Here's the line up if you are looking for it pretendastronaut:

 

Weeks 4 Counsell 6 Braun 7 Fielder 3 McGehee 5 Edmonds 8 Hart 9 Kottaras 2 Wolf 1

[trwi7]

Getting really tired of this Counsell starting over Escobar crap.

[prophet]

Getting really tired of this Counsell starting over Escobar crap.

I have no problem with it. He has to start once in a while. Gives us another lefty bat, plays solid defense, and he's hitting pretty good so far this year.

[TheCrew07]

He's a bad hitter who throws the ball away. not to mention he's not capable of hitting at the top of the order because of his ground ball percentage... what do you expect Macha to do if Gomez isn't playing?

[trwi7]

I have no problem with it. He has to start once in a while.

He started two games in a row a while ago for Escobar.

[owbc]

Counsell has put up better numbers than Escobar, with better defense. Escobar is the future, but Counsell continues to prove that he deserves to be the #1 bat off the bench and start multiple times per week.

[ilovebeer]

So how many run will the Brewers score tonight,nothing less than 12 will be tolerated

[Invader3K]

So how many run will the Brewers score tonight,nothing less than 12 will be executable

You're suggesting they put the team to death if they score less than 12?

[jjkoestler]

Vegas has the over/under at 9. Think I'll take the over.

[rluzinski]

Ether Escobar should get 5 starts a week or he should be in AAA.

[jjkoestler]

Is today the best day to rest Zaun? He got it going yesterday and now Macha sits him? (I can't believe I just typed that)

[ilovebeer]

A nice quick low pitch count of ten for wolf in the first inning

[logan82]

Sure glad Counsell is a better hitter than Edmonds.

[Invader3K]

Is today the best day to rest Zaun? He got it going yesterday and now Macha sits him? (I can't believe I just typed that)

Personally, I like this approach to the catcher's spot more than the last two guys', who would run Jason Kendall out reflexively and let Mike Rivera collect cobwebs on the bench.

[owbc]

I thought that Kottaras was going to catch Wolf every time this year.

[endaround]

Kottaras catches Wolf and Davis, Zaun catches Gallarado, Bush and Narveson.

[Mr QL]

Charge the mound if Karstens throws at anyone

[endaround]

Ether Escobar should get 5 starts a week or he should be in AAA.

Obviously the Brewers need the extra offensive oomph when facing the Pirates.

[Invader3K]

I hadn't heard anything about that, but you might be right. Personally I've never been big on the idea of personal catchers.

 

Good to see Suppan getting closing tips from Hoffman out there in the 'pen.

[endaround]

I'm not sure its personal so much, and if Kottaras would be scheduled to face a tough LH Zaun might get the call but if Kottaras starts 2 games a week might as well be with the same pitchers.

[razzzorsharp]

I think Doumit has some sort of contact lenses in our something. It looks like something out of The Lost Boys.

[ilovebeer]

Is this the first lead the pirate's have had on us this year?

[razzzorsharp]

That was a ball to Karstens as well.

[Invader3K]

Is this the first lead the pirate's have had on us this year?

I think so.

 

Time for the Brewers to get the bats going. Also I'm currently in the chat room if others would like to join in.
