Chris Narveson

2-4 | 4.68

Narveson's last two starts have been stinkers: 7 1/3 innings, 13 hits, 11 earned runs and one frustrated left-hander. "We just have to stay away from that one big inning that he seems to have," manager Ron Roenicke said.

Good lord, is ESPN awful......

 

2 excerpts from the same article here......

 

Sanchez (5-1, 2.57 ERA) is likely to offer the Brewers a stiff

test.The right-hander is 4-0 with a 1.15 ERA and 57 strikeouts in 57 1/3 innings over five starts.

 

So........he's averaging over 11 inning pitched per start, eh?

 

The Brewers look for their longest road winning streak of the season when they attempt to sweep a road series from the Florida Marlins for the first time in 12 years Sunday.

 

 

So......if the Brewers win today, are they automatically forfeiting tomorrow's game to the Brewers?

 

Good grief ESPN, proofreading is your friend.

[jwill535]

Lineup = UGHHHH!!!

 

Which means of course they will score 8 runs.

[Giraldo8]

This will be a very tough game. Sanchez has been excellent this year. No real complaints about the lineup as I expected McGehee to be sitting.

[DuWayne Steurer]

McGehee needs to sit down a few games. Last night was hopefully an absolute lowest point for his career.

 

I like that lineup with Morgan 2 and Hart 5 otherwise though.

[crewcrazy]

To be fair, it looks like ESPN gets their previews from STATS LLC. But yeah, some proofreading would be nice.

 

Goodness gracious is that lineup ugly, but at least the top 6 should hit, right?

[hawing]

Come on, Narv. Avoid the big inning. Give me something decent to listen to on the car radio today.

[PrinceEatMeat]

What's wrong with this lineup? McGehee and Betancourt both suck right now. Counsell and Wilson starting may be an improvement at this point. Plus, our 6 best hitters are batting 1-6 in the order. I don't see anything wrong with it.

They're absolutely fine 1-6. This is way better than some of the "Sunday Day Game" lineups we've seen. I find it difficult to believe Counsell and Wilson could underperform what YuniB and Casey are doing right now.

[jwill535]

I guess my point being that your best back ups are Counsell and Wilson.

[logan82]

I don't think the lineup is that bad. I would prefer McGehee over Wilson(not at SS obviously) but other than that Counsell instead of McGehee or Betancourt against a RHP isn't a bad idea.

[Hofbraunhaus]

My initial reaction to the lineup was that it was just awful but then I realized that they are just replacing Casey and Yuni who haven't performed well at all lately. 1-6 looks good as always. It'll be a tough game with Sanchez pitching but hopefully we can pull out the victory and secure a series win.

[JCREW]

Best 1-6 of the year so far IMO, and best 3B/SS defensive combo all year. Can't complain.

[DuWayne Steurer]

I guess my point being that your best back ups are Counsell and Wilson.

Aside from Dom Brown, the Phillies have 4 guys on their bench with OPS below .700

 

The Marlins have 3 guys on their bench with OPS below .600.

 

In fact, all around the league, everyone has a bench full of guys that shouldn't be starting. That's why they're bench players.

 

I'm finding teams that if you cumulatively add up their bench numbers, I'll bet they don't OPS .600.

 

The Braves with Hinske and Ross are the one team I can find with a nice bench.

 

Point being, you're not going to find too many starting caliber guys riding the pine around the league.

[fondybrewfan]

Yuni B might have had his best stretch as a Brewer in the last 3 days; not that that is saying much though. He has 5 hits in his last 12 AB's. I know extremely small sample size. 8 walks the entire year though; that is just painfully horrendous. Counsell has 10 walks in 1/4th the plate appearances.

 

Wilson can't possibly be any worse than Casey right now so I think the lineup out there is actually pretty darn solid.

 

I fully expect to lose today though; just not a good pitching match up at all.

[berniebrewer4life]

i roll into work just as this game is about to start. Hopefully we can light up sanchez, but if not, i won't be too disappointed.

 

 

As everybody else has said, 1-6 looks awesome.

[Funketown]

Don't mind seeing McGehee getting the day off, nor can I complain about Wilson being in the lineup over Betancourt.

[ilovebeer]

I like the lineup. Casey needs a few days off.

[adambr2]

That was no doubt a 4 strike strikeout on Prince.

[ilovebeer]

The Reds are down 3 still top first.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

This will be the toughest test of the series...their #2 (#1 without JJ) vs. our struggling #5.

 

I have no problem with this lineup. CC has a better shot of getting something going and plays good D...Wilson can't be much worse that Yuni.

Agree with you Prince.. Casey is rotten right now and Yuni is Yuni. At thevery least we have sold gloves on the left side of the infield today.

 

 

[theavrock]

Narv seems to be having trouble locating.

[ELCABALLO45]

Nice play Weeks.

 

With that said, I don't feel good about today. Prove me wrong Brewers

[ilovebeer]

yes got of of tham jam, no harm done.
