Game 39 - Twins @ Brewers - 5/19/12

Hopefully the Twins can stretch this inning out a bit. Get Gallardo outta there and get into the pen.

Good thinking -- their pen should be tired after last night.

I am at work now and recording the game at home. Is Pavano pitching as well as it appears from the box score?

He's pitching better than he had the last few starts, but the defense has made some big plays behind him too.

Seems like the Twins are infecting their opponents lately with the error bug. I like it

Actually, I may have sold Pavano a little short there. He is pitching very well, getting ahead of hitters and keeping the ball down (for the most part).

Dozier gets the job done again with his second sac fly.

Casilla owes 100 pushups for that at bat. No reason not to work the count. Ya Pavano has pitched well today. Working fast which is to his benefit.

Iron man Mauer needs a day off after the only game all year he actually came close to earning his paycheck???? Does he have bi-lateral weakness from counting his money? If he is sooo good he should be playing 1B against a RH starter.

My guess is Mauer asked Gardy to take him out of the lineup since the BrewCrew has a front line starter on the mound and he doesn't want to put his precious OBP on the line against any top pitcher.

My guess is you don't like Joe Mauer much, make no bones about it and it kind of makes most of what you say meaningless.

Great at bat by Dozier. Questionable strike call did not phase him, fouls off some tough pitches at 0-2 and generates the sac fly. That is not the at bat of a rookie.

Good game for Pavano. Nice low pitch count and doing well.

[Shane Wahl]

Revere and Dozier are going to be Gardy favorites, and rightfully so. I would like to see Willingham DH a few times a week as well as Morneau, with Mauer and Doumit DH-ing the rest. A pretty consistent roster rotation could keep guys fresh, give the prospect Revere 4 starts a week, maintain speed and power balance, and basically keep the guys up, up (it comes down to Plouffe vs. Valencia . . . or Burroughs . . .). Develop every other prospect at Rochester, save for Hendriks (maybe).

Have I ever mentioned I like Brian Dozier.

We have ourselves a shortstop my friends.

Pavano's day is done. Really encouraging outing by him today though....hopefully he can build on it the next time out.

[Vegeta]

I like what I have seen outta Revere so far. Hope he can keep it going.

[mikeee]

I want to see Revere get another double and clear those bags!

[mikeee]

Does the pitcher get that RBI??


lol

[Vegeta]

Ouch taking one for the team there

[mikeee]

Clear the bases hammer!!!!

Not gonna lie. I have been watching the chick in the front row behind home plate. The one sitting above the O in brewers.com. She was there last night too. I am surprised Diamond didn't give up more runs.

I noticed her as well... I forget to watch the game at times.
