That is the big bopper line-up for sure! I absolutely hate Thames in the OF, but what can be done? Either Jesus sits so he plays 1B, or he is in the OF. No Braun, good guy to hit off the bench for sure.

 

Let's get 'em!

I like the idea of opening with the better hitters, though I generally disagree with benching Arcia right now. He's seeing the ball well right now and should be getting semi-regular atbats considering how valuable he is defensively.

[PinaMadness]

This is a huge series with a fellow wild card contender. It's imperative to take at least two this weekend. Let's just hope a game like yesterday isn't a springboard to another late summer freefall.

[NievesNoNO]

This is the lineup I've been waiting for. Hoping for a good series. To the point where they're needing to win the majority of the remaining series. This is a big one a solid test after a disappointing Padres series.

[Boomer5]

I saw Atlanta has 9 top 100 prospects. Now that’s a rebuild. Wow.

[wildcat83]

Would be nice to get some help from the Nats, no such luck today.

Yeah its impressive. 9 top 100 prospects and a very talented and young lineup. Reminds me of the 2015 Cubs.

[PinaMadness]

From Lepay to Coshun. Oy. Who's next in line, the Boom Goes the Dynamite guy?

[jonescm128]

Even though he is producing, Cain hasn't hit a HR since June 13th. Crazy for such a talented hitter.

I just keep expecting him to drop a Pizza Ranch promo

[jonescm128]

A nice quick inning from Gausman. I cringe thinking about how many pitches Peralta is going to throw in the first. His average has to be in the mid to high 20s.

[PinaMadness]

Even though he is producing, Cain hasn't hit a HR since June 13th. Crazy for such a talented hitter.

Cain's contract could turn into another Braun. Giving a five year $80 mil contract to a 32 year old is risky.

I hope he's got some Torii Hunter like genes where he can play til 40 and still be productive

[jonescm128]

First walk for Albies in over a month...

 

Also, it says he is 5'8" but he can't be more than 5'6" his bat looks as big as him

[Boomer5]

That was Schoops ball.

[PinaMadness]

Brewers doing Brewers things. Peralta should've never chased after that ball otherwise either Pina or Moose catch that.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Peralta needs to get out of the way on that.

[jonescm128]

maybe Schoop will go off tonight...he has been watching Gausman pitch for the past few years so I am sure he is familiar with his stuff.

[PinaMadness]

This could be another 4-5 inning start for Peralta.

[PinaMadness]

How did Camargo get a piece of that for a double? Gonna be one of those games?

[jonescm128]

Typical Peralta first inning. 25+ pitches and a couple runs given up.

[jason21nl]

Man this is fun...

[jonescm128]

Just what we need!

[BruisedCrew]

Just what the Brewers needed...another short start from Peralta.
