2009-05-24 Brewers (Bush) at Twins (Baker): 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 6-3]

[BrewCrewForever]

I do almost agree with Phillips. Macha should have went off the handle after a call got reversed. And how did Gardenhire not get tossed? Unreal.

[JCREW]

Since when do the Twins beat people with the long ball anyway?

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

I've never seen an ump get berated, with a cap throw, and then reverse a call and not throw the guy out for showing him up.

 

What a spineless POS.

[pretendastronaut]

I can't wait to face Carpenter tomorrow on short rest.

[SeriesFinale]

I'm getting angrier the more I think about the ump capitulating to Gardenhire and Macha capitulating to the ump

 

Ridiculous--talk about changing the scope of the game

Yeah that was a first. That just never happens. But of course it happened against the Brewers in this crap stadium in Minnesota in the series from hell 2009.

Since Thursday.

[BrewCrewForever]

I'm a huge fan of Macha, but I think he has to go more berserk in that situation and get tossed. First time I'm a little displeased with Macha.

[bucks2281]

Well, look at the bright side. We were 20-24 at this point last season.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Guess the players want to get on the bus as soon as possible: so much for trying to work the count.

[Ennder]

Twins got hot and beat a better team 3 games at home, cant' lose sleep over it. Saddest part is that the Twins threw 2 mediocre pitchers at us this series and we couldn't hit them at all because the offense went cold.

[bucksbeat]

Macha needs to either get hot or send Willie Randolph out there to get in the face of the ump. It's unacceptable in that situation for a manager to have a mild mannered conversation, you need to fire up your team, especially when a call is reversed out of thin air.

 

To me Macha needed to copy the Minor League manager that crawled around and threw grenades.

 

Ridiculous.

[Teatoe993]

We haven't taken any pitches this entire series. Two of the games were against scrub pitchers. I don't know if it's the dome or what, but the team is completely out of it's element at the plate.

[wOOgiE22]

Bill Hall is now 7-56 in the month of May for a staggering BA of .125! Sucks that Weeks and Hardy are down

[SeriesFinale]

Well, this is the last scheduled Sunday Night game this season for us, and thank the maker--these always seem disastrous.

[JCREW]

Meaningless stat that sucks...

 

Including today, the Twins have scored 43 runs in the last 4 games. That's just over 18% of their runs for the year.

Losing Bill Hall may be better than any trade the Brewers could make.

 

In blue...but it may be true.

[Teatoe993]

The thing is that we can't even get Hall out of the lineup even though we want to. Damn you DH!

Position-by-position I think that's a higly debateable proposition, as we've debated on this board before.

[bucks2281]

We'll probably get another Sunday Nighter this year -- likely after the All-Star break.

[JCREW]

I think this is just a picture of what life is going to be like without Rickie.

 

Every little nick and scratch is going to hurt... a lot.

[pebadger]

I agree JCrew.

 

Add in the Hardy situation and the this is a lineup that s almost unrecognizable in some ways. You don't want to be counting on Hall, Counsell and McGehee too much, and certainly not every day. I think Gamel will be good, but he is still shy of 20 ML ABs.

[JCREW]

Atta boy Prince. Finally something more than a pop-up.

[SeriesFinale]

I kinda hate useless late inning runs

 

(Please prove me wrong Crew...)

Thats is fine, I disagree completely as I think the Twins are a .500 team but they have home field advantage in a park that we never seem to play well in and most importatnly they are the hottest they have been all year and we couldn't buy a hit with RISP all series. These types of series are going to happen and you cant' read anything at all into them.
