Brewers (Rea) vs Orioles (Burnes): 4/14/24, 12:35pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

How I imagine the Brewers clubhouse feels these days:

[treego14]

How many hits will be Corbin absorbin'?

Sunday is Rea's Day all the way ... wouldn't hurt to pray anyway!

[Brian]

Brewers are 1 /1/2 run underdogs today in Vegas. 

I hope Collen 'The Conductor' Rea shuts them down today. 

[Brian]

Yes, pray for Ray, for a solid 7 innings. 

[treego14]

How about this Brewers offense and their team rankings amongst all MLB teams so far?!

[sveumrules]

Yeah, very likely to go down after facing Burnes today, but at the moment Brewers position players sit atop the FanGraphs WAR leaderboard.

Interesting lineup today

[ClosetBrewerFan]

Two lefties and switch hitter against Burnes.  Interesting approach.  Burnes had reverse splits last year but not that big of a difference. 

It would be nice to see Turang get a shot in leadoff at some point.

[Bulldogboy]

Wiemer is actually playing? I figured defensive replacement not actually playing. Jeez. Where is Bauers? Finally shows some pop and he has to sit? I don't know 😕

No Chourio or Yelich?

 

[Outlander]

Makes sense to give Chourio a day off, has been scuffling a bit. Will be back Monday.

Odd lineup with no Dunn or Bauers 

Why not start the two lefties? 

Chourio was due a day OFF

Yeli will be missed for sure

I kinda agree. But this is a great day to DH Contreras, so it comes down to Bauers or Hoskins.

Note that Yelich is injured.

[BruisedCrew]

Kind of a sacrificial lamb Sunday lineup today to face Burnes. 

Chourio does look like he needs a day off and with Yelich out and not wanting to have Contreras catch again there might not be many options. 

I hope Hoskins can help more with the bat than he gives up in the field.

Frelick was born to hit in the leadoff spot. Not sure why Murph is hesitant after starting Frelick in the leadoff spot to start the season especially now that he's caught fire a bit.

[BruisedCrew]

Having Contreras and Hoskins 1 and 2 is kind of odd to me instead of having someone with more speed (Frelick or Perkins or Turang or Ortiz) at the top with the others in position to advance them or drive them in. 
 

If Burnes is on he could really pile up the Ks with Hoskins, Sanchez, and Wiemer to feast on for starters. 

[sveumrules]

I like Contreras leading off.

[RedStickBrew]

I guess that’s why Contreras is batting leadoff

[Dragonbait]

Welp... what happened.
