With the Brewers' lineup (per the Brewers' facebook page) posted, I'll just sit back and watch bf.net react. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/indifferent.gif

 

Come on, Brewers. Prove why the games aren't played on paper. And if you could send some liners right at Mr. Gloveflip, that'd be swell.

 

Edit: FYI, the lineup posted above (with Diego leading off) was listed as the "corrected" lineup in Facebook. The original lineup had Inglett RF leading off and Edmonds CF in the 6 hole instead of Corey.

I'm just the messenger.

[BrewCrewForever]

Edmonds leading off? I dunno, might as well try it.

 

Not sure it will matter vs. Dempster who owns us.

 

I just hope Bush can go through at least 6 innings. And not give up 5 HR's.

[Baldkin]

He's old, slow, and his OBP has dropped nearly 100 points in his last 60 ABs.

Oh well, at least Gomez can't hit second.

[sheethead]

MIL is 1-9 in Bush's last 10 home starts.

MIL is 3-14 in Bush's last 17 starts vs. CHC.

[TheCrew07]

MIL is 3-14 in Bush's last 17 starts vs. CHC.

Each day I wake up looking for something to be positive about it. Yesterday I completely demoralized by the revelation that Salome was moving to the OF where he's just a guy, and Jeffress was moving to the pen for at least the rest of the season.

 

Today I look at this post with Bush's splits against the Cubs.... *sigh* I don't know why I have to beat the cubs so badly, I just do.

[sheethead]

Sorry Crew, just wanted to set our expectations very low, if they are not there already.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Since it seems like Macha is trying new leadoff hitters to use Weeks in the 2 hole, why not just give Escobar a shot? Oh wait, I forgot that Macha likes him hitting 8th or 9th so he gets as few at-bats as possible and sees nothing to hit in front of the pitcher.

[Funketown]

MIL is 1-9 in Bush's last 10 home starts.

MIL is 3-14 in Bush's last 17 starts vs. CHC.

I think it's time for a home-road platoon!

 

I hate Edmonds leading off less than Gomez in the 2-hole. I think Macha is official in his throw crap at the wall and hope it sticks phase.

Edit: typo

[pete]

I probably like Bush less than anyone around here, but he's good for those unexpected, every now and then, surprising starts where he baffles the opposition through 7 or 8. Its so unexpected today, I'm going to say he does pretty good. Oh wait, he does good when I curse a blue streak at the guy. I dunno.

[pebadger]

At this point I'm willing to settle for fewer than 5 HR allowed in 4 2/3. If that continues Society Insurance will be forced to run a Hard Hats for the Bleachers promotion. Innovative Safety Program!

[AJAY]

Just once, I want to see Dave Bush do something against the Cubs.

 

Just once, I want to see the Brewers hitters do something against Ryan Dempster

 

What are the odds both can happen in the same game?

[pete]

Blue Angels busy practicing overhead. A fly by would have been cool. Also, how does Theriot always get those dinks?

[pete]

Got to handle that throw for the rook Rickie

[Funketown]

Come on Weeks. Catch that ball and it's a clear out.

 

I wonder how many more CS's the crew would have notched if Weeks could catch a throw to second...

[Buckylovesbeer]

Rickie being Rickie....that was terrible

[wibadgers23]

Nice throw there by Lucroy. Should have been handled by Rickie.

[logan82]

I hate Edmonds leading off less than Gomez in the 2-hole. I think Macha is official in his throw crap at the wall and hope it sticks phase.

 

Have to agree with that and I really don't like Edmonds. Just play Gomez in CF and get rid of Edmonds.

 

I hate flippy glove guy.

[PrinceEatMeat]

And Braun fails again with RISP.

Thanks so much for putting that commercial jingle in my head.

 

What's that board game where you start by shaking a bunch of dice? Boggle, maybe? Some days that's what the lineup changes feel like to me.

 

Edit: Wow, over Gameday Audio you can hear the Blue Angels flying around in preparation for the air show.

[PrinceEatMeat]

YES! Corey does it again!

[Funketown]

Hart is slugging 150 points higher than Fielder. Wow.

[jjkoestler]

Just turned on the game. How does Bush look?

[PrinceEatMeat]

Just turned on the game. How does Bush look?

Surprisingly good.

Surprisingly good.

Well, that should do it.
