Odd changes in Matheny's lineup

 

 

 

1. Matt Carpenter

2. Allen Craig *

3. Matt Holliday

4. Matt Adams

5. Yadier Molina

6. Jhonny Peralta

7. Mark Ellis *

8. Peter Bourjos

9. Shelby Miller

 

*The struggling Craig raised up 4 spots in the order instead of DOWN. Ellis replacing Wong, who has been doing fine in the 2 hole. I don't even know this Ellis, and have never seen him play.

Well maybe I have, but apparently he made no impression on me. Who was he with before?

You've really never heard of Mark Ellis? Isn't he one of the better defensive 2B in the league - most consistent anyway. Played for several years with the Athletics and most recently with the Dodgers.

Oh I'm sure I've heard his name or saw him on highlights. But I can't name even one A's player, and only about five Dodgers not named Puig. Odd how your mind "works" as you age. I can name every Brewer in the lineup from '82, but I can't remember yesterday's right now!

[Dead Simmons]

Ulg! Davidson is umping 3B. Does not bode well for Carpenter.

[yfinn6]

"Nice of the fans down the left field line to get out of Davis' way to make that catch." Yep, the empty seats did a terrific job of giving Davis some breathing room.

I noticed that. Nice to have savvy fans.

Craig is a better hitter than Peralta/Ellis/Bourjos so he goes 2nd. Besides it the Cardinals vs. Brewers where a struggling .140 BA Cardinal bats .500 vs. Milwaukee that season. Freese anyone? or Rasmus? Jon Jay last night who has 26 career HRs and now 7 of them vs Milw. Craig probably goes 4-5 tonight(my opponent in Fantasy has Craig) with 2HRs 6RBI. And Molina too another Card vs. my team in fantasy he'll have a huge game doubling my hate of Cardinal players.

 

On the other spectrum, I own Miller so he'll go 4ip and give up 8Runs...Did I mention I have Estrada too? Lol so yeah I'm doomed. High scoring game tonight 13-8 Cards.

[TURBO]

I own Miller on one team too. I bit the bullet last night and started Lynn, that paid off, but at the expense of my Brewers...lol

 

I started Miller tonight, and expect to get a -10 points....Brewers over fantasy though, so I'll take it!!!

[trwi7]

Stop swinging at all this crap.

[ELCABALLO45]

Braun has 5 extra base hits all year, 3 of them in one day. He is struggling.

LOL...I know how you feel Brewcru.....that was pretty good off balance flip the Ellis guy made to complete the DP...but can he hit??

[Dead Simmons]

Very nice sized crowd. I like to see that.

[PrinceFielderx1]

Molina hit by pitch? Good. He deserved it.

[PrinceFielderx1]

Horrible stupid pitching. You have a batter on a 1-2 count and you throw him a strike??????????????????????? Pitching 101 NEVER DO THAT!

[PrinceFielderx1]

The Cards would NEVER do that.

[coolcool]

Nasty strikeout, but blah score some runs for once.

[brewcrewdue80]

Could have been worse, could have seen Ellis hit a 3run HR like Jay for his 1st hit of the season. Would have been perfect after Simmons' not ever having heard of him lol

[ELCABALLO45]

Ok, Lucroy probably should not be stealing on Molina.

[trwi7]

We're having our starting catcher try to run on Molina. Go away RRR.
