[Invader3K]

I'll be at this one tonight. Go Brewers.

[crewcrazy]

Well, this is interesting, to say the least.

 

Escobar RF

Counsell SS

Weeks 2B

Fielder 1B

McGehee 3B

Cain CF

Inglett LF

Lucroy C

Narveson P

 

Not a typo.

 

Edit: Haudricourt says that Hart gets the night off with a stiff back (after he was pulled early yesterday), and Braun gets the day off with a sore wrist. Looks like Dickerson isn't getting into town until 5 PM.

[Cracked Bat Collector]

crewcrazy, I thought that was a very strange lineup as well when I read it on jsonline. Why move Weeks from the leadoff spot when he's done so well there and been there all season?

[hawing]

Adam McCalvy's explanation/interpretation of the lineup. Not that it's any less bizarre as a result. It's like Ken put the roster in one of those pop-o-matic dice shaking things like the old Trouble board game had, and used the results to make his lineup.

 

And here I'd just emailed my mom to assure her that if Corey had left Sunday's game due to injury, it would have been announced by now. She's going to doubt me now! /shaking fist at Ken/

[PrinceEatMeat]

Crazy lineup. I like it.

[WisconsinSportsRule]

Rickie batting third?

 

Sign me up.

[Invader3K]

Not really excited to not see Braun or Hart in there tonight. I guess with not a lot of power hitters in the lineup, Macha was forced to try Escobar in the leadoff spot.

[Funketown]

Kudos to Macha for batting Rickie 3rd, but why not:

 

CF Cain

LF Inglett

2B Weeks

1B Fielder

3B McGehee

C Lucroy

SS Counsell

RF Escobar

P Narveson

[PrinceEatMeat]

Kudos to Macha for batting Rickie 3rd, but why not:

 

CF Cain

LF Inglett

2B Weeks

1B Fielder

3B McGehee

C Lucroy

SS Counsell

RF Escobar

P Narveson

Switch Counsell and Inglett and good to go.

[BrewCrewForever]

Weeks could be batting 3rd next season anway, if Cain can prove to get on base enough to bat leadoff at some point.

[And That]

Adam McCalvy's explanation/interpretation of the lineup. Not that it's any less bizarre as a result.

To give credit where it is due, that was actually

-- Jordan Schelling, Associate Reporter.

[PrinceEatMeat]

I could see them going with this next year

 

Cain

Weeks

Hart

Braun

McGehee

Gamel

Escobar

Lucroy

[crewcrazy]

According to a McCalvy tweet, Dickerson missed his flight to Milwaukee, and now won't be arriving until after the game starts. We could be in for a Kevin Mench-style entrance!

[jimmyjeromehardy7]

We could be in for a Kevin Mench-style entrance!

If so, I hope Dickerson's stay in Milwaukee improves from the entrance unlike Mench's.

 

 

[crewcrazy]

Braun apparently hurt his wrist in a collision with Brett Wallace beating out that infield single yesterday. Jordan Schelling with the photo evidence:

He apparently needed x-rays on his wrist. Ugh..right when he was getting hot.

Oh, nuts. I knew Jordan does a lot of what McCalvy does, but I didn't realize he was posting on McCalvy's blog.

Sorry, Jordan, if you read Brewerfan.

[thablingster]

This looks like one of those b-squad lineups from the Yost days. That means this is a guaranteed win. It'll be interesting to see how Escobar fares in RF. Chris Dickerson may need to make a Mench-style entrance if we need a pinch hitter with Braun and Hart down. That leaves our bench as Kottaras. Awesome.

 

Braun sure didn't have any problem flinging his bat yesterday in his final at bat after popping out, so hopefully he's not doing too badly.

[thablingster]

Apparently Dickerson missed a second flight, according to McCalvy. Hopefully he misses the baseball with less frequency than he misses flights.

[crewcrazy]

I feel like we need a platoon name for Adam McCalvy and Jordan Schelling. I like McSchelling, but we can work on that.

 

Apparently Randy Wolf was preparing to play in the outfield if need be. Fun times.

[BrewCrewForever]

Haha, I can't believe all the short handed bench issues this team has had this season. More then I can ever remember.

[PrinceEatMeat]

We really need to go back to a 5-man bench. We can't keep dealing with being so short-handed and having people play out of position all the time.

[WisconsinSportsRule]

I thought that was gone. Whew.

[jeffy]

They have two guys injured and one who apparently can't figure out how to get on a plane. Really does not seem to have much to do with whether there are 4 or 5 guys on the bench.

[BrewCrewForever]

Looks like we are in for a long night with bad ball/strike calls.
