Game Thread: Twins @ Milwaukee Brewers @ 7:10 pm CT

[David HK]

Gee, if we traded Byron Buxton for Keon Broxton, they could save some $ altering the jersey...

[jun]

Morrison and Wilson should be released.

When Motter comes back from DL, he should be released.

Adrianza will be back from DL soon.

Vargas should be recalled since he can't be any worse than Morrison.

Anyone can play first base, they might as well call up Sawyer if they don't want to call up Vargas.

[h2oface]

That pitch Villar had no business hitting. Perfect location down and away but a strike.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

So so demoralizing.

 

Every damn pitcher on this team gives up runs immediately after a nice inning by the offense.

[Danchat]

 

What happened to Rosario having a good arm? He's been off target so much this year.

He does have a good arm strength-wise, but his accuracy can be atrocious at times. He consistently missed the cut-off man at least 8-10 times last season.

[David HK]

 

"... Though the lead seemed dauntingly large, the doggedly determined Twins pitching staff set about the wearying task of erasing all traces of it." 

Lardner? That you?

[Aggies7]

What a team, I’ll tell ya.

[alskntwnsfn]

I think Joe West upheld the call out of pure spite for instant replay.

[h2oface]

65 pitches in the 5th..... what to do....

[S.]

 

"... Though the lead seemed dauntingly large, the doggedly determined Twins pitching staff set about the wearying task of erasing all traces of it."

Dozier deserves some of the blame on the single too. Waiting on the second hop on that is bush league.

Yeah, I just don't remember it being this constant. Seems like he's made 5 awful throws in the last 2 weeks alone.

[David HK]

 

Morrison and Wilson should be released.

When Motter comes back from DL, he should be released.

Adrianza will be back from DL soon.

Vargas should be recalled since he can't be any worse than Morrison.

Yes. 

 

But, we should most definitely keep Wilson on the roster, and keep calling up catchers from Roch to play them in other postitions.

I like the thrift angle, but it looks to me as though by the time the All Star Game rolls around, there will be nobody left to care about the spelling of the names on the jerseys besides the families of the players.

[Aggies7]

That was a bullet

[h2oface]

Ok... double play grounder and we are back at bat!

[David HK]

I don't know what's worse-  

 

Gibby turning back into Mr. Nibbles,

 

Or Dick's announcement that Belisle is getting loose...

[Aggies7]

Nibble nibble nibbleeeee

[LaBombo]

Agreed. But they're also the 6th worst team in baseball. I'm confident that there will be plenty of blame to go around before it's all over.

Motter should be released while on the DL!

[David HK]

Does Gibby have a "shine" ball?

[h2oface]

Great strikeout pitch! Perfect location inside.

[Aggies7]

Sigh

[Aggies7]

Stop ****ing nibbling to this guy

[LaBombo]

 

Lardner? That you?

 

Good guess, but my true identity must unfortunately remain a mystery...

... owing to some misunderstandings over legal trivialities.

 

[Nine of twelve]

That's what can happen when a non-third baseman plays third base. Seemed like he didn't look it into his glove.

[Aggies7]

I can’t believe how much this has unraveled. Usually a 2 out grand slam will bury an opponent. Not so with these bums.

 

That was almost a big swinging salami

[Danchat]

Wow, that was nearly a complete catastrophe there. Orf just missed that one.

[Nine of twelve]

Yikes.

[LaBombo]

 

I don't know what's worse-  

 

Gibby turning back into Mr. Nibbles,

 

Or Dick's announcement that Belisle is getting loose...

 

We can only hope that the Belisle update is breaking news about our bullpen's elder statesman hanging up his cleats and embarking on his new career as celebrity spokesperson for Fiber One bars.

[LaBombo]

 

Wow, that was nearly a complete catastrophe there. 

 

No worries, this pitching staff has at least two or three more catastrophes in it.

[Aggies7]

The brewers telecast also has a pizza ranch commercial which must mean pizza ranch is a regional chain. And we know how bad regional chain pizzerias are
