4/29 Brewers (Sheets) @ Cubs (Marquis) 7:05 CSN

[Little Slide Rooter]

Sheets is never going to get Brian Cashman to make an incredibly stupid move next Winter is he keeps walking guys. I shouldnt say that, he probably will anyway.

[AlwaysaCub]

I'd love to get a big hit from Fukudome here.

 

Yeah, and at the same time he should take a baseball bat to the junk of the SI curse.

[Banedon]

Sheets pounding the strike zone

 

He says right before the 2 walks.

[Roast]

IF YOU HIT KOSUKE WE'RE GONNA HAVE BEEF, SHEETS.

[weatherdood]

Ugh

[weis21]

UH-OH! Sheet's worst nightmare!

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Damn!

[Banedon]

Sheets on a pitch count. Brewers bullpen is horrible. And Sheets is already over 20 pitches, with the majority of them outside the strike zone. I'm not sure why all the negativity.

[SouthSideRyan]

The dropped 3rd strike rule is needed so that teams have to employ a catcher in all instances. Otherwise you get an extra defender and just let the ball bounce off the ump.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

At least we got him to throw 22 pitches.

[haubrich91]

I would've loved for us to get on him early.

That was mostly after both 2 pitch outs leading off the inning

Len said that Sheets is NOT on a pitch count

[weis21]

At least we made him work

Wouldn't it be easier to require someone man the catcher position?

[radarluv1]

unbelievable dumb play by the reds in stl. 2nd(keppinger) and 3rd(cpatt) one out, grounder to third results in rundown between home and 3rd for cpatt. cpatt gets chased back to 3rd, but keppinger is standing on the bag. cpatt knows he's out and heads to the dugout, keppinger inexplicably leaves 3rd base and runs to second. molina is like 5 ft away with the ball, throws to 2nd, inning over.

:banghead:

Well of course Yost will say that. He doesn't want the Cubs to be counting on it. But on a cold night like this, he's on a pitch count.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Damn.

[weatherdood]

Hardy singles to lead off the 2nd

He still threw more balls than strikes in the inning. That's not good.

I just literally laughed out loud in class. That could only have happened on a Dusty Baker team.

[Banedon]

Now I won't criticize anyone for being negative about Marquis and our chances because of him.

[weatherdood]

Sheets sacrifices, Hardy to 2nd
