2017-08-07: Brewers (Suter) at Twins (Santana) 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 5-4]

[lcbj68c]

Torres must be too familiar with having base runners.

[topper09er]

Mauer thinking I can't believe I grounded out to a guy who thinks the bases are loaded to start the inning

[MilwaukeesBest]

It's comical reading through all these pages when it's negative comment after negative comment.

 

A bunch of crap in the pen and we all act like we could manage it better than CC. Laughable.

[lcbj68c]

Apparently he wants to make us believe the first time was intentional...

[markedman5]

Torres does that every time he makes an out at first......I guess he figures it's better then forgetting that somebody is at 3rd base ......

Have you watched this game? The pen isn't great but Counsell has managed it incredibly poorly tonight.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Once more unto the breach while trailing after eight innings. Is this the night the win is pulled from jaws of defeat?

I mean, I get it. But Jared Hughes has a 3.74 FIP and a 116 ERA+. That's pretty solidly above-average. Not crap. I just don't see a situation in which he's not a better choice than Drake to start the seventh.

[trwi7]

71 mph curveball right down the middle and Arcia swings right through it.

True, but I'm pretty sure Barnes is similar and most want him for mop up innings.

I wish I could easily lookup ERA+ for starters and relievers. Relievers should only be compared to other relievers, and I would think his ERA would be solidly average to below average.

But, did you see their right fielder catch that seed?

Ill give him props for that great 2 strike approach though. Villar should be taking notes

[superfly]

SWINGGGGGGGGGGGG and a miss for Broxton...a rare sight!

It's easy to say what the correct call was in hindsight. What CC has to work with are a bunch of square pieces to put in round holes. His best bet might be turning to position players for the 6-7-8ths.

[adambr2]

Lol. This Twins pen is just utter crap that makes our pen look good and our bats still can do just nothing.

That was a Kershaw strike

[stoutdude04]

Broxton rung up on a ball again. That has to be frustrating to happen in back to back at bats.

[adambr2]

Lucky for the Twins Susac isn't their catcher, or that strike 3 to Broxton would have appeared a foot outside instead of just 2 inches outside like it actually was.

[stoutdude04]

Bummer. Missed a hanger.

[adambr2]

Santana is like the last guy you want up right now the way he has gone lately. He just got his best pitch to hit and could do nothing with it.

[trwi7]

Santana should bunt him to 3rd. Two outs? Who cares?

[stoutdude04]

Too bad. Let's get an tomorrow.

[OnaBadger58]

I'll take him over just about anybody

[pacopete4]

-1, soon to be -1.5.

 

Goodnight.
