[sheethead]

Nolasco hasn't been good against the Brewers, but he hasn't faced them at home since 2006. I've started to DVR the games. That way I only waste about 45 minutes rather than 3.5 hours each day.

[TooLiveBrew]

Bush returns to the scene of the crime. The velocity-sapping, turned-him-into-replacement-caliber-fodder crime. That'll probably be weird for him.

[brewmann04]

wow someone was dead on yeasterday saying Edmonds will be in the starting lineup tonight.

[BrewCrewForever]

Edmonds in CF, is this a joke? Of course not, just a sad reality.

[TooLiveBrew]

I actually like the lineup a lot if this team were seriously contending right now. I don't believe the Brewers are, so of course I'd rather see Gomez get as many PAs as possible. Gomez hasn't had a day off in the past seven, so maybe it's just a good time to get him a bit of rest.

 

In terms of being an optimized lineup, I think it's pretty good. I like Kottaras at #2, and the only change I would probably make overall would be to flip-flop Hart & Edmonds (assuming a healthy, full-speed Edmonds).

[Invader3K]

I think TLB hit the nail on the head. They probably just want to give Gomez a needed day off. Yeah, not exciting to see Edmonds in there, but I'd rather see him play than risk Gomez getting overworked.

[crewcrazy]

I think with Bush on the mound, I would've preferred someone in center that can protect the gaps a little better than Edmonds. Hopefully Bush can keep it in the infield, though. Let's avoid the ugly 6th inning today, guys.

[owbc]

I'm in Miami. It's terribly hot and humid. I see why nobody goes to the games.

[trwi7]

How much longer can Bush stay in the rotation? 86 up in the zone is just gross.

[trwi7]

HR and triple. Can he give up the cycle in the 1st?

[Dragonbait]

2 batters and they are half-way to the Menards BIG inning......

[trwi7]

Now just a double away. Might as well make it 4-4.

[benji]

Dave Bush is not the same. 3 straight hits. Yuck!

[DHonks]

wow, Loe might be in VERY soon

[trwi7]

CYCLE!!!!!!!!

[benji]

Who else is left to call up. I think the Brewers are out of pitchers in Nashville?

[valpocrewsader]

First time I've ever seen a team hit for a collective cycle with as few as their first five batters.

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

Is it bad that I was cheering for the Uggla double?

 

I can't even get mad anymore, it's so laughable.

[TheCrew07]

I'm not that type of guy that normally slows down to look at an accident, but for some reason I'm morbidly curious about this year's Brewer team even though I have no confidence in the pitching and I keep watching these games even though I know I'll just end up thinking about how pissed I am at Melvin.

[pete]

Dave Bush is the same. I'm sick of hearing about the stupid line drive.

[dlk9s]

Dave Bush is the same. I'm sick of hearing about the stupid line drive.

Just because you are sick of hearing about it doesn't mean that there hasn't been a noticeable difference in his pitching ability before and after that moment.

[pete]

He sucked mightily the game before.

[Baldkin]

And CC Sabathia sucked mightily his first start for the Brewers.

[Funketown]

Dave Bush is the same. I'm sick of hearing about the stupid line drive.

Even if it wasn't the line drive, there's no ignoring the fact that Bush's velocity on his fastball is down 2.2 MPH since last year.

 

As I've said before, he's toast.
