Shaw not in lineup......sore wrist

 

[FVBrewerFan]

Arcia IS in the line-up, let the fun begin.

[BrewCrewForever]

Perez at 3B for Shaw batting 5th. This is one of those days I would have liked to see them just go ahead and put Aguilar at 3B like they did vs Colorado. Starting him there every once and awhile would not be the worst thing when you have to give Shaw a day.

Putting good defense out there with Chacin on the mound.

Fair point, I'll give you that.

[brewerswinNLcentral]

yeah i would like see aguilar as the back-up 3rd basemen but counsell

cant go wrong right now...

perez and thames are both seeing the ball well.

it doesnt hurt to give aguilar an off day

but i wouldnt bench him more than twice a week

[long ball]

None of the Brewers SP are really ground ball dominant, but Chacin has a higher GB% that most of them. If they need/want to start Aquilar at 3b I'd rather it be during a Suter or Anderson start.

[PinaMadness]

If you're gonna hack 3-1 you better make damn sure you get on base. Cain just bailed out Williams there.

I'm confused. It was a strike. Are you saying he should have taken it?

Yes

 

Care to explain why?

[PinaMadness]

Willimas is a struggling pitcher. Make him throw two strikes.

[AKCheesehead]

Did that actually hit Thames?

[PinaMadness]

That didn't look like that hit Thames on replay but you could definitely hear it hit his arm guard.

[PinaMadness]

Why do those kind of hits always happen against us while we get none?

[pacopete4]

This game is a snooze-fest.

[Warning Track Power]

Braun just keeps hitting rockets right at people. That has to be frustrating for a guy hitting in the .230s.

[stoutdude04]

Huge strike zone tonight. Figured he would call the inside pitch to Kratz and strike...nope, a far worse pitch gets it.

[BruisedCrew]

The Brewers offense is the perfect elixir for a struggling pitcher.

[PinaMadness]

I thought Williams was a struggling pitcher.

[MrTPlush]

Villar with the gold cleat defense.

[PinaMadness]

I have to admit, that bit was pretty funny. Easy to make fun of baseball's instant replay system.

[Montezuma]

Mock umpires were sweet... Quite entertaining.
