This batting the pitcher 8th has to stop. IT. IS. STUPID!

[HighLifeandPeanuts]

McLung's warming up just in case Sheets bats this inning - they pinch hit for him

[Blancofan1]

does Benny stay in the game here with McClung up? does anyone have quick access to his pitch count?

[SeriesFinale]

Nice, great job stretching that out Corey Hustle

 

Well, at least Sheeter will still be in

[HurricaneBraun]

Thank You Billy!

[hurricanecrush]

This doesn't even look like the same team that I've been watching for the last couple of weeks. Their approach has changed overnight.

 

Hill!!!Is

 

McClung warming up in case they have to PH for Sheets? I sure hope Sheets is okay.

[bucks2281]

Extra effort = an extra run

 

The Brewers are close to eclipsing their run total from the entire Marlins series...

[And That]

We scored in that series?

HA HA...Good one Brian..."And Ben...(optimistically)makes contact again!"

[mastershake76]

Huh. Sent sheets up there to hack. Now watch him pitch to one guy and give way to McClung.

[SeriesFinale]

OK, fingers crossed we can actually hold on to a lead now

I was just coming to say the same exact thing. That was hilarious how pumped he was

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It worked earlier in the month. Nobody was complaining when Kendall was red hot.

 

[Dustin Block]

Huh. Sent sheets up there to hack. Now watch him pitch to one guy and give way to McClung.

Either that or Yost will pull a Gallardo and throw Sheets for 120 pitches, because, you know, it's not like he's been injured lately.

I would have to agree. Just because LaRussa does it does not mean its automatically a good idea. If it did, you would see more managers knocking down a fifth of Jack every night before driving home for the evening.

So how many times do you want to walk Ramirez Ben?

[And That]

Sheets has walked 6 guys and Aramis Ramirez has walked 3 times. Bizarro world.

[SeriesFinale]

Kaspar and Brenly keep trying to build this up as a bigger, "more important" series for the Brewers than the Cubs

 

Come on guys

NO KIDDING...it is still April for crying out loud

[iluvlamp]

dlk...Wasn't me. I don't like it. Never will.

[mastershake76]

That's enough walks now, Ben, okay? Kyle, I'm seriously.

[iluvlamp]

Oh come on.

[hurricanecrush]

Sheets just can't get a call on the outside corner.

[trwi7]

The bottom of the order is owning Sheets.

this strike zone is tiny.........ball 1 and 3 to Derosa were both strikes
