I would love to see a great Gallardo start today ala his start vs New York but this time the offense actually puts multiple runs on the board. Lets get two in a row and series win before the all-star break.

[Yeti73]

Love that picture of Kershaw. He looks pitiful. Unfortunately, he's been really solid this year. The 'stros roughed him up quite a bit and he isn't as good away from LA so there are some things to grasp at.

[pretendastronaut]

Via McCalvy;

 

Kendall

Hart

Braun

Fielder

McGehee

Cameron

Hall

Counsell

Gallardo

Edit: Maybe one of the more baffling lineups of the first half. My as well end on a high note.

[Yeti73]

From ESPN:

 

J Kendall C

C Hart RF

R Braun LF

P Fielder 1B

C McGehee 2B

M Cameron CF

B Hall 3B

C Counsell

Y Gallardo P

 

Interesting...Kendall still in the 1st spot. Hardy not starting after heating up.. Not a fan of that. At least Corey is feeling a bit better.

[derflotr]

Fielder should have Ned pitch for him at the HR derby.

[Yeti73]

Ideally we can take a lot of pitches today and get Kershaw out by the 5th. Their pen is depleted and Broxton is unavailable. I'd love to see Mota for a few innings.

[saget]

Must win? Yes, I think so.

[thablingster]

What will the crowd do now that they can't sing along to Frank Catalanotto's batting music since he isn't in the lineup? (seriously, the past two days every time Cat came up there were entire sections in the 400 level singing his batting music, lol).

 

The crowds the last few nights have been amusing. Hopefully there is a good crowd today as well. Take some pitches, score some runs, and go into the ASB on a good note!

[pretendastronaut]

It would be a heck of a boost personally to take 2 of 3 from the Dodgers, knowing we should have taken all 3 then. Overall they've hung with the Dodgers much better than I expected. I've dreaded this series for about a month and a half.

[Jofis11ep]

This game is also on TBS, I did not know this.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Hardy has to be hurt right?

[crewcrazy]

From Witrado:

 

SS JJ Hardy is out today after hurting his collar-bone area on a swing last night. Ken Macha was unsure when Hardy hurt the area, but he is out of the lineup and will have the next four days off to rest thanks to the all-star break.

[davego]

My Birthday today. As I get more elderly, I'm demanding more things in life...such as victory today.

[trwi7]

Ugh, nice defense Hart.

[Mr QL]

Bring back Catanolotto

[Yeti73]

Rough start here for Yo. Gotta keep the pitch count down. Hopefully that is all Manny has in him for the day and now that he has his hit streak he'll coast the rest of the day.

[jvrocksaz]

Little leaguers will play that type of ball better at the HR derby...

[DannoMac21]

This team's a joke.

[Mr QL]

I think I hear Yakety Sax playing somewhere in the distance

[derflotr]

You don't beat the Dodgers doing this. Clayton Kershaw is licking his chops.

[Vgmastr]

National TV today, so the Brewers have to play like little leaguers.

[pebadger]

Ladies and gentlemen, your 2009 Milwaukee Brewers.

[jvrocksaz]

I am sorry, but this is not a playoff team... This is a comedy of errors... Go ahead and rip me for jumping the gun today but this team finds new ways to lose games.

[Jofis11ep]

yuck... Alright stop them here and let's get our bats warmed up!!
