2011-05-17 Brewers (Wolf) at Dodgers (Kuroda) - 9:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 3-0]

Soooooooo close to the optimal lineup. I don't mean to quibble when we've finally made an important move, but why does the worst hitter on the team (Gomez included) get to bat 6??? Baby steps I guess.

[ilovebeer]

I bet the Wolf man has a good game tonight.

[rluzinski]

Switch Lucroy with Yuni and I would have no complaints about this lineup.

I agree that Lucroy is better but one batting position probably won't make much difference. Dropping Gomez SIX spots will.

It's a shame that RR was the last person to realize the folly of Gomez batting 2nd but better late than never, that's for sure. Time to move on.

I think all west coast games should start at 5pm no us in the central time zone don't have to stay up late.

I get what you're saying but that wouldn't be fair. Just be happy we only make a few trips out west a year. You have to either tough it out and go on less sleep or don't watch/listen to the game.

Only reason why Lucroy is catching Wolf is pretty soon his "personal catcher" Nieves will be a goner.

[ilovebeer]

I was joking when I said that

[rluzinski]

Fielder pulls a Gomez and uses his speed to stay out of the double play. Come on Casey.... make em pay.

[rluzinski]

Soooo damn close.

[Raw Biz]

Alright, wasn't sure since I didn't see any blue.

[ELCABALLO45]

That ball is gone in Milwaukee.

 

Also, the Cubs have 4 errros tonight vs. Cincinnati. Thanks Chicago.

[Yeti73]

Good effort by Casey. Listening to Scully is really awesome. I feel like I"m watching a game on ESPN classic.

 

"on deck, the Number 1 first ball swinger in the league, Yuniesky Betencourt."

[UeckerAddict]

That's the first base runner our opponents have had in the first 3 innings since Saturday.

[SenatorShriv]

Not a great start. Hopefully Wolf can limit the damage from their big hitters from here on out.

[Yeti73]

That was extremely predictible

[ttsather]

Well, Brian Anderson served that one up nicely.

 

Also: Please don't hurt yourself, Corey.

[rluzinski]

Walk the lefty and give up a blast. That sucks.

[ilovebeer]

come on Randy you are better than that.

[ELCABALLO45]

Matt Kemp is a beast

[UeckerAddict]

And there's the first hit in the first three innings since Saturday.......and it was the worst kind.

[SenatorShriv]

Yea, Hart looked like he was trying to do a Gomez impression on that HR. Looked like he timed the jump wrong but it was hard to tell on my computer screen.

[Raw Biz]

come on Randy you are better than that.

Honestly, I don't know if he is.

[rluzinski]

Yea, Hart looked like he was trying to do a Gomez impression on that HR. Looked like he timed the jump wrong but it was hard to tell on my computer screen.

He was way early but it was gone by about 10 feet.

I think it was further out of his reach than it looked. As Vin Scully said, it was hit so high that Hart thought he had a chance to catch it until the last moment.

Very nice, Mr. Braun.
