Before coming to school in Madison, I never understood why many of you on here complained about Cubs fans.

 

Now I know.

 

Please win.

[PrinceEatMeat]

I really don't understand why Edmonds is getting starts in CF now, and I especially don't understand why he is hitting in the 2 hole.

[Dragonbait]

Try living on the IL border.... Its worse...

Probably has something to do with Gomez going 1-15 with no walks since opening day and Hart scorching the ball last night. Not sure who else you would put in the 2 hole. Escobar hits far too many ground balls and doesn't walk enough to warrant going there.

Or in central Illinois where your surrounded by Cubs and Cardinal fans. It's the closest thing to Hell on Earth. Go Brewers!

I'm guessing that it has more to do with Gomez fouling back to back pitches off of his lower left leg on Saturday. Being a player whose main advantages are based on speed, having a bum wheel really hampers his ability to impact the game.

 

 

[RobDeer 45]

Maybe with another tough(er) righty he wants to wait for Gomez to be in against a guy who will have more success with. But I can see Macha really having issues with Gomez at the plate. It's the complete opposite of what he likes.

[Weeks4MVP]

Looking at the splits, Jim Edmonds is 8-23 off Dempster and has 2 doubles and 2 homers. That may have an impact on it as well.

[trwi7]

Some insane stats for Diego.

 

46.2% of the contact he's made so far have been line drives but he's only hitting .235. Now that's some bad luck.

[craigharmann]

I laugh at the fact that the Cubs leadoff hitter is The Riot. That makes my day. Let's put some space between us and the Scrubbies!!

[sheethead]

Nothing would make my day more than to see a couple of Diego Dingers in Wrigley on opening day.

[Tedaldtada]

Weeks and Braun own Dempster.

[logan82]

Edmonds in the 2 hole isn't the problem. He really shouldn't be starting in CF while we have Gerut on the team. This is just old coach "he has always played in CF" thinking. He looked ok last night but he really didn't field anything except pop-ups. Seriously Macha, get Gerut some at bats. Macha is still doing a horrible job getting guys playing time. A few days from now we will need Gerut to pinch hit and he will not have faced live pitching for a long time. Then he won't get playing time because he isn't hitting well.

[Mike2k33]

C'mon Brewers, lets ruin their opener.

 

Nice to see the city name on today's uniform. Long overdue, IMO.

[Yeti73]

I'm headed to the game right now (provided I can get out of the office). Will be heckled, but hopefully Sharpie has my back and we're not too tired from yesterday!

[trwi7]

Some boos for Soriano. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[Dragonbait]

I keep seein' all the worry about getting Gerut some AB's... what about Inglett?

[The Truth]

Gomez sitting is a combination of 3 things, in my opinion: Macha wants Edmonds in vs a pitcher he has had success against before, and Hart is swinging a hotter bat than Gomez right now. Also, Gomez is recovering from fouling pitches off his lower leg, and while the club isn't talking about it, he probably needs a little recovery time. What will be telling in regards to Gomez' injury is whether he is used as a late inning pinch runner or defensive replacement.

 

The Brewers probably want to give Gomez another day off today, and bring him back on Wednesday

Arrogant Cub fans is redundant.
