6/14/07 Brewers (Sheets) @ Tigers (Durbin): 12:05 PM CDT

[Fear The Chorizo]

At least we're getting baserunners on more often that not - more runners on means more stressful pitches for the starter.

 

If a team is only hitting .200 with runners in scoring position, i'd much rather have them hitting .200 with RISP every inning.

Anyone think Sheets has a chance at the All-Star game? I made a pre-season bet that he would and I gave up hope early....but is there a chance?

[Team Canada]

I really like our lineup right now, especially when you sub Weeks for Counsell in a few days.

[jloos19]

Craig hacks 2-0.

[craigharmann]

I think it may be a numbers game...pretty solid chance Prince and Coco get in...maybe J.J. (and that's a big maybe) and then Sheeter? I don't know. It would be great.

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

7 LOB now.... will the law of averages please kick in?

[trwi7]

7 LOB through 3.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

[B2k1121]

7 hits already

 

 

1 run

[whynotthebrewers]

At least were getting plenty of hits. If the pitching continues to be good, it's just a matter of time before this equals more runs and some more winning. While you get upset at LOB, at least were hitting. Better than games with 5 or less hits and no opportunities to score.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Almost 70 pitches for Durbin after 3 innings

I still can't get the free proxy setting thing to work. Does anybody know how to get around the blackout thing? My friend showed me how, but I just can't get it to work.

[brewerphandog]

Is it possible for the Crew's 2 out RISP average to dip below zero? Any math guys out there?

[Irish Brewer]

Ugh gotta get more runners across. Seven hits and a walk with only one run scored. Sheets looking good so far.

[jloos19]

Perez has an OPS of .464 this year. That's so bad it's not even funny.

[rluzinski]

Not all hits are created equal. If all 7 hits hadn't been singles, they would most certainly have more than 1 run.

[TeeJayh1980]

on pace for 21 LOB. Whats new.

[craigharmann]

It sounds like Sheets is going really well...I'm following on gameday, but he's dealing. Breaking a lot of bats, it sounds.

Yuck! We have pitchers with a higher OPS than that. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif

[craigharmann]

Here's a confidence booster...Jim just said that in the simulated game that Rickie will be hitting in, the pitcher will be.....Homer me Elmer.

[thablingster]

Yeah when I heard Weeks will be having a simulated game against Elmer I laughed, lol.

[SeriesFinale]

Hats off to Granderson, that was a nice at-bat

 

I hope Counsell watched that

[craigharmann]

Maybe the Crew should just keep Dessens on the DL to throw BP.

[Fear The Chorizo]

It's not a good effort between pitcher and catcher when the guy is dusting himself off at 2nd before the throw gets to the base.

[Team Canada]

If Sheets keeps this up much longer Woogie's going to need to add a Hershiser watch to the IGT.

 

 

Also, his ERA is on track to go below 3.00 by the 6th inning.

[SeriesFinale]

That was very, shall I say, gritty, of Big Ben
