[topper09er]

Who is starting the other game? I assume this is a split squad

[dlk9s]

I was about to say that looked like a Spring Training lineup.

[AZBrewCrew]

Getting a head start on the ST lineups. Braun is the only starter that was on the opening day lineup.

[TURBO]

why?

 

If I paid good money to go to this game, I'd be angry at this line-up.

 

ridiculous.

 

(probably means they score at least 8 runs tonight though)

[AZBrewCrew]

Sounds like Yo wont be pitching tomorrow either.

[hawing]

There was one Sunday game this season with a major Nashville vibe, and this lineup reminds me of it. I figured this would happen eventually, and I don't want to begrudge the bench players their opportunities, but it's kind of a bummer.

 

And the probable pitcher for Wednesday (our next/last game of 2012) is now TBA? If it's Livan, I might take a walk around the concourse until he's out of the game. I'd think tonight has plenty of potential for Johnny Wholestaff status as it is.

[topper09er]

If Kotsay is going to be a major league manager he should have refused to start in CF in the NLCS and just retired as soon as he saw that penciled into the lineup.

[TURBO]

It really seems like a kick in the pants to the loyal fans at the game tonight.

 

No playoff chances, yet they are still at the ballpark, showing their support.

 

How do we repay them, by starting a minor league team, makes no sense.

[TURBO]

ahhhhhh Sophia....

BA made it sound like Lucroy and Ramirez will be back in lineup tomorrow.

[AZBrewCrew]

Maldonado SMASH!!!!!

[TURBO]

I hope Tyler can go 5 innings for the win!

[rluzinski]

Do the Brewers consider trading Maldonado this off season? Elite defensive catcher who's hit pretty damn good in 230 Ab this year? With Lucroy signed long term, have to entertain offers at least.

[TURBO]

51 pitches for Thornburg and he comes out....damn.

 

Seriously, 1 more inning for a guy who isn't even close to laboring.

 

Would have loved for him to get the win.

[sauveb]

If that was Parra's final outing as a Brewer it sure was fitting.

[TURBO]

Hopefully, this is Loe's last outing as a Brewer too...

[Bombers]

Perfect ending for both of those clowns ... Please Doug - let em both go

[pebadger]

I'm guessing you don't even have to ask nicely.

[sdcheezhd]

Bob Scanlan doing color for the Pads mentioned that Parra looked like a guy who was just waiting to get beat. Said also that looking at the game logs Parra is either on or he's off - I think part of Parra's problem is that Roenicke always leaves him in too long when he's off (usually b/c he's playing the lefty lefty matchups) and pulls him too soon when he's on (like in a couple extra inning games early on).

[topper09er]

Would be nice for a Gomez BB or infield hit so Braun can get a R3 less than 2 out chance

[topper09er]

That K may cost Brauny some black ink

[BradWI]

Well that was his chance. Tough to see him winning the RBI title now.

[brewmann04]

Parra has got to go he has the deer in the headlights look. I also hope Loe is in another uniform changes need to be made.

[brewmann04]

Braunie pressing and hurt maybe tomorrow he gets the day off.
