07/30/05 - Giants (Schmidt) at Brewers (Sheets) 6:05 CDT

[batman]

It's a matchup of two aces tonight as the Giants hand the ball to Jason Schmidt and the Brewers counter with Ben Sheets.

The Crew really needs a win after two disappointing losses on Thursday and Friday. It is keychain night at Miller Park and the weather looks great... head on out with the family and hopefully enjoy a nice pitching matchup and a Brewers win!

Schmidt has been pitching well as of late, but so has Ben. I am always happy with the speed at which Ben works and his ability to NOT WALK players. Since Schmidt is a a quality pitcher in my mind, I would expect the Brewers to beat him. Now if it was someone with control problems or a no name pitcher we would probably get shut out. I just hope they wake up and can salvage a split of this series. There will be a lot of fans at tonights game so it is very important that the Brewers try to look like a major league team at least.

Unfortunatly.....bad feelings about tonights game. It sure would be sweet to salvage a 2-2 split though.

[brewers19]

I've had bad feelings about every game lately.

[brewers19]

Lovely, just lovely. On the pregame show, Damian told Jim that the team isn't looking to just be .500, but rather 10 game over. Ya gotta learn to walk before you can run, guys.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

cripes can't we just take it one game at a time

[Braktalk]

For the rest of the season I am going to force myself to take the games for entertainment value only. It will save me the heart ache.

I've been working my way towards that. For instance, last night. I was having a nice pleasant time until the 8th inning. Then the rest of my night was ruined. It's an emotional rollercoaster that is hard to handle at times.

Let's go Sheetsie! Let's go Crew!

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

there goes the shut out

[brewers19]

There goes the shutout.

[ThePurpleStorm]

Hey, I'm making progress. I was only mildly upset when they scored. In the past I would have thrown a brick through the window. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/happy.gif

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

I got a couple Packer Bad call bricks if you need one

[RyDogg66]

As a fan, I have to say, I hate going to a game and start losing before my seat is warm. My parents went to the game today...I wonder if they even made it their seat while this thing was still close... http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/eyes.gif

Phew. Through a fastball by Rickie.

[cruiserx43]

Brady is getting Podsednikitis lately. I don't want my leadoff guy swing for the fences, coincidingly his OBP appears to be dropping. He Brady just do what got you the leadoff spot in the first place. It the other guys' job to hit the ball over the fence. You are supposed to work the pitch count!

With the exception of Brady, it's nice to see the batters working the count a bit.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

Carlos...wasn't that ball four ?

[brewers19]

Good thing we've got Sheets locked up for the next few years. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/eyes.gif

Moeller has to be the best defensive catcher in all of baseball.

 

Little league baseball.

[rwa12]

you are absolutely right brewers19,...we have no use for a pitcher who gives up 3 runs or less every game...

[brewers19]

we have no use for a pitcher who gives up 3 runs or less every game

 

Exactly, we should trade him for a bunch of those terrible pitchers who do well against us.
