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

Anyone think Sheets has a chance at the All-Star game? I made a pre-season bet that he would and I gave up hope early....but is there a chance?

[Fear The Chorizo]

At least we're getting baserunners on more often that not - more runners on means more stressful pitches for the starter.

 

If a team is only hitting .200 with runners in scoring position, i'd much rather have them hitting .200 with RISP every inning.

[craigharmann]

It's even more amazing when Estrada is patient and doesn't swing at the first pitch!

[jloos19]

Craig hacks 2-0.

[craigharmann]

I think it may be a numbers game...pretty solid chance Prince and Coco get in...maybe J.J. (and that's a big maybe) and then Sheeter? I don't know. It would be great.

At least were getting plenty of hits. If the pitching continues to be good, it's just a matter of time before this equals more runs and some more winning. While you get upset at LOB, at least were hitting. Better than games with 5 or less hits and no opportunities to score.

[B2k1121]

7 hits already

 

 

1 run

[trwi7]

7 LOB through 3.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

7 LOB now.... will the law of averages please kick in?

[Fear The Chorizo]

Almost 70 pitches for Durbin after 3 innings

I still can't get the free proxy setting thing to work. Does anybody know how to get around the blackout thing? My friend showed me how, but I just can't get it to work.

[brewerphandog]

Is it possible for the Crew's 2 out RISP average to dip below zero? Any math guys out there?

[Irish Brewer]

Ugh gotta get more runners across. Seven hits and a walk with only one run scored. Sheets looking good so far.

[craigharmann]

It sounds like Sheets is going really well...I'm following on gameday, but he's dealing. Breaking a lot of bats, it sounds.

[TeeJayh1980]

on pace for 21 LOB. Whats new.

[rluzinski]

Not all hits are created equal. If all 7 hits hadn't been singles, they would most certainly have more than 1 run.

[jloos19]

Perez has an OPS of .464 this year. That's so bad it's not even funny.

Yuck! We have pitchers with a higher OPS than that. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Here's a confidence booster...Jim just said that in the simulated game that Rickie will be hitting in, the pitcher will be.....Homer me Elmer.

[SeriesFinale]

Hats off to Granderson, that was a nice at-bat

 

I hope Counsell watched that

[thablingster]

Yeah when I heard Weeks will be having a simulated game against Elmer I laughed, lol.

[craigharmann]

Maybe the Crew should just keep Dessens on the DL to throw BP.

[Fear The Chorizo]

It's not a good effort between pitcher and catcher when the guy is dusting himself off at 2nd before the throw gets to the base.

[SeriesFinale]

That was very, shall I say, gritty, of Big Ben

[SlideBernieSlide]

Some solid ABs by the Tigers that inning...Inge, Granderson and Infante. They made Sheets work that inning. He got through it, but that was some good battling to watch.

 

Smart hitters vs. a very good pitcher
