Given the way Counsell has hit latey I have no problem with him getting another start and batting leadoff giving Rickie a day off. Also Hart batting 5th is nice to see.

Yost gets (and often deserves) a lot of crap around here (from me, too), but he should get some credit for putting that lineup out there. That's twice in this young season that Nedly has made the kind of change in the everyday lineup that I think he's usually too stubborn for. (Other one was Braun <---> Fielder). Could this be due in part to Simba?

 

In other news, Wow. Braun's OBP is now lower than his average after that sac fly yesterday. The kid's gotta stop swinging at everything.

Sheets' ERA is going to go up some today, and he's due to give up a few home runs. The Reds have a nice lineup. I'll go 6 IP, 8 H, 4 R, 3 ER, 0 BB, 8 K, 2 HR. I hope he doesn't go too far over 100 pitches today... he's been averaging more pitches per game than I would like to see.

 

The Brewers' lineup is about as due as it gets. I'll pick the Brewers 7-6.

I might be a little slow on the pick up here, but is your screen name if reference to Melivn's habit of saying "and that" after just about every sentence? I noticed it the other day when he was talking about signing Weaver and I couldn't believe how many times he said it.

I don't like knowing that the top two hitters in the lineup probably have an expected .320 OBP between the two of them tonight. That is not a good way to get your offense going. Owell, I'll just pretend that Braun is really the 4th leadoff guy!

Here's hoping that Gross can pull a McClung tonight... meaning, have a bust out game now that a large percentage have him written off as the odd man out when a regular is ready to return to the line-up!

Safe to assume that Kapler is still unavailable?

I don't think so. Gross' career numbers against Arroyo are really good. I say he gets this game to stink it up one more time, and if he does, we get Kapler tomorrow.
