woo hoo estradas not batting 5th! the thougght-to-be-non-existant speck of light surrounded by the black hole that is our 9-1-2 in the lineup. oh well, if i want to be my normal glass is 3/4 full self id say counsell and graffy have looked better lately and i am convinced gross can hit rightys pretty well so maybe this will work.

Craig Counsell and Tony G. should never be batting #1 and #2 in any line-up on any night. I don't mind giving Braun a night off toinight but the top of the line-up is disgusting.

[dhirt23]

I don't see boston,new york(both of them),detroit and those type teams changing there lineup so much. Also the win or lose with there starters for the most part there subs are just that asked to play 1 maybe 2 times a week and that is it, when there sub has a good day they say he did his job and back to the bench till next time not great now we will play for the next few games.

I'm going to put on my #4 jersey and try and think like Ned. Please bear with me. This is Ned talking not SBS.

#4? Are you thinking as Molitor or Brett Favre?

[markedman5]

Fielder has started every game but one this year. Ned doesn't seem to feel he needs a day off.

 

Why give the kid a day off after an off day when he has been hitting the crap out of the ball?

 

If you want to give him a rest in the field he should be DHing.

 

Outside of Prince he has been our best hitter since he has been up.

 

There will be plenty of time to give him a day off when he goes into a little slump...no need to do it now.

[COOOOP]

Let's play ball!

 

I am not a big fan of Counsanino batting 1 and 2, oh well, in Ned trust!

[endaround]

Braun has had lots of time off this season. Why he needs a day off during the time Weeks is out is beyond me.

[brewcrew00]

This ump is drunk or something. Counsell's strikeout pitch wasn't even close!

[Vgmastr]

Nice of the ump to give Verlander about two feet off the plate.

[AJ Love]

I think Ned might be the one who needs a game or two off. This lineup is his most ridiculous yet!

[crewcrazy]

Well at least J.J. made contact in his first at-bat. Also, I'm waiting for Bill Hall to trip over a flock of birds tonight. That would be fun.

[brewerjamie15]

I didn't see the lineup for today's game to prepare me for the horror that is the top of our order. I tuned in the game and I see Counell up there in his contorted, painful looking stance go down on a K. He was then followed by Tony Graffanino. I don't often question Nedly's line ups, but what the heck is this?

I've seen grandmothers with a tougher 1-2 combination!

[olliegjw]

The announcers said that Braun has a sore wrist, nothing serious. They just wanted to give him an extra day off.

[EdgarDiazRocks]

I love watching Verlander pitch.

 

He's a strike machine.

[brewerjamie15]

This is going well. The Crew is all over this guy.

[bucksman4]

Why is it that the opposing pitcher always seems to get through the Brewers lineup so easily, but it seems like pulling teeth for us to get 3 outs?

[wisconsinfan47]

I'm going to jinx it early before its too late: Justin Verlander is pitching a perfect game.

 

Soup aint doin' too bad though. Also, Comerica is just his kind of ballpark.

 

Edit: Also, no offense to Yost, but I can't help but think how lucky the Tigers are to have Jim Leland.

[brewerjamie15]

Is it possible to give Ned a "mental day off"? Git R Done!

[crewcrazy]

Hey, a base-runner! Nice eye, Billy.

[TauPentaRei]

Is there something fundamentally incorrect about batting your DH 9th?

 

 

I also very much like the idea of giving Ned a day off to watch the game (or a series) from a luxury box.

Oh don't stop there. How about a summer vacation?

 

Just take the summer off Ned, you deserve it.

[SeriesFinale]

Sup's on

[BrewCrewForever]

I was just going to say Suppan looked really on tonight. Now well probably see a lot of long balls and walks.

[bucksman4]

0-4, 3 K's between Ned's 1-2. Can anyone find a lineup with 2 of the worst players on a team hitting first and second like Ned sets this up? It is ridiculous.

 

And can someone please buy Gabe Gross a ticket to Nashville? He's certainly not getting the job done. Get someone up here who can hit.

Yeah, the second I wrote it I regretted it and then moments later...
