I cant watch im in class...sheets not hitting 90??

[COOOOP]

Ruh Roh, we may be in trouble. Preston Wilson got a hit.

[EinhornIsFinkle]

Seriously I'm getting worried....he's like 6 or 7 mph off. Toma's shoulder last night and Ben has no velocity.

[EinhornIsFinkle]

Uecker said he hasn't gone above 89 tonight and most pitches are in the 87 or 88 range.

[Ayt]

The last pitch was 95 on TV. The pitch before that 92. If anything is wrong it is that his curve isn't working.

[mikevan1818]

Not looking good right now.

[COOOOP]

Phew, I thought for sure that was going to get past Jenkins on the bounce.

[steve267268]

not too crispy so far for ben...

 

doesn't look like he's got his curve.

[Ayt]

Yeah, it's basically all fastballs with a lot of plate.

[And That]

Ay yi yi.

[wisconsinfan47]

That was bad.

 

They are hitting the ball waaaaaaay too hard.

[COOOOP]

Bases loaded, no outs, Sheeter is looking hittable tonight. His velocity seems down a bit.

 

Double UG. Ground rule double. two runs score, but it would have been three for sure.

[PeaveyFury]

No curve and getting a lot of the plate. Not good, I hope nothing is wrong with him.

[Schlitz001]

Sheets not looking good. Bill Hall looked confused in center on that ground rule double.

[markwitx]

OH OH this is not the ben that we all love.

[mikevan1818]

Three runs with Sheets pitching? Good morning, good-afternoon, goodnight. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

[EinhornIsFinkle]

If his velocity is off an he is getting rocked shouldn't there be some sort of mound meeting to check on him?

[PeaveyFury]

His velocity seems fine- mid-90's.

[jloos19]

Get him out of there.

[COOOOP]

Pitcher with a hit, and an rbi. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

[Ayt]

Has he thrown one curve for a strike?

[DHonks]

yeah, but peavey his velocity is 3-4 mph down. And he hasn't been hitting his spots.

 

He's probably fine. His knock in the early years was he had the tendency to come out throwing softer. Could also be just some dead arm time

[PrimetimeHater]

His velocity is fine...he's been hitting 95...but he just hasn't been able to get his curve over for a strike, and his 4 seamer is just off. He can't get any first pitch strikes.

[COOOOP]

5-0 stros, I sense an OBS award for Sheeter.

[DrugBust]

I haven't seen anything wrong with his velocity. He's still in the low to mid nineties. Control isn't there though.
