Article: Game Thread: Twins v Brewers, 5/18 @ 7:10pm CT

[Platoon]

Dinner for Chief and Mrs Chief tonight willfully be: a shared ribeye on the grill, baked squash, stuffed shells, a salad from the garden, black box pinot noir.

 

perhaps some Schwan's ice cream for desert.

We tried sharing a ribeye on the grill, but just once. It was too crowded and it left grill marks on my butt!

YEP

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Wisconsin has cheese and beer.

 

More than enough justification!

 

Call the militia!

 

Good job, RB!

when the TD militia invades, please leave my house intact.

 

 

 

Please?

 

 

I’ve been providing advanced reconnaissance for years....

 

 

 

 

Please?

[USAFChief]

 

Sharpie.

yup, that wsnydes is smart all right.

[Aggies7]

When is buxton going to start contributing offensively? Is it going to happen this year?

[Riverbrian]

 

ND has tourism?

 

Yes but the lines to get in are very manageable.

Sadly, that looks like a no.

 

Dude can't hit a spinner to save his life. Sad to see. 

[Aggies7]

That is absolutely shameful to not score there

[bighat]

2nd and 3rd, nobody out, and they're not gonna score. Buxton back to being a headcase in the box, and almost an automatic K in pressure situations. Unfortunate.

[Aggies7]

Morneau said it best regarding buxton and his attempt at a bunt in that situation. Zero confidence

[twinsbaby]

DFA Buxton, please.

Buxton is awful right now. Everyone in that stadium knew he was going to strike out. He's got further to fall before he hits rock bottom, but it's getting close. Could mean another demotion to AAA in a week or two.

[twins_89]

Buxton should still be doing a rehab assignment in AAA. He is completely lost at the plate. I'd also say it's time to give Nick Gordon a shot at SS. It's hard to score when your lineup has 4 guys who are complete non threats at the plate.

[USAFChief]

I expected that from Buxton. Not a major league plate appearance. Been too many of those.

 

Grossman's tap back to the pitcher with no outs was bad too.

[OldTimeTwinkie]

Awfully hard to contend without major league depth. Grossman, Adrianna, Wilson and then there is Buxton.

It sure was. Situational hitting has just not been there all year

No defensive contribution can make up for a .400 OPS. 

[Aggies7]

Look what a better than mediocre team does with a leadoff double and then a man at 3rd with less than two outs

[Mill1634]

Good teams produce with a man on 2nd and 3rd and no outs. Not only do they get one run, but typically they're getting at least two.

 

Bad teams are not scoring in that situation. 

 

Take that how you want.

[Aggies7]

Goodnight Irene. Any good Netflix docs out there?

[Mill1634]

Well might be time to go do something else with my Friday night.

 

Was hoping for a bounceback series. 

[USAFChief]

Also a shame that Kepler's single was inches from being a 2 r HR.

[wsnydes]

Can we get the new old Gibson back?

Thankfully, the letdown of that not being a homer was greatly lessened by the absolute moonshot Gibson just allowed

Subliminal Messages from a Canadian is kinda dangerous. 

[Aggies7]

Quietly 58 pitches and Kyle has gotten 8 outs

That home run wasn't all that quiet...
