[sgtcluels]

Wow that's a pretty JV lineup.

[fondybrewfan]

My opinion of Lo Cain is skyrocketing right now. That kid seems like the CF of the future no doubt about it.

 

McGehee is trying his best to make this roster thats for sure.

[brewmann04]

I wonder why Brad Nelson has not seen the field the past 2 games especially in the Outfield.

[Mass Haas]

The play-by-play is appreciated, but I will point out that MLB has improved its gameday for spring training (linked above in the initial post). You don't get the pitch-by-pitch view you get in the regular season, but time-wise, it only lags by a minute or two.

[fondybrewfan]

Wow Bush is struggling big time this inning

[Mass Haas]

Lucroy with a long double -- the man-crush is inevitable...

[trwi7]

Speaking of man-crushes. Lorenzo Cain 2-3 with a walk. 7-3 Packers leading the Browns.

 

Edit: As I typed that, Nelson smacked a two run single. 9-3 now.

[Mass Haas]

Cain pretty much guaranteed to jump from # 8 when the first 2009 Power 50 is released in a couple of weeks.

[brewmann04]

great my man Nelson smacking the Ball

[WisconsinSportsRule]

I'm really happy for Brad. He'd be an asset off the bench.

 

If Cain has some more games like this, it won't be long before he's up. He's obviously not going to start, but who knows of TGJ.

[trwi7]

Learn something new everyday. I had no idea Tomo Ohka was in the Cleveland organization.

[jwill535]

You would have to think at this point in the eyes of the organization that Cain is ahead of Gwynn. I am not sure there is an aspect of the game that Gwynn is better at and combine that with age the future for Gwynn in the Brewer organization seems short.

[twobrewers]

Lo Cain. Unreal.

 

Two walks might be the best part of his performance.

 

If he has anything other than "Low" by Flo Rider as his walk-up song, I will be disappointed.

[Invader3K]

If some of these guys continue hitting like they are, the Brewers might have some really tough decisions when it comes to making the final 25 man roster.
