The suddenly hot Cubs are destroying the Reds again today. It might be time to write off Cincinnati.

[logan82]

Hairston should be in for Betancourt. The best way to make use of Betancourt is to limit his time in the field and PA vs RHP.

[geddymd73]

Hairston is not a wizard with the glove at SS either, and he stinks against Myers. Betancourt is just about the same with the bat against righties than lefties. He's hit in 15 of his past 16 games, on another 8 game hitting streak, and raised his OBP about 20 points. There's not much more you can ask of him, or even chance taking him out of the lineup.

You don't need to be a defensive wizard to be a lot better than Betancourt.

No, he isn't. Betancourt stinks vs RHP. What Betancourt has done over the last 3-4 years is a much better indication of what to expect than what he has done this year or in just the last few weeks.

he(Hairston) stinks against Myers.

 

None of this stuff matters. It is small sample and not predictive.

Which is exactly why you play him while he is hot. We know you hate Yuni, we got it. He is going to be the SS this year so just deal with it.

This is the game I am a little worried about, but Chris has been pitching well.

[RobDeer 45]

Keep doing it Milwaukee. Really enjoying catching the results (even mlb audio for the game last night) while on vacation! Maybe for the sake of the team I should stay over here because they keep winning.

[liveforoctober]

Man, that lineup looks so much nastier when McGehee and Betancourt are seeing the baseball and can offer something offensively ...

[TauPentaRei]

I didn't see Carpenter sweating buckets at Miller... but I can't imagine the dew point in Miami is going to be agreeable with his perspiration ducts. Hopefully he lasts 4 innings and Nolasco shines.

[topper09er]

Are the Astros too embarrassed to release their lineup?

[ReverendBrewmeister]

The Earl Weaver for Prince. Get out to a big lead early and keep tacking on!

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

I love the big bang off the foul pole...sounded like he almost knocked it over!

[topper09er]

Brett Myers hasn't seen anything beaten as badly as Prince did to that baseball since his wife last overcooked the meatloaf

[Bombers]

I love the big bang off the foul pole...sounded like he almost knocked it over!

 

 

Lol .. It certainly did

[DuWayne Steurer]

Nice start here. This is the one game in the series I felt the Astros had at least a reasonable chance of winning, so it's nice to jump on Myers early.

[topper09er]

His Eminence Albert Cardinal Pujols just hit a 2-run dinger, Birds 2 - Fish 0 top 1

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Pujols just went yard for 2 in the 1st. Only 78 at gametime there...so Carp may not have to explain his Albert Brooks imitation to his son.

 

Just keep takin' care of business Brew Crew!

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

They should change the name back to Enron Field...it'd be more appropriate.

[topper09er]

Houston is the only stadium where that is an out, everywhere else you have to play deeper because the fence isnt within Jason Kendall HR range

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Ha, Carlos Lee wouldn't get to that in 3 hops.

 

2011 Brewers 3, 2002 Brewers 0.

[topper09er]

Next time take another step Yuni

[topper09er]

Casey looks like hes reverted back to his Yuni copycat swing, flying open and finishing off balance with one hand on the bat

[FoxyFoxes]

Well there goes my Dish Network for awhile...... Game day /radio it is.

[topper09er]

I will say Prince was out, Quintero was blocking the plate enough to prevent Prince's lead leg from touching the plate
