Batting Kotsay behind Fielder is a terrible decision IMO. There aren't any good options to put behind Prince but you at least pick any one of the righties, except Gomez of course.

What are they waiting for with Hart? Don't get the rationale of having the guy come up from Nashville and then not activating him. If he wasn't ready, why not keep him in Nashville a little longer?
They were planning to activate him Wednesday, but he was supposed to get a few AB's in Nashville today. However, the game got rained out, so they just brought him back to Milwaukee and gave him the day off.

If they want to wait a day or so to see if McGehee needs to go on the DL, then they can activate Hart and put McGehee on the DL instead of being forced to option Almonte in the process who would probably get the majority of the starts at 3B.

So if McGehee is unavailable tonight -- is the four-man bench now a three-man bench?

 

Boggs, Almonte, Nieves?

 

How can you not activate Hart tonight under these circumstances? This 13-man staff is ridiculous!

Melvin does this stuff every year it seems. He must have a quota for AAA airline tickets. And then RR makes it worse by batting 2 lefties in a row. I look forward to Kotsay batting against a lefty in an important situation and the possibility of a Yo pinch hit!

The way Lucroy and Gomez are hitting right now they should really be ahead of Kotsay & Betancourt.

 

I look forward to this lineup hopefully being the last dreadful lineup this year. Its amazing what one player (Hart) can do to make a whole lineup look better. It would be even more amazing if Gomez can keep his performance up for an extended period of time.

Completely agree. If Hart was set to play in a game in Nashville tonight, then he's certainly ready to pinch hit in Milwaukee.

 

edit: Weeks 4 Counsell 5 Braun 7 Fielder 3 Kotsay 9 Betancourt 6 Lucroy 2 Gomez 8 Estrada 1

You don't have an Adam Wainwright. Easily the best gentlemen in all of sports. You don't have the amount of real good old American men like the Cardinals do. Holliday, Wainwright, Skip, Berkman those 4 guys are incredible people

I agree as far as activating Hart just as a pinch-hitter. I think we could afford to drop a pitcher. We didn't really have to kill the pen last night. Just could've optioned out Kintzler because he threw a few innings last night.

Kintzler has way more upside and has performed better than Sean Green. They will both be off the MLB roster soon enough with Parra and Saito coming back but I'd rather have Kintzler for 1-2 weeks than Green.

Why can't Lucroy hit 5th. Or 2nd. He really is the 5th best hitter on the team right now.

If somebody has to get beamed in the face, at least it is the guy who doesn't deserve the roster spot in the first place

Come on now.

I'd start Boggs if the only reason being that they'll inevitably need a big pinch hit. I'd have more confidence in Kotsay in that role.
