I hoped everybody took a good look at our Ace today and realized what kind of ball player Ben Sheets really is. His curve ball looked great, his fast ball couldn't be hit, and his confidence made him seem untouchable. I admit, I was a skeptic last year, but when Ben Sheets is healthy, he is among the best in league. Maybe what Ben needed was catcher that could call a game. When Ben was interviewed after the game he mentioned his apprehension to allowing catchers to the call game, and it was until around the fourth inning that he finally surrendered to Kendall's zen like decisions behind home plate. I think this is the relationship that Ben needs in order for him to reach his true potential. A pitcher and a catcher are almost like a husband and wife, when it's good it's good, and when it's bad it's bad.
