5/17/07 Brewers (Sheets) @ Phillies (Garcia): 2:05 PM CDT

Walk Graffy to force Yost's hand. Have to PH here.

 

Well, T-bow will have a working margin.

[jloos19]

Wow! Yost going with Sheets, color me shocked.

[adambr2]

The Phillies fear Graffy.

 

Or they know Sheets is 95% likely to be an out.

[mastershake76]

sweeeet.... benny stays in

[thablingster]

I let Sheets bat here, too. Our bench options aren't exactly awe inspiring right now.

[UeckerAddict]

I guess Ben has tied a career high in hits today (i think)

[Lil Dummy]

No Turnbow. Please Jesus.

[craigharmann]

Sheets already has a hit today....he's on fire!

[funkyplaidcoat]

cue the 2nd guessing...

 

the bullpen could use this day off despite the razor thin margin.

[adambr2]

I'm not really surprised at all. With the bases juiced and less than 2 outs, I think they would have made the move to try to break the game open, but with 1st and 2nd and 2 outs, makes sense they'd stick with Benny anyway.

[olliegjw]

I think if this were a week ago, there would be a pinch hitter in there right now.

[UeckerAddict]

Full count! Come on......walk please

[madjeff66]

Sheets must feel really strong if they let him hit, you don't have him hit to face 1 or 2 batters next inning.

[UeckerAddict]

Nope. K.

[thablingster]

What a bum that Sheets is with the bat, send him down.

[jloos19]

Ooo Sheets swung at ball 4 there.

[adambr2]

Oh man. Judging by the Gameday location, which isn't always accurate, Sheets swung at Ball 4.

[UeckerAddict]

Insurance run before pitcher spot bats = keep him

 

No run= Bullpen

 

Hey! I finally guessed something right.

[mls4]

I'm also surprised we didn't see a pinch-hitter. But all our LH hitters were already in the game.

[Lil Dummy]

Tough calls for Nedley. Even if Sheets lasts the 8th, we've got a "rusty" Cordero in the 9th. Aye caramba!!

[UeckerAddict]

2 up 2 down

[SoCalBrewfan]

Apparently Yost doesn't believe in all the stuff you read about Sheets not knowing how to win.

[UeckerAddict]

That was close.

[thablingster]

You mean we can use our closer in the 8th inning?! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/embarassed.gif

Good to see the "Overly Defensive Nerds for Sheets" crew representing here today.
