5/17/07 Brewers (Sheets) @ Phillies (Garcia): 2:05 PM CDT

You could see Rickie and Hall both pulling off the ball last night.

 

Yeah they were both swinging from their heels all night. I love Hall hes my favorite player, but he has been so inconsistant this season. Hell have a 3 hit and 2 hit game and then come back with a couple 0-fers. Im also hoping he gets his power back only 5 HR's so far this season.

[afeter]

that lineup is horrible. Why can't weeks just hit out of the 7 hole or something. Ned does this to sheets constantly.

In Play, Out(s) is at it again http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif .

I'm not so sure that anyone would want to see Weeks in the 3 spot right now. He is far from our best hitter currently.

 

 

Despite the historical thinking to the contrary, #3 should not be your best hitter. As has been alluded to before, 2 and 4 are actually more important. Hardy is the perfect 2, and I think Fielder should move to 4. If Gwynn's playing/hot, something like this:

 

Gwynn

Hardy

Weeks

Fielder

Hall

Jenkins

Estrada

In Play, Out(s)

 

Or, if you really want to get Weeks out of the top:

 

Gwynn

Hardy

Hall

Fielder

Jenkins

Estrada

Weeks

In Play, Out(s)

i agree and love that lineup. Rickie is getting himself behind in the count a lot. I think this is becuase he is in the one hole. I never liked him there, i hope this is a permanent change.

What more do Counsell and Graffy have to do to earn some playing time???!

[TeeJayh1980]

I cant wait to see the word "braun" in one of your mock lineups

[BrewCrewForever]

Im on board with Hall or Weeks in the 3 hole. And the other in the 5 hole.

[BrewCrewForever]

Nice inning Mr. Sheets. Alright boys lets get him a lead!

[sheethead]

They both need today off, in a bad way.

 

Only if they use it spending the whole day thinking about what they did.

In the 9 spot? I was thinking "Swinging Strike"

[thablingster]

I look away for 2 or 3 minutes and the inning is over. Nice work, Ben.

 

I love the In Play, Out(s) nickname for the third base platoon, although that means they'd actually have to make contact consistently to be In Play, Out(s). http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/happy.gif

Uecker said Weeks will probably have a few days off due to a sore wrist again. Did anyone catch anything said on the pregame show??? We don't need Graffy and Counsell in the lineup for too long!!!

 

Free Ryan Braun, when healthy!

[BrewCrewForever]

Estrada hits a line drive hard and of course Rollins makes a back handed stab. Just not bouncing our way on this trip.

[Klements Bratwurst]

It seems everyone hit the ball hard today except for Counsell. It has got to turn around soon!

[BrewCrewForever]

Oh no Graf and Counsell for a few days together. Great.

[cnycerveceros]

Clearly I'm not the first to say this, but here in New York no one cares what I think of the Brewers. Why is Yost so tied to Weeks in the 1 spot or not playing. Is he afraid he'll hurt his feelings?

 

His glove has improved so much I think he should be on the field, but maybe being moved down in the lineup for a few weeks would do him some good.

[BrewCrewForever]

As Homer Simpson would say Dooooooooooooooghhhhh!

[afeter]

i am going to be ill

[MillerParkSouth]

ruh-roh.

[thablingster]

We gave up a run, the season is over.

[bucksman4]

I don't care if you can throw 98 mph. If your fastball is straight as an arrow and never has any movement on it, you'll get shelled.

[BrewCrewForever]

Besides that one solo HR Sheets has sounded good for the first two innings.

[Team Canada]

Haha, you Gross haters!

[sheetswannabe]

That was just sick, no it was GROSS!
