I am hoping today looks like this vs. a lefty:

 

Cain CF

Yelich RF

Aguilar 1B

Shaw 3B

Braun LF

Perez 2B

Pina C

Saladino SS

Anderson P

[nate82]

I am hoping today looks like this vs. a lefty:

 

Cain CF

Yelich RF

Aguilar 1B

Shaw 3B

Braun LF

Perez 2B

Pina C

Saladino SS

Anderson P

 

Replace Braun with Santana and that is not a bad lineup. Braun should be a start every once in awhile player right now in his career.

[pacopete4]

Cain

Aguilar

Braun

Shaw

Santana

Perez

Pina

Saladino

Anderson

[YelichPosse]

Kratz sighting . Smh

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Cain

Yelich

Braun

Aguilar

Shaw

Perez

Saladino

Kratz

Anderson

 

Regardless of how cold Braun is, he should be starting against ALL lefties. He has murdered lefties in his career.

[sauveb]

Kratz sighting . Smh

 

Day game after an extra inning night game. Not too much of a surprise.

Braun is going to get every start against lefties. Guaranteed.

Hope he proves to not be Bandy Light lol

I can't argue with Braun against lefties. I'd like to argue against him batting 3rd but Shaw wouldn't be a better option against a lefty, he doesn't hit lefties well.

 

I actually kind of thought we might see Shaw off and Aguilar at 3rd and Santana in but I understand not wanting to sit Shaw.

[3and2Fastball]

Braun definitely should start vs Lefties

[PinaMadness]

Cain

Yelich

Braun

Aguilar

Shaw

Perez

Saladino

Kratz

Anderson

[adambr2]

Cain has been worth 2.7 WAR this year and Shaw 2.3, wow. Those would be respectable end of season numbers.

[TURBO]

Villar back in the dog house.

 

*woof*

[pacopete4]

Villar back in the dog house.

 

*woof*

 

I’ll hold off on judgement of that until he starts sitting against RHP’s. If that starts happening again, Counsell is a moron.

[wildcat83]

Villar back in the dog house.

 

*woof*

 

Not surprising to see him sit vs a lefty.

[adambr2]

Villar back in the dog house.

 

*woof*

 

Wouldn't say that yet. He started yesterday. He almost never starts against lefties. Which is kind of weird because if you look at his career numbers he is better as a righty but more recently he's far better as a lefty.

[JohnBriggs12]

Villar had a .930 OPS as a RH hitter in 2016 with 8 HR. I still think he has more power from the right side but for whatever reason, he's not showing it.

[PinaMadness]

At least Sogard isn't starting, which we all feared after lastnight.

[adambr2]

Stop walking guys. Especially to lead off an inning. It's not a lot to ask.

[PinaMadness]

Is it just me or has the pitching given up way too many walks lately?

[topper09er]

We have allowed 3.6 BB/9 which is right at the NL average

[Eye Black]

For all that is made of the importance of pitchers and catchers spending time working together in the spring in order to attain a high level of comfort with each other, it seems strange you could pluck a guy from the another organizations minor league system and have him catch one of your top starters the next day.

[PinaMadness]

Hope it's not gonna be one of those games.

[markedman5]

Anderson has not been sharp this season. Command not nearly as good
