8/27 Brewers (Estrada) @ Cubs (Germano) 7 pm CSN

[SABR Gamer]

How is Vitters THIS bad? He is showing nothing to be optimistic about.

[davell]

I haven't watched a game in a while but I turned this one on out of sheer curiosity when I saw on gameday that BJax was up.

 

Heard Bob comment on the swing changes... as anyone noticed mechanical changes that preceded this good stretch of hitting by Jackson?

No idea on his swing, but remember Brett has some pretty insane hot and cold streaks in the minors. Looks like it's carrying over to the majors.

[Schwarber Fan]

Corey Hart is so obnoxious

[davell]

I don't think Castillo's healthy enough to be playing everyday yet or I think he would be. I'm calling Vitters first multi-hit game is tonight.

You're a dumb [expletive].

They did a side-by-side earlier in the game of his set-up and leg-kick compared to his debut game and today. Completely different. I can't be the only one that saw it.

Sveum really needs to stop batting Vitters 2nd

Castro Walk \:D/

I missed it. Awesome.

4 in his last 5 games.

I'm still glad he's hitting 2nd because he needs as many AB's as possible.

[Sosa21MVP]

Freaking kidding me.

I saw it, you're not crazy.

Manny Corpse.

Jackson's OPS is at .806 \:D/

[Sosa21MVP]

The Brewers are so annoying.

[CincyCubsFan]

Corpas never fails to [expletive] the bed each and every time he enters the game.

But, shouldn't one of your better hitters bat 2nd? I.e. Castro

If winning is your first priority, sure. If developing guys by getting them the most ABs possible is, maybe not. But then I guess they should hit him leadoff.

I'm guessing Sveum is just trying to give him the most possible protection.

They need to get more of a look at Vitters than Castro. They know Castro's a big part of things to come.
