5/6/07 Pirates (Armas) @ Brewers (Sheets): 1:05 PM CDT

[tomwopat]

Is the opposing pitcher the only player in the majors whose name consists of 4 body parts?

[theavrock]

Haha that was the funniest thing I have read in months.

[lcbj68c]

I'd rather see, Gwynn, Weeks, Hardy, Fielder, Jenkins, Estrada, Gross, Counsell, Sheets.

 

Just my opinion. Weeks hits for more power and will be protected more by Hardy, and counsell should bat 8th, not Gwynn.

[saget]

J.J. in the 3 hole and Prince as cleanup? Yes please.

[EinhornIsFinkle]

Memo to Ben Sheets....pitch around Xavier Nady.

[jason21nl]

id like to have Hardy in the 3 hole too..however right now, I don't think you move him anywhere..he is so hot right now, you just leave him alone

[ELCABALLO45]

My prediction: Weeks lead off home run finnaly.

[cruiserx43]

Memo to Ben Sheets....pitch around Xavier Nady.

 

I thought that Nady was had some kind of nagging injury.

[tookej]

I predict a big win. "Smash Mouth Baseball" Gentlemen nothing less.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[crewcrazy]

Jason Bay's first at-bat should be interesting after last night's events. I don't think Sheets hits him, but Dave Bush probably would. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif

[saget]

Why does everyone think Bay will be the one to get hit?

 

Because of the substitution last night?

[owbc]

Although I would love to see Sheets nail one of the Pirates, I'd rather we don't. Sheets doesn't need to get thrown out, and a fight could only help the Pirates, since we already appear to be an inspired, mortivated team on a hot streak.

[jloos19]

Why does everyone think Bay will be the one to get hit?

 

Because he is their best player, and it could definitely be argued Fielder is our best.

[razzzorsharp]

It's the mentality that you hit one of our best players we hit your best. Who else are you gonna pick, LaRoche? Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing Jack Wilson get hit, if anyone.

[saget]

Oh. Duh.

 

I sorta knew that.

[razzzorsharp]

Tony Armas seems like the type of guy we would have had as our number 3 five years ago, with the hopes he would regain his average type form.

[Ennder]

Its always funny hearing Uecker talk about Jack Wilson who could easily be the worst full time hitter in baseball over the past 6 years but has somehow managed a .778 OPS against us compared to a .676 career OPS.

[jloos19]

Sheets caused a ton of swing and misses that inning, another really good sign.

[jason21nl]

sheets with the k of bay is nice

 

 

rick with a pop up isn't

[davemakovec]

Jack Wilson with another single... I can't stand this guy. Why can't he do this against the Cubs, instead?

 

Then Rickie pops up 3-1. He does that a lot.

[jason21nl]

counsell...come on

[wOOgiE22]

Man, more bad baserunning!

[And That]

Bad idea by Counsell, but he was safe.

[jloos19]

Counsell was definitely safe on that play, although umps will rarely if ever call that safe.

[AdvantageSchneider]

That's the smart veteran play we brought him on board to do.

 

Especially going against a guy with a 7.00 ERA. We need to take aggressive chances on the basepaths b/c we might not score against him this game.
