[crewcrazy]

Given the Hart situation, I can't say I dislike this lineup. Hopefully the Parra/Rivera connection continues to work well tonight, but Kershaw's going to be really tough -- he's coming off 8 shutout innings (4 hits) against the Cards. He's given up a total of 3 runs in his past 5 starts...I smell a (hopefully) low-scoring game.

[BrewCrewForever]

Hall in RF could be interesting. I would feel more comfortable defense wise with Braun in RF and Hall in LF.

[BrewCrewForever]

I would assume with the Brewers in LA, Mr. Attanasio in attendance for this series?

[princeginterhallhelms04]

I am just hoping that the brewers do not get swept. LA is hard to beat in MIL. but in LA LA land it's going to be a chore!

I kind of hope so. I'd love to hear his comments on the Brewers' performance so far this season.

[owbc]

Cubs fans should be happy, they no longer have the worst defensive corner outfielders in the big leagues.

[thablingster]

Welcome back, Bill Hall. Please be productive, we need you now more than ever.

 

Good to see Parra with Rivera. It is going to be important for him to throw non-cookie strikes tonight.

[Yeti73]

Hopefully we learned something from the last time we saw him. The trick is to have long ABs against him and take pitches. Easier said than done...

[Weirdos19]

Guessing Manny in left and Eithier is worse??? No way Braun and Hall are worse than Soriano and Bradley/Hoffpauir.

Not to mention the Nationals.

 

I didn't realize Hall hasn't played a single game in RF in his career, but he was solid in center...I'm pretty comfortable saying that at this point Braun is pretty near average in left. Maybe I'm crazy, though.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Beautiful night here for baseball in LA. Only problem...they rampur of brats at the two stands I went to. Must be the Brewers fans!!!

[trwi7]

Braun makes so many dumb decisions in the outfield.

[dlk9s]

.I'm pretty comfortable saying that at this point Braun is pretty near average in left.

Not on the hit there by Manny, I guess. Tough play, although he would have been wise to just let it drop in front of him.

[derflotr]

Manny finally hit the glove a couple times in the Blake AB. Keep it up!

[pretendastronaut]

Was that Hall's new swing? Sure looks like the old swing.

[trwi7]

I was only partially listening. What the heck were Brian and Bill talking about Gamel and right field for?

[Invader3K]

It was a Carsoup question they got.

[Oldcity]

Heard BA say "And Alyssa Milano joining us..." and my immediate that was WHAT? WHY? SWEET! and then heard "at the ballpark tonight." Heh.

[dlk9s]

Man, could there have been three worse hits strung together to score a run?

[sauveb]

Lopez sure seems to have a lot of trouble turning the easy double play.

[trwi7]

Man, could there have been three worse hits strung together to score a run?

Only two were hits. Nice job by Manny getting out of it with only one run though.

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

Way to bear down Manny!

[WisconsinSportsRule]

Got lucky there, still don't know why we pitched to Manny, but glad I was wrong.
