"They're adding grit this season."

 

Someone needs to euthanize FOX.

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

Get Ben Sheets out of there before this gets out of hand.

[trwi7]

So does Sveum not realize that Sheets has had nothing today?

[giffted1]

Get him out of there, Dale!!!

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

Well that Wild Card lead was nice while it lasted.

[trwi7]

Get him out you idiot. How many more runs does he have to give up?

[Roscoe Chill]

Interesting that Ben Sheets being "gutsy" just might be what keeps the Brewers out of the playoffs. He should have stayed in the dugout.

[brewcrew00]

Seriously get him out of there. Pathetic.

[adamb100]

We dug ourselves in a hole. Time for the offense to step it up.

[brewers19]

Apparently you can't count on an injured pitcher to put up a good performance. Whoda thunk it?

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

I'm not going to miss Ben Sheets. He's a good pitcher and all, but I'm frankly done with him and his lack of durability.

[trwi7]

Interesting that Ben Sheets being "gutsy" just might be what keeps the Brewers out of the playoffs. He should have stayed in the dugout.

And people wonder why players, especially pitchers don't play hurt. Well look what happens when they do.

[Brewcrewin07]

If they can't beat a stiff like Lilly, they don't deserve to be in the playoffs anyway.

I like the Sveum brought in DeFelice instead of Bush. We need Bush to go Monday if it comes to that.

[pebadger]

Sheets does not belong on the playoff roster

[brewers19]

"His heart was in the right place."

 

Mark Grace, meet the mute button.

[Kurt]

So we lose Sheets next season and sign CC. I'm on board.

[bthurley19]

Whoever cleared sheets to pitch today was very foolish.

[dlk9s]

Nice play by Weeks there.

[Ennder]

Sheets does not belong on the playoff roster

I can agree with that, he obviously isn't healthy and one more week isn't going to change it. As soon as he hit the 180 IP or so range the odds of him finishing the season were extremely low. As mad as everyone here is at Sheets I'm twice as mad at Yost for the mismanagement of Sheets and Parra that has put us in this mess. So glad that guy is gone.

[trwi7]

So are we going to pinch hit for DiFelice and then go to Bush? Why didn't they just bring in Coffey or someone and pinch hit for him?

[adamb100]

Rule number 1: Dont miss with Lilly.

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

Dear offense,

 

Please score runs.

 

Thanks,

I think DeFelice is in because the pitcher's spot is up in the bottom of the inning. I'd guess we'd see Bush next inning, but who knows.

[dlk9s]

So are we going to pinch hit for DiFelice and then go to Bush? Why didn't they just bring in Coffey or someone and pinch hit for him?

I think Sveum is trying to save Bush so we don't have to have Yo go on three days rest in a possible one-game playoff. I agree with this, if that's what he's doing.

 

EDIT: I forgot that the pitcher is coming up in the bottom of the inning. I guess I would've liked to have seen a one inning pitcher in the 3rd, then.
