Game Thread Twins vs. Brewers @ 4:10 PM PST (6:10 PM CDT) 5/27/2019

This is where I get nervous about this roster... not sure I trust Harper with a one run lead. Hopefully we'll get some more support from the bats as well.

[FlauerPauer]

Duffman or Littell when Cruz comes back. Astudillo when Garver comes back.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Send a reliever down.

the relievers with options are the ones pitching well...

[wabene]

Here comes Mr Rogers

DFA Adrianza is always an option too, but he's not playing terrible. .8 WAR according to Baseball Reference. 

[mrtwinsfan]

One pitch Again, same the other day,, Gotta keep him in here for next inning this time,

[gil4]

Kepler almost played that fly ball like he was on the White Sox.

At one point I thought Adrianza's time with the Twins was nearing an end, but he's hit really well for the last month and probably keeps his spot. My guess is Astudillo gets optioned in the next week (when Garver gets back), he's really been struggling with the bat since he came off the IL.

Jack Morris has actually been pleasant to listen to. Maybe he's just happy that he gets to cover a good team finally?

 

Whatever the case may be, I've surprisingly really enjoyed listening to Morris these past couple of days. Much more positive than before, less complaining.

I think they can find a trade partner for Adrianza, probably only for cash, but like you say, he has positive value, even if surprising.

It seems like he's been a bit better about doing his homework or knowing how the players are doing than I remember Jack, who usually is full of war stories and generic observations.  That's probably easier for him to do with the club winning.

Gotta be kidding me

[70charger]

Oh that's not good.

[ScrapTheNickname]

They can't do that to US!

[mrtwinsfan]

Oh boy, We do need a walkoff win- Good Game!!!!!

[operation mindcrime]

I feel ill!!!!!

When he's not calling for purpose pitches against his own team, that is.

[LVTwinsfan]

Rogers doesn’t have it tonight

[mrtwinsfan]

Brew Crew looking a bit tougher than the Whities from Chi.

Bremer is still annoying though, talking about Rogers like he just gonna blow away five batters , then as if on cue he gives up two big hits

[ScrapTheNickname]

Brother Oswaldo (has anyone mentioned him?) is still only 28 years old, and playing baseball in Oaxaca, Mexico of all places. At least he must be having an interesting time with his family - as I recall he has a couple of kids.

Brewers have a good chance to steal this one. Rogers threw a fat one to Arcia and he barrelled it. Stuff happens, and the Twins have been so dominant that this seems rare. I do want to see what happens when they face Hader.

He hasn't been great behind the plate tonight, either.

Here comes Josh Hader.

 

Lights out boys.

I don't know if I'd call it steal.  A one-run game is totally winnable against our bullpen in spite of their (perhaps illusory) success this year.

[ScrapTheNickname]

Let's go Prohibition on these damned brewers!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Oh boy!

 

What we gonna do in response?
