Brewers (Rea) vs Cubs (Taillon): 7/23/24, 7:05pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

Tough loss last night. Get 'em tonight.

[treego14]

Taillon will be sighin' and cryin' as Brewers batted balls will be deep-flyin'!

Hip-Hip-Hoo-Rea!  The Cubs are going to lose today!  They are our prey!

[Brian]

I submit that Brewers should try Joey Ortiez at lead off and see what happens for a few games. 

[sveumrules]

Using the somewhat arbitrary start point of June 2nd (aka when Chourio got hot) the best lineup the Brewers could run out probably looks something like this...

CF Perkins (99 PA) 99 wRC+
LF Chourio (137 PA) 137 wRC+
DH Yelich (173 PA) 143 wRC+
SS Adames (179 PA) 111 wRC+
1B Bauers (70 PA) 123 wRC+
Ca Haase (22 PA) 265 wRC+
RF Mitchell (44 PA) 122 wRC+
3B Ortiz (111 PA) 89 wRC+
2B Turang (182 PA) 77 wRC+

BENCH

Frelick (137 PA) 96 wRC+
Contreras (170 PA) 76 wRC+
Hoskins (143 PA) 75 wRC+
Monasterio (57 PA) 70 wRC+

People are not going to be happy about this lineup tonight.

Swap out Hoskins for Bauers and it's the exact same lineup as last night.

This should be interesting

Do you misspell names just to be annoying?   It is Ortiz, Ortiz, Ortiz.  It is disrespectful to butcher the spelling of people's proper names.

I think they gotta option a young outfielder. But I dont like that.

Might be some delays tonight with showers and storms in the area.

With all of the slumping players a lot of posters want to see some changes, like Turang down and Chourio up. 
 

I’m never happy to see Frelick 5th  

 

[Brewce]

Any word on when this game with start???

 

[HarryDoyle]

If there was only some way the rest of the NL Central could avoid rain delays...

Why not? It’s essentially the same lineup for the past 4 weeks. I believe he has the lineup already prepared for the next 4 weeks. He’s just lazy, and really never pays attention.

I think every poster on this board agrees with your statement. Frelick is the antithesis of a number 5 batter.

He's got a pretty good on base percentage. I'd rather see him lead off.

Perhaps they should load everybody on a bus and head to amfam.

[yfinn6]

Have there been any updates about a start time?

Well that's certainly a take.

I'm 2 miles away, and the answer is not anytime soon.  Lightning.

[yfinn6]

Wonder if they'll just do a doubleheader tomorrow.

That’s just one more stupid part of playing the last games against a division rival in July.  Having to possibly play a doubleheader since you don’t travel there anymore.

[HarryDoyle]

Both teams have a day off Thursday. Weather permitting, they could play then.
