8/3/08 Brewers (Sheets) at Braves (Campillo): 12:35 PM CDT

they have only batted twice this game

 

True, but I get the feeling this is going to be a long, frustrating game, especially w/ Sheets throwing so many pitches.

I get that feeling too

I think it's time to admit that Campillo is a pretty good pitcher. The Braves are are definitely in rebuilding mode, but it looks like they have a couple good young pitchers for the future in Campillo and Jurrjens.

craig counsell jumpstartin the offense. can you say get up get up get outta here??

Glad we start to get some days off coming up here...Ben could use and extra day or two off. He's really laboring.

[zelouswheeler4prez]

what other nl left fielder has been as good as ryan braun consistently?

[Oldcity]

To me this is a big concern. Sheets hasn't had his control in five weeks.

[yount19.u]

A badly needed double play. Thank God Weeks has the day off http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[jason21nl]

have the good part of the order coming up lets gets a couple

To me this is a big concern. Sheets hasn't had his control in five weeks.

 

I agree Stevo. This is start #22...he hasn't made over 24 since 2004. He hasn't had an extra day off in awhile and pitched on short rest after the all-star game. I wonder if he's just tired. His nagging injuries did keep his arm fresh the last couple years.

[dlk9s]

It would be nice if both pitchers could get that location called a strike.

He got the first hit of the game.

 

[yount19.u]

Ok Prince, now you just need to steal 3rd and home to get us that first run.

[zelouswheeler4prez]

i realize that, i was thinking he might hit for the cycle today

[jason21nl]

This is frustrating

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Campillo is the type of guy that gives the Brewers fits. Changes speeds and nibbles...they just don't have the patience to deal with guys like this.

[jason21nl]

sweet, getting caught stealing at 3rd with no outs is not good baseball

[crewcrazy]

Thanks for making the first out at third, Braves...turns out to be a pretty easy inning for Benny.

[yount19.u]

Nice job Ben. Now let's see how much love the offense has for you.

[thablingster]

I'm not sure if it is more painful for me to watch us try and hit Campillo or Kevin Slowey.

[crewcrazy]

Kapler goes down swinging on a logo-on-the-helmet high fastball...not even Cameron or Hall would've swung at that garbage. Ugh.

[jason21nl]

this is getting pretty pathetic

[yount19.u]

Skaalen has done a nice job of getting his hitters to adjust to Campillo's style.....NOT!

[Oldcity]

Kapler really sucks. His first month was smoke and mirrors. How can Doug Melvin say the team is going for it and then keep Kapler as the FOURTH outfielder? They needed a lefty-hitting guy to be the fourth outfielder.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

I don't mind that...let Campillo sit out in that heat a little.

[crewcrazy]

Well, I suppose it would be a little bit too much to ask to sweep three straight road series. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif
