I-94 Rivalry Renewed: Cubs vs. Brewers, Friday 4/10, 3:05 CT

PrintBefore we move on to today's game, I commend you all to these two posts (and this one is a moving tribute) on Halos Heaven, regarding the tragic death of Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart. I read every one of the more than 1100 comments on those two posts -- in the wake of tragedy, it was great to see fans of all teams sending their thoughts and prayers to Nick's family and the Angels family. Thanks to all the BCB readers who added their comments.
Moving on to the Cubs, who will face Milwaukee in the Brewers' home opener this afternoon, Bruce Miles has a summary of the season so far, all three games' worth, including this on Milton Bradley:Bradley is without a hit, he has 4 walks. According to STATS, Inc., Bradley is second in the National League in pitches seen per plate appearance, at 5.36.
That's second to Jerry Hairston, and no other Cub is in the top 20.
This squares with the type of season Bradley had last year with Texas, when he led the American League with an on-base percentage of .436, setting a Rangers record.
In other words, Bradley rarely swings at bad pitches.
The shocking thing about that, of course, is that any comparison of Milton Bradley to Jerry Hairston is surprising, but once Milton gets untracked and starts hitting, that OBA should head up to the league lead again. Bradley is 10-for-31 lifetime in Miller Park with four homers.
And please. Stop the panic talk about Geovany Soto. He's just fine and may miss a couple of games and should not have to go on the DL. Step back slowly from the ledge, please.

None of the Cubs hit Looper particularly well -- the best are Kosuke Fukudome (4-for-13, a HR) and Derrek Lee (7-for-24, a HR), and yet the Cubs beat him three times in the four starts he made against them for St. Louis last year. Looper also has a 4.89 career ERA in Miller Park in 42.1 innings.
Rich Harden faced Milwaukee twice last year, first during the four-game sweep in Miller Park last July and also last September 18, when he gave them only one hit (but six walks) and one run in the game that Geovany Soto eventually tied up with that dramatic 9th-inning HR and the Cubs won in 12. Harden wasn't very good against the Yankees last Saturday, but then again, that game didn't count; he may have been working on various pitches.
Much has been made of the fact that the Brewers were forced to make a late-afternoon game time in San Francisco yesterday, then fly home, probably arriving after 2 am, for an afternoon start. Will the Brewers be tired? Probably, but in the past, this hasn't really affected teams that much, to my knowledge. Most likely, Looper was sent home early so he could rest up for the start.
Here is today's MLB.com Mediacenter link. Hopefully, they will have fixed the problems of the last few days so those of you who have paid for the service, can actually get what you paid for. (No, I'm not holding my breath either.) The game is on WGN-TV and also FSN Wisconsin.
Discuss amongst yourselves.

Looper is the epitome of mediocre. A 4 career ERA, a ERA+ of a shade above 100, and bounces around with plenty of NL teams. I think the Brewers are in trouble: Looper is the #4 right now, but I don’t really see Parra AND Gallardo staying healthy the entire season, and Looper is not a good #3 or #2 if someone gets injured. Kinda sad for a guy that was a #3 overall pick.
Dan
Evey Hammond: Vi Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici. V: By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.
That's why the Brewers will struggle.
Even if Gallardo is healthy all year, they have him and basically four Suppans.
"That's my opinion and if you don't like it, well, I have others." ~ Groucho Marx
I think we are really gonna be set up for a good mid-season trade.
We have 7-9 legit starters and other teams have difficulties finding 4. Just two teams off the top of my head—the Brewers and the Royals—have nothing for a #5 (the Royals are using SIDNEY PONSON!). The Cubs, meanwhile, are in a comfort zone with enough safety nets if Harden or others get injured that we don’t have to go into FREAKOUT! mode right away.
Evey Hammond: Vi Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici. V: By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.
7-9 legit starters?
who would be 8 and 9?
and which contender would deal something of value for them?
you mentioned kc, which i almost buy. their division is soft and a playoff run may be worth a gamble. do you see them letting go of a quality projected bat (ss/cf) for who you named?
Our five in the rotation plus: Gaudin, Shark, Marshall makes 8. I didn’t say 7-9 aces, I said 7-9 legit starters. Not trying to argue the merits of their starting pitching abilities, just that we appear to have a surplus of arms, whereas other teams do not. A useful surplus later in the season, me thinks.
Evey Hammond: Vi Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici. V: By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.
He's started 50 games and won more than half of them.
I’m in the minority, but I think it’s silly to give up on the guy. Let’s see him in a real friggin’ game this year, not that ST bullshit, before we decide if he’s scrapheap.

Gallardo looks like an ace in the making
But I don’t think Parra’s got the stuff or the makeup to be more than a journeyman. I’m no expert, of course . . . .
I think barring a surprise or two in the rotation and a trade, the Brewers hang on only to about mid-August until they’re out of contention. Which is too bad, because it can be a lot of fun for those of us between Milwaukee and Chicago when both are in it (more fun when the Cubs win).

Brewers are a 90 loss ballclub
They have literally no pitching once you get past Yovani Gallardo. And Ryan Braun needs to be moved to 1st base and Rickie Weeks to the outfield.
I assume they would trade Fielder for pitching.

Fielder should have been traded over the winter to the highest bidder
Brewers have little chance of signing him to a long-term contract. The smart move would have been to trade Fielder to an American League team or San Francisco for pitching.

And the other pisser for the Brewers is that the Milwaukee area economy has been particularly hard hit
So a ballclub with no pitching and a bad economy will probably equal a big downturn in attendance, which will in turn lead to a likely need to shave payroll. Personally, I think the Brewers made a few bad strategic moves the last year. First and foremost was trading Fielder at the zenith of his value to the Brewers because he is as good as gone once he hits free agency.
That would be like trading DeRosa! The fanbase wouldn't stand for that!
