Brewers (Rea) vs Mets (Megill): 3/31/24, 12:40pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

Trevor's brother is starting for the Mets while the Brewers can sweep on the road!

[jay87shot]

I am interested to see if Dunn gets another start or if Ortiz is going to play 3B. Maybe Sal plays 3B and Perkins gets a start.

[Frisbee Slider]

Assumptions:

Contreras at DH

Hoskins at 1B

Frelick in CF

Turang at 2B (3 hits in 7 AB)

Ortiz at 3B (Can Dunn get every start against RHP?)

Yelich, Adames and Chourio should be a given. Cant imagine any of them need two days off.

That’d be something.
 

Hard to imagine Ortiz, Dunn, Turang and Monasterio all getting steady AB. I assume two will eventually excel above the others.

Have we already seen the best of Rea, or will he be better this year?

I think better. 

He added a splitter he can throw to combat LHH’s and he’s had more time to work with the team’s PDS.

The team getting a team option next year on Rea tells me they think there’s a decent chance they can get a couple of nice seasons out of him as well.

I predict a Brewer will hit a 3-run homer in the 9th to tie it and another will hit a 2-run homer that same inning to win it.

[Frisbee Slider]

Three days catching in a row for Contreras. I assume with off day tomorrow he will also catch home opener.

[Bulldogboy]

Dunn hitting 5 and dh is interesting. I thought he was sent out of camp now he's a big piece of offense. Strange but whatever. Let's win today.

2 days off this week. Makes sense.

Next 10 comments are people flaming them for batting Dunn 5th at DH ->

I wonder if that's ever been done before? And on Easter to boot?

Dunn bats left handed. The starting pitcher is right handed.

The Brewers have two hitters in their lineup who primarily played at AA last year.  When was the last time that happened?

[HarryDoyle]

Glad we don't have a Sunday punt lineup. CC would have one.

I don't think there's much improvement left in Rea and that's okay. He pitched to a 95 ERA+ last season, which is right about smack-dab in the middle of starting pitchers. For the amount the Brewers are paying Rea, that's a hell of a deal.

[jay87shot]

I get Muph likes to go left right left right and Dunn played well enough to DH. At 6 Rhys is a bit low but with a high obp usually that isn't a bad spot.

Thanks, still makes me teary eyed. I feel like I may have asked this in a previous year but was that game televised in Wisconsin? I am pretty sure I watched the Rangers broadcast as we had one of those big satellite dishes and back then it was mostly just road games that were televised. The Rangers announcers weren't nearly as animated as Bob when Deer hit his homer. They could feel it coming just like everyone else and it was such a no doubter off the bat.🙂

I am guessing no. I was listening on the radio in our backyard.

[Bulldogboy]

Deer was as fun a player to watch as any during his run. The guy was homer or k at a level not seen too much since.

I feel like the manager should be suspended as well.  This does not happen if the manager does not approve of it.
