They're going to end on a high note, aren't they 

[Brock Beauchamp]

You all missed a great party yesterday!

[treego14]

We will rake against Jake!

Fastball or Curvin' -- it will be curtains for Irvin!

Freddy is an all-star!

We can rest the bullpen car!

The Brewers are better by far!

P.S. -- I miss the AMC Pacer bullpen car.

We are Yankees fans today too, 1 GB on Cubs

[liveforoctober]

Golly if we can win today and the Cubs lose and we go into the break all squared up... That would be a wonderful uncomfortable break for the Cubs to have to sit through. They will have a deal done for a starter before they throw their first second half pitch...

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

I remember losing 8 in a row before the break in 2018. Maybe this can be (very close to) the inverse of that.

And I believe 5 of those were against Pittsburgh.

Even if Vaughn doesn’t do much the rest of the year, that trade is an A+ move.  

[Bulldogboy]

Trash lineup today. Wow. However Contreras is in it. Who would have guessed. Vaughn However take a seat. Incredible. 

[wibadgers23]

Holy Sunday lineup. Wow.

[willie key]

Frelick has more homers than Contreras.    Maybe we should sit him and let him heal up for godsakes

Any reason the line-ups are not being added at the top of the game threads any longer?

[Jim French Stepstool]

Really happy to get the first two w/o Ashby. He's a great answer to the first 4-5 spots in the Nats' lineup & this isn't a great opponent to have to face with only one LHP in the 'pen if you get a short start like yesterday. He might not be needed, but maybe Quintana is available for an inning today.

I think there's way too much b****ing among fans when the so-called "Sunday lineup" is rolled out, but I'll admit it's a little strange with the ASB coming up.

Yeah having Ashby yesterday would have been nice. Could have gone to him in the 5th when you went to Koenig then you wouldn't have needed basically every reliever to have an up down.

[wallus]

My only lineup complaint is not having Vaughn in there for Bauers. (waiting for big day from Jake now)

Yeah - that is obvious however it was nice when I could come here and see it without having to go to the new re-vamped version of Brewers.com.

I'm not a fan of the new re-vamped version of Brewers.com either. 

[BruisedCrew]

That lineup is pretty gross. Slumping Turang batting fifth followed by four scrubs. 

[BruisedCrew]

On the other hand, Wood is sitting out today and now Abrams has been scratched. So, the Nats best two hitters are both on the bench.

Golden opportunity for Peralta to dominate. 

[mudbutt]

Don’t understand this lineup with the break coming, but whatever maybe the backups will bring the energy today.

[BruisedCrew]

I really can’t believe leaving Vaughn out of the lineup. His current hot streak isn’t likely to last long, but I would want to squeeze as much juice out of it as possible.

Fun with small sample splits

2025 Yelich as DH (345 PA)
257/330/450 (119 wRC+)

2025 Yelich as OF (34 PA)
269/412/577 (173 wRC+)

Not even close, ump.
