Nashville and will remain in the organization.
- Curt Rallo of MiLB.com has a profile of Wisconsin pitcher Austin Ross in this week's Midwest League Notes.
- The affiliates went 3-2 yesterday, with Chris Dennis going 4-for-4 with a home run, walk and 3 RBI in Wisconsin's doubleheader sweep of Beloit. You can read about that and more in today's Minor League Notes.
- Rattler Radio has video highlights from both games.
- Zach Braddock is expected to make another rehab appearance for Wisconsin tonight.
Around baseball:
Dodgers: Placed pitcher Vicente Padilla on the DL with forearm soreness.
Giants: Placed infielder Mark DeRosa on the DL with a strained wrist.
Indians: Designated pitcher Justin Germano for assignment.
Orioles: Placed first baseman Derrek Lee (oblique) and second baseman Brian Roberts (concussion) on the DL.
Red Sox: Acquired reliever Franklin Morales from the Rockies for a PTBNL or cash, designated pitcher Hideki Okajima for assignment and signed pitcher Kevin Millwood to a minor league deal.
By Monday we'll likely have another transaction to report: Dodgers outfielder Andre Ethier is likely to be fined and/or suspended after he flipped off a photographer during batting practice prior to a game during the Brewers series.
We have a new leader in the NL Central this morning: The Reds were swept in a two game set by the Pirates this week and opened the door for the Cardinals to retake the lead. You know that and much more if you've read this morning's edition of Around the NL Central.
From time to time it's important that we take a moment to step back and gain some perspective. As bad as this Brewer team has looked at times, they're only a few games worse than the 1982 Brewers were at this point. PastKast notes that the eventual AL Champions fell to 18-17 and were booed at home 29 years ago yesterday.
Elsewhere in former Brewers:
- Chris Dickerson had a scary moment in one of his first games with the Yankees: He was hit in the helmet by Orioles reliever Michael Gonzalez during the 15th inning of a game Wednesday. He was back at the ballpark yesterday and appears to be ok.
- Geoff Jenkins will represent the Brewers at the draft in two weeks.
- When Trevor Hoffman was at Wednesday's game he also stopped by San Diego's TV broadcast booth, where Dick Enberg called him "Dustin."
Last night's most interesting statistical note came in Philadelphia, where Jason Giambi homered three times in the Rockies' 7-1 win over the Phillies. He became the second oldest player ever to do it and just the fourth to do it after his 40th birthday.
Today in baseball economics: The Padres' new TV deal is close to being official and is expected to net them between $25-30 million per season from Fox. Their previous deal was worth roughly $15 million per season.
Another day, another story about embarrassingly bad major league umpires: The Padres' game on Tuesday was impacted by Joe West, who called a runner out for leaving third base early on a sac fly despite the fact that replays showed he wasn't even looking at the runner at the time.
In another umpire-related note, MLB is reportedly investigating an incident involving longtime punchline Phil Cuzzi and Nationals GM Mike Rizzo, who apparently had a confrontation regarding a blown call earlier this week.
Now, if you'll excuse me, my chicken is done.
Drink up.

Hey Ron
Next time Braun hurts himself and says “I think I can play”, don’t let him.

It's to the point that RR should not be relying on what the players say
Loe and Braun being the two examples.
Pujols is the Barack Obama of baseball.
i need to personally apologize to everyone
i caused the Crew to lose last night. i tried to bring them good luck by sneaking in 3 cans of Steel Reserve to Petco Park (you know, since it’s brewed in Milwaukee…… and has 8.1% abv), but got two of them confiscated at the gate. appears the single can i managed to get in didn’t have enough of the mojo for our offense.
sorry everyone
but seriously, what a dumb boring game
the best part on TV was watching Tony Plush the whole time. he seems like a real goofball and I can’t wait for him to heal up. sadly he may have to play left field :( :( :( /cry

That type of game last night is my favorite. Very exciting, great pitching, good strategy involved. 1-0 is what baseball is all about.
We know it is your favorite
the Brewers lost. ;)

