Game Thread 8/20: Milwaukee Brewers (11-11) @ Minnesota Twins (16-9) 6:10pmCT

Just some bad RISP today... er, we're actually 3 for 5 in RISP, but have only scored 1 run. Yuck!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Oh well.

 

Double plays happen.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

 

Two consecutive innings with 3 hits each, and ... no scoring. 

You think we can't make that 3?

[LVTwinsfan]

Sano has deceptive speed

[MVP Nick Punto]

YOOOO, T-Wolves #1 DRAFT PICK

Too bad it's a relatively weak draft class.

[Mill1634]

JO through 6 scoreless...88 pitches....I think Rocco will send him out, but I never know with him

[Aggies7]

Excellent job by Jose

[sampleSizeOfOne]

At this rate, in about 52 days he'll be hitting 0mph singles!

Less time than that if he gets a few more at bats each game and plays every day.

[DocBauer]

I think Rocco pulls Berrios at this point. Great pen, 80 pitches, want him to leave the game feeling super confident. And Rocco seems to be playing things pretty conservative these days.

 

Of course, a clutch hit or 2 here would make the game easier.

I would hate to pull a guy who’s been a lights out for six innings in a 1-0 game

[Sielk]

Great AB by Sano there.

[Nine of twelve]

 

YOOOO, T-Wolves #1 DRAFT PICK

That means that this time when they choose the wrong player (as they almost always do) it will be an even bigger mistake than usual.

[stringer bell]

Let’s break it open!

[Mill1634]

Gotta get at least one here

[MNT1996]

Will the Twins find a way to get another hit and not score this inning?

[Aggies7]

Uh oh they have us right where they want us

[MVP Nick Punto]

We need to snake Greg Popovich from SA before the draft.

[stringer bell]

Really interesting game. The Twins have made contact and got hits, but haven’t put many runs on the board. I think they’re getting close to breaking out of their team hitting slump.

[DocBauer]

Time to break this game open and bury the Brewers!

[USAFChief]

What a god awful AB from Adrianza. Terrible. Easy pitch to hit on 2-1, takes a bad swing, then a terrible swing on a ball.

[PDX Twin]

Bottom of the order does not inspire confidence...

[Mill1634]

Vargas with another good piece to get the run in...needed that. Would like 1 (or 3) more

[Mill1634]

Bad time for Jeffers to ruin his 1.000 average

[Aggies7]

If this turns out to be a loss, it would be the most deserved loss imaginable

[MNT1996]

Well one is better than none

[USAFChief]

 

Great AB PA by Sano there.

[Mill1634]

Kind of surprised to see Berrios pulled after such a good start and less than 90 pitches

[LVTwinsfan]

If this turns out to be a loss, it would be the most deserved loss imaginable

deserved loss? No. This games about pitching

[PDX Twin]

I don't want to see Rogers tonight.
