Per Witrado:

 

Jody Gerut is getting the start in right field tonight and he'll be hitting at the top of the order. I assume this is more of Ken Macha not wanting to put "pressure" on Alcides Escobar by hitting him at the top.

 

BREWERS

RF Jody Gerut

2B Craig Counsell

LF Ryan Braun

1B Prince Fielder

3B Casey McGehee

CF Mike Cameron

C Jason Kendall

SS Alcides Escobar

RHP Braden Looper

[trwi7]

Kendall batting ahead of Escobar is just ugh. It's like Macha is intentionally trying to piss the fanbase off.

[sheethead]

Craig Counsel is starting to remind me that he is indeed Craig Counsel. August: .213/.290/.295/.585

[Buckylovesbeer]

Well heres to the hope that tonight ends a little better. Lets Go Crew!

[BrewCrewForever]

Looper goes Looper. Another HR given up. My goodness, 7 straight starts giving one up.

[nate82]

Why does it feel as though Nyx has hit the majority of his home runs against the Brewers this year?

[thablingster]

Did Laynce Nix hit two home runs in his entire time with us? The magic internet says no. That said, he only had a whopping 61 PA.

 

Who kills us more, former Brewers, or former Pirates? Discuss. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[crewcrazy]

Looper's now only 5 HR allowed away from breaking Wayne Franklin's team record. At least it was a solo shot.

4 of his 13...but 3 in the last 24 hours.

Heaven forbid that the Brewers should face a former teammate who has also been a Pirate. Every at-bat would be a career day; every pitch a no-hitter; every fielding opportunity the equivalent of nine unassisted triple plays.

 

May I hope that Braden doesn't break the HR-allowed record tonight?

[trwi7]

Hilarious. Macha uses a hit and run with McGehee being the base runner. Maybe he doesn't know that his knee is busted up.

How pissed will we be when Suppan tosses a perfect game against the Brewers as a member of the Reds in a couple years?

[hawing]

Yep, sheethead, that would be nightmarish.

 

Back to this game...Prince, you could be really useful right about now.

[trwi7]

Watching paint dry > Watching Bill Schroeder getting his hair cut.

[hawing]

There should be no grownups named Corky.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Looked like it was heading foul...but need to make a quick decision there. Can't fault Jason.

 

I'd love to get my haircut by DeFilice...I'm a righty so he'd have no problem polishing me off.

[BrewCrewForever]

There should be no grownups named Corky.

Got to agree with you hawing, I laugh a little every time I hear the name Corky Miller and see him come to the plate.

[trwi7]

Boy, that McGehee sure is a good defender.

 

LOL at Bill blaming his knee for that play.

[hawing]

It doesn't help when grownups named Corky score on our team, either.

 

C'mon, Corky? There was the Murphy Brown character played by Faith Ford, but the name Corky Sherwood-Forest was clearly a joke.

In news unrelated to my Corky complaint...whoa, Jody, way to groove it, baby.

[trwi7]

Jody Gerut has been awesome since the all-star break.

[bthurley19]

Dusty Baker adding to his resume for the Worst Manager of the Decade award

[hawing]

Please don't give it back, Braden.

[brewers19]

Would you rather have this Corky, hawing?

[hawing]

Bah! No Corkys! (or Corkies)

 

Hey, look, Braden's out of the 6th, and for the moment at least, in line for a quality start.
