    I can't imagine that Sheets has pitched from the stretch at all, but he probably will now.
  2. Bruce Ciskie
    Let Sheets start the 8th, then maybe bring in Aquino or CV for the ninth. Save the big guns for a close game.

    I also like our new left fielder. The Dodgers might not like theirs as much. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    I like our new catcher. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    Will Ben Sheets make contact today? Odds are 5-3 against. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/happy.gif

    Anyone else think Mench is - even if only in the back of his mind - wishing for a bad-looking strikeout here?
  7. Bruce Ciskie
    12 other games today, including the Yankees hosting Tampa Bay. The $200 million Yankees are sending out CARL PAVANO as their Opening Day starter. Come on, stop laughing. I'm serious.
  8. Bruce Ciskie
    Sorry. We're stuck. As far as I know, that's the only station up here carrying the games.

    If someone could help me make sure that nothing good happens until around 1:30 or so (when I will be getting home), that would be great. Thanks! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/happy.gif

    Wow. Tuned in last night just in time to see a .211 hitter hit a grand slam. Tuned in tonight just in time to see...well, that. Argh. See you guys next year. Thank goodness for football.
  11. Bruce Ciskie
    Could be worse. Here in the Duluth area, we get some combination of Yankees/Red Sox/White Sox/Mets/Cubs/Cardinals every week. When people whine about the selections for games on ESPN, I always point them to FOX, which is no better. MLB is incredibly stupid in this regard, even moreso than the NHL.
  12. Bruce Ciskie
    Good. I hope he sticks around for the rest of the series so he can see how brutal things are quickly becoming. By the way, nice job by Brady Clark swinging at a pitch that would have been high on the Big Show. Great way to close things out tonight.
  13. Bruce Ciskie
    Further evidence that it may be time for a change. As nice a guy as I'm sure Ned Yost is, I'm pretty sure that the front office isn't going to put up with this ridiculous play forever, and they can't fire all the players...as the cliche goes.
  14. Bruce Ciskie
    So I know I've ragged on the umps a good deal lately, but how in the name of Angel Miranda was that 3-0 pitch to Bell a strike? Did Gonzalez "earn" that pitch with his stellar first three pitches, which were mainly Turnbow-esque in their accuracy?
  15. Bruce Ciskie
    It might be "six of one and half a dozen of the other", but the common sense move is to not tempt fate with McCann and take your shot at Francoeur, who would probably swing at a pitch that you rolled to the plate.
  16. Bruce Ciskie
    Are you saying that managers only call for intentional walks when they don't trust the pitcher to pitch around the hitter? Because if you're saying that, it's a ridiculous argument. Yes, Wise screwed up, but he shouldn't have been in a position to screw up. He either shouldn't have been pitching to that hitter, or he should have been throwing one six feet outside on purpose. But, yeah, Wise messed up, and that sucks.
  17. Bruce Ciskie
    Well, he could have saved us all a ton of pain, and two runs, by calling for an intentional walk when the count went to 3-1.
  18. Bruce Ciskie
    Thanks for the clarification on the baseline thing. I was unaware. Why not just walk the guy? I know you want to trust your pitchers, but if you get to 3-1 on a pretty good hitter that you're trying to pitch around, isn't it high time for the catcher to stand up and stick his glove out?
  19. Bruce Ciskie
    So...what's the excuse this time? Why are they pitching to McCann with first base open? Why, if they want to pitch to McCann, is Shouse not the one doing it? Ned Yost...ugh.
  20. Bruce Ciskie
    Just another lead for the Atlanta bullpen to blow. (OMG POSITIVITY!)
  21. Bruce Ciskie
    The only well-hit ball is the only out so far. Go figure. I'm just glad I didn't have to listen to a ten-minute speech about the heart and soul of Marcus Giles after that ducksnort he dropped into left field to lead off the inning.
  22. Bruce Ciskie
    So...if Renteria is running out of the baseline, why isn't he out? EDIT: This isn't to excuse Graffanino, who apparently felt like he had to make up for the big hit in the top of the inning. Maybe he forgot he wasn't in Kansas City, where failure to make up for a big hit with a dopey play in the field would probably get you a date with the kangaroo court.
  23. Bruce Ciskie
    Sorry, but the pitch in question wasn't anywhere near the edge of the strike zone. In fact, you probably could have fit another baseball in between the location of Turnbow's pitch and the "edge" of the strike zone. Bill and Daron hemming and hawing? NO!
  24. Bruce Ciskie
    100%. I was informed on Friday that Turnbow didn't "earn" that 3-2 pitch to Jones, as if the fact that it was right above the knees and over the inner half of the plate is somehow forgotten because Turnbow had the audacity to walk the leadoff hitter.
  25. Bruce Ciskie
    You missed the conversation from late in Friday's game, eh? Sorry. I should have referenced it.
