Villar obviously still hurting.

 

From AM

 

Yep, Villar is out with left calf stiffness. Said he was hitting in the cage and taking part in defensive work today, but the athletic trainers want him to take one more day out of the lineup.

[liveforoctober]

Let's hope for a similar result from a few days back against this dude.

Righty starting and no Thames? Interesting.

Righty starting and no Thames? Interesting.

 

Hadn't noticed that. I would have thought if Villar wasn't starting against a RHP it would be Sogard at 2B not Perez. Maybe the Brewers stats say to stack righties against Arrieta.

And the pitcher batting 8th. Did they do this last weekend?

Just because Arcia hits like a pitcher doesn't mean the brewers have a pitcher batting 8th!

[dlk9s]

Our pitcher should bat 8th.

[adambr2]

I feel like Counsell had a few cocktails at lunch and forgot that Arrieta is a RHP. Because this is exactly the lineup I would expect to see if he was a LHP.

[xisxisxis]

Suter should be batting 7th...

[PinaMadness]

The one time CC goes against the book and he benches Thames for Aguilar.

[wildcat83]

Righty starting and no Thames? Interesting.

 

A tough righty... seems odd to me too. Maybe he has some reverse splits?

 

Hitting Arrietta and Nola, going to be a tough series. If we get 2/3 in this series that would be impressive.

[wildcat83]

Yellich and Shaw have the worst numbers of Brewers starters against Arrieta. Maybe part of the reason the righties are starting.

[PinaMadness]

I thought you can't assume the double play.

[Roderick]

I thought you can't assume the double play.

 

Assume you are talking about an error being recorded. That would be for the advancing to second base on the throw.

[wildcat83]

At least made him throw over 20 pitches to get through the first.

[wildcat83]

Two quick innings for Suter, nice start so far. Get a couple early runs here to keep the pressure on.

[Montezuma]

Why is Arcia not bunting... nobody out, runners at first and second, and he is in a slump???

[MrTPlush]

Who throws Orlando Arcia an 0-2 strike?

[rickh150]

Two quick innings for Suter, nice start so far. Get a couple early runs here to keep the pressure on.

 

His cutter is really moving,jamming many righties...... handcuffed Pina once too.

[Eye Black]

Suter swinging for the fences!

[PinaMadness]

Arcia hits a hot smash up the middle so hard that the ball gets to Cabrera too fast and prevents a run scoring. WTG.

[wildcat83]

Three straight hits, the last from Arcia... Arrieta must be hurt...

[Eye Black]

I wouldn’t hate a complete Arrieta meltdown here.
