"All the little extras, like chocolate chip cookies baked on board." - Southwest Airline's commercial.

 

Oh goody, you mean that I can eat fresh cookies on their flights? That's a deal breaker for me.

[owbc]

I vote for bringing Sheets out and seeing if he can mow them down again, but have someone warming right away and pull him at 105 pitches or so.

[pitchleague]

for the record, okay, I'll say Sheets starts the 8th inning on the mound, unless we break out like 7 runs this inning or something.

[Gobias Industries]

Nice random shot of Weeks' right leg and then hands.

I'm pretty sure that this fill in camera guy is fascinated by the way Weeks waggles his bat. He always focuses on it.

[sheetswannabe]

but have someone warming right away and pull him at 105 pitches or so.

 

You would send Sheets out for 5 pitches?

[sheetswannabe]

Hall just missed another one... This guys hittin hard..

 

Nice to hear Cameron is doing well.. a homer today?

[owbc]

Haha, I thought he was around 95.

I just don't think he should go over 110.

[Ennder]

I didn't like that he finished the last game but I understood the reasoning. He should not come out for the 8th inning in this game, not with a 3 run lead and a relatively fresh bullpen.

[sheetswannabe]

Maybe Benny will get a 3 pitch inning, and go for the CG? hahha longshot

[Gobias Industries]

All I know is the rule I was always taught is never make the first or third out at 3B. If I remember correctly that was the second out and with the bottom of the order up that was actually a very good idea to attempt at that time...

 

To think otherwise is clearly not thinking.

If Johnny Estrada is catching for the Mets, sure run on that. But Schneider, one of the best, is throwing Braun out a majority of the time.

[southpaw121505]

It doesn't matter to me. If I'm Ned I ask him if he wants to/can go one more inning. If he says yes send him out, if not go to Mota. If he does go out for the 8th have somebody warmed up just in case.

 

well of course hes going to say he can go. my point is coming off of a complete game, why push it here.

 

 

anyone else not interested in seeing braun and hall go for base hit bunts? hart ok, not those guys. braun, get your bat going. hall, keep your bat going

[MillerParkSouth]

Hart watching a lot of good pitches today

[trwi7]

Well he's pitching.

[GormanHarvey]

Dear Corey,

Please bring back last year's version of yourself.

 

Tanks - GH

[mletto157]

Nice catch Gabe.

[southpaw121505]

i disagree with this but dont hate it..i just wanted to get it out there right away that i didnt like it so i wasnt a yost basher if it blew up and THEN i said i didnt like it

Well he didn't throw him out that time... the ump just blew the call.

 

[Gobias Industries]

Kaplan covered a ton of ground on that. Very nice.

[sheetswannabe]

Benny, your time is now... Hell of a game for ya

[owbc]

Maybe time for him to go now.

[Gobias Industries]

He should be gone. Beltran's getting on here.

[trwi7]

Don't really know why you're leaving him in after the homerun. He's been getting hit pretty hard and is losing control.

[Trowekamp]

Haha, I thought he was around 95.

 

I just don't think he should go over 110.

As I said during the shutout.. since he won't be pitching for us next year.. burn him up.. plus who knows how many starts we have until he gets an hangnail, stubbed toe, or split end that keeps him out for the year so get him as many wins as possible.

[pitchleague]

well, please tell me somebody is throwing in the pen

[sargennm]

Hopefully Yost pulls him now. I'm not a Yost hater, but this seems to be the time to do it. Errr. Please don't go deep here Carlos.
