5/29/07 Braves (Smoltz) @ Brewers (Sheets): 7:05 PM CDT

[olliegjw]

I am also of the opinion that Counsell will start at 3rd tonight. Give Braun a day off, against a tough righty, to catch his breath.

[chuckcrim]

Tonight's lineup per JS Online:

 

Brewers

 

2B Rickie Weeks

SS J.J. Hardy

3B Ryan Braun

1B Prince Fielder

C Johnny Estrada

LF Geoff Jenkins

CF Bill Hall

RF Corey Hart

RHP Ben Sheets

 

Nice to see him sticking with Braun. Corey gets the nod after a productive Memorial Day outing.

[patrickgpe]

i would of dropped Ryan down only because its Smoltz who is having a great season. They dropped down Bill Hall to get some pressure off of him, to give to someone playing in his 5th mlb game. Hopefully it works.

[sheetswannabe]

I also would like to see Braun about 7th. But Id also like a win. Whatever gets it boys!

[ryanbraun75]

i was a huge Gwynn supporter earlier, but i really want to see corey hart get his everyday job back. TGJ IMO will be in the starting outfield next year, but i think his offense still needs some work. I think that Corey still has that big bat and he will still have a great year.

 

As far as where Braun has been batting, why did they move him outa the 2 hole?? He had a .500 Average with 1 HR and 3 RBIs there. I think he should be in the 2 Hole. But im just glad to see him there. I love that guy!!

 

And Ben Sheets really needs a huge game. He also needs to be very careful with that blister. I don't want to see him go to the DL at all this year. I want to see if he can win a lot of games this year.

 

and Woogie, can u start a Will Inman Tracker?? That guy is Gold and i can see him up with the club really soon and a rotation of Sheets, Suppan, Capuano, Gallardo, and Inman for 08.

If it were up to me (and its a good thing it's not), I would sit Braun and start Counsell. Braun is sure getting his feet wet in a hurry, seeing some of the best right away, and the Crew not hitting to well, I hope the pressure doesn't stunt his progress.

Plus as I said in a previous post, in the small sample I've seen, Braun is a sure strike out with anything up and away.

Time to end this losing streak. Therefore I have made the decision to attend tonights game with my 3-0 record. I will be sporting my brand new farmers tan.

 

And for anyone who doubts my powers in 2005 I was 10-0 at Brewer games...

[ItsCotter]

Does anyone know if the game tomorrow is going to be blackened out on TBS?

[wOOgiE22]

I highly doubt that it would be blacked out because it isn't on FSN Wi.

 

Also, I will start an Inman tracker

[cruiserx43]

I have to admit the streak is my fault. After I left for Vegas early last week the brew began their slide. My reappearance at work today should all but gurantee an end to this miserable little slide.

[Oldcity]

Corey Hart... in the lineup... against a RIGHTY?

 

Did John Smoltz start throwing with his left hand? Did Tony Gwynn fall ill? There must be a just cause for this.

[giffted1]

Good too see Hart in the lineup again, but I'm not sure about Braun in the 3 spot. I know he'll be there in the future, but they should take a little pressure off him and bat him lower.

[B2k1121]

We are screwed

[endaround]

Hart in the 8th spot is really a waste. He can't steal there.

[tyguy20204]

Here's to an 18K performance from Sheets.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

notice we are starting 8 Brewer draft picks.....I like this lineup...now if we could just develop a catcher... 5 number 1 picks starting for the brewers tonight

[And That]

Here's to an 18K performance from Sheets.

 

Considering they're paying him ~$300K per start, I hope so. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[Time for a Miller]

I like Braun in the 3-hole. I think he might have more power then J.J. and J.J. is a prototypical 2 hole hitter. They do seem highly interchangable though. Go Go Brew Crew, end this terrible skid. Also, I don't want Sheets biting on his finger at all tonight.

[BrewCrewForever]

Hopefully Braun got all his pressing out yesterday to impress the hometown crowd and can get back to hitting like he has all season in AAA and in San Diego.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

anyone got a john smoltz voodoo doll ? insert pins and needles now. the right arm would be a good place to start.

[tomwopat]

Ryan Braun goes through the oddest contortions when he's getting stretched out.

[EdgarDiazRocks]

I;m fairly sure at this point that Ned picks his lineups out with Vanna White and a Big Wheel.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

didnt bill just say sheets needed to limit the long ball

[B2k1121]

Game over

[BrewCrewForever]

That just about sums up this month.
