For those unfamiliar with Marlins starting pitcher Trevor Richards here is a must read article about his time spent working at MillerCoors Brewery in Milwaukee last year:

 

In one year, this Marlins pitcher went from working at MillerCoors to pitching at Miller Park.

 

Richards has made an improbable rise from Indy ball to MLB.

I'm going to guess Domingo gets the day off today.

Hoping we'll see Nottingham once or twice more before he's likely demoted on Monday. Seems to have a decent approach at the plate (despite no hits yet), and the defense has been better than advertised.

[pacopete4]

I think they should go:

 

Yelich- RF

Cain- CF

Thames- 1B

Braun- LF

Shaw- 3B

Villar- 2B

Arcia- SS

Nottingham- C

Nailed it! And given Counsell's lineup roulette routine, that's saying something.

[adambr2]

I'm guessing Bandy starts today, Nottingham for Guerra on Sunday. But I hope it's Nottingham.

[young guns]

So, 2 or 3 homers for brinson today?

Thank you, thank you.

 

For anyone that is curious, the Brewers win this one 6-4. I have inside sources..

I think they should go:

 

Yelich- RF

Cain- CF

Thames- 1B

Braun- LF

Shaw- 3B

Villar- 2B

Arcia- SS

Nottingham- C

 

I knew they wouldn’t, but I thought the exact same thing to stagger the Lineup

Yeah I hate that they can pop in a lefty at Shaw and Thames with no on in between to make them pay.

[adambr2]

For whatever reason Counsell's rule is that Braun must bat 3rd whenever he starts, and Shaw must bat 4th.

It’s not really a Counsell thing. It’s pretty much how they all operate. [sarcasm]If they would’ve just traded for Realmuto, he could bat 5th and Thames 6th and problem solved.[/sarcasm]

Do the Marlins have a lefty in the pen? Thought they said last night they don’t.

[pacopete4]

I’m not sure. So I guess it wouldn’t matter then. Good catch.

[pacopete4]

Awesome at bats to start this game. Even Braun’s strikeout at bat was quality. Keep grinding this guy out of the game.

[adambr2]

Thames really seeing it well right now. Nice.

[stoutdude04]

A lot of noise for 1 run.

[Eye Black]

Well that is a disappointing ending to a promising inning.

[adambr2]

Pretty disappointing to only get a run out of that inning. Every opportunity was there to put up a big number which might be needed tonight with Chacin on the mound.

[adambr2]

Awesome at bats to start this game. Even Braun’s strikeout at bat was quality. Keep grinding this guy out of the game.

 

I would have liked it better if he hadn't finished it by swinging at ball 4 twice.

[adambr2]

Hey, we got Brinson.

[adambr2]

Freddy Peralta really grinding tonight, definitely his toughest outing of the season, yet he's struck out 5 in 3 innings and only allowed 1 run.

[homer]

Richards already up to 60 pitches

[adambr2]

We should have 3 or 4 runs right now.

 

I hope these missed opportunities don't come back to bite us.

[young guns]

Took some time but it's nice to finally break through!
