1 out

[markwitx]

good quick inning

[Brewer Fever]

Nice job Stros...way to let Ben work a 1-2-3, 4-pitch inning.

[JoeH33]

If I were an astros fan I would be really ticked off after that four pitch inning for Ben there. Talk about not having patience at the plate.

[bjamesw22]

18-17, not 18-7.

[steve267268]

Yeah, okay... Thought i heard that wrong.. 18-17

 

That losing streak really kills. We'd be in the thick of the WC if we had just won 2 of those games during the streak.

Won't matter, if the Brewers get runners on base, Yost will PH for Sheets anyways. If they don't have runners on he will let him hit and pitch next inning.

[markwitx]

good ben is staying in the gamehttp://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/happy.gif

[JoeH33]

8th inning will be huge with Biggio, Berkman, and Ensberg coming up.

[bjamesw22]

And no runners get on, so Benny hits. Hopefully he can get through another inning on 10 or less pitches so he can go the distance.

I am not sure that was the best strategy to leave Ben in there. This is what we have a setup guy and closer for. This will be tough inning for Ben it would be great for him to get through it.

 

Why wouldn't pinch hit for him when you have such a potent weapon the Grooter on the bench?

Lets see some more of that for the final 2 outs Ben!

I see what you're saying but is there really anyone in the pen you would trust more than our ace in this situation.

 

and as I type this Berkman hits a double off Ben...
