2009-06-25 Twins (Baker) at Brewers (Burns) : 1:05 PM CT [Brewers lose, 6-4]

[joepepsi]

Going into last night's game the offense had average 4.85 runs in June.

[brewdude15]

That Aflac Trivia question was quite easy....even I got it.

 

Ugh, a couple line outs won't help...

[cheesecup22]

too bad for those line drive outs by hart and cameron.. we really need a run

[jeffy]

The offense also had plenty of hitting and guys on base on Tuesday, just did not get hits with RISP...I don't know that I'd call that a lack of offense, certainly it was a lack of runs and "clutch" hitting (or just bad luck).

[brewmann04]

The trio of Hart Cameron and Hardy have just been plan out bad and they are not going to win many games if this trio can get going. Melvin also needs to fins a hitter along the way here.

[eanelson4]

That's a little harsh, isn't it? Considering the team put up 32 runs in the Cleveland series, just a week ago, I'd say it's just a funk they're in.

Yeah, probably. I just get frustrated when they strand leadoff doubles and can't hit the ball off of people like Scott Baker.

[pretendastronaut]

Did we make some sort of deal that whoever is in center for the Twins this series, has to get on base repeatedly?

[brewmann04]

This Span kid is killing us ,it unreal how they can bring someone right off the DL and he can have a monster game against us.

[jeffy]

Probably illegal to mention here but Detroit and the Mets both have a lead and bases loaded in the 8th.

[crewcrazy]

Baker's not a bad pitcher, even if his ERA was over 5 coming into today. It was covered the last time the Brewers faced him (when he almost went all 9 innings and gave up 3 runs), but his stats were really hurt by a few bad starts to start the season. He's been very solid for over a month now...he hasn't lost a decision since May 29 (4 ER vs. Tampa) and hasn't given up 5 ER since May 14.

[trwi7]

Heard TH on the Dlist and Macha said that he started McGehee because RHers are actually hitting Baker better than LHers. Just be thankful it's not Bill Hall out there.

Wouldn't it then make more sense to have the better left handed hitter bat? Gamel and McGehee would make more sense using Macha's logic than Counsell and McGehee.

[pretendastronaut]

Probably illegal to mention here but Detroit and the Mets both have a lead and bases loaded in the 8th.

 

And they both failed to score at pretty much the same time. Arrest that man!

[eanelson4]

Watching all of these lazy ground outs and fly outs makes me want to gag. Why do the Twins alwasy seem to do this to the Brewers. They can't handle pitchers that just throw strikes or what?

[brewmann04]

Meets fail to score and Cubs have cut it to 1 with man on second

[pretendastronaut]

If the Cubs pull off another 9th inning rally, I'm going to go play in traffic instead of watching baseball.

Edit: Phew, fake rally. Game over.

[brewdude15]

It's disappointing that the offense couldn't get at least a couple runs for Burns.

[hawing]

I am looking forward to seeing interleague play in the Brewers' rear view mirror.

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

Monty didn't pitch all that badly. Tough with no run support though.

[pretendastronaut]

Exactly hawing. Interleague play can't end soon enough.

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

Cards lose, so we got that going for us. Which is nice.

[brewmann04]

well everyone should still be Happy that even though the Crew are losing another series at the Very least the Cubs and Cards lost.

[jeffy]

Interleague would be great if only all the games were against Cleveland.

[dlk9s]

You know, people can make fun of Counsell being a "gritty" player and all that, but you know what? He's good. I like him. I like him a lot.

[eanelson4]

Wow. A little life. Let's see Ryan and Prince do something now.
