Game Thread #11: Brewers (6-4) @ Oakland (8-3)

I missed the game yesterday, seeing as I was at home working on the rec room and chasing kids around, and not in the relaxing confines of my cube.  I'm not sure that would go over so hot at review time...best move on.

The Brewers face Oakland today, and I have no idea who is playing.  As soon as a lineup hits the tubes of the Internet, I'll include it below the jump.

Yost commented on how Ryan Braun is exceeding his expectations in left field.  I have only been able to watch one game on mlb.tv so far, but what I've seen of Braun in left makes me wonder what those expectations are.  The few plays I've seen Braun make have led me to believe he's a playing at the same level as Carlos Lee, except he's a little more awkward.

Oh, and speaking of poor outfield play, I bet we see Gabe Gross in right today while Corey Hart takes in a tour of the Grand Canyon.  I'd also guess it'll be Tony Gwynn in center, with Joe Dillon at 3rd.

Update [2008-3-9 14:34:26 by Marty McSuperFly]:: How embarrassing. I didn't even realize there were 2 games today. Seattle comes to Maryvale, as well. Both games at 3:05 central.
