I'm surprised, plenty more boos then cheers for Lee. I don't agree with that at all. I thought there would be a few boos but mostly cheers. Im a little dissapointed.

[RyDogg66]

Is that an earned run for Sheets?

[And That]

Is that an earned run for Sheets?

 

Yes, it should be.

[giffted1]

Why boo Carlos?

 

I know that many of us can't stand idiot cubs fans, but this shows that many of our fellow Brewer fans aren't much better.

[DHonks]

I like it when Sheets shows the heater a lot. Although man, his curve didn't have much bite to it in the first. Almost looked like his changeup.

 

Can't fault Estrada on those, although with Sheets on the mound it's almost not worth it to even think of throwing.

[DannoMac21]

Albers can't find the zone.

[And That]

Keep doing that, Albers. That right there.

[DannoMac21]

BILLYYYYYYY

[BrewCrewForever]

Man that is a nice swing when he doesn't try to kill the ball and pull it. That a boy Billy.

[And That]

C'mon, make Albers throw another strike before you swing.

[crewcrazy]

Only one run there, but at least they're making Albers work. When's the last time the team scored a run for Sheets in the first inning?? (Probably opening day, but it still seems weird to get runs in the first inning of a Sheets start).

[And That]

You don't see a three-pitch strikeout where all are called strikes too often.

[DHonks]

I'm curious what that pitch was. It was off the plate. But Bill thought it was a curve. Only it didn't break, and the gun showed 90. Ben doesn't throw anything 90, unless maybe he tried the 2-seamer. Radar Gun error? I have no idea

[And That]

2 innings, 5 baserunners, 1 run. I know the odds are for us long-term, but it sure is a little frustrating in the short-term.

[jlau20]

I'm indifferent on the Carlos situation...

 

Boo if you want I suppose...the guy did turn down a decently fair offer...but it turned out to be a good move on his part, I don't know too many people that would take 48 million over 100 million. I'm going on Sunday and don't intend to boo him.

 

I don't know that I would cheer either though, he put up good numbers in Milwaukee, but his stay was so short and I can't say I miss him that much because of it.

 

Oh well, I think it's indifference for me on this one.

[tyguy20204]

Estrada and Hardy both with well hit balls directly at the right fielder.

[BrewCrewForever]

Yeah that sucks, hopefully soon those will find the ground and drop in for hits.

[BrewCrewForever]

"Bill Hall can Steal 1st" sign. That was sweet.

[jloos19]

Geez, Estrada has a HORRIBLE arm.

[And That]

Geez, Estrada has a HORRIBLE arm.

 

To be fair, Sheets' delivery takes a cab ride before the ball gets to home.

[NormanBoobie]

Sheets with the Ks! I hope this becomes a trend - he's been making me the most uneasy out of all our pitchers so far.

[BrewCrewForever]

I don't think I can sit through another Sheets pitched game where he pitches good and we can get him any run support, will this ever change? Come on guys.

[Getpaddled]

how many K's so far for Sheets?

[Ennder]

Obviously Weeks K'd there because Sheets isn't a winner.
