Purely in the interests of the Brewers
I’ve replaced Wandy with Wangy.

If we can get to their bullpen for at least 2-3 innings
If wandy keeps pitching we are in trouble

Very True
But at least he was within 10 feet of the ball. Soriano would’ve been farther away than the CFer.

Yoga's last 3 starts have been underwhelming
A short outing against the Cubs, the makings of a poor outing against the Cardinals and now a poor outing against the Astros. I suppose it’s still too early to get worried, because the Cubs and Cardinals are good teams.

McGehee in the lineup
It’s not because of that (BA’s odd logic) that Rivera is more likely to PH here. It’s because Rivera is the only RH on the bench.
