I strongly dislike Thames leading off; give Arcia a shot at it.

Why? Thames is better in every category offensively. What does Arcia have other than speed?

[Lee16]

I would think about Santana leading off. Hits for average, has some speed, etc. Nobody else seems able to do it, give the guy a shot.

Giving one of our worst hitters the most plate appearances seems like the opposite of what you would want.

Check his OBP

[3and2Fastball]

Is Brinson still on the MLB roster?

[rcc]

Brinson was sent down.

Who? Arcia? He has the second worst OBP of players in the lineup today.

[markedman5]

No he meant check out Thames obp as the reason he is leading off and Arcia isn't.

[yfinn6]

Real-time that looked ugly for Shaw.

[rcc]

Oh no! Travis hit in the head.

[PinaMadness]

Ouch! Hope he'll be all right.

[rcc]

Now they're saying neck area.

[topper09er]

Looks like a jaw/ear shot maybe. Pretty nasty

[rcc]

At least he is walking off the field.

 

I hope he's okay.

[jason21nl]

That was terrible

[PinaMadness]

Neck shot.

[markedman5]

Just what we need.....Shaw with a possible concussion....

 

Hope he's ok but didn't look good walking off

[pacopete4]

Season on the line with that injury. Lovely. Hope he's okay

[trwi7]

Hit his neck. Doubt it's anything more than a precaution.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Should Shaw have to go to the DL, my guess would be Phillips comes up? Lefty bat and Perez becomes the third baseman for a couple of weeks?

 

Really hope it doesn't come to that. Shaw's probably the one offensive guy who's irreplaceable.

[OnaBadger58]

Love seeing Arcia take it to right field. Add on Crew

[PinaMadness]

So much for adding on.

[MrTPlush]

Haha good job Brewers. Just beautiful.
