7/30/06: Reds (Harang) at Brewers (Sheets), 1:05pm CDT

Thats a Big K.

 

Getting to face the pitcher.

[Lil Dummy]

Why not let Sheets throw some sliders to the #8 guy? Nothing up in the zone, but give him an opportunity to chase something...

[sheethead]

I don't think its a good idea for a Brewer pitcher to issue an IBB to get to the pitcher, aren't opposing pitchers batting around .799 against the Crew this year?

[tomwopat]

KKKK

[fondybrewfan]

That was a nice escape job, struck out the side

[wisconsinfan47]

Plus I saw him get tossed at Miller Park last year for arguing balls and strikes and he was just beligerant - he actually tossed his helmet and nailed the bat boy.

 

Now that you mention that, I think I remember. May of 2005 I believe...

 

Hopefully we don't get any of those hijinks in the couple of months that he's here.

 

Edit: Although I do remember last year in Philly the fans were booing him during a slump he was having right after his uncle died in Iraq. Ueck mentioned that if he came to Milwaukee, they'd probably give him a standing ovation given what he was going through at the time.

Sheets is on pace for 18 K's

[bucksman4]

Benny dealing. I sure am impressed with that curveball. Having not seen it in awhile, it makes you forget how truly devastating of a pitch that can be to a hitter when you've got a 93 + mph fastball in your back pocket to pull out too.

 

Let's tack on some insurance runs here. I want to see a blowout for a change.

My opinion is probably because mistakes do happen in the form of bad pitches and passed balls.

[fondybrewfan]

What is Ben's K:BB ratio? Probably like 30:1 or something, the guy is crazy good

[PeaveyFury]

Did Uke just say that JJ is headed to AZ to start a rehab program?

[saget]

2 walks this year. 1 was intentional just now

[Lil Dummy]

Good grief, Brady Clark is slooooow.

[fondybrewfan]

Adam Dunn doesnt have a chance today, 6 pitches 2 k's

[tomwopat]

KKKKKK

[B2k1121]

Man I wish Sheets would have been healthy all year, we would probably be in the race.

[fondybrewfan]

I am beginning to remember why Sheets has always been my fav player. When he is on it seems as if the hitters are completely scared of that curveball. WHen they start swingin a lot at first pitches you know hes got the curve workin

[wisconsinfan47]

I love how Sheets is pitching right now. But we're gonna need insurance. Let's not make this a typical Sheets-like offensive performance, OK?

 

6 K's over 3 innings...Sick.

[crewcrazy]

Sheets is absolutely dealing today...what's he up to, 6 K's?

 

Powell said that Sheets' K:BB ratio was 37:1 before the K to end the inning...now up to 38:1. Guess you don't count IBB in that ratio.

[bullox]

BENNNAYYYY

[brewers255]

another hit for Mench.

[Lil Dummy]

Oy, another wasted opportunity.

[TauPentaRei]

Bell, 2 AB, 2 FC, 4 LOB

[Lil Dummy]

Hey, I remember this guy Sheets. He's pretty good.
