Ryan Braun not in the lineup due to a sore elbow from being hit by a pitch yesterday. Optimistic he'll play Friday, but we'll see.

[TURBO]

Another day, another new line-up. If I was a player on this team, I'd grow tired of this hodge-podge line-up day in and day out.

 

Why not leave Ramirez at #4, where he always is and put Hart at #3. It isn't like there will be any kind of permanent change, when Braun is back, he will be back in the #3 hole.

 

If this is a one or 2 day thing, Ramirez stays comfortable in the 4 spot.

 

Too much changing around every day, no one is ever able to get into any kind of rhythm.

 

I just don't get it.

[dlk9s]

I'm so excited.

If I was a player on this team, I'd shut up, take advantage of any playing time opportunities, and try to win some ball games (or at least not lose in such embarrassing fashion).

If changing spots in the batting order effects a player's performance I would be looking for a different player.

 

Isn't one of everyone's biggest complaints about Ron, and Ned when he managed, that his order was based on what position you played. Nice to see him not do that.

With Braun being out via HBP I think it is time for the Brewers pitchers to start working the inside haalf of the plate more. It seems like they are all afraid to hit someone and it sure doesn't seem to bother opposing pitchers. Just sayin.

[sauveb]

Ramirez is a much better fielding 3rd baseman than I thought he would be. That was a nice play.

[markedman5]

Rickie..................about time!

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

Why does Ron even bother going out to argue, when all he does is stand there?

 

Chalk up another terrible call by MLB umpires.

[ecjimg]

Always like to see Bailey struggle, the consensus top high school pitcher available in the draft when the Brewers got cute and took Mark Rogers instead.

[ecjimg]

And they didnt "bleep out" Lucroy's "banned utterance". I guess no one is watching anyway.

For those of us without access to FSWI...could you explain that a little more?

[ecjimg]

Sounded to me that he said the ******(s) word when his teamates were throwing peanuts at him

[ecjimg]

well, that didnt work.

Ok, it begins with an A

I realize you need to complain about RRR everyday, but seriously, how many times have you made a complaint like this;

 

RR wanted Rickie to bat 6th, therefore, anyone that starts for Rickie, bats in Rickie's spot.

 

Rickie bats 6th, therefore Conrad bats 6th.

 

...

 

That would make our managers head explode, having to actually stratigize when creating a line-up...

 

So today he doesn't just stick Aoki or Gomez into Braun's spot and you're mad that he's shuffled the lineup instead. At least try to have some objectivity for crying out loud.

I would really like to see RRR "pull a Yost" just once.

[sauveb]

Wow, Ransom and Weeks go yard in the same game. I think I will go and buy a Powerball ticket.

[ecjimg]

Guess Rock and BA dont read mlb.com. Apodaca is one of the creators of the Rockies odd pitching philosophy. And he was re-assigned to front office.

[AZBrewCrew]

Greinke sure is putting on a good show offensively for the scouts today.

[sauveb]

Nyjer, your act is getting old. So is your inability to play fundamental baseball.

[Funketown]

Did Roenicke just call a sacrifice with 1st and 2nd, no outs, and the pitcher on 2nd? Was that Morgan?

 

Brilliant. Get the first two men on base and give the other team two outs.

[rluzinski]

Why are we even playing small ball with 2 on and the heart of the order coming up?

 

And you know what, sacrifices bunt attempts fail all the time. The suggestion that fundamental baseball means your starting pitcher will never get forced out at third on a bunt attempt....
