Looks like a Ron Roenicke Special Sunday Lineup^TM.

 

Now watch them put up 8 runs today.

[TURBO]

yuk, off to the T-Rats game I go.

[rluzinski]

Wow, 5th row behind home plate to watch Wolf start and Ransom/Ish at 3B/1B. Thanks RR. Depressing.

Ouch.

[The stache]

But but but....the days off should be "beneficial" per the JS Online.

 

How is it going to be beneficial? Explain that to me, Ron. When we make that late season push for the pl....oh wait, I almost said it, knowing full well we don't have a chance to reach the post season.

 

"Cody's been really good defensively. Really good," Roenicke said. "A utility man, when he can play three positions as well as Cody does, it's really important.

 

He's also striking out 40% of the time he steps to the plate.

 

Thanks, Ron!

[The stache]

Jonathan Lucroy is our cleanup hitter?

[bullox]

Lucroy is catching Wolf?

 

Sign of the Apocalypse. The Mayans just might have been right.

[AZBrewCrew]

Is it sad that this lineup paired with Wolf pitching has me considering hitting the road early today? That being said I'm sure this lineup will put up a 10 spot

[AZBrewCrew]

More awesome baserunning.

[jerichoholicninja]

More awesome baserunning.

 

To be fair, off the bat I assumed that was over the pitcher but Ron should be fired simply for the contact play. He clearly has yet to learn anything about how to manage with a runner on third and less than two outs.

[AZBrewCrew]

Rain delay...well sort of.

[rluzinski]

Rain delay...well sort of.

It was raining for 5 min before the roof even started to close. So now I'm stuck here wet while watching Wolf suck.

[AZBrewCrew]

Yeah I had to drop some tickets off at will call when it started raining. I was surprised when I made it up to the Loge level that the roof was still open.

It's poetic, really.

[bullox]

Randy being Randy.

[Funketown]

Tim Lincecum is 2nd to last in the NL in ERA at 5.45. Wolf's ERA is now 5.88.

 

Good to see Wolf leading the league in something!

[AZBrewCrew]

I've been undefeated while wearing my Maldonado shirsey. It looks like Wolf is doing his best to break that streak

[markedman5]

Couldn't Roenicke/Melvin do suffering Brewer fans a favor and spare us from having to watch Randy Wolf for the rest of the season?

 

I mean I'd rather watch ANYONE else get a chance........

[sdcheezhd]

GoGo temporarily quells the boos for Wolf. Ransom with the Platinum Sombrero and counting over 2 days.

[FullMetalCardigan]

Cody Ransom strikes out at a stultifying rate of once every two plate appearances. Yet his .OBP is still higher than Cesar Izturis this year. I'm trying to figure that one out.

[markedman5]

If I had tickets to this game I'd ask for my money back. It's bad enough that you get stuck with watching Wolf pitch but then our manager basically forfeits the game by giving Hart and AR a day off at the same time.

[LaprilOne]

Today's game was part of my package, but I switched it out for another day. Picked the right day to miss! Rain, Wolff, Ransom....

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

There's no baseball reason to gripe about today. It's just spring training starting early. Keeping guys healthy, having a starter who will be gone take up innings. It just doesn't matter, but if I was RR I'd let the ticket office tell me which days to sit guys. They'll need as many of the casual fans as they can get to stay interested in 2013.

[brewmann04]

Wolf heading down in his time in a Brewer uniform thankfully.
