2 hits for Preston? Yeah, time for a mound visit...

 

He just doesn't have his stuff tonight.. that happens.. the good ones find a way though.. let's do it.

Sheets breaks out a 2-seemer for the first time in 2 or three years. THAT's how you know he doesn't have the good stuff tonight.

Huh? He's been throwing a ton of 2-seamers the last few years.

[brewerjamie15]

Looks like Sheets is stopping a streak. Unfortunately, it's a streak you don't want stopped. Sheeter looking just horrid.

As I say this, he is just getting the hook.

[adamb100]

Call to the pen.

[mikevan1818]

lil Ben coming in for Big Ben?

[DHonks]

Huh? He's been throwing a ton of 2-seamers the last few years.

 

Nope. The only park he regularly throws 2-seamers is Coors Field. He almost exclusively has thrown the 4 seamer the last 3 years, hence why his fastball has jumped from 92 to 98

[steve267268]

We can still do this.. if we can come back from 9 down we can come back from 4 down no problem.

 

Let's see what you got Lil' Ben.

[davemakovec]

Much as I hate to see it, it's necessary. He hasn't been on all night.

 

Hopefully Li'l Ben can throw better than Big Ben has been.

[Invader3K]

What was with Sheets tonight? He didn't look like himself out there at all.

[markwitx]

is there any word on Tomo? i hope there is nothing wrong with Ben. I wonder if Doug is on the phone yet with Rodger, we could sure use him.

[JoeH33]

Well they got our two back...gotta keep mashing.

[DHonks]

Li'l Ben hit 91 a few times. Sheets averaged about 92, with a few hitting 94 (3 or 4) and a few hitting 90. So that shows Sheets didn't have his best stuff

[COOOOP]

Lil Ben limits further damage. Stros 7, Crew 2

 

I know Hall is going to be up 3 more times, so we will win this game 8-7.

[Ayt]

We are going to hit so many HRs this year.

[JoeH33]

That doen't hurt!

 

Solo shot for JJ, fortunately we brought the bats to the park today.

[Fike85]

Wow, I need to Pick up JJ Hardy again.

[COOOOP]

JJ!

 

Another homerun!

 

Stros 7, Crew 3.

 

Just barely got out, but out it went.

[Schlitz001]

Moeller is enjoying some tea in the dugout.

[COOOOP]

I have zero clue why this is, but I still feel strangely confident about this game.

[markwitx]

don't give up plenty of time left.

[JoeH33]

Lets keep peckin' away at that lead. Four runs isn't too big of a hurdle.....unless we keep giving up 5 an inning.

[JoeH33]

WOOO HOOO

 

One pitch, one out!

 

Sorry.....little things http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/happy.gif

[COOOOP]

Little Ben's curve is working.

[COOOOP]

Thats at least 4 base hits right up the middle by the stros.

[And That]

Hendrickson only needed 3 2/3 IP to graduate off the Power 50 coming into the game, now only 2 2/3 away.
