[LVTwinsfan]

Still, 68 pitches through 6, hope Jake is watching

[LVTwinsfan]

What's your call now?

 

call to the bullpen?

[Nine of twelve]

 

Cave just made 2 outs in the same inning. Bet that doesn't feel great

Tying a record held by many.

[ashbury]

call to the bullpen?

I believe Maeda is nowhere close to 100 pitches, so I can't think of an indicator saying to pull him. Let the bullpen be spectators for as long as possible, in a laugher.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

What did I miss?

2 Buxton home runs?

 

Um, a few walks, a few runs.

 

A little of this, a little of that.

 

Some organ music. I forget, has Chief told the 50 year old joke yet?

[DocBauer]

2 Buxton home runs?

 

Um, a few walks, a few runs.

 

A little of this, a little of that.

Nope. Fell asleep

[sampleSizeOfOne]

The hits keep a'comin'!

[Nine of twelve]

 

Agreed! Some Bach would be great!

Not purely correct because it's synthesized but this is one of my favorites. I've thought that Eddie Van Halen should work up a guitar solo of this.

yeah I was joking, I agree, leave him in

A 50 year old joke would be from 1970. I remember 1970. Oy.
 

[LVTwinsfan]

Thorpe? How is he still here

[Darius]

This game is just what the doctor ordered. A couple of hits for Garver. Buxton continuing his breakout into superstardom. Sano with good ABs and a HR. A good start from a starting pitcher.

 

It’s time to get Buxton up near the top of this lineup. Dude is on fire, showing everyone that doubted him why he was so highly touted. I still remember Thrylos demanding a trade to make room for Zach Granite.

[LVTwinsfan]

Atta Buck

[DocBauer]

Love Maeda getting the 7th. Right move! Still get 2 innings for someone to get work in.

[IndianaTwin]

 

Only reason he doesn't go 7 is to get guys work, IMO. Though it was mentioned limiting the Brewers seeing him more since his next start will be against them.

 

Though if they’d pulled him after six, he would be more likely to come back Monday against Kansas City. 

[snotboogie]

I don't know. I still think I like to watch Buck running around the bases more than chasing down a fly ball.

My collection of 1970s albums caught fire. It was a Disco Inferno!

FTFY

[bighat]

Get one out here Lewis. Give Maeda the QS.

[Danchat]

Darn, Maeda almost got 7 innings. But still a great outing, and hopefully Thorpe won't immediately let those two runners in...

[LVTwinsfan]

Virtual standing ovation for Maeda

[snotboogie]

I really like Maeda.

I would have burned them in the 70’s

Burn, baby, burn!

He didn't!

 

[Mill1634]

Fantastic outing from Maeda. Exactly what we needed after throwing a bullpen game yesterday, and it helps that the offense ended this one early

[ashbury]

Burn, baby, burn!

I went to a karaoke bar yesterday. It was 70s night but they didn't provide any lyrics, it was all by memory. At first I was afraid. I was petrified. But I survived.

 

[Vanimal46]

The Brewers might as well bunt on the first pitch. They want to make it home at a reasonable hour.

[IndianaTwin]

 

BTW, anyone catch the recent report that Hill is looking and feeling great and chomping at the bit to get back on the mound?

Good news!

 

Yes. Good news. I’m guessing one more bullpen game next Monday or Tuesday, with Maeda pitching the other. The next time through, it will be Hill.

 

Has there been any word on how they plan to use Pineda? Assuming health, I could see either a couple rounds of six-man rotations or adding him to the bullpen mix. We’re now more than halfway through the 2020 portion of the suspension.

You go Gloria!
