Please, let's split this one. Ok?
Ben Sheets takes the hill for us, and Jay Bergmann goes for the other guys.

Yay Ned for changing the strategy you do that works!
2B Rickie Weeks
CF Mike Cameron
LF Ryan Braun
1B Prince Fielder
RF Corey Hart
3B Russell Branyan
SS J.J. Hardy
C Jason Kendall
RHP Ben Sheets
I take back everything I’ve ever said about Ned having an open mind about statistics and new analysis.
Whenever prince is at first, he should charge the mound and yell "MEAT!"

Bens Bat
Did you not see Bens bat last game? It’s awake and ready to knock in some runners.

My favorite part of this move is his comment that hitting the pitcher 8th was working, but not as well as he'd hoped.
So clearly, a change was necessary. It’s sort of like when you buy a purported 300yd driver, which adds 40yds to your drives, but doesn’t get you all the way to 300yds, and you snap it over your knee in frustration. It makes TOTAL sense.

Hardy
And yet he’s quick to jump on JJ for when he says he did better in his spot last year and doesnt like where he’s at now. “Oh well thats something JJ really needs to correct, he should do somethin about blah blah blah”

Whatever...
It Probably will make a difference, I bet Benny will end up leading off a few innings. You never want that to happen.

95 mph for Sheets
but the Nats radar gun has seemed a bit fast this series.

Get your Prince Fielder action figures!
Now, with warning track power!

Sheets getting hit hard today
I guess it says something when he is, but has only given up two runs and its the sixth.

Jerry Meals, HP ump calls strike for a ball over the opposite batters box
Another ball is called a strike, but Corey ends up singling on a grounder.

maybe not down by 2 runs
hoping for a bigger rally

I’d almost consider pinch-hitting the LH Counsell here. Rickie hasn’t looked good today.

lead off runner - dare I hope? Brauny and Fielder to follow
Cam with a steal on the first pitch as well
by ol Pete on May 26, 2008 2:40 PM CDT 0 recs
Cameron
why steal? we both know Braun can’t hit with RISP:P You have a better chance scoring from first on a double than Braun can get a hit with RISP. Steal during Hart’s AB.

that'll work
when i saw “in play run(s)” I was hoping it was a homer;)

Terrible call
Ball hit off top of the wall. Umpires met and changed it to a home run. It wasn’t.

Looked like it hit the metal area above the wall. Close call though.

How many of these...
Close calls on home runs have their been in the last two weeks? You paying attention, Bud Selig? Maybe if it contributes to a Brewers loss, then you’ll finally change your stance.

Branyan due for a bomb
He hasn’t had one in six major league at-bats this year. Clearly, it’s on its way.

Dillard
looks wild, at least by gameday patterns.

He is playing 3B today in Memphis. When do you think he gets a shot at the hot corner for the big club?

last inning...
for Villy
assuming we can get someone on this next inning.
by PagsBrewCrew on May 26, 2008 3:21 PM CDT 0 recs
villy only had 12 pitches into the 10th
he’s good for at least two or three more innings
Let’s not forget that CV “failed” as a starter because his manager stubbornly refuses to accept that CV pitches well for the first 70 pitches, THEN like clockwork the bottom falls out. I’m not a numbers guy, but that historical trend should be obvious even to our cretinous manager.

Agreed.
He is pitching great. Good to see. I think that is going to be his role for a while.

if we don't get anyone on base
Villy gets to pitch one more
if we do get someone on, my guess is they’ll burn Torres
