Game Thread: Brewers@Twins 6/5 7:10PM

[cmathewson]

Another stellar game from Correia and Burton. Can't wait to jettison them. But, we are paying them a lot of money to suck the life out of the team. So we must continue to let them do that.

[Guest USAFChief]

Right field is so unfair to hitters at TF.

[Squirrel]

Just got home, turned on the game, and Burton gives up a 2-run HR. sigh.

[Gibby]

Gomez is hilarious.

[Mike Sixel]

Burton, KC, Guerrier, Kubel.....all should be gone. But they just love bad veterans.

[Squirrel]

And what's the word on Arcia?

[Guest USAFChief]

And what's the word on Arcia?

Sprained ankle, kicking Correia's ass.

[Squirrel]

Sprained ankle, kicking Correia's ass.

Ugh. DL'd?

[Gibby]

And what's the word on Arcia?

 

Sprained ankle. A female basketball player would be back in 4 days, so Arcia will be back in 4 to 6 weeks.

[Guest USAFChief]

Ugh. DL'd?

Don't be silly.

[ashbury]

Just got home, turned on the game, and Burton gives up a 2-run HR. sigh.

 

You know the rules. Go out and come back in again.

[Gibby]

Don't be silly.

 

You sound just like your Mother.

[ashbury]

Ugh. DL'd?

 

Yes, the 15-day Day-to-day List.

[D. Hocking]

Yes, the 15-day Day-to-day List.

 

DL decision to come in 12 days.

[Puckett34]

Ugh. DL'd?

Well, not riiiiight away. He'll probably sit a few days, play a game or two, sit a few more days, play one more game, then hit the DL

[Trevor0333]

This stage should soon be reserved for the likes of Meyer already being on a IP limit to get some good experience & confidence in low leverage situations for next year.

 

I don't understand how this doesnt happen more often.

[Trevor0333]

DL decision to come in 12 days.

 

Im sad I lol'd at this.

[JB_Iowa]

Well, ugh ... there goes .500.

[Ultima Ratio]

I don't know how to look this up, but how often do you suppose a team hits a grand slam and still loses the game?

 

1% I bet.

[Trevor0333]

This was a ridiculous loss.

[glunn]

Well, ugh ... there goes .500.

 

Be optimistic. The Astros come next, and they are not a good team.

[LaBombo]

Yes, the 15-day Day-to-day List.

 

.jpg of your doctor school diploma did not post, so edit or, with all due respect, maybe delete.

 

Oh, wait...

 

Now I get it.

[Mike Sixel]

Houston is 7-3 since they did this bizarre thing where you start jettisoning bad old players for good young players.

[LaBombo]

Be optimistic. The Astros come next, and they were not a good team before tonight's draft.

 

 

 

J/k. But yes, the Astros were the aft bookend in Pseudo's excellent "Sink or Swim" thread for a good reason.

[clank2000]

This was a ridiculous loss.

 

...and totally preventable

[Beezer07]

Man, the debbie downers are out in full force tonight!

 

Looking forward to a series against a team that isn't good. About time!

[Guest USAFChief]

I knew this loss reminded me of a (possibly alcohol aided) rant I went on last year:

The loss tonight should go down as "manager's decision."

[LaBombo]

Just got home, turned on the game, and Burton gives up a 2-run HR. sigh.

Courageous to fess up. At least now the most ardent Gardy faithful will have a reason to let him off the hook. Salvation is just a late tune-in walkoff HR away vs Stro's tomorrow. Please don't be late!

[snepp]

Be optimistic. The Astros come next, and they are not a good team.

 

But they've been playing some of the best ball in the league over the last 3+ weeks, on a 15-9 stretch.

[LaBombo]

You know it's on Gardy when he's furious about any strategy questions in the postgame. "Come on, Phil. Were you watching the game?" Early cut back to what's his Fox... 'Some losses are really tough to take'
