Zaun behind Prince and Casey... my money is on him grounding into a triple play.

[And That]

...is the 560th anniversary of the Battle of Formigny!

I want this game because today is my mother's 70th birthday. That, and for the reasons the others said.

[GoudaBrew]

Not sure why Macha wouldn't want more lefties in the lineup today against Wells. Last year left handers had a .805 OPS v. Wells and right handers had a .571 OPS v. him.

 

edit: grammar

[Oldcity]

He clearly doesn't want to take Hart out of the lineup right now, and Gomez hasn't played in a few days.... Replacing one of those two would be the chance to play a lefty. I suppose he could have given Escobar the day off and played Counsell.

 

Boy, does this lineup fall off a cliff after McGehee.

I feel like Escobar has had good at-bats overall, despite the lack of hits. Without looking at pitch stats, he seems like he's been more selective than expected. He has also hit several balls very hard, but right at people. I think he'll be fine in the long run.

[And That]

I've been impressed with Escobar too, even though his improved plate discipline still has a ways to go. Guy can hit the ball hard.

 

Whatever happened to the idea of hitting the pitcher 8th again? Macha brought it up early in spring but we never heard any more of it.

[jimmyjeromehardy7]

Zaun in the 6 hole is what he needs to break out of his slump. 3 for 4 today.

 

This is the closest to a must win this early as can be.

[Menotti80]

1 for 5 would be breaking out of a slump for him... and i'd take it1

[BrewCrewForever]

Zaun and Gomez back to back. Ugghhhh.

McCalvy ask him about batting the pitcher 8th and he more or less said that he is not considering it anymore.

There is no such thing as leftover matzoh...it lasts forever.

[logan82]

One of the better lineups the Brewers have had this year. I suppose Edmonds instead of Hart could be argued but all the bad hitters are at the bottom.

Let's call it "passed over" matzoh.

[razzzorsharp]

Jeepers man, what a poor start.

[sheethead]

Lovely start. Did anyone get their bat on the ball?

[dlk9s]

Wells for Cy Young.

[afeter]

no

[bucks2281]

Wells for Cy Young.

 

Just wait till he faces the black hole of suck after McGehee.
