5/4/08 Brewers (Sheets) at Astros (Sampson): 1:05 PM CDT

Hey Kendall, maybe after the first two mistakes trying to get Berkman on the inside corner, you'd figure out that it's not such a good idea.

 

Grrrr.

[StatPipes]

Berkman's had Sheets # his whole career

[GoudaBrew]

Well, better than back2back jacks

[steve267268]

these fans are ten times worse than cubs fans when it comes to cheering lazy fly balls.. ughhh

[pebadger]

Many being former Enron employees, they're predisposed to think everything that goes up is a home run.

[tristarscoop]

Anyone else shocked by the size of Berkman when we started this series? His face is SO bloated - I don't know if his body looks that much bigger, but I thought his face was almost unrecognizable.

Probably because a lot of lazy fly balls are HRs in that park.

[bucks2281]

Ugh. I have a feeling that allowed Sheets to return will be a bad idea.

Are you here all week? I'll be sure to tip my waitress.

 

Regarding the comment on Braun pulling up to let Cameron catch it... I am REALLY looking forward to the first time Ned - in end-game run prevention mode - uses 2 outfielders and 5 infielders. Mike C and TGJ? or Stocker?

[RyDogg66]

Again, having Sheets out there is better than McClung...correct?

[Blancofan1]

Sheets decides to wait and set the strikeout record at home, what a team player!!

[PeaveyFury]

Nice inning. At 105 pitches, we got the 6 innings we needed for Ben and he looked MUCH improved from his first outing back- time to call it a day.

[tristarscoop]

LOVE that he had his batting gloves on, like he could talk Ned and Mike into letting him stay in.

[tristarscoop]

Should Ben be able to talk his way back into the game?

[PeaveyFury]

Holy freaking crap, he's back out there?

[PeaveyFury]

This might seriously be the worst decision Yost has made, and that's saying something.

[crewcrazy]

Dusty Yost making another appearance...does Ned hate his bullpen that much that he's going to make Sheets throw 130 pitches every start?

[Blancofan1]

totally don't agree with Benny pitching another inning here

[marquettefan13]

Holy freaking crap, he's back out there?

Yeah - I was surprised to see him back out there.

[tristarscoop]

Maybe he just wanted to "take" Loretta.

[brewers19]

Over 100 pitches and coming off an arm injury, Ben should not be going back out there.

[marquettefan13]

Shouse is coming in now.

[Blancofan1]

what was the point of that? we have a fairly rested pen, and a day off tomorrow

[brewers19]

That was fairly odd.

[PeaveyFury]

Weird. But I can live with one hitter- if he'd have pitched the inning, I'd be pretty ticked off.
