Lamet can be sneaky good.

Lamet can be sneaky good.

 

Yup, I picked him late season for fantasy when he came back and got some good games out of him. Was somewhat on a pitch count back then due to the injury but should be about normal stretched now. But, in their situation it would be wise to not push him too much. He's capable of putting up a heck of a game though and has some good stuff, strikes a lot of people out which of course can be bad for us.

[ThisIsMyCrew]

Should have a rested Hader tonight. Ideally we can get him another day off with a larger lead. The last few weeks have been fun!

[KeithStone53151]

Looks like Lamet's velocity and spin rate have slowly been trending upward since his injury. His whiff rate is kinda ridiculous on his offspeed stuff...especially against RH hitters. It's absolutely critical that we pile up lefties today.

 

Grisham

Grandal

Moose - 2b

Braun

Thames

Gamel

Spang - SS

Shaw - 3b

P

 

Yes, I would be that drastic with the lineup today.

[topper09er]

Shaw should never play, period.

9. Adrian Houser ® P

[KeithStone53151]

I can understand why they went with this lineup. Clearly very lefty heavy, but obviously kept Arcia in there for defense. Man, I'll be surprised if Arcia makes any contact against this guy...even a foul ball.

[pacopete4]

Well, that's a lineup.

 

I'm in good foul ball territory with all those lefties.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

We'll see Braun in there tomorrow versus the lefty I imagine. He needs his rest days, and tonight makes more sense than tomorrow. Gotta think Grandal finally gets a breather tomorrow in the day game.

[tmwiese55]

Well as Keith said they'd want their lefties all over for this guy. Still, one would think you'd rather have Cain out their than Arcia. Just hit a ding dong yesterday. Braun off in prep for lefty tomorrow was very expected.

[willie key]

I thought gamel would get a start soon

 

Grandal legs might fall off though

[TURBO]

Nice play there by Arcia to get the PUNK!

 

Drink.

[82brewcrew82]

I feel like Thames has become adequate at first.

[82brewcrew82]

Nice play there by Arcia to get the PUNK!

 

Drink.

I'm getting too old for this to be a nightly thing.

[long ball]

I guess it's a good thing Arcia is in there tonight.

 

Houser wasn't exactly pounding the zone, but you might not have to against this line up.

[sdcheezhd]

Manny first pitch swinging, anything to stop that horrible horrible booing.

[FVBrewerFan]

Manny first pitch swinging, anything to stop that horrible horrible booing.

 

They're not booing. They're saying puuuuuunnnk

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

18 pitches for this guy in the first inning. Lots of whiffs, but at least they are working counts a bit. The earlier we can get him out, the better it appears,

[yfinn6]

He did not look comfortable catching that flyball (Spangenberg).

[TURBO]

Manny first pitch swinging, anything to stop that horrible horrible booing.

 

Horrible booing for the Punk? No such thing, he deserves all he gets.....and then some.

 

Drink.

[Underachiever]

24 pitches through two for Houser? Suteresque.

[long ball]

We'll see Braun in there tomorrow versus the lefty I imagine. He needs his rest days, and tonight makes more sense than tomorrow. Gotta think Grandal finally gets a breather tomorrow in the day game.

 

 

Yasmani Grandal won’t catch the series finale Thursday, Counsell said. Wednesday marked Grandal’s 14th consecutive start in as many days.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Apparently we're hacking tonight. I don't get how this guy has the blah numbers he has. That stuff looks legit.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

I do not like starting pitchers wincing in pain. Ever.

[pacopete4]

Not a starter.
