5/25/07 Brewers (Bush) @ Padres (Maddux): 9:05 PM CDT

[BrewCrewForever]

This is what I think, Ned Yost will trot out there tonight.

 

1. Rickie Weeks- 2B

2. Tony Gwynn, Jr.- RF

3. JJ Hardy- SS

4. Prince Fielder- 1B

5. Johnny Estrada- C

6. Geoff Jenkins- LF

7. Bill Hall- CF

8. Ryan Braun- 3B

9. Dave Bush- P

 

No need to bat Braun high at least right away bat him 8th and if he starts hitting move him up. Hall hit very well the game he bat 7th, Id like to see him there.

 

Wow that lineup looks great, Gross, Gwynn or Hart would be nice in RF and in the 2 spot. Overall, no big hole in that lineup.

[BrewCrewForever]

Or maybe this lineup:

 

1. Rickie Weeks- 2B

2. JJ Hardy- SS

3. Ryan Braun- 3B

4. Prince Fielder- 1B

5. Johnny Estrada- C

6. Bill Hall- CF

7. Geoff Jenkins- LF

8. Tony Gwynn- RF

9. Dave Bush- P

I doubt Ned does, but with the way Jenkins hits Maddux...I say move that guy up.

 

2B Weeks

SS Hardy

1B Fielder

LF Jenkins

C Estrada

3B Braun

CF Hall

RF TGJ or Gross...

P Bush

 

or you could play Miller, who has very good splits against Maddux and go...

 

2B Weeks

RF Gywnn

SS Hardy

1B Fielder

LF Jenkins

3B Braun

CF Hall

C Miller

P Bush

[BrewCrewForever]

I just hope Braun doesnt bat 8th and that Hall bats 6 or 7. I think the 8 hole should be batted by Estrada or whoever plays RF.

Here's my line-up for tonight

[AJ Love]

Imagine getting your 1st big league start against Greg Maddux. Wow

[BrewCrewForever]

I think Braun sandwhich between Hardy and Fielder will make him even better. Are lineup actually looks stacked now. I say no matter who plays RF they should bat 8th. Not bad having Hart, Gross or Gwynn in your 8 hole.

[Invader3K]

On the D-List on the radio today, they were saying Braun is expected to start at 3B tonight. Take that FWIW.

[BrewCrewForever]

Braun is expected to start at 3B tonight.

 

He better be.

[tomwopat]

R.I.P. Braun Tracker!

Having Braun up is great. I think that Neddy should make a Rule:

 

When Brauny fields a ball that is not to be a force at third, he is not allowed to throw at all. This will save errors. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

All kidding aside, he's got a cannon for an arm, and a good glove. It's just the mechanics of making that throw accurate and not in the dugout that we got to work on. That's fixable.

[craigharmann]

Just as long as Braun doesn't pull an Abreu from Tuesday night...first throw in the majors WAAAAY offline. I think he'll be just fine. I'm pumped for this game tonight.

[brewerjamie15]

If I hear Neddy call His new third baseman "Brawny" in a post game interview or anything, I'm taking a roll of paper towels to the game.

[saget]

WOOT FOR BRAUN!!

[zzzmanwitz]

WOOT FOR BRAUN!!

 

WOOG(ie) FOR BRAUN!!!

[BrewCrewForever]

I would bet on it that Yost will call him Brawny. Thats what Ned does.

[RoseBowlMtg]

My prediction for tonight is one of the Giles bros lead it off with a bunt seeing how Ryan throws off balance from the start.

 

I'm so fired up for this game!

so if Braun is called up, do we have an Inman tracker?

Yeah, we should have an Inman tracker replace the Braun tracker.

[brewtank34]

I just picked up Braun in all three of my Fantasy Leagues. I'm sooooo excited!!

Braun will bat low.

 

Jenkins should bat 6th again, hes slumping aybe he will break it open today.

 

Weeks is still slumping, he had a 4 hit game wow, he hasnt done much besides that. Following that game hes 1 for 6.

 

Id like to see

 

1.Gwynn RF

2.Weeks 2B

3. Hardy SS

4. Fielder 1B

5. Hall CF

6. Jenkins LF

7. Estrada C

8. Braun 3B!

[Brian the Automator]

I think the worst thing that could happen is that Braun gets pitched around in the #8 spot. I'd want to see him at #7.

 

OF NOTE:

 

Jim Powell will be taking calls 30 minutes before the game, so if you want to take your man-love for Braun to the airwaves, you can.

[BrewCrewForever]

Yeah he has to bat at least 7th. If not hes not going to get anything to hit in front of the pitcher spot. Im sted fast in that whoever is in RF should be batting 8th.

[rickyprinceandjj]

It's the Braun of new day in Brewer baseball.

 

Maybe now Ned will start having a more consistent lineup.

 

Weeks

Gwynn

Hardy

Fielder

Hall

Estrada

Jenkins

Braun

P

 

or

 

Weeks

Hardy

Fielder

Hall

Estrada

Jenkins

Braun

Gwynn/Mench/Gross whoever plays

P

 

I like the first rather than the 2nd.

 

Note to NED: Pick a lineup and keep it for a while.
