Extra effort = an extra run

 

The Brewers are close to eclipsing their run total from the entire Marlins series...

[hurricanecrush]

This doesn't even look like the same team that I've been watching for the last couple of weeks. Their approach has changed overnight.

 

Hill!!!Is

 

McClung warming up in case they have to PH for Sheets? I sure hope Sheets is okay.

[HurricaneBraun]

Thank You Billy!

[SeriesFinale]

Nice, great job stretching that out Corey Hustle

 

Well, at least Sheeter will still be in

[Blancofan1]

does Benny stay in the game here with McClung up? does anyone have quick access to his pitch count?

[HighLifeandPeanuts]

McLung's warming up just in case Sheets bats this inning - they pinch hit for him

[iluvlamp]

This batting the pitcher 8th has to stop. IT. IS. STUPID!

[And That]

We scored in that series?

 

[PlayerHader]

HA HA...Good one Brian..."And Ben...(optimistically)makes contact again!"

[mastershake76]

Huh. Sent sheets up there to hack. Now watch him pitch to one guy and give way to McClung.

[SeriesFinale]

OK, fingers crossed we can actually hold on to a lead now

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It worked earlier in the month. Nobody was complaining when Kendall was red hot.

I was just coming to say the same exact thing. That was hilarious how pumped he was

[Dustin Block]

Huh. Sent sheets up there to hack. Now watch him pitch to one guy and give way to McClung.

Either that or Yost will pull a Gallardo and throw Sheets for 120 pitches, because, you know, it's not like he's been injured lately.

I would have to agree. Just because LaRussa does it does not mean its automatically a good idea. If it did, you would see more managers knocking down a fifth of Jack every night before driving home for the evening.

 

[trwi7]

So how many times do you want to walk Ramirez Ben?

[And That]

Sheets has walked 6 guys and Aramis Ramirez has walked 3 times. Bizarro world.

[SeriesFinale]

Kaspar and Brenly keep trying to build this up as a bigger, "more important" series for the Brewers than the Cubs

 

Come on guys

[iluvlamp]

dlk...Wasn't me. I don't like it. Never will.

Come on guys

 

NO KIDDING...it is still April for crying out loud

[mastershake76]

That's enough walks now, Ben, okay? Kyle, I'm seriously.

[iluvlamp]

Oh come on.

[hurricanecrush]

Sheets just can't get a call on the outside corner.

[SeriesFinale]

Brenly keeps saying, "Well, the Cubs are the ones on top"

 

By two games, dude. In April.

[trwi7]

The bottom of the order is owning Sheets.
