Normally I'd root for a lengthy rain delay after a few innings, so we could banish Snell and go to Villanueva vs. whoever the Pirates long man is. But given the status of Villy and Gallardo, we're gonna need Vargas to eat some innings.

 

Hey Gabe, here's your monthly start - don't show any rust.

You know I gotta think this Gross start is more a Bill Hall thing. Billy has looked like an absolute confused turd in CF at PNC. He's had two really bad defensive games in a row...its like early April type of mistakes. Misjudging balls off the bat...taking bad routes etc. So i don't mind giving Billy a day to re-collect himself.

 

Plus, maybe Ned is hoping Gross treats Snell like he did Freddy Garcia. I remeber that game back in Philly in May when Garcia dominated every Brewer but Gross. Gabe went yard twice in that game. Here's to hoping!

 

Also why I am relived that we don't face Matt Chico this weekend in RFK? Thats odd.

 

Personally, I don't think that's it at all. Did you see the 9th inning of the first game of the series? Hall made 2 catches that were probably among the best he's made all season, especially the 2nd. Yeah, he made a bonehead play yesterday, but I don't think he looks lost at PNC, nor do I think he's out of the lineup because of it. I think he's just getting a day off, nothing more. He's been swinging a pretty good bat besides yesterday, but I think Ned just wanted to get him a day off. Makes more sense to do it today than tommorow against a lefty.

 

And yeah, I'm relieved that we don't face Chico. Seriously. He had a pretty good game against the first time this year.

The ideal game tonight would be a 5 inning complete game shutout for Vargas. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Counsell's starting at SS again because JJ still has the flu, apparently. I wouldn't be surprised if Gabe's starting in CF because Hall's neck is still stiff. On the radio yesterday Ueck mentioned that Hall was nursing a stiff neck after getting jarred a bit on that second diving catch. Hopefully it's not too serious.

 

Edit: 3-run bomb for The Hurricane, alright!

A good luck haiku for Vargas:

At least Craig made that a 6 pitch inning instead of a 4 pitch inning. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

Vargas sucks. Move him to the pen already and let Villanueva into the rotation. We need to get Villy more innings than he's getting right now anyway.

 

The only reason Vargas still has a spot in the rotation is because the offense scores a ton of runs for him. That's not a good reason to keep a guy in the rotation, and it's going to catch up with him sooner or later in the W-L column.
