It's pretty natural to look at the bottom of a lineup and let it color your opinion of the entire lineup. The Brewers have gone with a Hairston/Betancourt/Lucroy bottom of the order for the first two games of the NLDS, and no matter how many times you see it, it makes you rethink the idea of the Brewers as a team filled with sluggers. It's not the most balanced lineup in the game.
Brewers Tack On Two More Runs, Lead 4-1
By focusing on what's wrong with the lineup, though, it's easy to forget what's right. Namely, a bunch of really, really, really good hitters. Ryan Braun hit a double with two outs in the bottom of the third, and Prince Fielder singled him home. Rickie Weeks then drove a triple over the head of Chris Young, scoring Fielder and giving the Brewers a 4-1 lead.
Braun, Fielder, and Weeks. Who’d’ve thunk?
The Diamondbacks are down against Zack Greinke, and they're already down 1-0 in the series. It's not exactly panic time yet, but it's probably time for them to shake their right leg nervously and fidget a lot.
