Game 28 Game Thread

Milwaukee Brewers at Cincinnati Reds, May 7, 2009 7:10 PM EDT



Next Game

Milwaukee Brewers
@ Cincinnati Reds

Thursday, May 7, 2009, 7:10 PM EDT
Great American Ball Park

Braden Looper vs Micah Owings

Partly cloudy,rain. Game time temperature around 75.

 


 


W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2009 - Micah Owings 1-3 4.84 1.61 11 11



W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2009 - Braden Looper 2-1 3.10 1.34 19 11


 

After being thoroughly embarrassed last night, the boys look to get back on the winning track tonigh as our resident power bat off the bench faces off against a pitcher with the middle name of LaVerne.

Looper has pitched well against the Reds of late, going 4-1 with a 2.57 ERA since 2007. On the other side, Owings has not been good versus the Brewers in his career, as he's 0-3 with a 7.71 ERA in three career starts.  (small sample size!) The Brewers beat the Reds 9-3 when the two faced off way back on April 15th.

The Brewers are 12-3 since April 22nd awhile averaging six runs a game. Maybe Ryan Braun will catch a cold from being out in the rain last night. A girl can dream, right? If not, maybe we can get Shadowhare to kidnap him until after the game.

The new

and probably not improved lineup, from the Fay:

Taveras 8
Hairston 6
Bruce 9
Phillips 4
Nix 7
Hernandez 3
Hanigan 2
Rosales 5
Owings 1

Votto is sick. It’s the first game he’s missed.

Votto gone and the 5th starter on the mound,

along with the fact that the Reds are friggin’ abysmal at home does not make me like our chances tonight.

But hey, I thought we’d win yesterday, so I’d love to be wrong again!

well

We got Nix instead of Dickerson, and Fay thinks it’s a long-term change.

Fay also reports that Janish’s arm didn’t fall off, despite throwing 35 pitches with a lot of 90 mph fastballs. He might not feel it until tomorrow.

Looks like the fans appreciated the effort, at least.

Either that, or his family came up for the night. You usually don’t see that kind of reaction for a pitcher with a ERA of 45.

Looking at this lineup

And I think Owings might be the most qualified to bat 5th. At least bat him seventh.

Ramon Hernandez at 1B? Hmmm.

BP's sick too, another new lineup

Hairston 2B
Bruce RF
Hernandez 1B
Nix LF
Rosales 3B
Hanigan C
Janish SS
Owings P

The bench tonight is McDonald and Dickerson, and that’s it.

Uh, boy

I hope Janish’s arm is all right, since he’s starting at SS.

They gotta DL A-Gon. This is ridiculous. They’re going to end up using a pitcher as a position player or something.

None of our outfielders--

including the three in the field or the two on the bench—has ever played an inning in the infield in the majors.

here's the rundown

Rosales – 9 starts at 3B

FWIW, the last time a SS pitched (Davey in '88), he didn't start the next day

This should be interesting.

They announced the new lineup with Votto out around an hour ago, and the minus-BP lineup a little more than 20 minutes ago. Still, it’s inexcusable that they don’t have anyone on their way up from Louisville right now.

they might be available to pinch hit

Last year, Doug Mientkiewicz was sick with the flu. The Pirates ended up having to use him, even though he was sick as a dog. They sent him in in the ninth, and he looked terrible. His eyes were glazed. Still, he almost beat the throw to 1B…but then took a full minute to slowly stagger back to the dugout. He looked completely dazed.

Worse, the game went to extra innings, and he ended up having to play defense five innings.

OTOH, they might not want BP and Votto in the dugout at all, in case they’re contagious. The Yankees usually send sick players back to the hotel, so they don’t spread their germs.

I’m just…wow. Owings hitting 9th, eh? That’s kind of silly. If you’re willing to buck convention and use him as a pinch hitter, is the world really gonna stop spinning because you bat him 7th when he starts?

It seems like at this point...

at least Janish has demonstrated that he’s a decent replacement for Gonzalez for the next couple of weeks. So assuming whatever hit BP and Votto is temporary, why not DL Gonzalez and give him time to rehab?

Jeff Niemann pitching for Tampa tonight

The dude is immense. 6’-9", 280 lbs.

He was a first round draft pick out of Rice, the same year as Janish. I would guess he’s one of the reasons they moved Janish from pitcher to SS.

All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?

Ali Boombaye

by Cy Schourek on May 7, 2009 7:31 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Along with Wade Townsend and Phil Humber, yeah.

Those two along with Niemann were hugely hyped first-round picks when they came out of Rice at about the same time. Humber and Niemann went 3rd and 4th overall, respectively, in the 2004 draft and Townsend was 8th overall in 2005. Humber looks unlikely to ever be more than a spot-starter in the majors, Townsend hasn’t been able to stay healthy and probably won’t ever make it to AAA, and Niemann has barely stuck around in Tampa and probably won’t be there much longer, though he should be a serviceable starter somewhere.

So yeah, I’d say Rice had plenty of reasons to not keep Janish as a pitcher.

well

I’m glad Dusty wasn’t going to leave him out there forever. 35 pitches is kind of a lot, even for a regular reliever.

Any guesses on who would have raised his hand first?

You gotta think Dusty would go with an infielder, though. They usually don’t put outfielders on the mound, because they’re not used to how fast the balls gets to you in the infield.

And I don’t believe Dusty would let one of his young stars pitch. It’s usually a reserve guy. A Janish or Swisher, not a Votto or Bruce.

Agree w/ BK

It had to be Rosales. Would’ve just added to his lore.

by chesirecat on May 7, 2009 7:53 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

As I said, Rosales would have volunteered first

I think it’s possible it could have been BP too. Seems like the kind of guy that would have fun with it. Or Dickerson. But yeah, not Votto.

He's the one who has the most experience in a platoon role

Although, would Dusty put him in against a lefty?

I don't think they'd let BP pitch

Why risk injury to your franchise player?

I don’t think it would be Dickerson, either, because he’s an outfielder. Even if he pitched in high school or college, the balls are lot faster in the big leagues. If there’s a comebacker, he’ll be looking up waiting for the ball to fall from the sky…when it clocks him in the chin. ;-)

McDonald, maybe. He’s got a hell of an arm. And he plays infield as well as outfield.

Jim Day was sitting alone in the outfield, being an idiot.

Thom and Cowboy asked him if he saw any singles, so he yelled down at a group below him. Then they started going on about how he should hit on this woman who is clearly much younger than him…

And Jim Day is awkward even without all of that.

Oh, and eventually he persuaded a woman to come up and sit with him, and she clearly wanted to run as soon as she got up there. Thom and Cowboy once again wouldn’t shut up.

Jose Molina

Yanks already have Posada on the DL. Their third catcher, stashed in AAA, is also on the DL. Their only remaining catcher was just called up from AA when Posada went on the DL. Because he’s on the 40-man, and no other catchers are.

Yankees fans now wondering if Javy Valentin or Paul Bako is available.

Yay.

Congrats on the win

I can’t believe you beat us with that lineup. In honor of your victory, I give you a scantily-clad picture of Miss Wisconsin:

This was, by far,

my favorite game to watch so far this season.

Needless to say, this didn't work and everybody died.
