R. Weeks 2b

C. Vargas p

[crewcrazy]

I'm predicting Miller at C and Graffanino at 2B, considering it's a day game.

[BrewCrewForever]

Yeah I feel bad for Mr. Koskie, Id love to have him on our team in place of Counsell. I really have doubts not that Corey will ever play again. Sucks cause it happend on a very odd highlight reel play.

[RU Rah Rah]

Oh, that's not bad. I suppose Miller was a given.

[Oldcity]

So I just got called with a free ticket to the game, which means this will be the first time I've ever attended an entire series. Eh, what the hey. I'm going. Have fun IGTers.

[rluzinski]

I think Weeks will be completely wasted being surrounded by Mench, Miller and Vargas. I suspect Yost has decided that he has to have a consistent lineup again, however. I doubt we'll see any changes to the order anytime soon.

[GormanHarvey]

Exacty. He never even really hit his head. I would have never guessed that he would have sustained a concussion from a fall like that

[TGJforPrez]

I do like the fact that Ned is finally remaining consistent with his lineup, but does it make sense to bat Rickie behind Damien and Mench? If he hits a ball in the gap, he might just catch Damien rounding 2nd base. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

Also, not sure what the prevailing thought is here as I am new to the site, but does I am not sure if I like Rickie hitting 8th. I am sure its just for a short time til he gets his cuts in, but its seems like it eliminates his speed on the bases. (stealing with the pitcher up)

[Schlitz001]

I just figured Weeks was batting low in the order, because the Brewers want him getting less at bats per game, so as not to over exert his wrist. I bet he moves up in the lineup later in the month.

[BucketheadBrigader]

Woah totally didn't realize today was a getaway day. Thought the Giants had off tomorrow, so it was a night game. I was off. Then keep that lineup, but insert Miller at C. I think as long as Rickie's wrist is holding up, keeping him in the 8 hole today could still be ok.

[sheethead]

Weeks should be batting 6th today. Is anyone else getting tired of seeing the word Mench in the lineup?

I am, but it's better than Jenkins in the lineup vs LHP.

[Trowekamp]

Woogie had time to do the sweep graphic since he didn't have to redo the Brewers bullpen graphic with Sheets going the distance... : )

[Trowekamp]

I think eventually Weeks will hit 6th.. Jenks/Mench will bat 7th and the catcher will bat 8th...

 

at least I hope that is the way it goes... unbelievable that the top 6 would be:

 

Hart

Hardy

Braun

Fielder

Hall

Weeks

 

Can't believe that not one of them flamed out in the minors.. nice picking Jack Z.

 

In two years when you add Laporte/Gillepsie and Salome to that lineup it will be even more amazing.

[sheethead]

I am, but it's better than Jenkins in the lineup vs LHP.

 

I completely agree and would not have suggested putting Jenks in there. Just hoping Melvin can one day move the Mench. Once that happens, I don't think there will be much to complain about for a while http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

I didnt know the game was on TV. I turned it on just as as fluke. A) I'm clearly unaware and B) this is manna from heaven. Praise the baseball (and FOX-WI) Gods!

Not sure I want Estrada batting in front of the pitcher. He has the plate discipline of Jabba the Hut......they could throw him junk all day and he'd flail and hit dying quails to the SS/2B.

[TheBwaz]

My new job precludes the joining of chat during the day, but I will be there in spirit.

 

C'mon, win! We would be, what, 7-1 since the recent unpleasantness?.

[PeaveyFury]

I didnt know the game was on TV.

 

Wow.... we got screwed out of so many April/May games for whatever reason, I guess they're throwing the people with afternoon TV access a bone finally.

[JoeH33]

Everyone's too excited about the Crew today. How about a depressing stat for the day.

 

JJ Hardy since May 13th (Last day Hardy's OPS was over 1.000)

 

.226/.275/.368/.643

He was just nervous waiting for his TV Debut.. now that it is over he will be fine : )

[sheethead]

What's the deal with Ray Durham? Good thing no other Giants have been hot this series.

[steve267268]

Weeks in front of the pitcher makes a lot of sense.

 

If he gets on with less than two outs the pitcher can move him from 1st to 2nd, or if he steals or hits a double, from 2nd to 3rd. It's a good spot for him right now. When he finds his power again, then you move him.

[JoeH33]

Corey Hart is insane. Apparently I should have listened to some of you guys who were saying he could match Carlos Lee's production if given 500+ AB's.

[MadScientist]

Zito makes Prince unhappy. Next time up, Prince will make us happy.

 

Come on Hall, slam it.
