Gomez back in lineup vs. lefty Rodriguez
No surprises once again for the Brewers. The only change from Tuesday night to Wednesday afternoon is the lefty-righty swap in center field.
With lefty Wandy Rodriguez on the mound for the Astros, speedy Carlos Gomez is back in center for the Crew. As a result, veteran Jim Edmonds gets the day off after playing the first two games of the series.
Rookie catcher Jonathan Lucroy gets bumped up ahead of Gomez as usual, whereas he typically bats behind Edmonds. The rest of the lineup remains the same:
Weeks 2B
Hart RF
Fielder 1B
Braun LF
McGehee 1B
Lucroy C
Gomez CF
Escobar SS
Bush P

Macha was asked about any differences he noticed between Fiedler batting 4th and Fielder batting 3rd. Macha thought he was walking less. This is true. His avg is down a little. He’s walking a lot less, and hitting the ball a lot harder.

mysterygirlxxxable he has donated money and raiesd awareness for many organizations and issues, such as food banks, make-a-wish, st. jude’s hospital, organizations that provide education and clean water to people in third-world countries, and the dangers of texting and driving. a portion of many things he’s sold (perfume, album, tour tickets, etc.) have also been donated. to you, a hospital visit by him may seem as a means of extra publicity, but i doubt the sick kids who have just met their idol see it as that
