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

[MrAgro]

How did Hardy score off of a single?

[MoneyballMan]

I love it....Sheets covering his mouth with the helmet. I guess the PIrates bullpen could have a lip reader with binoculars...."ok, you want me to just not hit into a double play, right"... good thing the Pirates couldn't see that!!

[parkside21]

It is wrong for me to laugh out loud when Wilson makes an error?

 

 

Keep on laughing good buddy, keep on laughing.

[MoneyballMan]

Sheets was taking that second pitch so much that Gross was standing on 2nd with his helmet off!!

[JET15]

It might be best if he just K'd. A DP would be worse with the bases loaded

[DHonks]

I hope Sheets strikes out to avoid the DP

[MoneyballMan]

Good...strategy session on the mound do to the dangerous Sheets at the plate with a 1-2 count! Just throw a fastball right down the middle, right? geez

[TheCrew07]

not all that unexpected there, maybe Rickie will actually hit something here.

 

He's due..

 

Wild Pitchs works well too.

[MoneyballMan]

BRILLIANT!

[MoneyballMan]

If I was Armas, I would throw ONLY 80 mph curveballs to Weeks....ok, I guess he's taking my advice!

 

Not sure why anyone would throw a straight pitch to Weeks.

[adambr2]

If I'm an opposing pitcher, I don't ever throw Weeks a fastball. Not until he proves he can do anything with a breaking ball.

[MoneyballMan]

What is Weeks' average with RISP this year? Anyone have that handy?

[adambr2]

Right on MoneyballMan, I was thinking the same as you!

.219

.208 with 2 outs/RISP

[MoneyballMan]

Wow, wonder how much George had to pay Clemens for 3/4 of a year? $25m???

[JET15]

Clemens will not save the Yankees... I hope

[davemakovec]

Right now Rickie Weeks is looking a lot like early-season Geoff Jenkins of last year - just throw him breaking balls until he punches out or grounds out weakly.

 

Rickie Weeks really needs to get going.

 

Sheets with another K.

 

Jim Powell with a pretty funny line at Ueck's expense, there. Hee hee.

[JET15]

What is with FSN showing the vendors all of the time? Like that's something to look at

[Mike2k33]

From the Brewers' site:

 

"Hit by a pitch last night, Cecil Fielder homered in his first two at-bats today."

[TheCrew07]

Do Pirates fan dislike JJ the way we dislike Wilson?

[MoneyballMan]

That's great how they keep showing Capps every time Fielder swings a bat. Man, he almost hit the roof and hit one out there!

[giffted1]

Get up, Get up, Get Outta here...caught.

[JET15]

Counsell is quickly approaching the Mendoza line. And his OBP is nearly below 300.

[MoneyballMan]

Fielder's kind of having a nice day, huh? BIG MAN DIVING FOR ONE!

But he's getting "professional at bats."
