2010-06-23 Twins (Liriano) at Brewers (Parra), 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 5-3]

Ugh. Manny can be so frustrating at times.

[trwi7]

Did Bill seriously just say he likes walking Nick Punto so they can pitch to Jim Thome?

[BrewCrewForever]

Please Manny, get Thome here.

[BrewCrewForever]

I think I would let Parra finish the inning. Kind of surprised Macha is pulling him.

[razzzorsharp]

Why Macha? Parra has been pitching pretty well.

[BrewCrewForever]

I mean I like Braddock and got faith in him. But why pull Parra here? Let him get Thome. Parra has pitched well, I think he deserved the chance to complete 6 innings.

That's not at all what I heard. He likes the fact that they have to Liriano out after 5 innings. Nothing to do with Jim Thome / Nick Punto

But after the wild pitch he also suggested intentionally walking Punto with a 1-2 count. I'm sorry, but the guy's an idiot.

 

 

[thablingster]

Word up, Thome. Get out of this inning, Braddock.

[BrewCrewForever]

Well it all worked out. Guess I can't complain too much.

 

Another good outing for Parra, what is that 4 in a row? He really seems to be turning a corner.

[sauveb]

I'm not a fan of the move but you do have to acknowledge the fact that the Twins just lost their best pitcher and top pinch hitter and we still have a lead.

Prince is having an absolutely brutal year. Horrendous timing for all parties involved. He just butchered that grounder by Mauer.

Amen to that. He is not helping himself get that big deal he and Boras dream of. And he sure is heck is not helping the Brewers get good trade value for him. Awful defense and a pathetic 27 RBI.

[razzzorsharp]

Another wild pitch.

[razzzorsharp]

Loe's stuff is silly.

[BrewCrewForever]

Kameron Loe has been outstanding.

 

He is listed at 6-8, but man he looks 7-0 to me. A Giant out there.

[brewmann04]

this group of guys in the pen has really stepped up.

[razzzorsharp]

Weeks buying into the World Cup hype, kicking balls around (and for once, in a good way).

[yfinn6]

Why is it that whenever Prince gets hit he has to make a big show of it? Just go down to first base for cryin' out loud.

[afeter]

prince's post-HBP tough guys antics look about as dumb as his 27 rbi

Kitties are "in" for avatars.

[schuld66]

Villanueva scares me...

[owbc]

They are cutting it really close with the roof closing. The rain is about 10 minutes away.

Has Hoffman really been "moved" back into the closer's role? I sort of hope not. Well, not sort of, I really hope not.
