It's crazy. When Chourio returns... How do you sit Sal? But how do you sit Perkins? But how do you sit Collins?

I wouldn't fret it.  Sal's probably going to need his rests, with his leg.  Everyone will get their turn.

Poor Lockridge … when will he play

[torts]

They're doing what they've struggled in past seasons to do, clobber on the road

Plus, when Mitchell gets back.

Day off tomorrow, I'm getting someone up.

[HarryDoyle]

Another case of a pitcher sitting too long in the dugout.

[kevinisaname]

Phew! Quintana gets out of it without any additional damage. I'll take it.

[yfinn6]

Phew. 

[HarryDoyle]

Nice to keep the damage to one.

Another thing to put on the list along with what to do when Hoskins is ready to play.

That list is titled “Things to not think about until,they happen”.

Chourio’s return is at least a few weeks away and Frelick has to be watched with 2 things acting up. 

A lot can happen in the next few weeks that would prevent this from being an issue. And, if it does, wouldn’t it be nice to have enough depth to give guys a day off in September without a big drop in the lineup while having someone better than Siegler or Monasterio as a pinch hitter. 
 

As a switch hitter with speed Perkins is a valuable asset off the bench as he showed in the last home game against the Nats. Come in as a pinch runner, steal a base and score the tying run, and then drive in the winning run an inning later.

Hoskins can sit 5 or 6 days a week when he comes back.

I wouldn't bring him back before Rosters expand. 

[edfunderburk]

What a great hitting team

Who gets credit for our improved performance?

LeBouf?

Dawson?

other?

He doesn’t have a spot.   He doesn’t fit our style of play.    He better not take at bats from Vaughn

Willie key.    The reverse jinx is powerful 

[willie key]

Attanasio has put a heckuva an organization.    Credit to him or maybe lucky?     But the brewers are the envy of all the small markets for awhile now 

[kevinisaname]

Darn, was really hoping for a nice 6 for Quintana. Looks like 5 2/3rds will have to do.

[kevinisaname]

Never mind, he's facing the lefty, as he should. I forgot Harris was up. And he gets through 6. Six IP/3 ER I'll take from our #5 starter.

Huh?

[kevinisaname]

Tacking on some more runs would be nice.

[willie key]

Need to scratch a couple of runs across

I forgot Harris was up, so I assumed they were going to Mears.

[kevinisaname]

Geeeez, Collins again. On base all four times.

[wallus]

Just give Collins the ROY

[folly412]

All those fun but not really stats about the team not having a guy OPSing .800 out the window thanks to Collins.
