Sheets at 85 pitches.

It’s as if Yost wants him to go back on the DL.

From what I've gathered (and I'm sure one of our guests will correct me)...

...Ned Yost is not particularly attentive to such things in general.

I has a blog.

Braun bunt single

Wish we were

taking advantage of a bad start from Sheets

by VillanuevaExperience on Apr 29, 2008 8:55 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Huh?

They have four runs in four innings. I think they are taking advantage of it.

The problem is Marquis isn’t holding up his end of the bargain.

by Not Bruce Froemming on Apr 29, 2008 8:56 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs
