JJ !!!

 

Better watch out...he's gaining on Jenks RBI numbers.

[Ennder]

No better time than now for Sheets first hit of the year!

[ja002h]

Now that's smart White Sox baseball right there.

[brettac1]

Now would be a time to welcome Branyan back.

[joshjs]

Ha ha... you know Sheets is gonna be jawing after the game about how they pitched around him in the fifth and then brought someone in to pitch to him in the sixth. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/happy.gif

[ja002h]

0-3, 3Ks. BRUTAL.

 

Thank you, Captain Hindsight http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

They had to make that pitching change with Sheets coming up. They need that righty vs. righty matchup.

Marlins only have 1 lefty in the pen, (and a familiar one at that) so it's time to pull Helms for Overbay.

[striders3]

I am questioning Moellers ability to call a game. I guess i will not question his speed on the base paths.

If it gets the Fish to bring in VDLS, do it.

That makes sense. Chances of it happening: roughly 0%

[PeaveyFury]

What a strange move by Florida. Bring in Bump with the pitcher due to bat, and their own pitchers' spot due to lead off in the next inning. Really quite odd to basically waste a pitcher to get a terrible hitting pitcher like Sheets out.

[Ennder]

I think I'd wait until the next pinch hit opportunity or when sheets comes out to bring in Overbay for the double switch.

[ja002h]

Sheets sure is cruising, 'cept for that fatal HR ball.

[Loopee]

What a pitch for the K!

[endaround]

Why? That means more Helmsian defense plus another AB agaisnt a righty.

[ja002h]

or when sheets comes out

 

That may not even happen today. 76 pitches thru 6.

[bullox]

Let's get some runs!

[PeaveyFury]

Isn't it amazing that after Sheets started throwing curveballs in the 5th inning, he's been completely unhittable?

 

Come on guys, this isn't rocket surgery.... you have to throw curveballs from the onset.

Obviously you have to bring in the Righty to face Sheets. Law of averages state that he has got to get a hit Sometime. Better not take any chances.

 

For real, though, I think that move was totally pitch count related. Olson is just a kid, and I think his count was as strict as a pitch count can get.

[ja002h]

That was the stupidest use of a pitcher ever. Even Yost wouldn't change just to get Sheets out.

That's possible, but it's not like it would have taken more than 4 pitches to get Ben out.

That's what McKeon WANTS you to think. muhahahaha.

We have Branyon for a double switch. Overbay can come in now. Especially since it appears as though Sheets could go 8 tonight

[jackellberry]

i think we should have someone throw rickie a steady diet of breaking balls during BP

Rocket surgery is hard.
