[ELCABALLO45]

Sanchez has a good arm. I can't wait to wat... O.. Wait...

 

Anyways, Go Ben!

[crewcrazy]

Repost from last night, but I think it deserves another post in a Sheets start. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif Here's to hoping for another classic Sheet-out.

[TauPentaRei]

It's just me being crazy, but I would rather have Sheets go tomorrow on normal rest.

 

42 pitches is 42 pitches, but muscles are funny in the way they can remember things and enjoy routine.

 

Let Parra have his way with Sanchez and let Benny out-duel Timmy L tomorrow.

 

Alas! It will be good practice for when Benny needs to pitch on 3 days rest in the NLCS.

[RallyRabbit8]

he pitches today so he can go in game 4 against St. Louis

[tdeggie]

today's lineup only change Hall back at 3rd with lefty on the mound

 

2B Rickie Weeks

SS J.J. Hardy

LF Ryan Braun

1B Prince Fielder

RF Corey Hart

3B Bill Hall

CF Mike Cameron

C Jason Kendall

RHP Ben Sheets

[brewtank34]

Is this game on TV today?

[TSack27]

Is this game on TV today?

Nope, the big FOX has exclusive broadcasting rights to the Saturday afternoon time slot.

 

More discussion going on in this thread > http://forum.brewerfan.net/viewtopic.php?t=14255

 

[crewcrazy]

Please win today. It seems like the Brewers have been allergic to going 11 games over .500 for the past couple weeks.

[JJHardy7]

What ceremonies are going on that are delaying the game?

[craigharmann]

Isn't it Barry Bonds day?

[razzzorsharp]

Yeah, good start! Two baserunners...

[fondybrewfan]

Can we please find a new leadoff hitter? Playoff teams dont have a guy hitting .216 with an awful OBP batting leadoff

[And That]

There's nothing like sitting back in front of the computer, drinking a big glass of ice-cold water and watching some baseball on Gameday. Life is good.

[razzzorsharp]

Dang, could have used a little something there. Too many K's.

[fondybrewfan]

Well I guess we did make him throw quite a few pitches

[dlk9s]

Sanchez has a chance to be a very, very good pitcher if he figures out how to throw more strikes. I remember he had nasty stuff when we faced him the first time, but we eventually knocked him around.

[razzzorsharp]

Not the best start for Benny.

[razzzorsharp]

Jeepers man, nice job Sheets.

[RickieDROPSbombs]

Way to go Benny double to bring in kendall. That a way to get it done bottom of the order

[crewcrazy]

If Ben Sheets doubles in a run and we can't see it on TV, did it really happen?

[splitterpfj]

I wish we had more than one run, of course, but Sanchez is already at 39 pitches after two IP.

[Terok Balefire]

Man too bad Winn made a great catch on Weeks' liner to right. Gameday is pretty sweet that you can watch clips once in a while with Uecker announcing.

[crewcrazy]

Nice job getting out of a jam, Benny. Uecker said Braun airmailed another throw completely over the cutoff man's head, but the third base coach held the runner at third because he just assumed Braun would make a good throw...lucky break.

[derflotr]

Corey's my favorite player but he's been absolutely horrendous lately.
