Put Green at 1B and I don't think that lineup is to bad other than SS. Not much worse than what we expected anyway.

[Raw Biz]

Roenicke needs to stop with the musical chairs. I don't think constant tinkering will help anyone get into a groove. He really needs to pick something and stick with it, other than giving a guy the occasional day off (like Weeks). Personally, I'd have Aoki as the everyday CF with Morgan getting a start or two a week and Green as the everyday 1B (except giving Weeks/ARam a day off here and there).

[3and2Fastball]

I think Green would need to start putting up a .400 batting average week in and week out before Roenicke would start him

I am not sure that would be enough. Unfortunately my faith in DPR making good choices is gone, done, kaput.

[3and2Fastball]

So basically, one walk off pinch hit home run by Green would equal him getting 3 starts in a row? And then if he hits .500 in those 3 starts he'll more starts? Is that basically it?

I'd rather see Green as well but this might explain something:

 

Joe Block ‏ @joe_block

#Brewers Travis Ishikawa in 7 starts at 1B: 7-for-22 (.318), 2 HR, 6 RBI

It explains that our manager likes small samples which we already knew.

[owbc]

Roof closing already?

[Raw Biz]

Crap. The Nashville Sounds will soon become the Milwaukee Brewers.

[cnycerveceros]

Whoo! Clutch hit!

[cnycerveceros]

Served up an 0-2 pitch. Nice to see the crew take advantage.

[logan82]

Yeah that Morgan guy is not good on defense.

[Raw Biz]

Wow, Brewers' defense coming to play tonight.

[jjkoestler]

Wow. What a catch. Well done, Nyjer.

[chickinbrickin]

Sad it takes a crap load of injuries for RRR to finally put Lucroy where he belongs in the lineup.

[yfinn6]

Something is happening here..

[ELCABALLO45]

Oh my!

[Schlitz001]

The Brewers have only been ahead and stayed ahead in 4 games this entire season, and 2 of those were 1 run games. I'm sick of the nail biters. I want a blowout win.

where are the pirates when you need them?!

I don't think anyone was advocating putting Lucroy ahead of Gamel. Gonzalez maybe.

[Schlitz001]

Mark A just mentioned that Izturis is at least as good as Yuni B on defense. So that's reassuring.

No but there were people advocating Gamel #2 which would have let Lucroy move up to #6 against LHP and #7 vs RHP. At the very least get Lucroy out of #8.

My jaw dropped when I heard him say that... had to logon and make sure I heard right on here.
