Kirbir's Pictures of the Week

by kirbir on Apr 10, 2011 8:00 AM CDT

Since last we met, the Brewers have gone 4-3! Whoa!

This afternoon, the Brewers finish off the Cubs in Miller Park before a much needed off-day. Then, they'll be on the way to Pittsburgh to plunder the Pirates (we hope!).

Follow the jump for pictures and more!

<a class=
Nyjer Morgan shows off his mad jumping skills last night against the Cubbies.

Prince got jealous, so naturally he gave it his best.

Can't touch this!

But, no one can deny that the best picture this week comes from our Tuesday win over the Braves, where Yovani Gallardo ~~was awesomeness incarnate~~ pitched a complete game shutout.

I like Nyjer.

He should definitely be put in CF when Hart returns.

Roenicke developed a case of Sunday Machitis.

No Plush until PH today. But, oh yes, he SHALL be called upon.

I wonder if Mr. Saito will confuse batters by throwing salt in their eyes.

What do you guys think about using Morgan as our leadoff hitter?

Weeks might it even better if he had Braun protecting him.
Same lineup as BenSheets15 just posted just with Weeks and Morgan swapped.

Thoughts?

For your health!

Not a bad idea

I don’t know if it would really make a difference, but Morgan and Weeks have roughly equivalent career OBP (Weeks is a bit higher) so it wouldn’t be a terrible move.

Since Weeks is seemingly a legit power threat at this point, I’m not sure why they still keep him in the Leadoff Spot™, though I guess he is a run scorer.

Ryan Braun: He loves it. -- Four pitchers in history with 8.5+ WAR and <250 IP seasons: Greg Maddux (age 29), Pedro Martinez (age 28), Roger Clemens (age 27), Zack Greinke (age 25).

Nyjer

Is on fire… Put him in the #1 spot and let Ricky, Braun or Prince drive him in.

He’s also very dangerous on the bases… Intensity, speed, competetiveness… I have a man crush.

Yuni, Nieves, and Nyjer are the only current Brewers I’ve seen in live action.

don't forget to brush your teeth.

but i doubt he’ll sustain it all season

weeks is more a sure bet
