Guessing:

 

Cain

Yelich

Aguilar

Shaw

Santana

Choi

Villar

Pina

Arcia

 

With Choi as the DH.

[pacopete4]

Aguilar should be moved down. Especially against RHP

[KeithStone53151]

Aguilar should be moved down. Especially against RHP

 

Aguilar is slashing 299/351/448 against RHP on the season, he'll do just fine hitting 3rd...I agree with the first 6 of the lineup above. I suspect the last 3 go Pina, Arcia, Villar...Villar as a 9 hole table setter for the top of the order.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I wish the Suter SP era would end.

[pacopete4]

I wish the Suter SP era would end.

 

Hopefully, it will when Anderson/Davies come back.

 

 

Anderson

Davies

Chacin

Woodruff

Peralta

 

Looks perfectly fine to me. But it is wishful thinking I'm sure.

Hopefully we can keep Suter around to PH...

Guerra?

 

Also, yea I don't want Suter starting either but he's a better #7/8 type starting pitcher than what we had the last how many years.

[Chicago Here]

I wish the Suter SP era would end.

he has filled a role nicely. Sorta surprising.

[pacopete4]

Can't believe I forgot Guerra. He's one of my favs too. TGIF.

 

 

Suter is perfectly fine on this team if he's out of the pen in a long man situation. He does a great job filling in for injuries. I just don't want him taking a spot from another starting pitcher that has more upside or is just better.

[adambr2]

Yeah Anderson Chacin Guerra Davies is fine for now. If Woodruff can build on his last start and improve I have no issue giving him the #5, but I hope they don't hold Peralta back just because of his age if they think he's one of our 5 best. Suter just doesn't really belong in the discussion with everyone healthy since there's just not an upside there, but like you said he's fine as the long man.

 

There is no real #1 on this team but they have so much depth for #2-#4., good problem to have and lots of internal competition to stay in the rotation as they await Nelson's return.

[yfinn6]

Whenever there is a game with an off-day the day before, it feels as though it's been *weeks* since I've been able to catch a Brewer game. Crazy.

[wildcat83]

Not much past success off of Gibson, but not a lot of sample size either. Hopefully we can get to him tonight, with Suter you expect to have to get about 5 or so to have a chance.

[Roderick]

Woodruff

Peralta

OPS 1.021 Should be DH against Minny the other games, right?

[long ball]

I feel you, but with the aggressive nature of their bullpen use as well as guys like Davies, Anderson, and Braun on the DL it is nice to have a day off as often as possible.

Agreed. And we still have one more game played than Pittsburgh, 3 more than Cardinals, and 4 more than Cubs.

Knock on wood but have we even had a single rain delay this year much less a postponement? I can't think of a single one.

[bork]

Too bad Babe Suter doesn't get to bat in potentially his last start.

[stalton]

Can't they DH for any position? It's just common practice to DH for the pitcher. If I am recalling correctly we could have Suter hit and DH for somebody like Arcia.

They could but that would be stupid. Even if Suter was a better hitter then Arcia(which he isn't) then the pitcher would have to hit or be pinch hit for after Suter was out of the game.

[3and2Fastball]

Please forgive me for being lazy and not looking it up myself: when is Peralta's next probable start?

Common misconception but you actually cannot. Baseball rules only allow for the pitcher to be replaced in the lineup by a DH.

[rcc]

Let's see if Choi makes the most of the call-up. Braun and his aches and pains on the DL finally. Good game from Suter will be much appreciated too.

[MoreTrife]

Two balls called strikes. Strike 3 obvious ball. Better be for both sides.

[pacopete4]

Baseball is a funny game. Thatta boy Choi! Happy birthday.
