The Brewers open the season with a 3 game series against the Yankees and Devin.

Thursday - 2:05 - Peralta vs. Rodon - ESPN
Saturday - 12:05 - Cortes vs TBA - FDSWI
Sunday - 12:35 - Civale vs. TBA - FDSWI

With the Yankees starting a lefty on Opening Day, are we about to see Vinny Capra & Isaac Collins as Opening Day starters for the Brewers?

Probably Vinny at 3rd but Turang likely will start at 2nd.

I was thinking Collins in LF, it's the only position he's played this spring. If Collins is going to be on the team as a LF only guy I'd have to think his role is to start vs lefties

I'm expecting this lineup or something close for OD:

Chourio (RF)
Yelich (LF)
Contreras (DH)
Mitchell (CF)
Hoskins (1B)
Ortiz (SS)
Turang (2B)
Capra (3B)
Haase (C)

Possible they start Haase. If I was betting I think they'd start Collins in LF, Yelich at DH, & Contreras at C. Or they could just start both Frelick & Mitchell. It'll be interesting to see which way Murph goes

Turang (2B)
Chourio (LF)
Yelich (DH)
Contreras (C)
Hoskins (1B)
Frelick (RF)
Ortiz (SS)
Capra (3B)
Mitchell (CF)

Turang leading off (especially with a lefty starting) is

Eh, whatever. Bet on the opening day starter having some nerves and walking him.

Would be really nice to have a step forward from both Frelick and Mitchell.

Durbin being this years Ortiz and playing himself into at bats would be great as well. I’m not too high on the Capra/Dunn platoon but I’d love to be wrong.

Yeli rockin' the Uecker Plaid

Such a strange-looking photo, considering Jackson is only 5'11.

Chourio (LF)
Yelich (DH)
Contreras (C)
Hoskins (1B)
Frelick (RF)
Ortiz (SS)
Mitchell (CF)
Capra (3B)
Turang (2B)

I know lineups are vastly overrated but batting Frelick in the 5 spot against a lefty is interesting

Must win.

12(0) - (10)4

Still hurts a little to not see Willy Adames in there.

Flipping Frelick and Mitchell seems obvious to me (vs lefty or righty)

Cool to see Rock on the broadcast with Buck and Girardi.
