[pacopete4]

Will the Brewers hit BP before the game?

[yfinn6]

I have a strong dislike for John Lackey, so scoring more than 1 run would be most excellent.

[rcc]

Not a Lackey fan either. I hope they hit a few homers off him.

[Lathund]

Hoping for a multi-HR game from Thames. And a lot of head-scratching in post-game interviews.

[Pugger]

I hope we continue to give Davies run support! It would be nice to score more than 2 for a change...

[BrewCrewForever]

Please Zach, be awesome like you were last time out vs Nats. Offense, get those bats going, please.

[stalton]

My brief search came up with an Over/Under of 9.5 runs. I'm predicting a 7 to 5 game one way or another for the over.

[yfinn6]

Why does Villar need to bat leadoff? I don't really care who they play at 2B since it's been so bad for a while, but why give the guy struggling the most plate appearances?

He's the lead off guy because he sucked, then got moved down in the lineup, then got hurt came back and still sucks. So of course he has to go back to the top.

 

I'm honestly a little surprised he didn't start Kirk

Because Counsell subscribes to the Ron Roenicke school of thought...

[young guns]

First to 2 wins? But hey, at least arcia is on his way up the lineup, though hes cooled off some.

[adambr2]

Read we are 0 for our last 29 with RISP. Franchise record is 0 for 30.

[Austin Tatious]

Alternate lineup with same guys

 

Villar 2b

Braun Lf

Shaw 3b

Santana rf

Thames 1b

Bandy c

Brinnie cf

Arcia ss

[rcc]

Davies starting strong. Now the hitters need to hit.

[owbc]

0 for 30!

[owbc]

There's the club record! 0 for 31!

[rcc]

Lackey got out of it. Darn!

[TJseven7]

Lackey got out of it. Darn!

 

Bandy swinging at a 1st pitch ball sure helped

[yfinn6]

Villar is not even close.

[adambr2]

There's the club record! 0 for 31!

 

We might utterly destroy the record before we are done.

[MoreTrife]

Can't be anyone left defending Villar. Waste of roster spot.

[Devinep]

Villar is not even close.

 

I hoped Davies would get a hit not just for the runs but to clear Villar for the next inning

[Brewcrewin07]

Villar is not even close.

 

Time to acquire Kinsler
