Brewers' first baseman Lyle Overbay faces another thrilling matchup with SP Aaron Harang. Thankfully it's 2004 and we have Prince Fielder mashing in the minors...

That Rickie Weeks kid is a rising star I tell ya.

[RobDeer 45]

Day baseball indeed!!!! Very excited for this game and hope we can get the bats going a bit here. I'd love a good final game and a series win.

 

I don't think I like this straight platoon at 1B. I could see it in the opener, but is it necessary with Harang on the mound??? Just Ron playing some games, trying to put guys in positions they can succeed....

Who would you rather have: Prince Fielder or Jeff Francoeur?

 

Here's a heated debate about the subject:

Segura already getting a day off.... with a day off tomorrow. If he's not healthy he should've started the season on the DL.

[RobDeer 45]

Maybe I'm just not seeing it, but how do I do the audio overlay on MLB.tv? I have the premium package and I don't see it where I used to. Hmmmm.

[jjkoestler]

Nothing finer than having the week off work for the first week of the season. Time for a series win vs ATL.

[trwi7]

It's nice to see a Sunday lineup on a Wednesday.

I'm worried this is something that will linger for him. Hopefully not. But if he needs a couple of weeks to regain strength, they should just DL him for a bit. I'd rather him miss two weeks, and come back at 100%, than have him be 80-90% all year.

[jerichoholicninja]

Matt K-arza on the mound today.

[jjkoestler]

Nice start for Garza. 4ks in 2 IP.

[folly412]

I believe the answer to the trivia question is on the mound today. That was not a fun game.

[liveforoctober]

Day off tomorrow and we are already getting Segura/Khrush out of the lineup? Interesting...

[RobDeer 45]

Yes Garza looking good. A little pumped up, but looking good.

[torts]

3 innings, 30 pitches, thats awesome

[reillymcshane]

We've managed to turn Harang into an all star for a day.

[TURBO]

It's nice to see a Sunday lineup on a Wednesday.

 

Feels like we are happy to get one win, no need to go for 2...

 

LOL at the comment: "Overbay, the slick fielding 1B"

[Fear The Chorizo]

not able to watch the game, but are there any shadow/sunlight issues going on right now? seems like neither team could hit their way out of a wet paper bag right now.

[fondybrewfan]

Well this game is going to get done in about 2 hours

I'm sure the shadows are creeping, but I can't hear Rock to be sure.

[trwi7]

Bill blaming the shadows when there are no shadows. Amazing.

[Fear The Chorizo]

I just remember those get away games with Sheets on the hill and an atrocious starting lineup winning tons of games, because the sun/shadows set up in a way that hitters couldn't pick up rotation and had no chance laying off Sheets' curveball. Every one of those games had the potential for a no-no or a 15+ K outing, it seemed.

 

looking at some of the images, that isn't the case today - it's as simple as nobody can hit right now.

[TheCrew07]

I've always liked Garza as a pitcher, too bad we couldn't find a way to get him before a FA contract.

[Taylor Blue]

Who had the more impressive walk, Freeman or Overbay?
