Zack Greinke

7-2, 4.77

Greinke is finding his rhythm again as he pitched seven innings and surrendered just one earned run. His fastball had more life and his changeup mixed up the opposition, helping him fan 10 batters for the second straight game.

Weeks 2B

Morgan CF

Braun LF

Fielder 1B

McGehee 3B

Hart RF

Gamel DH

Betancourt SS

Lucroy C

 

There'll probably be debate over Fielder vs. Gamel as the 1B, but I'm just glad Kotsay isn't starting over Gamel. Very competitive lineup compared to the ones used in Boston.

[PrinceEatMeat]

I called this lineup. Even though Weeks Morgan Braun Fielder Hart Gamel McGehee Lucroy Betancourt would make the most sense. Oh well, can't complain much. At least we have Gamel DH'ing.

[Warning Track Power]

This is the big one in this series. If we can get this one tonight, we have a real good shot at 2 of 3. I honestly like our lineup better offensively and we have the starting pitching advantage in 2 of the 3 games. Hoping we don't go in intimidated, but I am very optimistic about this series.

[owbc]

The team that hits the most 275 ft home runs to RF wins.

[pretendastronaut]

For some reason I'm much more excited about this series than Boston or Tampa Bay. Let's hope it holds.

[DocBrewPack]

I think i am excited for this series as much as i ever have been except for the playoffs and opening days.

 

going to be interesting

[Yeti73]

Shocked that RR didn't start Kotsay here. He has a homerun off Garcia!!!

 

I feel good about this series and, if Marcum feels okay, think we can take it.

[RobDeer 45]

Ya I like this setup. Agreed sliding Casey back makes sense but we have that debate every day. Really excited about Gamel in the lineup and hope he does well. Let's get this one!

[Funketown]

It's great to finally see Gamel in the lineup, but I really wonder how long it will take for McGehee to be dropped in the order. I really don't mind Gamel being the DH while Prince plays the field, though.

[pretendastronaut]

In a 3 game set I don't think it really matters much about Game or Fielder at DH. I wouldn't be surprised to see Gamel get a day at 1B though.

[GoudaBrew]

Gamel probably won't be seeing any starts vs. lefties will he? I'd bet RR DH's McGehee vs. Sabathia and lets Wilson play 3rd. Were Gamels splits vs. lefties always so poor before this year? For some reason I thought he was nearly the same hitter vs. lefties. Maybe that's when he was in A ball or something

[markedman5]

Id love if it was Hart 5th Gamel 6th, Lucroy 7th and then Casey and YB.

 

That top 7 would be pretty good.

[ECpackers]

here's a novel idea...put out 3rd best hitter in the 8 hole, and put our worst hitter, in the 5 spot.

 

ah well, we have been winning, so we cant really call for RR head just yet ;p he IS ned yost 2.0 though.

 

 

if YO or wolf, or shaun were pitching, i'd say i think we win.....with greinke i have no clue, i never do. might be a no hitter, might be 10er in 5ip, with 10k's.

 

if we can bat .250 with RISP today, i'd bet we can score 6-8 runs.

[jhart05]

I would have liked to see Gamel at 1B, just to see how he looks there, but more importantly, let's hope he continues his recent hot streak and takes advantage of that short porch in RF.

 

Greinke, this is the type of game you're here to win. Show us that "Cy Young stuff" tonight. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

I kind of like Lucroy in the 9 spot. Gives you someone there who can turn the lineup over for one of the best leadoff hitters in the game right now.

 

Go Crew!!

Wait? You think Betancourt is our 3rd best hitter? Our did you mean Lucroy? Either way you're wrong. Our 5 best hitters against RHP are Weeks, Morgan, Braun, Fielder, and Hart. Then it's Lucroy. They should hit 1-6 when we don't have a DH.

[Eddiehitsthefoulpole]

I would have liked to have seen Counsell in this line-up. I guess that we are saving him for September.

 

I like the Ned 2.0 description of Roenicke. I find them to be eerily similar. Strange game time decisions, strange personal decisions, and a lack of self-assessment seem to be the hallmarks of both regimes.

[BrewCrewForever]

I honestly wonder how much longer they can bat McGehee 5th. At some point you have to pull the plug and move him to 6 or 7.

[dlk9s]

Ah, nards. MLB Network is showing either BOS/PHI or MIL/NYY down here in Atlanta. I figured it would be the former, and I was right.

[ilovebeer]

Welcome back Matt. Lets kill the yankees

[ilovebeer]

Go Brewers, Baltimore, Tampa Bay and Toronto.

[hawing]

Remember, Brewers: They're just guys - like you, only paid extra outlandishly.

[ilovebeer]

Nice hit Morgan, I knew there was a reason i have been writing in your name to the all star game.

[chuckcrim]

Wow is Garcia deliberate on the mound. Doug Davis-esque

[Hofbraunhaus]

That sucks. Would have been nice to at least get a run on the board early.
