[long ball]

Clayton Richard isn't exactly the type of lefty the Brewers need to evacuate all lefties out of the line up for so it will be interesting to see what Counsell does with the line up.

 

My prediction:

 

Cain CF

Yelich RF

Aguilar 1b

Braun LF

Shaw 3b

Schoop 2b

Pina C

Arcia SS

Anderson P

They need to drop Aguilar from that three spot until he heats up. I’d prefer Braun there, honestly. The man is on a tear.

You may hate it, but I doubt it it has anything to do with Jesus'. That Bryce Harper guy seems to be doing pretty well since the homerun derby.

3 down with 47 to go. Time start getting serious.

3 games in the loss column which is all that matters. You can make up wins you can’t make up loses.

They are both going to play 162 in the end.

I feel like Counsell and Stearns want to make sure we all know that we were wrong when we said the Moustakas trade and Shaw move to 2nd basically meant for better or worse we needed to rely on Arcia at SS every day now.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Perez is good vs lefties, so it sorta makes sense.

most predictable roster move of the season lol

[tmwiese55]

Yea call me surprised with the lack of Arcia playing time but I'm fine with it and Perez has been hitting lately so why not. How about an easy 6-2 win. No end of game sweating.

[Cirilloing]

Heading to my first Brewer game in 6 years tonight. Hope we get a good one.

[wibadgers23]

Facing a horrible team and a horrible pitcher. These are the types of games we lose 6-1. Hopefully the offense gets going early and we can put these guys away in the first few innings.

[PinaMadness]

Oh good, Lepay is back.

[xisxisxis]

Who will be tonight's Most Valuable Pineapple?

[adambr2]

All 5 of those pitches hit the zone.

[TexasCheesehead]

Why does Counsell continue to let the two coldest hitters on our team bat 3-4.

[treego14]

Reverse psychology?
