Zack Greinke


14-5, 4.00

Greinke might have looked erratic in his last start on Friday, but he credited a young Astros lineup for making him work. The Brewers are 17-6 when he takes the mound.

Chris Carpenter


8-9, 3.92

Carpenter has had trouble this year avoiding the big inning, and that's a dangerous trait against a Milwaukee club that can score in bunches. The Cardinals have lost Carpenter's past four starts.

This is probably the exact lineup I would have written today, assuming Green can play 2B and Hairston is unavailable

 

I don't like Yuni bating 8th like some suggest. If it comes up where a pitcher wants to work around the 8 hitter to get to the pitcher, I would rather have anyone than Yuni at the plate, including some pitchers. Have to bat Yuni 7th.

I tried to log in on my iPad. Turns out it was an etch-a-sketch and I don't own an iPad. Also, I'm out of vodka.

If the pitcher wants to work around the 8th hitter, wouldn't that suggest not giving him anything to hit so he walks? Unless of course you're talking about that happening and Yuni still swinging at garbage pitches.

This is Jack Burton in the Pork Chop Express, and I'm talkin' to whoever's listenin' out there.

That is exactly what I'm talking about. Yuni will definitely swing at those garbage pitches.
