EDIT: Wrong pitching matchups

[steve267268]

Since my MLB.TV will be blacked out, i'll be listening on the radio at work... It's always interesting to get an outsiders perspective on your team... Yesterday they were talking pretty highly of us here in san diego, but lost all credibility when they said, "That one guy, Cliff Lee, hit one a mile off Lawrence here at Petco"

 

If we can just get some good pitching this series should be ours.. Then again, it seems like every time we come out west, 6, 7, and 8 hitters play like Hall of Famers.... and not ours.

 

The Prince still raking

even despite aching groin

Goes yard, like Cliff Lee

 

put Hall in center

need speed in petco, but please

no more mays catches

 

Cappy on the mound

hope we win but i must go

one hour late for class

[hawing]

Hate to say, but if you rely on milwaukeebrewers.com, Capuano-Park is the matchup for Wednesday 5/10.

 

Both milwaukeebrewers.com and ESPN indicate that tonight's matchup pits Doug Davis (2-2, 5.35) against Clay Hensley (1-2, 4.28 ).

[chowyo123]

Also, anyone know if prince is playing for sure? Actually... now that I think about it, the lineups aren't out yet.

 

Edit:

Looked at the rotation and it seems like it's Davis, unless they did a flip-flop... Davis pitched on the 4th, while Bush on the 3rd.

[bigjase]

I think the next two games could be very winnable. We need to get some runs early, and we should be ok. Hopefully they day off helped everyone get a breath and now they are ready to go out and hit the way we know they can. Lets get the first two, and see how Thursday goes. We can still salvage this road trip!

[TauPentaRei]

Cirillo at first? yeeesh I hope not.

 

That's almost as bad as the Cubs having to stuff Todd Walker there... hah ahahahah

 

Call. Up. Hart.

[Oldcity]

Well last time Yost played Cirillo at first he had like three hits.

 

Not to look ahead, but if Sheets is able to throw on Thursday there will be an awesome Sheets-Peavy match-up.

[davemakovec]

I like the thought of Davis on the mound tonight. He's been picking it up lately. Hopefully his slow start was just that, a slow start.

 

Now if Clark would pick it up, Sheets would be not injured and our bullpen would stop leaking runs like a sieve, we could be in good shape.

[Riebes24]

Not to look ahead, but if Sheets is able to throw on Thursday there will be an awesome Sheets-Peavy match-up.

 

Or another awesomely bad performance from our ace right before his arm falls off.

[Team Canada]

SD has won 9 straight.

 

I really don't want a 0-6 trip.

[davemakovec]

I get the feeling that the Brewers break that streak of theirs tonight.

 

After all, the Dodgers were slumping (0-whatever in their last few games) and we gave them a pickup, and the Cubs were doing okay and we kicked them into what became an eight-game skid.

 

Hopefully we do that to the Padres. I don't want to see two consecutive sweeps.

[AJOHNSON104]

If Fielder doesn't go, I believe there are 3 choices - Cirillo, Koskie, Hall. I think Hall should be able to pull a 1st base glove out of his tool belt, but Koskie probably plays 3rd and Cirillo 1st.

[badgerfan.tgf]

I think Hall should pitch instead of play first base. Or maybe he should pitch and play first base at the same time. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[jakesdaddio]

I would rather play a team with a 9 game winning streak than a team with a 5 game losing streak. Which is more likely to end? The Crew needs to win 2 of these games to make the trip not so awful. I think it is possible.

[rluzinski]

Here's to Davis keeping the walks down tonight. Cirillo as a regular first basemen would be the worst in the league. One game isn't going to change that.

[Oldcity]

Well then it's a good thing we're not talking about playing Cirillo at first all season.

 

Like you said, it's one game.

[Iron Chef Napalm]

Happy Birthday Prince!

Padres

not yet

[steve267268]

yes, that's right. It is Princes Birthday today... If there isn't a thread started on the main page by the time i get to work, i will certainly make one.

 

By the way....

 

At first glance, Peavey vs. Sheets is an awesome matchup.. but given the current circumstances, there are many images that pop into my head when i think about how that game might turn out.. and "awesome" doesn't describe a single one of them....

[bsglorydays]

I love these west coast night games. There's usually nothing worth watching late at night, and by the time the Brewers game is over, I can see what else happened around the league.

 

Plus, after the lady goes to bed, so I can watch the rest of the game by myself, along with the rest of you who hang out in the IGT.

[sheetswannabe]

Prince is 22 (Happy B-day homerun!), Davis is 2-0 and .73 era last 2 starts, Lee is bombing them out. Crew wins 5-3

[bsglorydays]

Davis is 2-0 and .73 era last 2 starts

 

The Padres should be licking their chops right now. With the 2 exceptions being Giles and Greene, the rest of the team owns Doug Davis.

 

Only 5 or 6 Brewers have faced Hensley, and only 1 AB each. No hits. Obviously, we don't know what to expect in that regard. But, the way the stats look vs Davis, the Brewers bats may need to be hot. Then again, these things change like the wind.

[UeckerAddict]

Cirillo as a regular first basemen would be the worst in the league.

 

Todd Walker may be making a run at it.

[bucksman4]

SD has won 9 straight.

 

Tells me they're due for a loss. And it just so happens we're due for a win. Couldn't work out much better.

[MilChrist]

I'm hopeful for a win tonight. How about we pounce on them in the first and never look back! Jenkins, you're in sunny Southern Cal..hit the ball like you did in college.

[Loopee]
