Hairston not make the trip?

[jjgott]

Hairston not make the trip?

He was there last night and continued his hitless streak. No matter who is playing SS for the Brewers seems to lack any productivity.

[hawing]

Try to overcome the black hole in the lineup, Brewers. 1-0 for Saturday.

[sdcheezhd]

Where's Ueck????

[Schlitz001]

Nice RBI 100 for Braun. Get a runner on, get him over and get him in.

[packfan79]

Did I miss something, is Weeks hurt? He just had a day off so now the back end of our lineup includes Mcghee, Yuni and Counsell... You might as well just walk Braun and Fielder every time up.

[azcheesehead]

Weeks is sore. He tried to talk his way into the lineup but RRR decided to give him the night off.

[logan82]

Well at least they are not playing Hairston. That would ruin team chemistry.

[razzzorsharp]

It went from being 2 on with one out, a 2-0 count, and a third ball on the way to out of the inning in three pitches.

[Brewer Fever]

Hunter Pence with the RBI double for the Phillies. Phi 1 StL 0 in the bottom of the 1st.

[BREWCREW5]

Well, RR has Casey and Yuni batting 5th and 6th and they kill the rally. How do all of us see this and he does not?

 

I also want to point out that I rarely question a manager but this is killing me.

[jwill535]

I rarely wish ill will on anyone, but why cant there a Puerto Rican tunnel with mats in Betancourts future?

[YutakaEnatsu]

The JS blog today said Hairston has been battling an injury. Still I'd rather see just about anyone besides Yuni out there at this point.

[markedman5]

Nice rally going.. a struggling pitcher.....patient at bats from Prince and Braunie and then.........Casey takes him off the hook by swinging at a 2-0 pitch at eye level and then Yuni pops up on the first pitch.

 

 

1-0....come on Yo put up a zero

[logan82]

Hairston on a broken leg is probably faster and has more range than YunE.

[WisconsinSportsRule]

Sometime you wonder why McGehee is even playing. He swung at a ball nearly at his head on a 2-0 count and then flew out to right. He's just all out of sorts, yet, Green gets a couple at bats last night and gets pulled. What gives?

[ELCABALLO45]

Where's Ueck????

Family thing I believe.

[1992casey]

Hopefully, it's a good family thing rather than a bad family thing.

[ELCABALLO45]

"Family Obligation" according to a tweet from Haudricourt

[jjfanec]

Morgan had a good shot at that home run. Yo looks to have a start similar to Greinke's last one going. Lots of K's leading to a high pitch count (although Greinke gave up a lot more runners)

Thanks

 

 

[Tailgat0r76]

Somebody needs to tell the Brewers to stop swinging at everything. I can't help but feel like Volquez has thrown ~75% balls and yet we're swinging into weak groundouts and popouts.

[sdcheezhd]

Ibanez has left 5 on in 3 innings, 4 in scoring position. Thanks for the help guy.

[trwi7]

Oh Betancourt, how I loathe you.
