Plenty of good seats still available!

[thablingster]

Wolfottaras lives! (lineup pending, of course)

 

It would be a nice way to start the season if the Brewers could take two of three from the Cardinals. Looks like another good day to be out at the ballpark. Oh, Easter baseball.

[hawing]

I'm pumped for this one. Sunny day for a drive to Milwaukee, a return to our beloved central loge seats, AND Wolfottaras. Win! please.

Wonder if Ron will use an Easter Sunday lineup?

Last year on Easter was the rare Hawk game. Brandon Boggs hit a home run, and Counsell, Nieves also both started. This is only the third game, so I'm not sure how early in the season is appropriate to roll out a Sunday lineup.

 

Edit: last year, the Brewers had Wolftaras on the first Sunday of the season. The Reds dominated 12-3. Wolf's line... 4IP, 10H, 6ER.

It is the same starting lineup as yesterday other than the catcher switch:

 

2B Rickie Weeks

CF Nyjer Morgan

LF Ryan Braun

3B Aramis Ramirez

RF Corey Hart

1B Mat Gamel

SS Alex Gonzalez

C George Kottaras

LHP Randy Wolf

[MVP2110]

Dont really mind Kottaras starting today. Lucroy didnt look took good at the plate yesterday so Im hoping Wolf pitches well and we can take the series

[3and2Fastball]

Dont really mind Kottaras starting today.

 

It is nice when Kottaras starting happens to line up with a right hander throwing for the opponent

[MVP2110]

that is true. Im hoping now that when a lefty is starting RRR will start Lucroy. Hopefully spring training helped whatever gap there was between Wolf and Lucroy

[tigerbrew]

Go Wolf !! Go Brewers !!

[Schlitz001]

This will be the first game of the year I can watch. Go Crew!!

 

Congrats to Prince Fielder who just got his 1,000th hit.

Congrats to Prince Fielder who just got his 1,000th hit.

 

Who? The guy who is related to Cecil Fielder? Oh yeah, kinda forgot about him... he's a DH, right?

[ttsather]

Looking forward to our shot to take the series. Can't say enough how great it is to have baseball back. I wonder when it'll feel like we're really entrenched in the season (maybe some already feel that way?)

[AZBrewCrew]

And Braun just got picked off to end the inning

[Nottso]

Crazy old man with smart phone is away from home. Is there some way for me to watch the game on this thing?

only if you pay for mlb.tv

[3and2Fastball]

why exactly is Kottaras hitting after Gonzalez? Is that part of Ron Roenicke's contract that all Catchers must hit 8th?

[TURBO]

Gonzalez MUST hit 6th or 7th.

 

Catcher MUST hit 8th.

 

RR has it in his mind, so it is a done deal until September.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

57 mph curve...awesome, but gotta be a strike to win the pool.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Gameday sure looks like Wolf is getting squeezed

[ttsather]

Man, Rafael Furcal and the Brewers. Oy.

[brewmann04]

what is Wolf doing throwing a lollipop to the pitcher. he the cause for that second run

[ttsather]

It'd be nice if Wolf could get that inside strike that Lynn just got against Rickie.

[3and2Fastball]

RR has it in his mind, so it is a done deal until September.

 

What happens in September?

[jjkoestler]

Haven't been able to watch the game. How does Wolf look?
