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

Commercial wise, just happy for something different. Nice. Will undoubtedly be bored and frustrated in a few weeks.

[Joey P]

Pitchers may be good, but there is always an increased risk when you go to the bullpen for so many pitchers. All it takes is one guy having an off day. Oh well. Let's not let Rocco's Obsession with stats get in the way of how amazing Jose looked today. At least he threw a no hitter. 

[DocBauer]

Come on Duffer...be yourself!

[DocBauer]

NICE!! Great pitch!

[MVP Nick Punto]

Long answer trying to be short, he practices in the field and carries an OF/2B/1B glove. But his range is very limited and he just hasn't been in the field for years. Could he? Yes. But think Chilli Davis when pressed, or Willingham, or Thome at 3B at 40.

 

He could do it. But you don't want to see him do it.

I was gonna say. How many players not named Ichiro have played OF regularly in their age 40+ season in recent memory?

[IndianaTwin]

Doofff!!!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Legendary Medieval Wear ... Armstreet

Gauntlets, i hope?

 

Such a weird name.

[ashbury]

If they don't let a guy who is nearly perfect through 6 with a good pitch count complete the game, they won't let an old guy play the outfield. Because statistics... :'(

Do you remember a game the Rangers lost, after a playable ball in RF, which would have sealed a World Series victory, was misjudged? He's 10 years older than that player now.

 

[MMMordabito]

Got the left-handed Ham Porter ... Finish it off, Duff!

[Squirrel]

Now I really want to buy a suit of armor

100%. But, I would be forced to answer with Henderson.

[Nine of twelve]

Into, and, more importantly, out of trouble. Yes!

[Mill1634]

Nice job by Duffey to work out of that...do we trust Thielbar to get Yelich in the 9th?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

That’s a line drive, but it’s an out, and we’ll take it

[Danchat]

Looks like Robles is getting the 9th? It looks like Rocco & Co. are really high on him.

To be fair, we're all 10 years older now.

yep, one more inning from Berrios and this game is over

Brett Gardner is only 37. It just SEEMS like he’s been around long enough to be 43.

[jimbo92107]

Man, they were sitting hard on Duffey's curve. He even gave them one on that last pitch. Duffey needs to mow a few batters down with his new heater to the corners. Maybe mix in some change ups, just to confound, confuse and befuddle. 

[DocBauer]

Always wanted one. Problem is, I'd always want one in my size so I could wear it on certain occasions to completely geek out.

 

But how would I post or take a rest break? That's where my dream ended, alas. Lol

[sampleSizeOfOne]

More run(s) please!

I'd mention how glad I am not to see a commercial for a certain dough-cheese-and-topping restaurant chain but I won't because I don't want to jinx it.

[Danchat]

Never mind, looks like Cologne is warming up now.

 

Darn auto correct! But it’s funny so I’ll keep it cologne.

[Nine of twelve]

Not me. I'm the same age. I've been 39 for many years.

Great reference!

 

The at’em balls are the hardest to judge

Good post, for the win.

And still immature.

 

[USAFChief]

Kepler looks bad. 2-0 fastball, right in the womp em zone...miss.

Something about this post just doesn't smell right.
