Beat the Marlins!!

[Brian the Automator]

Magic Number: 103

[berniebrewer4life]

Oh man, this is a winnable game. Come on boys, let's make it 3 in a row.

[BrewCrewForever]

I crave the 3 game win streak. Come on boys beat up on Kim. He seems to be another one of those pitchers that is really good or really bad. I hope its the latter.

[AJAY]

Don't we normally struggle against Byung Hyung Kim?

[DHonks]

I think lefties hit Kim fairly well. My prediction is that we crush him with about 6 runs in 3 innings. Fielder hits 2 jacks in the game.

[crewcrazy]

Last year, Kim had two very different starts against the Brewers:

 

Aug. 2nd @ COL -- 8 IP, 7 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 5 K, 10 GB, 5 FB, 106 pitches (I remember this entire horrible series too clearly)

Aug. 23rd @ MIL -- 5 IP, 4 H, 6 R, 6 ER, 4 BB, 6 K, 5 GB, 5 FB, 79 pitches

[Bruce Ciskie]

The Brewers' longest first-place run in club history is 61 days, set in 1982 (August 3 through October 3).

 

The Brewers have currently been in first place for 42 straight days, and being up 6.5 games basically guarantees them another week, even if the Cardinals don't lose and the Brewers don't win.

 

I'm intrigued by this, only because it shows how historically bad this franchise has been, how long we've suffered, and how much we should be enjoying this, no matter how frustrating it can be at times. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[iluvlamp]

CRUSH! SMOKE! BROIL!

[jason21nl]

lets crush this guy

[SlideBernieSlide]

Wow. Look at Kim's splits against lefties compared to righties.

 

sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/splits?playerId=4076

 

In 44 total ABs this season, lefties are hitting .400 against him. With a .775 SLG and 1.312 OPS. 16 total hits, 4 HRs and 12 Walks.

 

Compared to righties who are hitting .091 in 40 ABs. With a meesly .159 SLG and .316 OPS. Just 4 hits, 1 HR and 4 Walks.

 

So with that said, I expect we might see Ned load up the lefties. Maybe a line-up like this??

 

CF/TGJ

SS/Hardy

3B/Braun

1B/Fielder

C/Estrada

LF/Jenkins

RF/Gross

2B/Counsell

P/Cappy

[razzzorsharp]

Still, even with the splits, VERY difficult to sit Hart as he has been hitiing the ball well.

[SlideBernieSlide]

Agreed. He deserves it. I actually think Ned, by his hot hand theory, will start Hart. So change that to

 

Hart-Hardy-Braun

Fielder-Estrada-Jenkins

Gross or TGJ-Counsell-Chris

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

You can't sit Corey Hart because his bat is too hot. Keep him out there in the leadoff spot and start Gwynn in center and Jenkins in left. Gotta make hay while it's sunny out.

[ryanbraun75]

Kim's best start this year was against the cubs and they are mostly right handed. Soriano, Lee, Ramirez, DeRosa, Theriot, Murton. I mean obviously he pitches well when there's a lot of righties so lets go with a lefty lineup. Sit some guys on the bench to get those lefties.

[soup can for prez]

I'd like to see Bill Hall have another good game and get really hot

[razzzorsharp]

Lineup I wouldnt mind seeing....

 

1) Hart

2) Hardy

3) Fielder

4) Braun

5) Jenkins

6) Hall

7) Estrada

http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/glasses.gif Gross

 

I would like to see the righties split up a little.

[brettac1]

Yep, Gross should definitely be in there tonight. That's almost a no-brainer. I'd like to see him in the 2nd spot and just bump everyone else down.

[brewtank34]

Razzor.... you put those glasses on the wrong player...it should be our boy Cory Hart, as he wears his sunglasses at night.

Lets keep the streak alive boys!!!

[BrewCrewForever]

I would hate to see Yost sit Billy tonight considering he is set to break out. He has been getting very good wood on the ball the past few games and soon those are going to fall. Keep him there Yost. Go with Jenks/Hall/Hart in the OF.

[BraunsBoyfriend]

You got to go with the lefties tonight.

 

Hell, we even got lucky our left handed hitting pitcher is going tonight.

 

I\It's tricky, to start Corey Hart or not...he's been good lately and really rolling. But Gwynn hasn't played in a few nights and if you're going to play him, this is the night to do it.

 

Probably bench Hall and Hart tonight and use Gwynn and Gross. This keeps the other two rested for tomorrow also.

 

Gwynn (lefty) (CF)

Hardy

Braun

Fielder (lefty)

Jenkins (lefty)

Estrada (lefty)

Gross (lefty) (RF)

Counsell (lefty)

Cappy (lefty)

 

How could you not go with that?

 

And then when they bring in the bullpen we can make late game changes into our righties.

 

You have to play the splits here. This is the perfect opportunity to rest some guys and give other guys a chance. The ultimate platoon lineup.

 

Seriously, look at the guys splits. Hes faced about the same (40 left, 44 right) this year and its an amazing difference. Against righties the guys better than Pedro in his prime. On lefties the guy shouldn't even be in MLB. He looks like he's the kind of guy you want out of the pen to handle a couple righties.

[cruiserx43]

If those splits mean anything to you Miller should be starting over Estrada.

[davemakovec]

I can't imagine sitting Corey Hart right now. Remember when Yost rode Mench's "hot hand" to a .662 OPS?

[Oldcity]

And Corey Hart sits. Lineups from USA Today:

 

Gwynn

Hardy

Braun

Fielder

Estrada

Jenkins

Gross

Counsell

Capuano

 

Abercrombie

Uggla

Ramirez

Cabrera

Willingham

Hermida

Boone

Treanor

Kim

 

Edited to add Florida's lineup

[Oldcity]

Gross should be switched with Gwynn in the lineup.
