The same lineup TWO games in a row? Doesn't Matheny know that Tyler Greene hits righties better in April day games? Doesn't he know that Beltran struggles on Good Friday?
He has a lot to learn.

Braun: Brewers 'better right now than last year' - - -Goold
.....but is Braun gonna be "better" than last year ????
Offline
Curious how many 0-5, 2K, 4LOB (40% of our total for the game) days he's going to have from Holiday without moving him to 6th in the lineup...
Offline
I'd be pretty surprised if the career .315/.385/.540 hitter starts batting sixth unless they add Adrian Gonzalez, Albert Pujols and Jose Bautista.
Offline
Why it is called "Good" Friday? Didn't that guy die on a cross or something?

"Braun: Brewers 'better right now than last year' "
I agree. Wouldn't want to set off a roid rage.

Milwaukee loves their cheater.
Why didn't Freese go home on that?

Garcia is still the most fragile little lamb.

How can a guy who pitched in two World Series games five months ago give off body language like this is the first start of his major league career?

"Why didn't Freese go home on that?"
He didn't want to show up Gomez by throwing him out by 30 feet?

And the Cardinals were unable to dodge the Angel-Hernandez-behind-the-plate bullet.
I'm going to guess he gets pissed at least once today when someone questions a horrible ball/strike call.

Hey Gallardo, the Cardinals are supposed to take BP before the game!!!

The ball just soars in Milwaukee.

Ok, Jaime, don't poop the bed here.

Beltran with a walk, stolen base and a home run.
Freese with a 2-run bomb.
Please let this team figure out a way to stay reasonably healthy.

Nice play Jay

OK, this story has nothing to do with the game, but since you guys raised the topics of poop and farts, I have to share.
I was in court this morning waiting to argue a very simple motion that would have taken, at most, 5-10 minutes. The case before us was a sexual harassment case that was about to go to trial and the parties had 19 separate motions regarding evidence that would/wouldn't be admitted during the trial. For some reason, the judge wouldn't push that case to the back of the docket, so I spent my morning listening to attorneys argue over the following:
- whether or not the supervisor's alleged habit of farting in the plaintiff's presence could be considered evidence of sexual harassment.
- whether or not the supervisor's alleged habit of going into the bathroom, dropping a duece, emerging from the bathroom and triumphantly announcing the approximate length and weight of his shit to the office could be considered evidence of sexual harassment.
- whether or not the plaintiff should be allowed to present to the jury a picture found on her cell phone, which the plaintiff believed, but could not prove, had been taken by the supervisor. The picture was a giant turd in a toilet bowl.
- whether or not the plaintiff could testify, without supporting testimony from a psychiatrist or psychologist, that she believed her supervisor had a "poop fetish."
There were a variety of other topics covered. I have never before watched a group of attorneys have to work so hard to keep from breaking out into laughter in a courtroom. I nearly pulled a rib cage muscle. And the judge's face throughout was priceless.

If Freese stays healthy he might drive in 200 runs, though I predict an injury coming in the next two weeks.

Back to the game--
I realize we're only a game and a half into the season, and Furcal is another significant injury-risk, but does anyone else not miss Ryan Theriot?
BTW (this is for Windy), Freese is on pace to drive in 405 runs this season.