There wasn't much strategy involved last night
Outside of the 9th inning.
Higher scoring games usually involve a much more strategy from managers.
Get a ife broseph
Good strategy?
How is YunE-6 pinch hitting vs a RHP good strategy? Did you mean strategery?
Give him an offspeed pitch down and in. He will swing and miss.
Took it he meant good strategy from the winning team?
Though, if one of the goals of the game is to score runs, and the strategy of the 2 managers resulted in 1 run in 18 innings, I’m not sure how “good” their respective strategies were.
Get a ife broseph
Ron Roenicke was just setting up
That at bat for something in September. It’s all part of his elaborate plan.
I only watched up until the 8th, I was just stating that imo a 1-0 game is about as good as it gets in baseball.
1-0/Pitcher Dueling
I agree, I like a good pitchers duel. But that game was tough to watch. Top of 1st: Hart on 3rd, Braun steals 2nd, Fielder pops out to SS, MaGoo grounds to the pitcher. Top of 4: Fielder leads off the inning w/ a double, MaGoo grounds out, Kotsay grounds out to 1B to move fielder to 3rd, Lucroy can’t bring him in. Get runners in scoring position, and there’s no payoff.
I’m all for watching pitcher being dominant, 8/9 IP, 3H, 0 ER, 8-10K. But they were getting hits on Harang, but no damage was done.

This wasn’t a pitchers duel so much as it was guys finding ways to get themselves out.

I'd argue 4-3 is the "ideal" game
Good pitching, but also good hitting. Close game, lots of strategy leading to runs scored, bullpen and PH decisions.
Get a ife broseph
If that's the case, I think DPR out thought himself
You are wrong. 4-3 is obviously the ideal score.
Give him an offspeed pitch down and in. He will swing and miss.
My ideal score is the one that has us winning.
I think there would be a lot of comedic value to a discussion about what the ideal score is.
Give him an offspeed pitch down and in. He will swing and miss.
My 4-3 is ideal for a game I don't have a rooting interest
Obviously, I couldn’t care less what the score is of a Brewer win.
Haudricourt however, will freak out if they either don’t score a lot of runs, or give up a lot of runs – regardless of who wins.
Get a ife broseph
Haudricourt was talking about you on the radio today.
Couldn’t understand why people thought he was being too harsh on the team.
We pull our pants up and do our jobs here.
Ha, that's great
I don’t think he’s necessarily being too harsh, God knows I’ve probably said worse things about the team than he has, its the frequency that gets to me.
Adding them up, he had nine tweets last night during and immediately after the game in which he complained about the offense.
Get a ife broseph
I'm just as grumpy as Haudricourt
so I don’t mind this stuff.
But if he EVER tweets again that Yuni’s defense has been better than advertised following a single good play, OH WATCH OUT.

i’d have to agree with the braun HR, though i did put some thought into sveum’s easter sunday shot.
but i totally disagree with the mets! what about mike piazza, post-9/11?!?
Why that man still has a job is a mystery
Wouldn’t his fellow umpires have forced him out by now? He’s an utter embarrassment to the profession and to the game.
Making someone else accountable would mean making themselves accountable.

Lucroy
is our boy Lucroy alright? they didn’t show any replays on the Petco jumbotron, but based on how the ball bounced into center field and JL sprawled out by second base, it looked pretty ugly (although he walked off the field and appeared ok). did he catch it in the noggin, or what?
by the way
some ignorant Padres fan was bitching about Counsell’s audacity to take second base on that play. of course you are concerned about your teammate, but if you can take an extra base in a scoreless game, you do it.
Hit his hand
They have 3 catchers and he came out for the 9th, so I’m assuming/hoping that he is OK
Get a ife broseph
yeah he's got to be okay if they didn't put Rivera or Nieves in there
especially since pulling Lucroy really doesn’t change much of anything at that point

