I will be at this game in the left field bleachers. MUST WIN.

[Invader3K]

I'm also going, but I have no idea where our seats are (going with friends who have tickets).

[crewcrazy]

Interesting look with the lineup tonight -- Kottaras and his insane walk rate hitting second tonight. I like the idea (lineups for both teams have been edited into the lead post).

[trwi7]

Apparently Ken Macha read my post in the lineup thread on the major league forum. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[wibadgers23]

So glad we called up another one of our top prospects to ride the bench.

[crewcrazy]

So glad we called up another one of our top prospects to ride the bench.

Lucroy's getting the start tomorrow with Randy Wolf pitching. He's apparently being paired with Wolf and another starter, so if it's not Parra it's probably going to be Bush or Narveson. Assuming they stick with that plan, I can't complain too much. If it's only Wolf he's paired with or if they go away from the pairing of pitchers completely, then I'd be right there with you worrying about this turning into another Gamel situation.

[wibadgers23]

Yeah, I was assuming Lucroy would get the start tonight since we went through the entire rotation except for Parra. If he catches two of the starting five pitchers, I'll be happy. I'm not holding my breath though.

[Funketown]

I don't want to see Lucroy rotting on the bench either, but the way Kottaras has been crushing the ball (or, well, leaving the lumber on his shoulder as the ball passes by four times outside the strike zone), it's hard to keep him out of the lineup.

 

Interesting note: Kottaras has 3 singles, 7 doubles, 3 homers, and 21 walks this year. Sounds a bit like a guy I remember named Russell, without the insane strike out numbers.

[RightFieldCoder]

According to the Gameday program:

"The Mets are the only team the Brewers have not pitched a shutout against."

 

Yo decided to change that.

[thablingster]

Even when the Brewers are dressed as the Milwaukee Bears I still find it hard to say "Let's go, Bears." Instead I say "go 'crew!"

[razzzorsharp]

Good hustle by both Weeks and Castillo there. That looked like a softball game.

[crewcrazy]

Even if they don't get any runs here, at least they're making Nieve work hard. Up over 30 pitches already, and he's supposedly only on an 80-pitch limit tonight.

[trwi7]

Raise that trade value, Corey. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[Schlitz001]

And people on this board wanted to DFA Hart before the season started.

[razzzorsharp]

Wow, that is huge to get something there.

[thablingster]

Hart is on fire! It's a good time for it.

[Mr QL]

Year of redemption for Corey Hart

 

awesome

 

if only Prince and Rickie could get hot too.

[razzzorsharp]

Gomez, steal here.

[thablingster]

LOL, Oliver Perez is warming up. Perez and Parra pitching in the same game would be fitting. Two guys with loads of stuff and loads of inconsistency.

[theavrock]

Alright Corey you have officially redeemed yourself. I was holding out, but I can't anymore.

[DannoMac21]

Raise that trade value, Corey. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

Boy you really want the Brewers to be abysmal, eh?

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

They may take the heart off those I Hart NY t-shirts after this weekend...wow.

[owbc]

46-pitch inning for Nieve. That's one of the highest totals that I have seen in a while.

[thablingster]

Hopefully we're starting to see Hart progress back towards his career norms vs. RHP.
