6/8/2004 - Brewers(Sheets)@Angels(Escobar)/Cheese Sandwiches

[DuWayne Steurer]

BOOYAH!

 

Way to go Ben. At least Sheets won't get tagged with the pathetic loss here.

[xisxisxis]

you're asking DAVE if he's got some "positive Brewers vibes" stored up??!?!?!?

 

hehe...sorry xis, couldn't resist!

 

Yeah I was thinking that might be genetically impossible then look what happened......K

[scoop53714]

speaking of trade value, what exactly is Ben worth right now?? Good lord he is huge.

[Brewer Fever]

If they don't scrape across 1 stinkin run for this guy...I better read about how they trashed the visitor's clubhouse in the morning paper.

[DHonks]

only 103 pitches...if we don't get a lead here, I'd be tempted to let him try one more frame. I like his chances against Guerrero, Guillen, and Mondesi as good as anyone else

[madjeff66]

well, the hit helped break my concerns about "what if he has a perfecto going and this game goes like 12 innings?" Cause it seemed only 115 pitches could do 12 innings...

 

Take away the two extra batters and it would have been about a 93 pitch perfecto, would have had to send him out for the tenth. Right now, ending his night at about 103 makes good sense.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Maybe it's just a perception issue, but has our offense EVER sucked for this long of a period of time so BADLY?!!?

[scoop53714]

I am about to go through the damn roof. Ginter is single handely blowing this fudging game.

[Brewer Fever]

Can these hitters do anything right?

[madjeff66]

Thanks K-Rod, that would have been an easy DP with a good throw

[Jopal78]

Way to see Ginter working the count with the game on the line.

I think it's been a collective effort.

 

C'mon, Grieve!

 

EDIT: Way to see Ginter working the count with the game on the line.

 

Dude, it was a sacrifice bunt.

 

And he just stole second. How do you like them apples?

[DuWayne Steurer]

Blaming the offensive woes solely on Ginter seems a little misplaced.

[950opsLHcatcher]

Sheeter's WHIP is now 0.85. Wow.

 

2.41 ERA. Wow.

 

Good job, Gint.

[endaround]

So is Bennett unavailable?

[scoop53714]

who came up with runners on 2nd and 3rd and NO outs??? GInter?? Who blew a bunt in the 10th to kill a potential winning rally?? Ginter?? I think he is much to blame.

[batman]

Well, at least Chadwick *tried* to run him over. Dude, you're a *catcher*... you're supposed to go in harder than that. Think Prince Fielder.

 

Now what? More Ben? Some Mike Adams? Surrender?

Way to see Ginter working the count with the game on the line.

 

Um... is one supposed to work the count on a sac bunt? That's news to me. You can blame him for not executing the sacrifice, but trying to blame him for "not working the count" is lame.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Scoop, I understand all that, and I agree, but when we have ZERO runs in 10 innings, the ENTIRE offense is to blame. Jenkins (captain K) Pods, Overbay, the whole bunch hasn't done squat. That's my point.

[xisxisxis]

So is Bennett unavailable?

 

Endaround you might have missed Nedley's plan, but on days that Sheets starts, Moeller catches. Now if Sheets leaves the game, Moeller still has to catch because Sheets STARTED the game. See? Quite simple and knowing our manager it has to be simple for him to understand.

[DHonks]

too bad....if Moeller is in foul territory as he's supposed to be, there's a good chance he sneaks by

[Brewer Fever]

We get a guy to throw a 1 hit shutout and he can't even pick up a win. I think I'd force every hitter to use any bat but their own next game.

[endaround]

Obviously its Ginter's fault that after he didn't get a hit, neither Grieve nor Moeller were able to hit after him. And when he stole 2nd to give the same situation as if he did bunt, its his fault Grieve Ked.

[danzig6767]

Seems everytime Sheets pitches if he gets 3 runs from the offense it's an explosion.The guy only has 5 wins and has been nearly as good as any pitcher in baseball.

[batman]

But David, what about Trent Durrington? We like him because of his versatility, remember? He can catch.

 

Errr. Wait. Nevermind. I lied.

 

C'mon, Vizco. Don't suck.
