Sorry for not having complete IGT's this weekend, but I was a little too busy. Everything will be back to normal after the all-star break.

 

Beat the Nats!!!

I am in stunned disbelief that Tim Redding is pitching for a major league team.

[brewers19]

Some would make the argument that the Nationals aren't a major league team. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Good vibes today. Let's go into the break with a (one game) winning streak. I called for Mench on Friday and Fielder last night. Let's go for the triple crown: Jenkins with a big day at the plate today to key the offense.

[wisconsinfan47]

weather.com predicts a high of 98 with a heat index well over 100 in DC today. Not to mention there won't be a cloud in the sky, and that RFK is a heat-trapping bowl. Endurance will be tested.

 

So, even with his best stuff, Cappy would probably only be able to go 6 or 7, and that's if he's dominant. Luckily, Yost can treat this like a playoff game and empty the bullpen with the huge break coming up.

I am in stunned disbelief that Tim Redding is pitching for a major league team.

 

That's exactly what I thought when I saw him pitch for the Nats against the Cubs last week.

Batista

Lopez

Church

Flores

Redding

[lukevan]

any particular reason we are starting Gwynn over Jenkins against a righty? Is Jenks a little dinged up?

 

Tough loss last night, I thought for sure we were going to have our first ninth inning comeback of the year. Let's get those pesky (g)Nats today to turn everyone's frown upside down.

[Lil Dummy]

Good grief, no Jenks today. Alright, if Ned has faith in the Gwynn/Gross combo, I'll give it a shot.

 

Gabe Gross, you're my (replacement) pick to click today.

[LV Brewer Fan]

If Cappy doesn't pitch well against that lineup today we have some real problems. Here's to Cappy turning it around today and pitching like the guy who made the first 7 starts of the season.

[hawing]

I wouldn't completely mind if Tim Redding assumed the near-fetal position today, much as he has in wOOgiE's post above.

 

As long as it's not from heat stroke. No one deserves that.

 

Go Brewers! Get to 50 today!

[UeckerAddict]

What, does Jenkins need a day to rest in order to prepare for the four consecutive days of rest?

[jason21nl]

not sure if Jenks is hurting at all, but come on. Put your best line up on the field, and the Brewers best line up includes Jenkins.

[brettac1]

Yeah, Jenkins/Hart/Gross across the OF would have looked fine against a guy like Redding. The ball's going to be jumping out of the yard (relatively speaking when talking about RFK, of course).

[jlau20]

I'm a little surprised he's not starting Jenks also. Oh well, if we can get to 50 before the break I could really careless who was in the lineup today.

 

How about a 3-run 1st and actually keeping the lead the entire game?

 

I'll say Cappy goes 6IP, 3ER, 4K, 2BB. And for the fun of it, 1-2 at the plate with an RBI.

[UeckerAddict]

I can't imagine that we will face a lineup with a lower batting average than this one:

 

Logan .224

Jimenez .059

Zimmerman .251

Kearns .249

Batista .211

Lopez .239

Church .261

Flores .232

Redding .000

First time poster.....

 

Jenkins is in the lineup today according to FSN pre game.

 

What an odd lineup....5 lefties in a row??

 

Hart

Hardy

Braun

Fielder

Estrada

Jenkins

Gwynn

Counsell

Cappy

 

Very unlike Ned to stack that many lefties in a row.

[packfan79]

Wow if we lose to the Nats AAA team I am not going to be happy. I thought I saw Jenks in the starting lineup on FSN but I might be wrong.

[brewers19]

What the hell is that thing on Redding's chin?

[crewcrazy]

Just don't suck, please!

 

Two pitch leadoff outs against Tim Redding make me sad. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

[Brewcrewin07]

Ok so FSN pre game was wrong...it is Gross instead of Jenkins, but either way, it's still 5 lefties in a row.

[wisconsinfan47]

I have a feeling today will be a little like that first inning. I so hope I'm wrong.

[Kpanz20]

Cappy looks to have good command is my initial observation

[TauPentaRei]

When was Corey's last day off? May?

 

His hitting streak has disguised a 5 - 30 July...

 

Guess he'll get a lot of rest starting tomorrow, but that's why TGJ is up here right?
