So Damian Miller is playing at first base tonight? Just heard it on the radio.

[TheEndless7]

well I expected to see Miller in the line up tonight

 

Not at first base though...

Does Yost think he gets extra points for having the most varied starting lineups?

 

I wonder if Jenkins will sit vs the Lefty tonight? Mench-Hall-Hart would be the logical Outfield

[owbc]

Does tonight's crowd beat the 19,031 that showed up for the Indians game? I'm thinking tonight will be one of the lowest crowds of the season, so there is a definite possibility.

[brewcrew44]

Theres a possibility that the crowd doesnt get to that number. However, with the half price tickets it may be over 20,000.

[sgtcluels]

He must have won in the games I didn't go to! That jerk. Come on Italian stallion.

[BrewCrewForever]

Im okay with Prince getting a day off. I believe this will be his first of the season. I think he was the last regular to get a day off then. Plus gets Damian in the lineup to get a few AB's to stay sharp.

[IslandsAC]

Am I way off base by asking if Corey Hart can still play first base? I would assume he can. Don't we have about 17 outfielders on this team that could fill in for him out there?

 

There's got to be a better way to get Damien out there... hmm, say maybe at catcher, where his defense and pitch calling can be utilized?

 

Maybe it's just a rumor at this point?

[pitchleague]

not mention Prince being 0-for-his-career against Maholm (small sample, I know). Maybe Ned actually looked at *gasp* some statistics to base his decision?

 

Nah.

[IslandsAC]

Gameday shows:

 

Weeks - 2b

Hardy - ss

Mench - lf

Hall - cf

Estrada - c

Hart - rf

Miller - 1b

Graffy - 3b

Vargas - p

 

line up number 11 of 13 on the year?

[AJ Love]

Can Estrada play 1st base? I mean, Miller is the better fielder (pun intended) at catcher of the two, right?

[jloos19]

Or just sit Estrada cause he basically plays everyday, and put Hart at first base.

[brewtank34]

I'm getting very frustrated with the constant changing of the line-up.

Come on Yost, pick a winner and go with it. SICK OF IT!

In all fairness, he seems to still be looking for the winner....I don't mind lineup changes..although I do have a bad feeling about Miller at first base..

[AJ Love]

It would be kinda ironic if Estrada has a rough night behind the plate with Miller at 1B, or if Graffy has a rough night at 3B with Hall in CF, wouldn't it?

 

Although I 'spose it'll be more ironic if Hall has nothing but webgems out there

[SlideBernieSlide]

I'd also imagine with a day game on Thursday, Miller will be behind the plate tommorrow. So maybe Yost was just wanting to get him some looks and play him 2 straight games.

[endaround]

Hey if Rottino was on the club, he or Graffy could play 1B and we wouldn't have to see a 37 year old with bad knees try to streach for plays!

[Oldcity]

Or Yost could just be stubborn and play Gwynn at first to prove a point.

It's only one game so it's not a big deal, but I would hope to God Hart would move over if Fielder was ever out for an extended stretch.

 

They just said it's Miller's first career start at first, and his first appearance there since 2000!

[Oldcity]

Sharp opening inning from Claudio!

[trwi7]

I like Vargas. Solid inning right there 0 BB's and 13 K's so far this year.

[billyhallfan]

I'm really starting to like Rickie Weeks...

[TheEndless7]

Rickie Pop up again!...

 

wait I like that kind of pop up...

 

on a side note, Zambrano gave up 4 in the first.

[COOOOP]

woot! I get home to see "Richie" lead off with a double on the first pitch by Maholm!
