WHO KNOWS HOW THE BREWERS WILL LINE UP TONIGHT?

 

Depending on when a trade happens, maybe not even Craig Counsell yet!

At first I thought this was implying that Counsell himself might be traded, which reminded me that I think Sal Bando once tried to trade Phil Garner to the Orioles. Does anyone else remember that or am I making it up?

[Jimbo]

After noticing more than a few people sporting red kits this morning, I had to ask. Turns out ManU is playing Barcelona tonight at RFK. [sarcasm]Almost makes this evening's ballgame irrelevant.[/sarcasm]

[tmwiese55]

So I know we all like to nitpick lineups for us. I was thinking this last night and it happened again today for the Nats, and how they put poor hitters at 1 and 2 while having four of the top 10 hitters in baseball batting lower. Classic Dusty old school thinking that you have to put a fast guy there.

Random comment, I just went over to baseball-reference and injured my eyes when I saw Yuni's picture on the front page

 

[OnaBadger58]

Yuni B and Junior Spivey. Brewer legends

[PrestigeWorldwide]

Don't forget Rick Dempsey!

 

(How I instantly recognized his picture, and remembered that he played one season with the Brewers over 20 years ago, is either impressive or frightening)

[TJseven7]

Was hoping that braun creep up to the two spot was the start of transitioning him like mauer was with the twins... oh well.

[yfinn6]

Santana doesn't pull many HRs, but he smoked that thing. That was a bomb.

[rcc]

Good start to the game with the Santana homer.

[rcc]

A double for Shaw against the lefty.

[rcc]

2-0 in the first inning. The Crew likes playing in D.C.

You're in the bigs now Lewis, you dont just get a fastball down the middle on 3-1

[MoreTrife]

C'mon Lewis. There were 4 balls after you were 3-0.

[FVBrewerFan]

Gio just toying with Brinson there. You had ball 4 there twice sweet lou

That 3-2 change was pretty nasty. I bet he doesn't see that everyday in AAA.

[FVBrewerFan]

Is Gruber wearing lipstick in that commercial? Starting to wonder what exactly that "one call" is for.

[markedman5]

Jimmy sure is getting a lot of swings and misses......love to see him step up and challenge these guys with his good stuff

[topper09er]

Seems like Lind can only catch a ball within 5 feet of where he starts and Shaw hits it right to him

[OnaBadger58]

Generous call

[OnaBadger58]

he's learning already!
