2011-05-03 Brewers (Estrada) at Braves (Hanson) - 6:10 PM CDT - Postponed by rain; doubleheader May 4 starting at 3:00 CT

Please tell me Greinke is starting Game 2, if I have to miss seeing his first start because of a stupid rainout...

The Brewers' Facebook page reports exactly that: Estrada in game 1 at 3:10 CT (though Brewers.com says 3:00) and Greinke in game 2, 30 minutes after the conclusion of game 1.

 

Welcome to Greinke Debut Eve.

Is there any reason why we wouldn't start Marcum tomorrow, and then use Estrada to back up Greinke? Keep Zack on a strict pitch count and be able to save our bullpen some strain?

This is the second traditional DHer the Brewers have played this year! That has to be some sort of record for the past decade!

Well, I picked a good time to attend my first game of the year. That was fun.

Roenicke probably doesn't wanna mess up the new rotation. He want to split the lefties, and if he started Marcum today, Wolf would go tomorrow, and then Gallardo wouldn't be able to start until Saturday. They want him to slot in between Wolf and Narveson.
