McGehee not in the lineup, Kotsay in the lineup. Let the speculation about that roster move begin. I actually like this lineup a lot. Hart has been slumping, and McGehee is horrible. Niether playing makes this a great lineup. Gamel hitting 5th will hopefully help too.

[crewcrazy]

Not totally related to this game, but Jordan Schelling tweets that Carlos Gomez is taking grounders at first during warmups. That's...interesting.

[pretendastronaut]

McCalvy tweeted that McGehee is getting a few days off. Also that he wad pretty down last night.

[pebadger]

At stake tonight: Not being tied with the Pittsburgh Pirates in the loss column.

[davego]

Playoff teams break streaks tonight.

[trwi7]

Brian just said Gamel may get a start at 3rd tomorrow.

[tomwopat]

Looks like Gamel is at 1B. Anyone know why?

[trwi7]

Early deficit. Shocking.

[theavrock]

To give Prince a day off in the field.

[pebadger]

Innings played this road trip to date: 37

Innings led by Brewers on the road trip: 3 (all in one game)

[trwi7]

Narveson with 26 pitches in 1 inning, Pavano with 20 pitches in 2. Par for the course.

[pebadger]

That's a victory. Expanding on the above.

 

Of the now 35 innings the Brewers have not led on this trip, they actually been BEHIND in every single inning. They ave trailed 31 of those 35 by at least 2 runs. So only being down 1 run at the end of an inning has only happened 4 times on this trip. 2 of them tonight and all of them in Minnesota.

[theavrock]

God I hate Kotsay.

[trwi7]

Gritty three pitch strikeout by Kotsay.

[davego]

Koskey...

[cnycerveceros]

Is there any reason to watch this team play on the road?

[theavrock]

This team is so frustrating. This is exactly why all the "oh we are still in first talk" was so dumb. We should have been up by a lot more than 3 games and RRR/DM's sucktastic bench/managerial decisions cost us.

 

Just because we were in first didn't mean we shouldn't be maximizing our talents.

 

Yuck.

[ninja33]

22! at least we've got that.

[cnycerveceros]

Ryan Braun.

[markedman5]

So I guess we can't use the "its the Yankees" or" its the Red Sox" excuse anymore?

 

 

 

They just seem so mentally fragile on the road. Starters give up runs early and the hitters just kind of go through the motions.

 

I was chastised the other night for suggesting that RR close the doors for a little post game meeting. I'm not suggesting that he needs to read them the riot act but something needs to be said to at least try and get them to relax and start playing decent baseball again.

 

If RR doesn't have it in him then they need one of the players to step up because this team just looks shellshocked right now.

[trwi7]

Absolutely pathetic at bat by Fielder.

Now it makes a bit more sense. Perhaps you were prophetic earlier, I don't know, but at that time it was exactly 3 innings into a bad game after a very good series against the Twins. It's now 3 games later and a shakeup may be necessary.

[pebadger]

I'm starting to think there is a chance that by the end of July Braun's hit streak will be more important than the standings.

[wibadgers23]

Everybody outside of Braun seems to be struggling at the plate right now. Not good.
