lol ... keep it going Ryan Joseph

Day off did wonders for Braun.

[TwinsBrewersWorldSeries]

BRAUN x 2!

[Matt Breen]

It would be nice to see Segura hit the ball out of the infield once and a while.

[Matt Breen]

Boooo!!!!!

 

HA!

[Schlitz001]

His thumb must be feeling.

Braun hit both of those right on the screws.

 

I like Joe Block generally, but would a little home run excitement kill him? Both of those looked gone off the bat. There's got to be a happy medium between Ueck getting pumped about a fly to the warning track and Block not seeming to realize it has a chance until it clears the wall. Build some excitement, man!

[DoubleSwitch]

well...

 

at least it wasn't gone. I thought it was a sure thing off the bat.

Lohse is a bit off today. Hopefully our run total doesn't stop at 6

Yeah, that's what I thought immediately after Braun's first homer. A nice start, but I don't think it will be enough.

[Matt Breen]

Well, we need to have a bullpen of seven guys, not five. Henderson and Wang have to play at some point. It's ridiculous to have two guys who aren't playing.

[fondybrewfan]

All of a sudden everyone on the team is hitting well.

I agree ... he is just so dry

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

Maybe Braun should play in Philly more....

[brewcrewdue80]

I can't wait to see Wang go 2ip today and end all this nonsense about the bullpen rostered. What are we fearful of? A Control with Power pitcher unable to record outs?

And Henderson? Really? He's appeared twice. Let the complaining be. The only complaint I have with the bullpen is Duke being on the roster and I'm thinking when Gorzo returns that'll be fixed so what's to complain about then.

 

Gennett with an intentional Walk....hmm, I thought with his batting profile pitchers would just constantly challenge him and let him meekly drive balls for outs? Every day this 2b situation looks better and better.

[fondybrewfan]

Hopefully Lohse can make it through this inning and RR gives Wang a chance in the 6th. Just have a guy up and ready in case he doesn't start out well.

The game is too close. Wang won't play unless we're a touchdown ahead or behind.

[Matt Breen]

Wow, Lohse has dodged some bullets today.

[DoubleSwitch]

nice to see segura put some good wood on a ball

[Matt Breen]

maybe they throw at braun here.

[Matt Breen]

Uecker is doing the game - I thought he wasn't going on the road this year. Am I wrong?

[owbc]

Just checked the box score--looks like Braun is feeling better.

 

Uecker is doing some road trips but not others--especially west coast trips.

Segura was safe! WHERE IS THE CHALLENGE!?!?! Ugh, Ron.
