2011-06-24 Twins (Baker) at Brewers (Wolf) - [Brewers win, 4-3]

[ilovebeer]

I don't understadn why baseball thinks that the Brewers and the twins and rivals.

[Oxy]

Wolf is really struggling with his efficiency right now. That's a lot of pitches to get six outs from a very bad lineup.

That Hughes AB was the only one that was annoying. Otherwise he is just painting the corners, an inch on or an inch off. The Twins are just being so patient that they are making him work. He's not exactly a guy who can just go out and challenge hitters.

[chickinbrickin]

The last 5+ years the Twins show what solid defense can do for a team. If they played our brand of defense they would be one of the worst teams in baseball.

[davemakovec]

Because the White Sox and Yankees were already taken as rivals.

[ilovebeer]

That was a nice inning for the Wolf man.

[Oxy]

The best power hitters in the game will have an ISO around .300 and anyone with

an ISO over .200 is hitting for power at a good clip. An ISO below .200

indicates that a vast majority of the players hits are not going for extra

bases.

Unless a batter hits so few singles that his BA is around .200 and is SLG is around .400, like Kottaras. Then a fair percentage of his hits are for extra bases, he just doesn't get many hits in general.

[chuckcrim]

Baker is mowing Brewers down left and right. Ugh.

[ilovebeer]

Randy gets the first hit.

[davemakovec]

It takes Randy Wolf to break up the no-no. That's funny.

[chuckcrim]

Nyjer's not hitting line drives and grounders anymore. Thinks he's a HR hitter now.

That is true.

Anyone else having issues with the game on DirecTV?

[brettac1]

Nevermind, must have been technical issues.

[davemakovec]

That's another nice, quick inning for Wolf. Hopefully the bats can wake up.

[trwi7]

LOL. Why was the Twins outfield playing so deep with McGehee up?

[razzzorsharp]

McGehee with a single! Also, the Twins fan right behind when they show lefties must have gotten a text to pull her shirt up as she was showing a good deal of skin earlier.

LOL. Why was the Twins outfield playing so deep with McGehee up?

It would make sense if somebody with speed was on first. But it was Fielder. Scoring on a double is very iffy with him on first.

[ilovebeer]

Corey gets us a the lead nice double there.

[razzzorsharp]

I agree with the send by the way.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

He was safe

 

Yuni is so bad...DFA the guy already

[ilovebeer]

bad base running again,

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Nope he was out...but Yuni still blows

[trwi7]

He was safe

I don't think he was.

 

 

[chuckcrim]

Can we just call up Green already?

[razzzorsharp]

bad base running again,

I don't agree. I think the odds of Casey being safe are better than Kottaras getting a hit afterwards. Now there are other factors to consider (past balls, walks, pitch count, etc.) but I think it was worth the risk. It would have been cool if Yuni put more wood on the ball.

 

Good plays by Weeks and a quick inning.
