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

[pacopete4]

Torres warming up! We need to score in the 8th to force CC to use a MLB pitcher.

Hader going 1 inning certainly hasn't helped tonight. I'd imagine Swarzak is unavailable

 

Suter going 4 is worse. Shouldn't expect your pen to get 5 innings. Especially this pen.

[topper09er]

Looked like Braun had the wrong first step, very rare for a lateral move. Maybe there is something odd about picking up the ball here from the OF

[homer]

If everyone could move on from yesterday's bunt/no bunt that would be swell. Thanks.

Agreed, but I think Suter gets pulled with the understanding that Hader can go multiple innings.

If you want to know how unclutch this offense is, we have the 2nd worst offense in baseball in the 7th inning or later this year. Collectively our team has a .288 OBP in the 7th or later for the entire season.

Is Jeter available, we need some clutch

[superfly]

Lucky for us the Twins bullpen is equally atrocious to ours.

[MrTPlush]

Josh Hader deserves a lot of the blame. Pitched like trash when we needed multiple innings from him.

[OnaBadger58]

To think the first 2 innings were done in less than 30 minutes.

Our late inning offense vs the Twins bullpen. The unstoppable suck vs the immovable stink.

[JohnBriggs12]

Confirmation for what we already knew in this game:. Santana is a horrible outfielder. Drake is bad. New tonight is Susac is worst pitch framer we've ever seen.

[adambr2]

Aguilar just walked on 4 pitches. Will Perez be able to take a pitch?

[DocLuna7]

If he was that uncomfortable with the lead Rosario could get by virtue of having a shift on, why not send a defender back towards 3rd? Not all the way but far enough to the point where a potential steal attempt of home wouldn't have been a possibility?

 

That's old school baseball. The manager's boss is a kid.

 

So was Theo Epstein in Boston.

[topper09er]

Since my trivia question was buried by the balk, the last NLer to hit 50 HRs is old Prince Fielder (Metrodome aided)

[adambr2]

LOL. Of course we ground into a double play to erase the leadoff walk. Why wouldn't we?

[lcbj68c]

Steal, then bunt him over and fly ball. This should be strategy 101 in the 8th. My experiences tell me he'll be stranded there at first base.

Instead of a take sign to allow steal attempt, he is swinging away into DP. I've watched this nightmare so many times yet can't look away.

Unstoppable suck wins the 8th inning!

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Well, he wasn't stranded.

[topper09er]

Listening to Colin Cowherd speak 2 sentences is worse than a lifetime of Grubers

[pacopete4]

Arcia-Broxton-Susac in the 9th. Fun! lol I think I need to ban myself from watching for a day. Just too annoyed at this team lately.

[trwi7]

Thames has been Mitch Moreland since May offensively.

[superfly]

LOLOLOL Torres doesn't even know who's on base

[adambr2]

6 ERA reliever against our albatross of a late inning lineup = no problem.

[TJseven7]

If everyone could move on from yesterday's bunt/no bunt that would be swell. Thanks.

 

How can you watching this hilarious tragedy unfold infront of us?
