OK Brewers,

 

We're dodging storms to get to a hotbox (since I assume the roof will be closed) because we haven't seen you guys in person in almost four weeks. I mean, Bad Chad played the last time we were in the house.

 

Please make it worth our while.

 

Best wishes, and stay healthy!

Game 5 for me this week all cept one on free tickets. (I'm a free ticket whore!). Was hot yesterday, but I'm assuming it'll be hotter tonight. I'm sure balls won't carry.. so can we play small ball?

[nullbyte]

No tv, eh? What a crappy deal...

[IslandsAC]

clark

graffanino

fielder

mench

jenkins

bell

hall

rivera

sheets

 

 

Fielder hitting third, nice. Against a righty, that lineup actually looks pretty decent to me...

I'm pretty sure It's on Telemundo. If you don't live in the Milwaukee area though, I guess that doesn't do much for you.

[AJ Love]

Rivera two days in a row, huh? Looks like Dunn did indeed take a little bit out of Damian.

[B2k1121]

I like this lineup, don't know why, but I do.

[JoeH33]

It seems kind of weird to me that our team leader in HR and RBI is batting 7th.

[aracko]

I dont understand why Hall is hitting 7th.

 

But when I look at this lineup, I guess I really dont have a better place to put him. Maybe 6th.........

[B2k1121]

From the looks of gameday Sheets just dominated Dunn with 2 fastballs and then the curve in the dirt.

[fondybrewfan]

4 pitches, two outs, that what I like to see

[Riebes24]

Sheets looks filthtastic so far, very good to see

[crewcrazy]

Quick and easy first inning for Ben.

[brewers255]

Sheets is dominating through 1 inning. 1 K and through 8 pitches 7 strikes

[B2k1121]

Yay Ben Sheets.

[tookej]

All righty were buyers again.

[JoeH33]

Ben's looking pretty good so far. An eight pitch first inning never hurts the confidence either.

[TauPentaRei]

do we wait to score our lone run until the 8th or 9th?

 

*jinxism*

Nope, definitely in the first 3 batters and then nothing for the rest of the game...

 

*more jinx*

[JoeH33]

I was just going to question why Brady's starting vs a RHP instead of Gross. Then he smacks a double on the first pitch he sees.

[aracko]

Can Graff Bunt? Get Brady to 3rd and get Sheets a run.

[IslandsAC]

may be a liiiiitttle to early for that

No, but he can strike out swinging.
