I don't know that I have ever seen such a terrible "upcoming pitchers" list as now

I mean, holy crap thats bad

Ubaldo Jimenez, RHP (3-8, 4.50)
Mark Redman, LHP (2-3, 7.05)
Greg Reynolds, RHP (2-6, 6.71)
Jorge De La Rosa, LHP (3-4, 6.58)
Josh Fogg, RHP (1-2, 8.39)

I'm going to pretend that I didn't just see that.

[pitchleague]

which means that in the past, we'd likely go 1-4 against that motely crew. Now that we have Sabathia, we'll likely go 2-3.

 

I kid, I kid! Seriously, you're right. That is pretty putrid. Mark Redman is the one that "scares" me the most because he has handled the Brewers in the past (I don't subscribe to Baseball Reference so I can't get full stats, but I did see a 6-0 shutout win in 2006 from him--checked espn, in 2005, we went 2-2 against him but the 2 losses were well-pitched, including a shutout. In 2003, he went 3-0 against us [ugh].)

[Glennron]

I didn't even know Mark Redman was still in the league. In 2003 in 25 IP against the Brewers he had a 1.08 ERA and a 0.84 WHIP, that's just funny.

 

Anyway, it would be pretty disappointing if the Brewers won fewer than 3 games in this series with the pitchers they'll be facing plus the fact the Brewers will have Sabathia/Parra/Sheets/not Jeff Suppan pitching.

[InsomniacInkRoss]

I want nothing to do with a jinx, I am just saying those lines are awful

 

Wasn't Redman a 8-8 4.88ish "All-Star" for the Royals? One they had to take?

 

I still think De La Rosa can "show up" once in a while, he has bad and good outings for the Rockies this year, just like in Miltown

[temke]

these look like the kind of guys that brewers batters have made look like cy young in the past.

 

hopefully we are past those days

[fondybrewfan]

Buyt we will be getting Cain & Lincecum right after the all star break so it kind of evens out. I am acstatic that we miss Aaron Cook, he is exactly the type of pitcher that gives us fits, I think we need a minimum of 5-2 the rest of the homestand, 4-3 wouldn't be the end of the world but I would be disappointed. We will have CC for 2 games, Sheets for 1 (I think), and Parra for 2 games. As long as Bush/McClung and Suppan can get us 2 wins combined, I think 5 wins is pretty conservative

[cubfan1126]

Amusing that you didn't mention that you'll be facing Volquez probably on Friday since he pitched yesterday. (Unless Baker decides to start him on Wednesday and again on Sunday. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif )

 

 

Edit: My bad. I see that you are using the MLB site that list the next 5 only. Volquez is Saturday followed by an underperforming Harang.

Maybe one of our stats gurus can confirm/refute my perception, but I believe the 2008 version of the Brewers aren't bothered by LHP as much as they were in recent years. (This would be a great time for Billy to prove he has found his stroke again.)

 

[Team Canada]

I think this weekend JP was noting that the Brewers are actually under .500 vs RHP, and doing quite well vs LHP, but the exact numbers escape me.

[fondybrewfan]

I am pretty sure we are 19-8 against lefties, that would leave us a game below .500 against righties

[olliegjw]

That list is followed by Volquez, Harang, Lincicum, and Cain. Just a little bit of a difference.

[TooLiveBrew]

You know, with the addition of Sabathia, the Brewers imo should be projected or expected to take at least 3 of these next 4 from Colorado. That's the first time I've felt that way on a 4-game series in... well, a long time.

I understand that Mark Redman has "owned" the Brewers. But seriously, the 2003 Brewers and 2008 Brewers are two completely different dynamics.

[Dmiles23]

Reynolds was sent down by Colorado after his last start. So, the way Bill and Brian are talking, I'm guessing Glendon Rusch will be getting the start in his place.

[brewmann04]

I hate playing no name Pitchers the brewers have in the past make these guys look like All Stars.

Yeah, and we usually hit good pitchers hard.
