Kotsay has an OPS of 1.404 in 17 PAs against Arroyo including 2 HRs, but it's still a small sample size and almost all of those at bats took place pre-2006 before Arroyo was a Red. I don't care for Mark Kotsay and I hope he hits 3 HRs this afternoon.

[hawing]

Just don't anyone kiss Bronson Arroyo. Come on, Brewers, get off the schneid.

[cheesecup22]

A win would be really nice today, it would be tough to start a season 0-3 after everyone was pretty optimistic just a few days ago.

 

Arroyo usually does pretty well against the crew, and it looks like Kotsay is the only one who has had real success against him in the past. Right now, I dont have much confidence in Wolf against a lineup like the Reds, but the Brewers really need to find a way to win today. It would be nice for the Brewers to have at least 1 win before I head to Miller Park on Tuesday...

[thablingster]

A win would definitely be nice today. I changed my avatar out of superstition, so that has to help, right?

 

Hopefully the Kottaras-Wolf magic of the second half last year can continue.

[trwi7]

It's definitely baseball season. First thunderstorm of the year complete with hail.

[prophet]

So what has to happen for Nyjer Morgan to get a start over Kotsay? Does anyone have any incriminating photos of Roenicke to pass along to him? Kotsay has the range of a sleeping rock. I would love to see Morgan lead-off some game with Weeks batting second just once to see what it's like for Weeks to hit with someone on base.

Keep dreaming. Lol.

[adamb100]

Thats a good start. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[PrinceEatMeat]

Yes! 2 leadoff HR's for Rickie in 3 games!

[ELCABALLO45]

Rickie! What a bomb.

 

Haha, love Carlos trying to go deep as well.

[cheesecup22]

Good job Rickie.. We need some early runs today

 

It seems like Arroyo is either lights or or stuggles.. hopefully the crew can get it going early.

 

Gomez took a huge hack there, that drives me crazy

[PrinceEatMeat]

Weeks might hit 30 solo shots this year, lol. And Gomez continues to be Gomez.

[logan82]

Not seeing the apparent improvement in plate discipline from Gomez yet.

[cheesecup22]

Surprised to see Braun swing right through two balls right down the middle there..

It sure would have been nice to have someone on for that HR. Prophet lives up to his name, props to you

[thablingster]

Cali (Kottaras) needs to bring the beard back. Just sayin'.

 

Nice start for Wolf.

[logan82]

At least Kotsay has some range in RF. Oh crap.

[ELCABALLO45]

Wow nice play by Bentancourt!

[Vgmastr]

Very nice heads up play by Betancourt to turn the DP.

[cheesecup22]

Awesome DP. If phillips slides he is safe for sure

[prophet]

Betancourt with a nice play! I didn't know he was able to do that. Honestly though, I don't think I've seen a Mariners or Royals game in.......ever. So this series is the first I've seen of Betancourt.

[ELCABALLO45]

Did Telly just say "No score here in the 2nd inning of the Brewers and the Reds"?

[young guns]

See Betancourt isn't completely useless. How many 0fers from Kotsay will it take before Morgan gets to start instead of him http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

[cheesecup22]

Brewers D is showing up today so far. Good play Prince.
