GAME THREAD: 4/3/21 Minnesota Twins @ Milwaukee Brewers, 6:10 CDT

We can only hope.

You can't stop Chief, you can only hope to contaminate him.

 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Buxton is facing the shift.  I wonder if it ever crosses his mind to try and push a bunt past the pitcher.  Who knows he may even turn it into a double.  Just wondering.

What about a triple?

[Nine of twelve]

I'm thinking about this game. I remember it as if it happened 16 years ago.

Contact. Thanks Kepler.

 

Into the shift. Thanks Kepler.

Anybody tuning into the game at this point, expecting it to be the 3rd inning or so, needs to hurry...

[Nine of twelve]

Dick with the effective anti-jinx.

[ashbury]

Good job Jake!

[Diesel]

attaboy Cave

[Nine of twelve]

Let's see if Cave can get into scoring position. In this game, that means touching home plate.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

If the pitch is outside the strike zone, but still manages to hit me in the beard, is it still a HBP?

A good lead off of third, and the beard does the rest

I know the story behind your user name, but I was actually at that Jacque Jones game

[ashbury]

The Beard must be feard.

[ashbury]

Bradley on that breaking pitch looked like me, the summer before I got glasses.

 

Also, the summers after. The other three seasons each year too.

As for me,

 

[DocBauer]

Grilling and supper and clean up done...what I have I missed besides a pair of almost no hitters through almost 5 and a great defensive play by Arraez who supposedly can't play defense?

[DocBauer]

Hello gang!

[Dave The Dastardly]

 

If the pitch is outside the strike zone, but still manages to hit me in the beard, is it still a HBP?

I think it would be ruled a close shave.

[DocBauer]

I don't know about you guys, but I'd like to keep this Berrios kid around for a few more years.

[USAFChief]

 

I think it would be ruled a close shave.

[ashbury]

Grilling and supper and clean up done...what I have I missed

One bratwurst that slipped off the grill, but the dog took care of it.

 

[stringer bell]

And the hitters are 0-30 with two HBP thru 10 innings of hitting. 19 Ks.

[ashbury]

I think it would be ruled a close shave.

Congrats. You got what everyone else walked right past.

Sorry, Justin, but the zone is huge.

[LVTwinsfan]

Yes pitchers duels can be considered boring, which is the absolute beauty of baseball

[Nine of twelve]

 

If you ever have someone ask why baseball is dying, show them the past inning and a half. My god. 

Everyone is entitled to his or her opinion, and now everyone will be entitled to mine.

 

Watching two pitchers at the top of their games is great stuff.

What was on the menu? I did Angus beef two-beer burgers. Man I love this time of year!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Berrios with a chance to help his own cause...

[DocBauer]

One bratwurst that slipped of the grill, but the dog took care of it.

 

Burgers tonight...but I have dachshunds. And they claim rights to stuff on the table, much less what falls off the grill.

 

Had one attack my cereal bowl a couple days ago when I was stupid enough to think I could walk away for about 10 seconds!

 

My bad!

[Nine of twelve]

 

I don't know about you guys, but I'd like to keep this Berrios kid around for a few more years.

Yes, as long as it's this Berrios.
