[TwinsBrewersWorldSeries]

10+ ERA for the opposing pitcher probably means he'll throw 7 IP 0 R 0 ER 2 H 1 BB 12 K

[pacopete4]

Hopefully they'll smack him around and get another series win, on the road, against a divisional opponent. Get at it!

[Funketown]

Segura

Braun

Lucroy

Gomez

Ramirez

Davis

Weeks

Reynolds

Gallardo

 

That's a nice looking lineup.

[yfinn6]

No Sunday lineup today?

 

Segura could probably use a day off sometime soon; it's been a while since he's hit anything hard into the outfield.

No game tomorrow. He can rest then. We are going for a series win!

[liveforoctober]

That is a lot of righties, and probably my favorite lineup we have had in awhile.

 

The Pirates should know you don't throw lefties against Milwaukee... 7-4 victory today me thinks. It would be nice for Yo to have a QS here.

[endaround]

Still don't get the Segura leading off thing, but whatever...

[pacopete4]

Going by the numbers it doesn't make a lot of sense but they're scoring a lot of runs lately so RR is not going to mess with it.

[liveforoctober]

Not my ideal either.. I think Roenicke really wants Gomez hitting 4th though and then who is your other option? Especially in today's lineup...

Weeks

 

Yep, overlook on my part.

[yfinn6]

Nice catch, Rickie.

[TooLiveBrew]

Speaking of Weeks... oof

 

That ball has to be caught

[yfinn6]

Man, Braun has made some nice throws from right this year. There's the double-play the Brewers needed!

[liveforoctober]

Watching gamecast... how did that look?

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Looked like Walker may have gotten in before the tag.

[liveforoctober]

Looked like Walker may have gotten in before the tag.

 

are they reviewing?

are they reviewing?

 

They're reviewing the play. Got the PIT broadcast living out here in PA. Their announcers wanted the call overturned. One of those where the tag was on the left knee, while the right foot may have hit the plate first. Plus the whole new plate blocking rule. Throw was perfect and beat Walker well. Call stood.

[adambr2]

They need to close this "loophole" of managers being able to essentially imply "I don't want to have to use a challenge on this, but it would be great if you could look at this."

[yfinn6]

Looked like Walker may have gotten in before the tag.

 

are they reviewing?

 

It looked like Walker may have gotten in, but I think they were reviewing whether or not Lucroy blocked the plate. Either way, Walker is out and it's the top of the 2nd.

 

And who is Gomez chirping at now?

[adambr2]

According to Rock and BA they were never looking at whether he got a foot in.

[adambr2]

This game has the potential to clear benches again.

[adambr2]

Making Locke look like a stud.

[lcbj68c]

Lots of called strikes today that don't appear to be strikes while watching the game. (I put zero weight on what Gameday or Pitch FX shows, as I think those products are worthless) But with the eye on tv, lots of called strikes. Huge zone seems to be a way to get those games from 2:58 to 2:30.