I feel like I need to get this off my chest, even though I feel like some of you will think I'm an asshole for doing so.
I’m sad that Savage has died because I have a ton of great memories of him. He was a phenomenal talent.
With that said, what he had become was terribly sad. Like a lot of the guys from his generation he’d wrestled and drug abused his brains out. He was down to being little more than a novelty act and a punchline. In the next ten years there’s a strong chance his biggest accomplishment would have been an appearance as a C-list celebrity on a reality show, embarrassing himself further while becoming a regular on The Soup.
I’m sad that he’s gone, because I remember how great he was. But I’m not sure it would’ve been significantly less sad if he wasn’t gone.
Now that's great tasting chicken!
Y'know, this is all going to be irrelevant when the world ends tomorrow.

That just makes Greinke's performance tonight that much more important
His sterling performance tonight will actually save the entire world. It will be the only rational explanation if we all wake up safe in our beds on May 22.
Is that why it's so slow on here today in the comments? No one wants to post because of that prediction?
If I honestly thought the world was going to end tomorrow, I would have called in sick to work today and gone to tonight’s game.
(End sarcastic section, begin more serious section.)
The world could end tomorrow, but I’m not putting the chances at any higher than any other day. I’m a Christian, I do believe the world will end one day, and I believe we will have no idea what day it will be. That’s all I’m saying, I don’t want to start any arguments in the comments right now. If you believe differently, you’re entitled to it and I won’t stop you. All I ask you is to not ridicule what I believe.

Goodness
Now, I love the Brewers as much as the next man (unless its most of the people who are actually foolish enough to sit next to me) but if I really believed the world was going to end I don’t think I’d go to the Brewers match. It would either be a) try to convert my mates, b) pray like a demon (err, bad choice of words) or, c) full-on self-indulgence…

In all likelihood, I would be doing them. What better place to try to convert people than at a big place like that? Also, who says that game wouldn’t be a form of self-indulgence as well? Plus, prayer can happen anywhere, at any time, in any format, so that could be going on as well.

By that I mean
If Lucroy isn’t catching, Nieves, by definition is catching.
Seriously, though, is this a 1-game audition? Is Rivera getting 1 shot to prove he belongs at the big league level or is Nieves already gone? Or is Roenicke just playing lefty-righty? It would be nice to see Nieves leave. Think Wolf can pitch to Rivera without throwing a fit on the mound?
Seems like Wolf
Is fine with anyone not named “Jonathan Lucroy”.
I was thinking the same thing though. It’s been quite a while since we’ve seen Nieves play. Even if RR was inclined to use his backup catcher as a PH, Nieves is a horrible option.
Kottaras is struggling in Nashville, so why not give Rivera a chance to see if he can be competent as catcher once a week or even in PH situations.
Pujols is the Barack Obama of baseball.
My bigger concern right now.
Is this just a rest day for Lucroy, or did he injure that hand yesterday? He did stay in last night, which is a good sign but not always a true indicator of what’s going on. I’m guessing it’s just a day off because of the late night, since I haven’t heard anything different.

A combination of the above, I'd hope.
It’s shame given how much he enjoys catching Greinke and Greinke loses catcher consistency as well.
combination rather than solely injury

Might be precautionary too.

I wouldn’t read too much into Jonathan Lucroy not starting; he was struck in the left wrist by a relay throw last night but told me after the game he was fine. Roenicke said before yesterday’s game that he was considering giving Lucroy a day off.

Could eventually happen
Braddock has another rehab outing tonight, so he probably wouldn’t be activated until early next week.
Also, I don’t know what our catching depth is like beyond Kottaras down in Nashville, but I could see them try to send Nieves down.

I thought the T-Rats tweeted yesterday that Braddock's rehab start had been cancelled.

Catching depth
Martin Maldonado is known as a defensive specialist, I don’t think there would be a ton of difference between he and Nieves.
Obviously they would try to get Nieves to go down, but I don’t think it’d be a big loss if he didn’t accept the assignment.
