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

[DuWayne Steurer]

Ever notice that almost every homeplate ump expands their zone on a 3-0 count, and shrinks it on 0-2?

 

It feels like it's always been that way and until they go to robots it always will.

[adambr2]

Do you think there is such a thing as a "hitter setting up a pitcher"?

 

I believe it was the 0-1 pitch to Broxton (seemed fastball middle in), where Broxton opened his hips and flailed at the ball while basically sliding his feet all over the place, and pulling off badly to left field. I almost came on to post that might have been the most terrible swing I've seen in a while.

 

Then on the 3-2 pitch, he got the same exact pitch and had a beautiful swing that resulted in a home run. It made me wonder whether maybe Broxton was baiting Santana that he couldn't hit that pitch and wanted it again? Or maybe Broxton is just that inconsistent?

 

Broxton is just that inconsistent. If he could pull off that vudu magic, he should so it more often.

 

Maybe he's got a season long-bait going on and has been sandbagging the entire season to flip the switch at the right time in August and carry us to the division title.

What is that curvy number in the box score? I'm not a techy but all I recognize are zeros and ones.

[adambr2]

Did they give a distance on the Broxton HR?

431 feet or 43,100 centi-feet. Edited August 8, 2017 by treego14

C'mon Braun

[jason21nl]

What a terrible decision by Braun to throw that ball to 3rd.

[adambr2]

Just a dumb throw from Braun there. Broxton did that same thing a day or two ago and allowed the trail runner to advance, but I expect better from Braun.

[topper09er]

Can someone tell our little league outfield to hit the cutoff man

[adambr2]

Surprised they didn't try to score there.

[topper09er]

Surprised they didn't try to score there.

 

Surprised Braun didnt throw it to first

[TJseven7]

Holy cow a guy who Ks 37% of time didnt K....

 

I could have sworn 36.7% of the time was 100% of the time after the discussions i heard in the prior day.

 

Just because you are wrong about the bunting thing doesn't mean people think he strikes out 100%.

 

You dont say it but you sure do act like it...

 

And your numbers say im right until you change them to fit your bias for your school of thought. I am not the one tied to either. I believe both are proper at times and neither has the riddles answer. That realistic... shame on me!

[wallus]

Would have been a double play... sigh

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Maybe it's a DP with Mauer running, but that's a long throw to second and a tough turn. Plus, who knows if the infield is positioned the same with 1st and 3rd and one out. I think the Twins probably get a run there either way.

 

Good to keep them to one, at least. Add on!

For the love of all that's holy can we please stop talking about a bunt from yesterday's game? Nobody's mind will be changed.

Yeah, but...

[OnaBadger58]

Love that right center Keon! So much power in that man

[MrTPlush]

Error galore for Twins.

[markedman5]

Have a night Keon!

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Maybe, just maybe, this is the start of the Broxton hot streak?

[lcbj68c]

Why is Susac directing Arcia to slide there?!?

[MrTPlush]

Maybe, just maybe, this is the start of the Broxton hot streak?

 

Didn't he have a good game right when he came back up? Yah...I won't bite yet.

[Matt1969]

Brewers need to quit scoring so many runs tonight

[Ennder]

You dont say it but you sure do act like it...

 

And your numbers say im right until you change them to fit your bias for your school of thought. I am not the one tied to either. I believe both are proper at times and neither has the riddles answer. That realistic... shame on me!

 

I don't care about the bunt but that is not what my numbers say and that is the problem. You don't seem to understand how math works.

 

But whatever, be mad at Counsell all you want. He is going to get blamed for every loss by someone anyway, it comes with his job.

[jerichoholicninja]

I don't remember anything about Susac catching last year but so far tonight he does not look very nimble back there and he seems to sit really high compared to most other catchers.
