Game Thread: Brewers @ Twins 6:10 8/28/2021

[stringer bell]

Let's get this half inning over with!

[howeda7]

Bring in Duffy/Manaya. 

[wabene]

Yes make the move now

[twinssporto]

Taking Barnes out was a mistake. Those hits were soooo soft. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Thielbar will come through here.

[Dave The Dastardly]

Saved by the bullpen

[sampleSizeOfOne]

At least they aren't ahead, but we returned a few favors there.

[twinssporto]

The only logic I can think why Badelli had to take out Barnes was rain and getting to the 5th. I would have left Barnes in...

Dumb. 

[Winston Smith]

Amazing how this team can fail to play up to a little league standard of play. It really makes the coaching look bad.

That's sarcasm by the way. And another error, too. Go Vikings!

[wabene]

I bring Thielbar back next year fo-sho

Thanks for explaining.

 

It was a save opportunity, and if not for the error, they would still have the lead...

 

And i wonder where the Vikings are going...

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Rooker ok after getting plunked?

[Vanimal46]

Prime time opportunity to pinch hit Simmons… But we won’t.

Miranda!

Can you make a roster move mid-game?

He took his base at least.

 

Got it on the inside of his back arm.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

At least it wasn’t a triple play

Ouch!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

A lead!

[Vanimal46]

Let’s go rain! 

[Vanimal46]

Do you write Minaya’s name in pen or permanent marker for the 2022 pen?

Yes.

 

But i don't think me writing anything matters so much.

Are we out of stone tablets?

I have no interest in saving a 40 man spot for a AAAA reliever who's currently coasting on BABIP luck and is walking 5.4 batters per 9 innings. They need to be filling the MLB spots with legitimate relievers.

I think 3M still makes them. Not sure if they get as many orders as for postits.

[Vanimal46]

Not often you see a ball fly in between the foul pole and limestone wall. What a change in circumstances. Went from tie game to a strikeout the next pitch. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Foul ball.

Throw him something else...

Yeah, that'll do!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Cave! Start us off right this inning, please.

 

 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

And Cave took Rooker's spot, both as a late inning defensive replacement, but maybe being careful after his HBP.
