having no pitching plan for Coors

It looked to me like they did have one, fastballs early, curve balls later. Obviously it didn't work. Sheets lost it in a hurry.

[H0FFY]

Wow that new, not established, 5ish era pitcher <> was sure good tonight

 

Cook

[rluzinski]

Yost just wants to see how many runs Sheets can give up?

[PietroSanGiacomo]

I'm starting to seizure. Ben Sheets has retired 1 of the last 11 batters he has faced. They gave us 2 of the outs. Take him out, please.

[no19no1]

It was so much fun last inning, why not do it again. I try to stay optimistic, but this is just stupid.

[danzig6767]

Come on Ned,it's only 8-2,let Sheets battle through a few more batters.

[YutakaEnatsu]

Ever notice over the last few weeks, when the Crew is losing a game.. the only people talking about the wild card in the game thread are the people telling everyone else to stop talking about the wild card?

 

Also... it was a blessing that mlb.tv would just not work for me today. Gameday told me all I need to know. Ben, we'll see your old self back in 5 days, OK? And I promise your curve will work again when you are back out there.

I sure hope the Brewers face Clemens on this trip. He'll be the only pitcher they will do well against.

Lehr???? I"m going to bed.

[naivin]

Cheer up Brewer fans. Victor Santos starts tomorrow night(in case anyone was wondering why Ned wanted to keep ben in there)!

[moofnelson]

Give Sheets credit for going out and trying to suck up one more inning.

 

Instead, he just went out and sucked one more inning.

[brewerjamie15]

I'm trying to figure out why in the heck Ben Sheets was sent back out there after that disasterous inning. Don't you normally try to protect your ace more than that?

 

BTW- this sucks, and I think some viewers of this game just may be visiting the ol' drunk thread this evening.

[rluzinski]

Lehr really picked up Sheets there.

[brewers19]

I'm feeling like a moron now for questioning rluz's series prediction.

In fact, after viewing this train wreck, I'm convinced that 67% is a conservative estimate.

[batman]

Well, so much for my theory about Lehr. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

Sheets: 10 Earned Runs. Wow. Colorado scored 4 freaking runs their last three games.

[HighLifeandPeanuts]

yuck - see you all tomorrow, I can't do this anymore tonight...

[PeaveyFury]

perhaps Lehr and Obermueller would have been better options

 

Or not.

[brewerjamie15]

ya gotta feel for all those Brewer fans that are at the game right now, at least we're watching this mess from the comfort of our own couches...

[moofnelson]

Justin Lehr kinda sucks.

The same reason Justin Lehr relieved him - see tomorrow's pitching probables.

 

I think Sheets on;ly threw 96 pitches. The way the Brewers hit, this game was over at about 5-2. There is absolutely no point in using up your better bullpen guys in a game that is decided when you will need them the next few nights.

 

That being said, I would probably use this opportunity to get Cappellan in for an inning to straighten out after yesterday.

[lithium75]

I think they meant to bring Lehr in for his bat, he's up 6th next inning...

[AJAY]

I hope they get some work in for Turnbow.

[brewers19]

Dang, deja vu. This is like my season in MVP. For like two weeks, my pitchers were completely worthless; gave up an average of 15 per game. And who was the worst of the lot? Ben Sheets.

[rluzinski]

I can't stop watching. I mean, the brewers can't possibly be held to 2 runs in Colorado. It's like scoring -1 runs in any other park!
