Walk D-Lee? I dunno, Ramierez is a threat to pop one as we have seen.

 

Walk C-Lee, no problem, Wes is looking at things down the middle.

 

Is it true Sheets is wearing long sleeves? Its hot like Satans undies outside.

I hate Derrick Lee

[brewmann04]

I guess Yost has not been listening to me or been watching what Mr Baker has been doing

[burniebrewer]

No matter how good a guy is, you don't walk him intentionally with no one out and none on.

 

Isn't that what teams were doing to Bonds a few years back?

Good point, but you can pitch around him to see if he'd swing at anything out of the zone. Perhaps if he got down in the count, you start to attack. I don't think it happens with Lee, but why not try? Better than two homeruns.

[dogs with bees in their mo]

Everybody wants to pitch around Lee when he's leading off? I think you should ban Bill Schroeder for posting with all these different accounts.

What the hell Ned...

Oh shut up already. You want Yost to tell a Cy Young type pitcher to walk Lee when he's leading off an inning. That ranks up there for ignorant comments on this board -- and there have been plenty.

 

He's Derek freaking Lee, not God.

[RyDogg66]

How about first pitch up and in, knock him in his a-ss, then toss a couple in the dirt...if you walk him oh well...don't just grove another freaking fastball down the pipe to the guy.

I dunno, anybody argue in support of Kinney/Franklin ever? That may top it off.

[burniebrewer]

Oh shut up already.

 

Looks like the heat is getting to some people. Take a pill, my man. It's called an opinion and everyone has one...

[brewerjamie15]

If the Crew plays poorly tomorrow against the Twinkies, it's gonna be a rough night at Kelly's Bleachers. Make sure you locals show up for the game!

[Bucky Rules]

How 'bout you just try to get him out. There is no reason to intentionally walk- or pitch around - a leadoff hitter, no matter who he is.

[brewmann04]

I am sorry Yost is so stubborn pitching to lee.

also I agree Mcgrudder needs to be waived or sent down

and lets give Hart or Cruz a Chance Geez

Yes, and if it were 50 degrees, someone here would blame Yost for that. You know... sometimes you just get tired of reading non-stop stupidity, so forgive me.

[rluzinski]

How bout we walk DLee to start off the inning?

 

So you guys honestly think Lee should be intentionally walked every AB, no matter the situation?

[Brian the Automator]

[ So you guys honestly think Lee should be intentionally walked every AB, no matter the situation? ]

 

No, he should be HBP.

[40 oz to Freedom]

Yeesh, how many near collisions in the field are we gonna have today

.463, 6, 18 with an OPS of 1.334 in 82 ab's for the month of june. Yes, you sure as hell better pitch around him. I don't care if his name is Lee or Bonds. The man is on fire, and he's already crushed us this entire series and is single handedly crushing us today. I thinking pitching to him is a bigger absurdity.

[bigjase]

I'm not saying IBB him, but at least pitch around him a little. Like the others have said, so inside, move him around a little. He is WAY to comfortable right now.

[Fike85]

With the exception of the two Lee HRs, Sheets is dealing. Let us get some runs, please.

[TheBwaz]

Dang Hall.

 

The runs will come after 3 because that is when I have to turn off the radio to have a meeting....

[Worm8181]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

[bigjase]

Yeah baby! Thats the Lee I wanta see hit!

[TheBwaz]

C-Lee hit

 

C-Lee leave the yard.

Last I checked a .463 OBP means he gets out more than half the time. With nobody on base, I'll take those odds. And also... last I checked Ben Sheets is a little bit better than your average Major League pitcher.

 

So please... enough of your Monday morning QBing.
