Welcome back Pina... get after it.

Welcome back Pina... get after it.

 

Was back yesterday to a tune of 0-4. Needs to start hitting or we need to upgrade or go a different direction.

[liveforoctober]

You mean welcome back Arcia?

 

Lineup looks good. We lose a little flexibility in going match-ups with Thames out ... but Aguilar certainly has earned any at bat her gets while Eric is out.

[TJseven7]

Eh I've been busy. Now that I've welcomed him back he'll be fine. I know the offense has been lacking there but I really dont have an issue with catcher. We have a lot of mediocre depth that defends from well to decent. Still getting very little from Villar despite him hitting 300 and Arcia's bat has been just as bad as our catchers. 1 of those 3 have to impact this team positively. SS and C are closest defensively.

[FVBrewerFan]

As long as we're being hospitable, welcome back Woodruff too!

[brwrsfan]

Weather doesn't exactly look good for tonight. Might be getting an off day before the Cubs series here...

[82brewcrew82]

Six pitch inning. Nice start.

[pacopete4]

Refreshing first inning from Chacin.

Welcome back Pina... get after it.

 

Was back yesterday to a tune of 0-4. Needs to start hitting or we need to upgrade or go a different direction.

 

Why? He's only had 36 AB's this season and is excellent behind the plate.

If he doesn't hit, we'll need someone there that does, that's why. I'm not sold on Pina being an everyday starter.

[TwinsBrewersWorldSeries]

Hammel with a no hitter through 2 innings...

[topper09er]

14 pitches through 2

[pacopete4]

Chacin has his ERA under 4. What a terrible pitcher.

[TwinsBrewersWorldSeries]

Hammel now with a no-hitter through 3 innings... cue the ESPN Homepage banner for breaking news

[Guest]

Wow did I see that graphic correctly? 15 pitches through 2.1 innings for Chacin? I like it.

[Greenleaf1]

This game is going to be over by 9:00.

[Zad Fnark]

21 through 3 now. Unreal...

[cnycerveceros]

21 pitches through 3 innings? What is happening?

[stoutdude04]

They are literally seinging first pitch.

[pacopete4]

Well that should end the no-hitter.

[Eye Black]

Hammel with a no hitter through 2 innings...

Braun breaks up the no hitter on an infield single.

[pacopete4]

Some of these games have just been so comical.

[adambr2]

Yostie does not look too thrilled with Soler.
