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

I don't think I have mentioned how glad I am to see Sheeter back. Something to look forward to every five games. 68 pitches thru 6 with 8 K's, stellar!!

[sheetswannabe]

Once again, the only chance Sheeter has at the win is when we have 1 run and the opposing team had 0.

If someone has the freetime can you find me 2 other outfielders that make 5 million or more that have as many at bats as geoff that are hitting worse than 260. and have less than 10 homers. I would appreciate it!!!!!!!!!!!

[JoeH33]

Right now I'm just scared that Sheets will pitch 8 scoreless innings, only to have Turnbow blow it in the 9th again. That said, I'm looking for Sheets to have a quick 7th or 8th and finish this out himself.

[BrewersFever]

Bad Chad wishes he was like Mike

[fondybrewfan]

Comn Ben get the bunt down, time to help yourself

[JoeH33]

We're paying $8M a year for Jenks and not even getting the production NY is getting out of Melky Cabrera.

Bobby Abreu's making about $14 million and has 8 HR this year...at least Jenks isn't that overpaid. Not sure about BA, though. Others inclue J.D. Drew ($11.4 million, 10 HR), and Garrett Anderson ($10.75 million, 8 HR).

 

Another blown opportunity...swing the bat, Brady!

[fondybrewfan]

We didnt need a K there, comn Graffy

[fondybrewfan]

oops 3 outs

[sheethead]

Team LOB = 9 through 6 innings. Why do I get the feeling that one run is not enough to win today?

 

Oh yeah, !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"We're paying $8M a year for Melky Cabrera"

 

Melky Cabrera can run - I wish the Brewers had someone in their lineup who could steal a base.

[cruiserx43]

Brady I like you, however you need to be swinging at anything close on 0-2, don't let the ump make that decision for you.

[prince of roy]

Yeah but abreu leads the majors in OBP so i wouldnt say he is overpayed just not hitting the long ball. Melky Cabrera is getting 8 million what?

Abreu does have a .427 OPB and has stolen 20 bases this year. Sure he's over paid, but at least he's producing good numbers.

[sheetswannabe]

HAHAHA!

[BrewersFever]

Nicely done Graffy

[sheetswannabe]

Looked like Dave Burba and Ruben Q running on the DP. Sheets is at 81 pitches. CG anyone?

[Lil Dummy]

Oh man. It was seeing eye, but that was absolutely a base hit if the hit and run isn't on. Big break.

[crewcrazy]

Wasn't aware of the Abreu OBP number...Abreu just popped into my mind since Powell mentioned the NYY trade earlier in the game.

[Ennder]

Garret Anderson - $10M, 9 HR, .721 OPS

Brian Giles - $8M, 7 HR, .750 OPS

Trot Nixon - $7.5M, 7 HR, .827 OPS

Steve Finley - $7M, 5 HR, .730 OPS

 

Some of those guys dont' quite have Jenkins AB's but they all are 300+ PA so are reasonably close.

[B2k1121]

Let's get some runs

[B2k1121]

Mench, Mench, Mench, Mench

[PeaveyFury]

Yeah, this Mench guy sucks.

[NastyTwig]

I guess he's alright.
