Game Thread #149: Milwaukee (76-72) at Houston (65-84)
"You mean you can't take less. It's very easy to take more than nothing."
Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
Yovani Gallardo goes up against Matt Albers, but the real news is that the Menchkins platoon is officially dead. In a move that demonstrates Ned Yost has entirely embraced the voodoo of "hot hand" lineup composition, Joltin' Joe Dillon appears in left field, bringing his lifetime .299/.322/.448 hitting line to the second spot in the lineup. That may be only 90 plate appearances, but they tell the whole story to Ned.
2B Rickie Weeks
LF Joe Dillon
3B Ryan Braun
1B Prince Fielder
CF Corey Hart
LF Gabe Gross
C Johnny Estrada
SS J.J. Hardy
RHP Yovani Gallardo
It makes you wonder....if there is no hot hand, who starts?
