7-5-2004: Cubs (Clement) @ Brewers (Sheets)

Then maybe Jenkins takes a pitch or two before grounding out to the right side of the infield...

Talking about pitch counts, Ben looks to only have one more inning.

[ja002h]

WHy does he swing at the low + inside ones EVERY TIME??!!!

 

Pathetic.

[badgerfan.tgf]

Stop swinging at pitches in the dirt!!!

No way, when Ben is on like this, Ned always gets him to 120 or so, he will go through 7 for sure, if he keeps up the pace he is on.

So Yost is going to leave Sheets in, but Dusty is going to take Zambrano out?

[ja002h]

We're not worthy! We're not worthy!!

[SJgunny]

It is very hard to watch these guys sometimes they swing at the bad pitches and leave the good ones go right down the middle. And the only one that looks like he is hitting for just base hits is Overbay. the rest seem to be swinging as hard as they can. If we had a team of Overbays we would win more. sorry just frustrated by the game sheets is pitching awesome and the offense is down right offensive lets go crew pick up Sheets and win this game.

[ja002h]

What game's Zambrano pitching?

[jmon482]

we are not worthy ben.....we are not worthy http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/happy.gif

99 pitches 11 k's not a bad day I hope they leave him in another inning!

[jmon482]

lol ja002h, that is really, really weird

[ja002h]

LOL. That happened to me + someone else a few weeks ago. SPoooooky...

[ja002h]

Nice eye Ben. If only everyone could take pitches like you

(Geoff, I'm looking at you)

So how many pitches will Clement throw today? 120? 140? 160?

 

Closest wins a Dusty Baker bobblehead.

So pretty Ginter.

[mikerollins]

Keith "rally killer" ginter

 

UGH!

[madjeff66]

Adams better be up only in case of a PH situation in this inning. 115 or so pitches is not too many for your ace in the biggest game of the season. (That's what Ben projects to through 7)

[packfan79]

Is that 7 lob today!! This is getting really old!

[ja002h]

Helms!! It's OUTSIDE, for crying out loud!!

Sheesh.

"If we had a team of Overbays we would win more."

 

A rugged claim, my friend.

[batman]

Before everyone gets too excited about our offensive struggles today, keep in mind that opposing batters are hitting .220/.294/.320 against Matt Clement this season. That's a 615 OPS. By comparison, Big Ben has allowed an opponent OPS of 590. Sheets is fourth in the NL, Clement is fifth.

 

The Brewers have done an admirable job of running up Clement's pitch count. He's tired, and so we'll either face him at less than 100% or a middle reliever in the seventh. That's a job well done.

 

EDIT: Just to further demonstrate the point, it looks like Mike Wuertz is going to pitch the seventh. He is allowing an opponent OPS of 1008.

Sit DOWN, Barrett.

[squarepusher]

Ben Sheets is horrible.

[ja002h]

And by horrible you mean bad, sick, unreal.
