Is it just me or has Sheets not been able to finish guys off lately? A lot of 8-9-10 pitch ABs where the hitter fouls off a bunch and then gets an xtra base hit or walk.
After we traded him I never thought I'd prefer Burnitz in RF to who we have there now. Just another case of a guy excelling after leaving Milwaukee...Rusch, Grissom, Burnie, Belliard, Loretta, Valentin...what gives? Is Milwaukee really that bad?
I think Sheets is something like 1-7 in his last 8 decision against the Cubs, after starting something like 8-0. So hopefully the recent trend does NOT continue and Big Ben gets back to kicking some Cubby butts.
Ben Sheets (3-6, 3.6http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/glasses.gif looks to find his old form that allowed him to dominate the Chicago Cubs at the beginning of his career. Meanwhile, Kerry Wood (1-1, 6.16) will try to pitch 5 innings without his arm falling off. We need this one real bad. Derek Lee + Aramis Ramirez HR predictions anyone?
wonder why we released him. probably because of the glut of MI we have down in AAA right now. I was hoping to see Matt in Milwaukee sometime this year again, good luck to him.
