5/22/07 Brewers (Sheets) @ Dodgers (Wolf): 9:10 PM CDT

Oh boy. I hope and pray that this is precautionary.

[sundevil1]

Is it an avulsion????

[sheetswannabe]

seriously, I hope he's alright for his start against Peavy.

 

Whos getting their start skipped? Because we have off Thursday. So Sheets should be pitching monday.

[Oldcity]

Hmm hope that heals up. Another nice start for Sheets.

[rluzinski]

Sheets won't pitch again this year.

[bobskube]

Great...a blister.

 

That usually is a 15 day stint unless he Krazy Glue's it. Ask Josh Beckett.

[thablingster]

Aces don't get blisters, this is why Sheets isn't an ace.

 

Who do we see here, CV the younger? Spurling? Please no Homer Me Elmer.

[DHonks]

Well, the good news is that if Ben has to miss a start, we have Villanueva available, and also Gallardo would be in line to throw that day.

[sheetswannabe]

SPURLING IN A CLOSE GAME??

[bullox]

Puke.

[BrewCrewForever]

Rluz you meant to make that blue right?

 

Man he was pitching very well tonight,

 

Think the blister will affect his next start or should he be fine?

[bucksman4]

Gallardo time!!!

[sheetswannabe]

Blisters at most can cost you (usually) a start.

[bucks2281]

Should we immediately assume that a blister would send Sheets on the 15-day DL?

[Trowekamp]

So when do we have to get off of Spurling's back? When his ERA drops below 2?

 

Full disclosure.. I have been hammering him all season so I would be first in the crow eating line.

[thablingster]

We've got the guys we want up in the 8th. Lets get a run, or two, or six, whatever. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Dare I say Spurling has been very good as of late. Makes me forget all about Aquino.

[DHonks]

a blister is usually a 3-10 day treatment. However, if a pitcher puts more pressure on the seams for some reason, it can be a 15 day deal. I don't think they would DL Ben. If they called up Yo, it would be for 1 start, and likely would include demoting someone else (that way Ben is elligible after missing 1 start, not 2-3)

[DougJones43]

A blister?? Man, why didn't Sheets work out more during the offseason?... http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[sheetswannabe]

Makes me forget all about Aquino.

 

If I remember correctly, Aquinblow was doing good until those 2 bad games.

[Team Canada]

Hey, nice job Spurling.

[BrewCrewForever]

So at most he misses his next start? That wouldn't be the end of the world, but hopefully its fine by then and he can go. Id love to see Sheets make every start he is supposed to for a entire season.

 

This would only add a whole lot of fuel to the fire for the haters.

[pitchleague]

depending on the severity of the blister (assuming that's what it is) it could be only 1 start. But he's got to let the thing heal completely. If he tries to pitch too soon, the new skin is just going to get irritated and re-blister and start the cycle all over again. A good week without touching the baseball would do the trick and we, technically, have the "luxury" of doing so, what with Carlos V or even Gallardo or Dessens,

[thablingster]

Ugh. I hate facing Broxton.
