Does Cedeno start to try to neutralize Carpenter?

Craig Counsell says Chase Anderson won’t start tomorrow. Brewers going with a bullpen game. Anderson will be available.

Another quote from Rosiak via Twitter...

 

Chase Anderson said he's known for a couple days he wouldn't be starting Monday's game in STL. "It's frustrating," he said. "Obviously they think that this is the better way to go at this time."

Interesting

I like it. Chase has to know his outings lately have been unimpressive. If he is frustrated take it out by getting outs when he comes in around the 4th inning with a lead.

[brewmann04]

Maybe they are tired of Anderson giving up Home runs every start.

Guerra has a 1.10 ERA in 3 starts vs. Cards this season. Have to think he's part of the mix.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

My plan would be some combo of Cedeno, Guerra, Anderson, Soria, and Woodruff to try to get through 6 with less than 2 runs. Maybe Burnes too.

 

Flaherty has owned us so far, but two of his last three starts have been pretty bad. Hopefully he is wearing down a bit in his first full season.

It can't be because they are planning to start Anderson in the wild card game and don't want the Cardinals to see him twice in a week, can it?

So a normal game then. Just a different order or entry.

Forget to put this in blue?

No. Not saying it's necessarily a bad thing, but you really never know what Counsell's going to do.

[wildcat83]

If it was setting him up to start the wild card game I don’t think he’d be voicing frustration with it.

[PinaMadness]

If the Cards don't have a solid scouting report on Anderson after all this time facing him in the NL Central......

[StearnBrewliever]

I dont like it. If it aint broke......

Are we going to see a Rays-style “opener”? Sure seems possible.

Yup. But you get to play matchups every inning. That is what I like about this whole idea.

[brewmann04]

we need to take this series and it will be a nice final week to the playoffs.

That was my first thought as well, but I’ll still be slightly surprised if the TBD starter only goes one inning.

[brewmann04]

like this need way of thinking to beat the Cards Tomorrow

[liveforoctober]

My guess is Guerra for 2 or 3 then a full fledged inning by inning approach.

 

I secretly want to see Corbin get his first big league start and see how it goes.

I openly want to see Corbin get the start in one of these games. We don't need him to go 7...just 3-4 innings and I think he's more than capable of going through the lineup once and shutting them down. One of the few confusing decisions by the Brewers this year was to go with Peralta over Burnes...I get it was his spot the first time up, so he didn't have to miss a beat, but Burnes is gonna end up with far fewer innings than last year. He's got TOR stuff and is ready.

[BrewFan130]

I’d have hoped Counsell would have kept the change in the game starter within the team/organization and surprise the Cards with change close to Monday’s game time in hopes of giving them limited time to prep for a different starter.

Anderson can’t be all that surprised in the move, after all he leads the NL in HRs allowed. It’s a stat that he has consistently maintained all season. One could be all but certain that he’d give up at least 1 HR in his very next start.

Meh, I don't like this game been treated differently, like there's no tomorrow. There are 6 more games and, hopefully, a game with no tomorrow next week.
