Will we see an OF of Braun, Perez, and Thames tonight?

[TURBO]

We have too many outfielders, We have too many outfielders, We have too many outfielders, and that is what we might be down to? lol

 

I guess you can never have too many outfielders on your team after all.

[wildcat83]

If we can manage to leave town 8-8 and have the schedule lighten up a little I think we're in good shape. Been a tough stretch of Cards twice, Cubs and Mets. Today seems important with Chacin vs Syndegard tomorrow. Really could use a quality start from Chase.

[adambr2]

Santana and Cain both in the lineup.

This almost made me throw up.

[Eye Black]

Aside from the pitcher spot the Mets have the same exact lineup they had last night which made me think, have the Brewers gone two days in a row this season with the same lineup? I am pretty certain the answer is no, but not 100% sure.

I was going to say opening day and game 2 were, but Perez was in for Villar.

Current Brewers hitter haven’t had much previous experience against Harvey. Yelich (who is obviously still on the DL) has nearly half the at-bats versus the Dark Knight. The batters in tonght’s lineup are a combined 5-for-20 with a double, HR, 7 BB, and 6 SO against Harvey.

 

[young guns]

First 2 games of the cards series in milwaukee.

Winner... winner, you are correct. I must have blocked that out.

Sogard and Arcia, both 1 for 1 with a HR. That's funny to me.

[Ulice Payne]

Tonight is the game to win. I like Anderson vs Harvey a whole lot better than Chacin vs Syndergaard.

[Eye Black]

I have a good feeling about the offense tonight... I hope I’m right.

[stoutdude04]

Strong D to start for the Mets. Bummer.

[adambr2]

Thought that shot by Shaw was gone for sure and good AB by Domingo. Gotta capitalize here.

[pacopete4]

Villar!

 

That’s a big hit for us. Get off to a good start.

[Eye Black]

Wow, I thought Shaw’s hit was going to be a no doubter home run and thought Villar’s home run was going to be well foul. Strange start, but I’ll take it!

[yfinn6]

Way to go Villar! I had no inkling that was even gonna be a double, crazy.

 

Why does Sogard hit 6th?!

[adambr2]

Wow, I thought Shaw’s hit was going to be a no doubter home run and thought Villar’s home run was going to be well foul. Strange start, but I’ll take it!

 

Same here. I had no thoughts but "gone" on Shaw's and no thoughts but 'routine foul' on Villar's. Great start!

[FVBrewerFan]

Chase, time to prove you're a TOR ish pitcher. 3-0 lead, win this game.

[stoutdude04]

Tough start for home plate ump.

[Eye Black]

In other news, rough outing for Chris Archer versus the Phillies tonight... 4.0 IP, 8 H, 7 ER, 2 BB, 2 SO

Jonathan Villar’s positive start had me wondering how Neil Walker has done so far: .188 AVG .209 SLG% .472 OPS

Hopefully Villar is able to keep up the positive play. As frustrating as he was two years ago, it was still more exciting than what we were dealing with.
