2020-08-11: Twins (Clippard/Bullpen) at Brewers (Lindblom) [Brewers win 6-4 -- Piña hits two HRs, Gyorko hits go ahead HR in 8th]

[PinaMadness]

Mathias was playing better than all the tomato cans Stearns brought in this winter.

[folly412]

Roster flexibility is all. Mathias played well but could be optioned. Next injury and he's back.

Polanco's resting expression is that of someone who just lost their nephew at a carnival.

The good nephew or the evil nephew?

[Bulldogboy]

Do any brewers have a two strike approach or nah??

[markedman5]

I hate pitchers who nibble because they don’t trust their stuff.

[brewers888]

Stearns had a terrible offseason and it shows.

Bet on the slider to hang. It's totally shocking that it just keeps doing what it's supposed to and breaking well out of the zone so their swings look silly!

[brewers888]

So where’s the power to go along with all our strikeouts.

[brewers888]

Lindblom was another terrible signing.

[trwi7]

Counsell when he looks at his roster.

 

[markedman5]

Friggin batting practice.

 

Lindbloom not impressing at all.

[TURBO]

So Appleton isn't getting the game on cable...

 

Instead, they have the Bucks? Geeeeeeeez.

 

FXSP1 is showing the Tigers/White Sox.

 

Ridiculous.

 

I admit though, these two teams are interesting to watch, lots of young talent..

 

EDIT: Just found the Brewers game, way up on channel 310 - FSWIAHD

[brewers888]

The difference in these two lineups is startling.

[PinaMadness]

This pitcher should stick to his day job coaching the Philadelphia Eagles.

[folly412]

I thought we traded Chase Anderson?

[Bulldogboy]

My condolences.

[TURBO]

Why not have Peralta and Burnes starting and letting Lauer and Lindblom take on the long relief/piggy back roles.

 

Freddie and Corbin have a future with this team...

[TURBO]

The difference in these two lineups is startling.

 

I especially thought the same thing when we played the White Sox.

 

That team has so much excitement surrounding it, and we have what we have...

[BruisedCrew]

Brewers should be looking to trade Hader while he has value. He is completely wasted on a team that takes a lead into the late innings about once a week.

[Bulldogboy]

A year and a half ago we were one game from the World Series. Real talk how did we get here?

[brewers888]

This feels like a Doug Melvin team with all these stopgaps and short term free agent scrubs. We desperately need to draft and develop better so we don’t have to rely on scrubs like Smoak and Sogard.

Shoulda happened in November though. Or last July.
