Game 65 - Twins vs Brewers - 6/17/12

[glunn]

Willingham will now get a chance to redeem himself -- let's hope that he can Hammer one.

[Vegeta]

Not only that but Revere while lacking power is still carrying over .333+ Avg , give him a runner on 2nd and a chance to be the hero

[glunn]

Brewers will be wise to pitch around Plouffe here.

[mikeee]

A walk off from Plouffe would be good.

A walk off from Plouffe would be good.

At least he got on -- now time for Doumit to redeem himself.

Look out folks! I live a few miles west of the park, and it is raining big-time now.

That would be good for me -- I have to leave in 10 minutes to get a haircut.

[glunn]

Great call on the rain, sb.

[mikeee]

Guess that will be it for Dunsing after (because of) the delay...

[Scheherezade]

How many runs has Revere saved with his glove tonight? At least 2, potentially 3 or 4.

 

Also, it looks like Jeff Grey is our 12th inning specialist.

[mikeee]

I was sort of afraid it would be gray in the 12th.

Give Gray credit -- ge got through his inning.

Is there a major league team that runs the bases worse than your Minnesota Twins?

 

For that matter, is there a little league team that runs the bases worse than the Minnesota Twins?

 

Can we put an end to the Liddle as third base coach fiasco? He gives Plouffe the stop sign 30 feet down the line.

[snepp]

Is there a major league play by play guy that does a worse job of describing what's happening on the field than Dan Gladden?

 

 

For the love of all that's good in the game of baseball, keep him away from PbP duties. His performance at the end of the game was beyond atrocious.

I just logged on to see what's going on. You'd never know the Twins won the game, after shutout ball from the bullpen for inning after inning, with all the Gloomy Guses here.

As they told me in the navy, "A griping sailor is a happy sailor."

Agreed. And Jeff Gray deserves a huge amount of respect for his heroic performance.

[Chance]

anybody who has been on here complaining about Gray needs to at least give him this one. Come on guys he went 3 scoreless innings throwing 54 pitches. He does a hell of a job when the games on the line. He isn't flashy but he and revere are the reasons why we had the opportunity to win this game.

[joelindell]

I agree; Gray's innings were very valuable. It was a fun game to watch in person, and I stayed until the end.

 

Today, I wrote a blog post about a similar game I attended in 2004, where the Twins beat the Mets 3-2 in 15 innings at the Metrodome: http://www.twinsdaily.com/entry.php?1317-Looking-back-at-another-15-inning-win
