Way to give Ben a chance to rest.

I don't know what it is, but it sure seems like Gross struggles big-time when he leads off. I haven't looked up anything statistical to back this up, but it sure seems like it.

[adambr2]

63 pitches thru 6 for Snell. We are sure making him labor.

[fondybrewfan]

OK so if Sheets gets out of this inning with say 95 pitches do you take him out? The guy is just dealing right now

[Riebes24]

Sheets. Looks. Good. REALLY good. It's just so fitting that our offense looks like a AA team today for his return.

[fondybrewfan]

Make that 14 in a row

[adambr2]

Shoot, now what?? Ben is dealing right now but only 6 pitches away from his ceiling. What to do?

[Brewers77]

Riebes arent you one of the people who would trade an ace like sheets for anyone like ichiro just to get rid of him?

[fondybrewfan]

Lets get him a lead here boys, we got the heart of the lineup coming up, and I vote for keeping him in in the 8th until someone gets one base, if he makes it through the 8th then he is done

Only a .222 BA, but a nice .364 OPB, .444 SLG and .808 OPS, in 18 AB's.

[PeaveyFury]

Dave Bush up in the bullpen, again?

[COOOOP]

I don't ask for this very often, but pretty please, get a hit Mr. Jenkins.

 

Edit:

Or, take a walk !

[adambr2]

Bush in the pen again!!! LOL....

[Giraldo8]

Nice Job Jenks. Lets go Carlos!

[crewcrazy]

Dave Bush up in the bullpen, again?

 

Apparently Bush's turn in the rotation is going to be skipped with the day off on Thursday.

[adambr2]

C'mon Prince...don't let this great start go to waste...

[fondybrewfan]

Comn Billy

[augie46]

When Bush goes on the DL later this season it is not because we are snake bitten.

[cruiserx43]

This guy owns Hall.

[iluvlamp]

IN case no one else has said it yet. Ian ******** Snell?

[adambr2]

Nice AB Billy.

[NYChez]

At least the Brewers gave Sheets a run tonight. Clemens is down 1-0 late in the game. How many times has that happened since he joined the Astros? 15 times?

[Giraldo8]

Can Rickie Weeks Pinch Run you think? Just a thought for later in the game.

[tyguy20204]

man that ump is giving strikes off the plate.

 

and bill halls just looks ridiculous sometimes.

[adambr2]

Horrible AB's by Hall and Miller. Neither did anything to help pick Sheets up. Frustrating.
