+1 The thought of watching Taylor Williams sent a shudder down my spine. I'm excited to see Devin Williams and Faria though. I wonder who will start in Davies' spot? I saw on Twitter that Supak is lined up for that day. Might as well call him up. What they’ve tried to stick with isn’t working.
Always amazed that some fans feel as though these pro athletes are above quitting. It happens more than you think. They mentally check out when seasons end up going the way that this one is heading.
Hasn't Yelich also played quite a bit of 1B? Although I don't think they want Braun playing anywhere but LF anymore and I think Grisham is pretty limited to either LF or CF. CC mentioned him playing there with Grisham getting the call.
Thanks, Brew4U! You da' man! Braun is doing much better as a starter! Start him more! On pace for 115 starts and 147 games played. But could fluctuate with Grisham coming up. But it’s safe to say that Braun isn’t the problem people are looking for.
Games Played: 103 - Starts: 80 Braun as LF: .290/.340/.508/.849 (78 games - 334PA) Braun as DH: .071/.071/.286/.357 (3 games - 15PA) Braun as PH: .190/.261/.238/.499 (23 games - 23PA)
I’m sure I’ll get either “he needs days off” or “we need LH hitters today” but Braun should’ve been in this lineup. Getting swept is just not good right now and you need your best hitters out there and he’s been that in Chicago and on this road trip. A team struggling to score sure makes a lot of questionable moves like leading off a guy that doesn’t deserve to yet.
