7/4/05 Brewers (Sheets) @ Marlins (Olsen) 5:05 CST

[Bruce Ciskie]

Ned and Butch will need to cue that videotape for JJ sometime between the end of tonight and the start of tomorrow, or whenever JJ plays again.

 

I'm watching on GameDay, but that doesn't change the fact that you can't take three strikes in a row.

Second time through the order now. You wouldn't think that Ben would continue to mow them down if he keeps throwing basically nothing but fastballs.

And the home run parade off Ben Sheets continues.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/ohwell.gif

[Ennder]

Ouch.

 

Ben needs that curve working, without it good hitters who can just sit on a fastball are going to be hitting them out on him all year.

[PeaveyFury]

Ok, Chad and Ben seriously need to get together and start throwing curveballs. This 90% fastball crap has got to stop, and is largely responsible for his mediocrity lately (and not to mention the ton of HR's he's giving up).

Correct.

[Brian the Automator]

It's quite possible that Ben Sheets runs slower than...... ME.

[ja002h]

Cmon Rickie. We need a hit here.

[ja002h]

A short fly is not what I meant.

[brettac1]

Bill Hall, meet Mr. Regression to the Mean. I think this will be the start of a beautiful frienship that should last about three months.

[scoop53714]

this is a hard team to watch.

[dogs with bees in their mo]

Sheets threw a lot of curves that inning, and some pretty good ones. I kind of have to wonder why it took until the 5th inning, though. Lowell and Gonzalez just looked terrible.

[striders3]

Who calls pitches, the dugout or Moeller?

[PeaveyFury]

Moeller. Why would they come from the dugout?

[endaround]

Some manager/pitching coaches still call for certain pitches agaisnt given batters.

Nah. Get the Major League Baseball Extra Innings package and sit down and watch the Rockies, Pirates, Reds, Royals, Mariners, or Giants on a regular basis.

 

The Brewers are actually one of the more exciting young teams out there. I'm having a blast this year.

 

If it's hard for you to watch---don't!

[lithium75]

I thought Helms was good against lefties, is a sombrero in store for Helms?

[WV Brew]

Helms has no clue.

[Bruce Ciskie]

Rooter: 2-3, K

Everyone else: 4-18, 7 K

[bullox]

How is Helms brutal?

 

0-3, 3Ks. BRUTAL.

[dogs with bees in their mo]

That'll work Hardy! Tie game.

[jackellberry]

attaboy JJ

[joshjs]

YEAH!

[PeaveyFury]

Yeah, that's understandable, but I think the poster was questioning whether they called all of the pitches from the dugout...

[mikerollins]

Atta kid JJ!!!

 

That makes up for some of the rockets that have been caught earlier in the season.

 

He is really starting to look comfortable at the plate.
