I don't know why I even bother looking at the lineup these days. It's virtually impossible for Casey or Yuni to play themselves out of the lineup, despite better options.

 

Hardly anyone has seen Millwood at all, not sure if that's good or bad. Save for Yuni, who is hitting under .200 against him in 50 at bats.

[reillymcshane]

The definition of insanity is continuing to do the same thing over and over, and then expecting different results.

 

I wouldn't mind a day off for Luc as well as Yuni and Casey. All of these guys have been struggling at the plate. You could load up the offense with some extra lefties - Green, Kotaras. Get JHJ some playing time at SS. Heck, even give Counsel the start.

 

guess not.

 

sigh.

I'm about to leave for my first Brewers game since... I don't remember when. 2009, maybe? Whew. It's been a long time.

I don't know why I even bother looking at the lineup these days. It's virtually impossible for Casey or Yuni to play themselves out of the lineup, despite better options.

I can somewhat grasp that Roenicke might be more comfortable with the two players (McGehee, Betancourt) who have spent the most time with the club this year over the new acquisitions (Green, Hairston). But must they always bat in sequence?

The black hole in the lineup is not just having two particular batters who are terrible: it's that those two particular players are batting #6 and #7 in the lineup, the two highest spots in the order possible for them. Why can't they hit #6 and #8? Or if they must hit back-to-back, why not bat them #7 and #8?

RRR loves his small sample sizes, if Hairston can't get a start tonight, he may never get one.

[ilovebeer]

Lets hope Shaun is on his game tonight.

[Raw Biz]

Lets hope Shaun is on his game tonight.

Since he's only had about 4-5 really bad starts on the year, I think he'll be fine. Tonight should be no different. Just go out there and take care of business.

[nate82]

Lets hope Shaun is on his game tonight.

No lets hope for the offense to score more than 2 runs tonight. How about 5 or 6 runs tonight?

[DuWayne Steurer]

No Tulo and no Helton. Please Brewers, win this game against the Rockies minus 2 of their 3 best hitters.

[Raw Biz]

When I saw him rounding 2nd, I thought he was gonna be dead at 3rd.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Boy that ball rattled around in teh corner a while. Nice start for the offense tonight.

[DuWayne Steurer]

When I saw him rounding 2nd, I thought he was gonna be dead at 3rd.

That's what I thought, but it actually wasn't even close.

[owbc]

Is it really sweater weather already in Milwaukee? I forget how short summer is up there.

[Raw Biz]

Apparently McGehee going 1-4 is showing signs he's about to break out of his slump. At least according to Schroeder.

Didn't get much over 60 today and they're talking frost the next couple nights.

[packfan79]

I havent seen alot of Green but is Mcgahee really a better defensive player then Green? That just can't be right can it...

[burnzy24]

Bill just said that McGehee is better than Green defensively....

[Raw Biz]

I would say McGehee is closer to below average/bad and Green is closer to average/slightly below average.

[Baldkin]

Bill just said that McGehee is better than Green defensively....

Which means he probably isn't.....

[natronek8780]

Mill wood doesn't look like he wants anything to do with bunting here

[natronek8780]

Of course he puts down a perfect one right after I say that

[trwi7]

Nice to know we can't get scrubs like Mark Ellis out.

[Raw Biz]

Bad defense leading to another run.

[natronek8780]

Bad defense leading to another run.

You mean 3 runs. Ugh.
