Hiura back in the 2 hole.

Why?

[Greenleaf1]

If you're trying to get Hiura going, batting in front of Yelich makes sense.

 

Glad to see Cain back in there.

[stoutdude04]

Hiura back in the 2 hole.

Why?

 

I would have given him off today too. Hendricks is going to make him look silly.

[Eye Black]

Joc Pederson batting 5th for the Cubs, in his three previous at bats versus Woodruff he’s 3-3, with 2 home runs.

[wildcat83]

Who will get more production out of the 2 hole today?

[DR28]

Twitter has a different lineup... Robertson at 2B, instead of Wong.

[Zad Fnark]

lol...

 

Hader is 1-1 batting against Hendricks.

Yes, it appears the Brewers lineup has changed since it was first released.

 

That’s disappointing because among Brewers hitters Wong has arguably the best career track record against Kyle Hendricks.

From Adam McCalvy:

 

Kolten Wong has some oblique tightness but "nothing to worry about," Craig Counsell said.

Better start a Kolten Wong injury thread...

I'm calling 2 for 4 with a HR today for Hiura.

[Hopper]

So many oblique issues around MLB this year.

You'd think that fine tuned athletes would take better care of their core.

[igor67]

It's not really a problem you can tackle head on though.

This is going to look real silly when he has 3 hits in the first 5 innings...

[KeithStone53151]

Unrelated to the Brewers lineup, does anyone know why a team might be allowed to not have a lineup posted 3 hours prior to game time? This irks me for my fantasy team, sitting here waiting on a Dodgers lineup for a game starting at 240...does a team get fined for not posting it in time or whats the deal here?

Hiura seems to struggle more with high heat than with breaking balls ... so who knows? Maybe Hiura has a good day.

[Hopper]

Maybe Hiura has a good day.

 

Hopefully he doesn't have to use his AK.

[treego14]

What is that? You lost me there.

This changed about 2-years ago but I can't find what exactly changed for timing wise just that managers have to submit their lineups to MLB first and then it is distributed to everyone else.

 

Couldn't find anything about timing but that is what was supposed to be addressed.

For a team built to platoon... only two lefties in the lineup today.

 

I feel like Vogelbach and JBJ should be playing today. Or is Hiura not playing 2nd at all anymore?

Hendricks is a changeup specialist ... especially tough on lefties, normally.

[wildcat83]

I have Woodruff and Hendricks on my fantasy team, and I bet on the under (9). So if this is a high scoring affair in which neither starter factors into the decision, then I take the blame.

If Hiura is playing 2B this year, I think it would be some sort of emergency situation.

Another K for Keston....... My god.
