I think they should've put Byrd in RF and Campana in CF. Campana has no arm.

Mentioned that earlier, really seems a lazy move by Quade to just put Campana in RF. Bryd has played some right as well I believe.

Nevermind. Making statements when you're 25 minutes behind the game FTL.

Quade looking pretty smart right now with Byrd in center given the two throws that Byrd has had to make.

Barney with another extra base hit because the Brewers OF were cheating too far in.

Yes Campana scored the run practically single handedly, but as we just saw driving the ball into the ground can only get you so far. Still like the idea of Campana batting 9th.

I think it is more a case of the manager being rewarded for making the wrong move, but felt it had to be said in the interest of fairness.

I think i would have also put Campana in CF and Byrd in RF. CF usually dont throw guys out at home anyways cause of long throw while RF have a chance. So to me having a weak arm CF dont hurt. On long throws just make it a double cut

Second leadoff hitter though where the fact that he can't get on base wouldn't hurt nearly as bad? Just moves the guy batting in front of the pitcher up a spot.

That is why both I, Rice Cube, and most everyone else was surprised that given the 3 starting OF that Byrd was in center with Campana in right. I was merely pointing out so far the CF has been the one that has had to make the big throws, and so it has to be said that so far Quade looks smart for going against the grain. Again probably a case of being right in spite of himself, but still had to be said.

Still takes the bat out of the 7 hole. Soriano usually batting in 7 hole. Could u imagine if pitcher behind him. Teams would never throw him a strike and we all know he would chase everything. Only batter i would stick in 7 hole in front of pitcher would be Soto cause he seemed to do really well in 8 hole.

Hypothetically if we were taking Soriano out of the lineup for Campana, which I am not advocating. I think this lineup wouldn't be bad:
SS Castro
RF Colvin
3B Ramirez
1B Pena
CF Byrd
C Soto
2B Barney
P
LF Campana

bringing up something not about this game:
A-Ram said he wouldnt accept trade until family moves back home which is rumored around AUG 10th. If your a player would u allow 10 days keep you away from being in a pennat race? His excuse was if he single he wouldnt mine living in hotel room but dont want his family doing so . If it was me i would tell my family to leave 10 days earlier to go home so i can be in a pennant race.
