Please Brewers do something today to keep me interested in this season.

[hawing]

Yuni, Yuni, Yuniyuniyuni. We meet again. I don't know how to feel.

 

Should FS Wisconsin happen to show anyone in a Kottaras shirt, it could be me.

[TURBO]

Watching "Wolfie" pitch is hard damn work... Not looking forward to this game, but like an addict, I'll be tuning in...

[TURBO]

No Green, and "Gomie" in the 2 hole.

 

UUUGHHHH!

[PrinceEatMeat]

No Green, and "Gomie" in the 2 hole.

 

UUUGHHHH!

 

Actually can't really complain vs. a LHP. The only other option is for Hart to stick at leadoff, but I like Aoki there. Hart at 5 is far better than Weeks.

[topper09er]

Look at those 2 hitters, .287 OBP for Gomez (career .289 vs LHP) and .309 for Betancourt (.306 career vs LHP).

 

And both of these managers will be at the allstar game.

[logan82]

This is a virtual cornucopia of managing ineptitude.

[TURBO]

This is a virtual cornucopia of managing ineptitude.

 

Now that right there is funny!

[RockCoCougars]

I expect a big offensive output tonight. It seems like the situation with Sanchez is one that the Brewers historically exploit (guy off injury). I'm going to say at least 6 runs.... hopefully the Royals don't score even more off Wolfie.

[dlk9s]

Well what do you know? A first inning deficit.

[markedman5]

Why don't we just start the game down 1-0 in the 2nd inning and save a little time?

[TURBO]

and once again, I tune in a little late to find us down by a run...It is amazing how often that happens.

[RightFieldCoder]

Gomez is batting 2nd so Hart can get more RBIs?!?!? My head hurts so bad. I'm done with RRR.

[Glennron]

Roenicke's reasoning for batting Hart 5th is that he's not going to get enough RBI's leading off and he wants to get him RBI opportunities.

 

However, putting Hart fifth automatically means putting Gomez 2nd, thus resulting in fewer potential baserunners for Corey Hart.

[TURBO]

he is a dweeb.

RRR on latest lineup shuffle “It’s hard to sit by and not do anything when we’re struggling offensively

[logan82]

So the manager put Hart #5 so he can get more RBI instead of putting guys with good OBP in front of Braun and Ramirez.

 

The worst part about our offense is a poor OBP. Let's spread out the guys who can get on base instead of bunching them all together so our batting order will have balance.

This shouldn't be surprising since he finds it hard to sit by and not do anything when our offense isn't struggling.

[markedman5]

So according to Rock we are 3-17 in games we don't hit a HR?

 

Hard to be more one dimensional then that......Big ball park......Gomez, Aoki, Maysonet, Ransom and Weeks in the lineup.....why don't I feel confident?

[Raw Biz]

I don't think I've ever seen 3 bunt singles in a row. Shocking.

[markedman5]

lol....3 infield hits in a row...it's like they are trying to prove the numbers wrong....

[logan82]

No runs here would be a nightmare. It would just encourage our manager to play more small ball.

[rluzinski]

Wow

[Funketown]

Make it four infield hits. I'm as staunch a big ball guy as there is but I had to smile after the twp bunt singles.
