Wouldn't mind seeing Escobar and Gomez switch.

[olliegjw]

Wouldn't mind seeing Escobar and Gomez switch.

Or just slide Gomez down to 9th, and slide everyone else up a spot.

 

 

[logan82]

Edmonds not only in the bottom but back to back with Kottaras. What the crap Macha. Your lineups were pretty good for the last week. Get Gomez back in the bottom. Just because he had a few good days doesn't mean he can hit.

[rluzinski]

God, is Gomez a hacker.

[chuckiehacks]

Ueck, you're killing me here.

[jjkoestler]

Prince finally gets the monkey off his back.

[jimmyjeromehardy7]

Fielder on the board.

[brains and braun]

Prince!!!! Off the schneid!

[trwi7]

Now Prince is smiling. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[ReverendBrewmeister]

And Fielder finally chalks one up in the HR category!

[hawing]

Prince off the home run schneid!

 

Also, what are the odds of a baseball team having two McCutchens?

[pretendastronaut]

4 of the first 6 with hard hit balls. Playing the Pirates is much more fun.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

It all turned with the at-bat where he busted the dudes phone with the Fielder jersey. Prince should really buy him a new one...keep the good karma going!

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Also, what are the odds of a baseball team having two McCutchens?

About the same as a mystery novel having two MacGuffins.

[brains and braun]

Hey, I almost made the MacGuffin joke! I love Brewerfan. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[jimmyjeromehardy7]

Fielder home run stats

 

2006 - 5 in April, one before April 18th and two before April 22nd

2007 - 6 in April, one before April 20th and two before April 23rd

2008 - 4 in April, one before April 23rd

2009 - 3 in April, one before April 25th

2010 - first homer April 22nd

 

No reason to worry, Prince will heat up with the weather.

[Boisebrewer]

God, I love Ueck calling Carpenter a whiner. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif

 

 

[trwi7]

On a subject that many of you have asked about -- why Carlos Gomez bats second when he plays -- Macha said he thought about flipping Gomez with Alcides Escobar, who has been batting eighth and has a much higher on-base percentage (.354 to .263). Macha said he likes the impact Gomez can have with his speed in the No. 2 spot when he does get on base, such as Wednesday night when he scored from third on Casey McGehee's tapper in front of the plate.

Asked how many players could have scored on that play, Macha said, "Not many."

Macha also said that Escobar, despite being a free swinger, has done well in the No. 8 spot and doesn't want to necessarily mess with that success.

Macha sucks.

[sheethead]

Can't really complain about Diego's production so far this year.

[brains and braun]

Saw that too trwi. Well, at least he has a good reason...

[dlk9s]

My daughter is watching Go Diego Go right now. Just thought I should mention that.

[Dragonbait]

Almost forgot about the game.... Turn it on to hear Uke talkin bout Crapenter.

 

Miss Prince's HR.... good to see we have a lead..... (Unless Wolf gives it back here.)

[trwi7]

No, Brian, that took an awful hop and no, they wouldn't have gotten an out on that play.

[sheethead]

Watched the Fielder HR highlight, and it seems that Brian will never grasp when a ball is crushed vs. when its a routine fly. He's seen more games than I have, and he just doesn't get it.
