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

[BruisedCrew]

Hader gets his once a week save opportunity. Hope he isn’t rusty.

[PinaMadness]

Is Gyorko 60 years old?

[PinaMadness]

Heck of a time to tighten up the strike zone, Meals.

[markedman5]

Emergency hack from Polanco......

[Eye Black]

Is it just me, or have there been a lot of late timeout calls from opponents lately?

[Eye Black]

Was hoping to not see Rosario at the plate again tonight.

[yourout]

Now that was a bad walk.

[wildcat83]

Travis Shaw with a game winning single in Buffalo.

 

Last year I could’ve imagined typing that and thinking who has a AAA team in Buffalo.... but today it’s MLB reality.

[Eye Black]

GREAT outing Josh!

[markedman5]

Great win!

 

That slider is just filthy

[pacopete4]

Great comeback win. A chance to win a series and get back to .500 tomorrow.

[Eye Black]

This one goes in the books as Devin Williams’ first MLB win. I know pitcher “wins” don’t really matter, but still happy for a guy who seemed like an afterthought as a prospect at times, his changeup is definitely developing into a weapon.

[Lathund]

Is it just me, or have there been a lot of late timeout calls from opponents lately?

 

Yeah I've noticed that too. It's one of my pet peeves; both that hitters call for those late time outs, but most of all that they are actually granted. If the player is already in his wind-up it's your own fault if you can't stay ready for the 5 or so seconds you've been in the batters box.

[TURBO]

Winning is surely a lot more fun than losing!

 

Nice win tonight!

[Eye Black]

As frustrating as the Brewers season has been so far, they currently have a better winning percentage than the following teams considered to be “playoff caliber” coming into the season:

 

Nationals

Astros

Phillies

Diamondbacks

Cardinals (yes, I know)

Mets

Angels

[brewcrewdue80]

Wait we won this game? I figured we were losing 13- 2 or so. Gotta do better being a Brewerfan. Too many are brutal based on such a small sample.

[adambr2]

Great comeback. Needed a win like that.

Will the Cards be able to play all the games that were on their schedule when it is all said and done?

[sveumrules]

Well, that should put it out of reach.

 

Or not.

[sveumrules]

Welp, have a nice night everyone.

 

I did!!

[sveumrules]

Stearns had a terrible offseason and it shows.

 

I feel like the 3rd inning of the 15th game is maybe too early to make this determination.

[sveumrules]

Lindblom was another terrible signing.

 

I think this too may be a case of "too early to tell".

[sveumrules]

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...

 

The White Sox had the 5th fewest wins from 2017-19.

 

The Brewers had the 8th most wins from 2017-19.

 

We haven't been bad enough recently to stockpile the kind of young talent the White Sox have.
