6/14/07 Brewers (Sheets) @ Tigers (Durbin): 12:05 PM CDT

[ELCABALLO45]

Well Prince we don't need the fly ball now!

[SeriesFinale]

Well, I'll take the one run.

 

Keeping my fingers crossed for the Good Bullpen today

[Oldcity]

So at 97 pitches does Sheets come back out?

[wisconsinfan47]

So is the problem our hitters just aren't trying to get hits with RISP? I'm not sure what you're trying to say.

 

Of course not. We've just stranded more than our fair share in 3 out of the past 4 games and a lot of it has to do with a lack of fundamentals, which is in stark contrast to the Tigers.

 

Case in point: 5th inning - With Graffy up and 2 RISP, he strikes out swinging on 3 pitches, including a couple low and inside. In the bottom half, Sheffield battles Sheets for a great at bat and drives in a run. The difference was in the approach, and the Brewers are lacking it.

 

Balks and Wild Pitches help though http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

still plenty of time for us to score a run on a passed ball....the trifecta would be nice.

Might also have something to do with the fact that Sheffield is about eight times the hitter that Graffanino is.

Sheets trying to get through 6

[crewcrazy]

Looks like Benny's still out there...struck out Monroe after falling behind 3-1.

[SeriesFinale]

I like the idea of bring Ben in here with Monroe and Rabelo up

[Fear The Chorizo]

Mr. Monroe has been officially owned today

[wisconsinfan47]

True, but Sheets is about 8 times the pitcher that Ledezma is.

[SeriesFinale]

Thanks Ben, time to bring in Jose

[crewcrazy]

Ground rule double. Uh oh. Hopefully Ben's got enough left in the tank to get through this inning.

[Oldcity]

Uecker fakes me out again. "And this is going to get over the wall... for a ground rule double."

[SeriesFinale]

Inge has been good this series, that was big

[Oldcity]

Please throw strikes to Neifi Perez.

[Oldcity]

I have zero confidence in Shouse right now.

[mikevan1818]

O boy...buckle up folks.

[SeriesFinale]

Aw, you don't walk Neifi Perez

[Fear The Chorizo]

man, if there was ever a time not to walk the #9 hitter

[thablingster]

Shouse, please. Don't make people start calling for Thatcher and Parra again ... or start talking about how Sheets isn't an ace. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif

[SlideBernieSlide]

Sheets your all heart kid. We love you. Great game...now let the pen get this one for you.

[crewcrazy]

Wow...how does one walk Neifi Perez??

 

Not the best of outings for Benny today despite the 7 K's, but hopefully the bullpen doesn't cost him another win.

[Team Canada]

Aw, you don't walk Neifi Perez

 

 

Repeated for emphasis. It's not like he knows what to do with a bat anyway..

[jloos19]

When was the last time Shouse actually got the out he was supposed to get?
