8/17/2006 Brewers (Sheets) vs. Astros (Hirsh) 7:05 CT

[And That]

Damien Miller being up with the bases loaded gives me a headache.

[rluzinski]

Bell gets an RBI without ever taking the bat off the shoulder. Sounds good to me.

[gobrew23]

Damian is due...fingers crossed.

 

EDIT: Wow, Moeller-esque.

[Team Canada]

Darn it Miller!

[And That]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[rluzinski]

And then of course a double play http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif Can't they just strike out, like the good ol' days?

[brewers255]

unreal. Start Rivera.

[Oldcity]

God. They couldn't have pinch hit for Miller? As someone said before, he's been Moeller-bad. Ugh!

[B2k1121]

Miller sucks

[And That]

This team sucks.

[bucksman4]

Good point. A good manager would be riding the player with the hot bat (Rivera). Instead he isn't playing the guy who's "producing" as Ned likes to think he does as manager.

[bklynbrewcrew]

Miller hits about as well as Brady Clark nowadays.

[Oldcity]

Good to see the Astros right back at it.

[thablingster]

I think Ned wore out Damian early in the season when he didn't want to play slow roller Moeller, he's hitting right around .200 since the ASB.

[Mass Haas]

Memo to Mike Maddux:

 

Teach Ben Sheets to waste 0-2 pitches...

[bklynbrewcrew]

Sheets stuff is subpar tonight. Does anyone know how hard he is throwing tonight. Doesnt look like mid 90s thats for sure.

He's been high 80's most of the night. I think the highest he has hit is 92.

[bklynbrewcrew]

I give up on this team!

[And That]

I've watched the Tigers play against the Twins on multiple occasions and they just seem to have the extra bit on the field the Brewers don't.

 

Prime example:

 

The Twins were down by one, runners on 1st and 3rd with one out. Zumaya was pitching to Kubel, I believe. Zumaya goes down 2-0 against Jason, but then makes a very good pitch... the ball is hit right to Guillen at short, and he initiates a Taylor-made double play.

 

This is the stuff that happens to good teams.

 

With the Brewers... Damian Miller grounds into double plays.

[Oldcity]

It could also be that Miller's 36 and slowing down.

 

Gosh, I wish they'd stop mentioning the slump that Berkman's in. How long til that burns us?

[thablingster]

May as well leave Sheets on the mound now to absorb a Marquis to save the bullpen, lol.

[iluvlamp]

Besides our bullpen being lights out last night...does Sheets really need to eat these innings................I smell TUrnbow

 

Another hat tip to Ned...Let's go T-Blow

[Team Canada]

Yeaaah, so Sheets doesn't have it tonight. Maybe we should think about going to the bullpen at some point...

 

 

How long til that burns us?

 

Well done.

[Oldcity]

Believe it or not, I typed that before gamecast told me hit hit a homer. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

[Mass Haas]

I can't believe they sucked me in for another night.
