It would be nice to be careful to Delgado this time, no more belt-high heaters.

[H0FFY]

If a team won 62 games by an average of 6 runs, but lost 100 by an average of 1.1 runs, would they be FUN to watch.

 

Hello BREWERS.

 

Mark my words, this team is going to take a big, big jump soon. (Either they will or I will).

[striders3]

Wow...that curve has been MIA for awhile now. Good to see it again.

[brettac1]

Nice inning there.

[Brian the Automator]

Why does CarSoup.com only hire people who other people want to punch in the face?

[striders3]

Dream.....

 

What would Sheets numbers look like if he could take back 2 pitches a game, and his team scored 2 runs??

[Bruce Ciskie]

Mota's on. McKeon has gone with his (notably right-handed) setup guy. Time to roll out O and Prince.

 

Oh, crap.

 

Well, O and 3TO isn't bad. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/happy.gif

[jakesdaddio]

This is one crappy lineup!! Sheets must've looked at the lineup and thought he'd need a shutout. Dang HR's!!

[WV Brew]

Props to Ned for bringing in Overbay. Strange the announcers didn't realize until the 3rd pitch that there was a pinch hitter. Did they think Helms was batting lefty due to the three K's?

[Bruce Ciskie]

Great idea. Let two guys that suck vs. RHP hit while Jenkins and 3TO have a sunflower seed spitting contest in the dugout.

 

When people rip Ned, this is why. Don't you at least owe your flamethrowing SP a chance to get the win? Or does he expect Sheets to bring home the winning run himself?

[RoseBowlMtg]

Just got in how about a synopsis? Thanks!

[Brian the Automator]

I think McKeon forgot to take his pills.

[dogs with bees in their mo]

Mota is batting? McKeon must have smoked some seriously good stuff in the dugout.

[lithium75]

Wow the Florida Marlins are baseball Geniouses

I am even more dumfounded than when Mota went up ther to hit in th first place. Alzheimers is a bad traight for a manager to have.

[PeaveyFury]

Is McKeon drunk?

 

Mota batting in the bottom of the 8th with the winning run at first?

 

Am I missing something?

 

And now winning run at 2nd?

[Bruce Ciskie]

It's a typical Sheets start. Only he's pitching lights-out, and the offense sucks.

 

Sheets has probably thrown one bad pitch.

 

Hopefully, we see Jenkins and/or 3TO in the ninth against (presumably) Todd Jones.

[mikerollins]

WOW!! McKeon makes Ned look like a rocket scientist.

[PeaveyFury]

And NOW Lenny Harris PH's on 0-2?

 

What in the world?

 

I'm absolutely mystified.

[Bruce Ciskie]

They tried to wake Jack up before the at-bat, but they didn't succeed until it was 0-2.

[ja002h]

Ben Sheets is good.

[batman]

McKeon is certifiably insane.

 

~Bill

[WV Brew]

I think it was a smart move by McKeon. If the guy is out stealing, he doesn't waste a pitcher. He should have gone on the first pitch though.

[bullox]

Sheeter. Dealin'

[lithium75]

Now for the most challenging skill in the Baseball arsenal...the bunt (at least for the Brewers)

[Brian the Automator]

Call your shot, ben!
