GREG MADDUX vs. BEN SHEETS
 
Future Hall of Famer Greg Maddux will face arguably one of the best young pitchers in the game tonight in Ben Sheets as the Brewers and Cubs face off in game two of a four game set.
 
Greg Maddux will sink, cut, and tail his fastball all night. If he can hit spots with his fastball it's difficult to beat him. His offspeed stuff is good, but it's not unhittable. It's really amazing to think of what Maddux has done in his career with a fastball that sits from about 85-88.
 
Ben Sheets will throw gas. He'll be low to mid 90s and will use his curveball, which very well might be the best curveball in the game. Sheets has been giving up the longball a little more in his last few starts. He doesn't walk people, and this is usually the part where I quote my pitching coach from my freshman year of college, Josh Belovsky who would say "nobody gets beat on solo jacks". Well Belo, you were wrong, the Milwaukee Brewers get beat on solo jacks all the time.
