2B Rickie Weeks

SS J.J. Hardy

CF Gabe Gross

1B Prince Fielder

RF Corey Hart

LF Laynce Nix

3B Craig Counsell

C Mike Rivera

LHP Manny Parra

 

Looks like Manny is starting instead of Bush.

[trwi7]

Haha anybody watching the Cubs/White Sox game on WGN? They're interviewing Ozzie Guillen and they said something like "How about Brian Anderson? He's having a great spring training." Guillen says "It's about time."

[RyGuy671]

Parra gives up 2 hits...send him to minor league camp now!!

 

Rickie just having a forgettable spring.

[trwi7]

Our defense is abysmal. That's two errors in a row.

[trwi7]

MY MAN CRUSH 3-RUN JACK!!!! RyGuy knows who I'm talking about.

[RyGuy671]

Let's see if anyone says "I heart Hart".

[RyGuy671]

MY MAN CRUSH 3-RUN JACK!!!! RyGuy knows who I'm talking about.

I was just wondering if he was your man-crush, because he is a goofy looking dude.

 

On another topic, I got shivers last night listening to Ueck while it was dark outside, because it felt like a regular season game. Man, I can't wait!

 

Meche getting hit now.

[trwi7]

Another fantastic outing by Parra. 5 innings, 3 hits, 1 run (0 earned), 1 walk and 7 strikeouts.

[wOOgiE22]

I would like to see Parra start the year with the team, but I am very comfortable with having that option in AAA waiting.

[RyGuy671]

Will it matter? Do you think they're giving Parra a realistic shot for a rotation spot, or is he penciled in for AAA just to save his arm? Because if it is a truly open competition, he'd make it. But I do understand the arm-saving aspect of it for Parra. Hopefully only for a few months, though.

[wOOgiE22]

If everyone is healthy, I could envision the Brewers doing what they did with Yo last year. Use him out of the BP then give him starts later in the year. But this is all dependent on how the pitching progresses this year.

[RyGuy671]

Come on Counsell, get an error and complete our INF defensive-lapse quadfecta!

[DrWood]

Another fantastic outing by Parra. 5 innings, 3 hits, 1 run (0 earned), 1 walk and 7 strikeouts.

 

I was going to make a joke about that's pretty good for a guy going to Nashville, but the truth is, how can you possibly not put him into the rotation in Mil?

[wOOgiE22]

What the heck has gotten into Counsell this spring

[derflotr]

Man, Counsell is HOT

[drezdn]

Counsell has changed his stance a bit, I'm not sure if that's what is doing it though.

[trwi7]

Linebrink pitching for the White Sox right now on WGN.

[trwi7]

Nice. Bush K's the side and Rickie leads off the inning with a triple!

[trwi7]

RyGuy's man crush with an RBI single. 4-2 Crew.

[RyGuy671]

RyGuy's man crush with an RBI single. 4-2 Crew.

JJ makes me Hardy!

 

Good hitting by Prince. That's the way you like to see the top of the order operate, even though JJ won't be hitting #2 once Cameron comes back.

[RyGuy671]

Any attendance figures yet?

[derflotr]

This is the reason I want Bushy in the rotation, he's an absolute badass.

 

19 pitches, 19 strikes. So freaking gritty. And that beard is manly.

 

And now he has a base hit. Words cannot describe the man that is Dave Bush.

[wOOgiE22]

And Boom goes JJ!

[trwi7]

Hardy goes long! 8-2 Brewers.
