Did I miss something, was Macha replaced with Ned Yost yesterday?

 

Lineup per TH:

 

BREWERS

2B Felipe Lopez

3B Craig Counsell

LF Ryan Braun

1B Prince Fielder

CF Mike Cameron

RF Jody Gerut

C Mike Rivera

LHP Manny Parra

SS Alcides Escobar

[sheethead]

go brewers?

[stalton]

I guess at this point, Macha is trying anything. I didn't know where Escobar was going to hit and had a few ideas. 9th wasn't one of them

[ryne100]

I think Macha doesn't like Melvin.

[badgerfletch]

Just realized the crew is only 7 games ahead of San Diego, and 7.5 behind St Louis, yikes!

Lineup looks good for today

[wibadgers23]

Old man Macha says, "Okay Doug, you're gonna make me play the young guy. Well I'm just going to bat him 9th then. And then I'll probably do a double switch in the 6th inning and take him out. I'll show you."

[phxMILWfan]

Seriously? At this point Macha is just messing with DM. I didn't expect to see Escobar hit anywhere in the top 5 but 9th? Welcome to the big leagues... I think so little of you that you will be hitting 9th. The only way it is more offensive is if Kendall was playing.

[bklynbrewcrew]

I think its time for Macha to be double switched for.

[trademark04]

I'm not greatly surprised by this.....he has to tinker with the lineup every day.

[Funketown]

Parra has more career hits than Escobar. He is clearly a better hitter.

[saget]

"Durr two leadoff hitters durr"

[dlk9s]

On the fast track to 6.5 games back!

[pretendastronaut]

We've been winning 1 out of 3 for some time now, which would sound promising for today. But then again, it's a day game at Miller Park.

[Gobias Industries]

Macha's pulling a Costanza. He must wanna get fired.

 

Ueck just did his pre-game interview with him, and his quote on Escobar went something like this: "He's got good range, but he's probably gonna make some mistakes on balls hit right to him." What's the point in saying this? Guy is a really weird dude.

[topper09er]

Another ML debut + Home day game = sweep

[T B0NE 10]

I've had enough of Macha...guys a complete idiot

 

I liked Yost more this joker.

[trwi7]

Hopefully we get Gamel some starts when he's called up in September so we can bat him 8th, Escobar 9th, pitcher 7th, Kendall 6th and Gerut 5th.

[trwi7]

I think Macha doesn't like Melvin.

Nobody like Macha either. So I guess they're even.

[saget]

That has to be the fastest 1st inning Parra has ever had.

[topper09er]

Seriously, Braun has not walked since July 29

[trwi7]

Seriously, Braun has not walked since July 29

I wonder if he's even had a three ball count since then.

[crewcrazy]

On the fast track to 6.5 games back!

One game at a time, right? ;-)

 

Little bit of 2nd inning trouble for Manny here, though. He probably should've been covering first on that bases loaded throw home, though.

[trwi7]

What a shot. My God that was amazing.

[sheethead]

Those were the Padres i was expecting to see. Nice shot by Prince.
