And they are starting to get hurt and fall apart, with a Brewers win, this could be an awsome day.

Radar

 

Doesn't look good. I'm not a meteorologist, but I did stay in my own bed last night.

[wOOgiE22]

Not looking good at all. Looks like the rain has just hit the edge of St Louis. Unless something dramatic happens, I don't think we will be seeing Brewer baseball tonight http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

[sargennm]

I live in St. Louis and have ticekts for the game tonight. It sounds like the Cardnals think the worst of it will come after the game. Expect that they'll at least try to get it in tonight.

[TheBwaz]

Well, I don't mean to be a wet blanket or anything (pun intended) but unless the Cardinals have some sort of invisible force field, they are gonna get some major rain.

 

Unless LaRussa can drink it all.

 

What? Too soon?

[DHonks]

actually, radar looks sort of promising. The storm is turning a bit northward, and with 2 hours till game time, I can see it being played with only light rain. The southerly edge of the system appears a bit weaker. Perhaps the game starts with around a 20 minute delay.

[southpaw121505]

I had the same idea as you Crewin2004.. Drink some brews, maybe grill some burgers or brats, and watch the game with the lady....Two days in a row? come onnnnn

[BrewCrewForever]

Yeah two days in a row with out Brewer baseball in season is not acceptable. Either way I got the burgers, grill and beers ready. If the Crew don't play, I think Im gonna watch the Braves vs Marlins game on TBS.

Hall benched again? Graffy instead of Counsell against a RHP? Come on Ned.

Never too soon for a drunken LaRussa joke.

[thefutureishere2006]

wheres hallhttp://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/embarassed.gif

[iluvlamp]

Is Hall hurt? What's with all this sitting on the bench crap?

[brettac1]

Yeah, that's odd.

 

Though I was all for Gross every day in CF before the season started, it was with Hall playing every day at 3B.

[monkeyman343434]

because he's looked completely lost at the plate so far this year? and we need to beat the cards, and gross had an OPS of over .900 vs. righties last year? yeah, small sample, i know

btw, ... not in blue, i wish CC was starting tonight too, although graffy does need to get his ABs in too to stay fresh

[iluvlamp]

Ned is notorious for letting his guys hit out of a slump. Something is up. What if it is a rain-out, no Hall for tomorrow? They just paid this guy millions and they are sitting him?

 

 

FREE BILL HALL!!!

[brettac1]

They don't "need" to win this game. It's April 13th. They need to let Hall just play through this thing. I love Gross, but if you're going to bench someone why not the 3B platoon?

[thefutureishere2006]

why can't billy play third and gross in center? that would be ideal until braun was called up anyway. I know i know bill is the CF now...

[BrewCrewForever]

I mean yeah Hall is struggling but you got let him work it out on the field. I agree with the day off Wednesday, but not two in a row.

[tyguy20204]

If for some reason LaRussa doesn't show up for the game, check all the stoplights surrounding Busch Stadium.

[iluvlamp]

That would be hilarious considering the games in St. Louis.

[DHonks]

Interesting to see that Hall isn't in there despite some success off of Reyes. Although I choose not to blame Yost. More often than not, when there's a bullpen or lineup decision that seems odd, we later find out that there was a very good reason for it. It could be that the field is wet and Hall has had a tight hamstring, or something along those lines.

[tommyboy42609]

just posting this b/c for some reason the posts wont refresh until i post and the chatroom wont work for me, just want to see whats going on.

[bucks2281]

i hope that this won't evolve into a situation where yost underplays an injury, and eventually the player is out for a significant part of the season. i don't see a reason why hall would be out 2 games in a row; i suspect a tight hamstring or something like that.

[Roscoe Chill]

If there's an actual reason behind Hall being out again, then fine. If not, just another puzzling move by Yost. Move him down in the order or something. A day off is fine...three days off (with the day off) in April is ridiculous. I don't care what kind of slump he's in. Isn't he supposed to be one of the best hitters on the team?
