From TH blog:

 

RF Corey Hart

3B Bill Hall

LF Ryan Braun

1B Prince Fielder

CF Mike Cameron

SS J.J. Hardy

2B Casey McGehee

C Jason Kendall

RHP Jeff Suppan

 

This is certainly an interesting lineup. Hopefully the bats stay hot and Bill Hall proves his wroth v. LHP.

[datrain711]

Hart and hall setting the table, interesting.

[patrickgpe]

i don't mind that today. Hall has atleast been good against lefties and Hart is the best option to bat leadoff even though I admit it is not a great one.

[olliegjw]

With all of the platooning, and split differentials nowadays, how long will be until teams play tricks with their starting pitchers? For example, what if the Marlins had Miller throw one pitch, and then bring in a rested right handed starter. The Brewers would then have Hart and Hall at the top versus a righty. That would be ugly.

[Invader3K]

I've never heard of a team actually doing something like that, so it would really be something.

[davego]

Very intersting idea.

[BrewCrewForever]

It was comical reading the JSonline Brewers blog comments when TH posted the lineup. Guys just ripping Macha for having Hall batting 2nd. It's against a LHP, I'm fine with it.

I really don't like it, because odds are that 40% of his at-bats will be against a righty. If Macha is willing to pinch hit for him in the 6th, or 7th, I would not feel so bad about it.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

The Hall bashing has gone way too far IMO. Yes, Gamel is probably a better option at the plate against RHP, but Hall is still the better option vs. LHP. He's also much better in the field and should probably be in late in most games as a defensive sub. In this manner, I think Macha has been using him properly. Fans are underestimating how our improved defense over the last two years has helped our pitching staff...look at the huge play he made on Saturday. I think Mat will become a solid regular starter, but at this point he is still a huge question mark in the field.

 

Sorry, had to vent. Go Brewers.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

With all due respect to Craig Counsell...what a waste of 2 WS Championships for such a crummy fanbase. Ueck having a little fun ripping them.

[crewcrazy]

Let's see if we can get more posts in this thread than the number of people actually watching this game in person...I think three pages or so should do it.

 

Hopefully Suppan can take advantage of a pitcher's park and get us through 6 innings unscathed.

[PrinceEatMeat]

I think there are literally less than 1,000 fans in the stadium tonight. Hopefully their new ballpark will attract fans. It actually looks really cool.

[trwi7]

Please get at least one in Kendall.

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

So when will the first curse word from the crowd be heard on the broadcast?

 

I'm gonna put it at the 4th inning.

[rluzinski]

Kendall with 1 out and a runner at first....... don't do it!

[trwi7]

That will work!

 

I don't have Suppan swing here. I don't want to take the chance of him grounding into a double play. If he strikes out, so be it.

[dlk9s]

BA on Cameron being held at 3rd on McGehee's hit: "Brad Fischer sensing a big inning here."

 

Yes, with Kendall and Suppan coming up, I always sense that (doesn't mean it was a bad decision to hold Cameron).

[trwi7]

SUPPAN WALK!

I stand corrected!

[trwi7]

Ugh, Hall swung at ball four, twice.

[trwi7]

Then Braun goes and makes an out on the first pitch when the pitcher can't throw anything over the plate.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Well nice job squashing that inning by Braun and Hall. Hall swings at ball 4 twice, then Braun swings at the first pitch. Just great. Should've sent Kendall home on Hart's single.

[dabrew141]

I remember when Andrew Miller was drafted. He was suppose to be #1 I think then dropped to like 8. I was hoping he'd fall to us haha.

 

He moved up so quickly through AAA...

[Vgmastr]

Ugh, that should have been so much more. Hall swings at ball four, then Braun grounds out on the first pitch after Miller showed he couldn't find the strike zone.
