Chris Barnwell hitting 2nd doesn't make any sense. Anyone else feeling a nice 1-2-3 inning to start the game off?

[jloos19]

Geremi Gonzalez seems like a great, down-to-earth guy, I like to see that.

[jason21nl]

why does everyone else see that barnwell batting second is bad...except for ned?

[adambr2]

I too am puzzled about Barnswell batting 2nd. Wish he wasn't starting at all.

 

BTW -- Reds down 5-0 early to the Indians...

 

Fair or not, guys, the rest of the NL Central is falling apart right before our eyes....let's take advantage!!

[adambr2]

Jenkins, our big masher, with the same amount of HR's as Gross, who has played sparingly this season. I have to admit I find that quite humorous.

[jloos19]

Ahh so that must be why Barnwell is hitting 2nd..

[Brewers77]

All the people bashing Barnwell dont even know who he is. He just came up and Ned knows what he can do and likes him in the 2 hole. Not like billy was not really awful in that spot lately. Give it a rest.

[saget]

You know there is a reason he's been in the minors that long. He's just not that good.

Well, he sure LOOKS like a PITCHER at the plate.

 

I'll admit that not a lot is known about Barnwell, but based on that, do you think there is any chance he is a #2 hitter in the Major Leagues?

 

Don't have a problem with Hall getting a day off, but Brady would be preferable in the #2 tonight.

[JoeH33]

I agree with giving Billy a day or two off since he's been really struggling as of late, I just don't see the point in hitting Barnwell 2nd. Its really not that big of a deal, I just found it strange that Brady wouldn't occupy that spot.

[JoeH33]

These Twins are sure fan's of bunting for basehits.

[JET15]

Villa has got a lot of break on that curve tonight. Sweet. We need him to go deep into the game.

[jloos19]

Joe Mauer is such a good baseball player, and yes, that's an enormous understatement.

EDIT: And Villy strikes him out, well done my young friend.

[JoeH33]

We got Mauer out! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[Tisko]

Villa working from a 3-0 count to strike Mauer out looking, man I like this kid.

[saget]

Carlos Super-nueva!

 

How does Mauer not have a 30 game hitting streak by now?

[JoeH33]

Wow, Carlos is really in a zone right now.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

i bet moeller would have beat that out

[saget]

Moeller would've struck out.

[adambr2]

Urghhh...1-0 if Miller wasn't slower than frozen molasses...

[jloos19]

Damian Miller has to be the slowest person I have ever seen. (Exaggeration)

[adambr2]
