Since he had no fastball today and is still sitting in the dugout, is there a chance he has deadarm also and they are just resting him?

[dlk9s]

Crud, Sheets is hurt.

SERENITY NOW!

i don't think anything is wrong with sheets. why would he be laughing and joking in the dugout if he was hurt ?

[brewcrewman17]

Maybe (hopefully) it's just a blister or something.

[pebadger]

Benny figures he did enough and he's in line for the win. Sure thing with this pen.

 

This better be nothin', though I must say that even if Benny misses a start I'm pretty happy with teh rest of the rotation and McClung is good for a spot start.

[Cdiddy34]

i was just following the game on yahoo and saw he got yanked. i was hoping it wasn't anything major and doesn't appear to be, crossing my fingers now though! maybe he just has a tired arm like zambrano.

[endaround]

I'd go with a dead arm until further notice. He also probably would like to avoid wearing his arm down constantly throwing curves like he had to.

[bucks2281]

Who had September 1?

 

Seriously, though. This makes me really nervous. We know the Ben Sheets injury cycle -- I think somebody posted the 5-day "routine" back in April when his spot was skipped.

[rluzinski]

He was laughing in the pen, so I doubt there's an obvious injury, ATM. Of course, "dead arm" can turn out to be a lot of things.

[Gobias Industries]

Maybe (hopefully) it's just a blister or something.

Let's hope it's not a blister. Those can linger for what would be the rest of the year.

 

As someone else said, tired arm like Zambrano would be about the best case scenario. (Edit: Or Groin.)

[trwi7]

Trenni says tightness in his left groin. Assuming it's day-to-day.

[brettac1]

Groin. No biggie hopefully.

[thablingster]

Trenni said Sheets has tightness in his groin, again.

 

Now we get to hear BA's wretched pronunciation of groin! lol

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Gotta keep winning and get Sheets healthy for the playoffs.

[Dustin Block]

Crap. He's probably laughing because he's done just enough this year to get a major pay day in the offseason.

[razzzorsharp]

Fixed it for you.

[trwi7]

Couldn't Weeks have dove for that? At least try to keep it out of the outfield.

[thablingster]

It seems like CV has really been laboring lately. He has gotten the job done more often that not, but it hasn't been easy.

I've felt the same way. Ever since the walk-off against the Dodgers.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Big K...

[bernieh]

Yost, match-up managing in the 6th! I LIKE IT. Way to take advantage of the expanded roster.

[thablingster]

Can Tim Dillard pitch the 7th over Riske? lol

[brewcrewman17]

Did anyone else notice and not like that CV's fastball/changeup velocity differential was only 5-7MPH (and sometimes as little as 3 or 4)? That's not quite enough of a difference for me.

[trwi7]

Nice job. Insurance please!

[bucks2281]

Phew.

 

Nine more outs, bullpen
