2020-08-18: Brewers (Burnes) at Twins (Maeda) [Brewers lose, 4-3 in 12 innings -- Brewers spoil Maeda’s no hit bid in the 9th and rally for 3 runs, but fail to get a run across in extras]

[Bulldogboy]

Arcia just always seems like he has never watched a baseball game prior to playing in one.

[brewers888]

Bleh.

I bet there are people so young on this forum that they don't even know that we traded Nelson Cruz over 14 years ago.

 

One of the absolute biggest meltdowns I've ever seen on this site that day.

 

To be fair, that trade was a bit of a head scratcher. Not that we traded Lee but for what the content of the trade was.

 

That trade was a bust just based on the fact that we missed out on about 100 times of Ueker saying El Caballo while neighing.

This one is about over.

Battle to tie it only to give it right back.

 

Since when is getting squeezed for a walk in a tie game an automatic death sentence? I get the pessimism tonight, but sheesh.

 

Edit: Um ... ha! Neener neener neener

 

 

It was my reverse jinx effort.

[BruisedCrew]

Well, that was a pitiful half inning.

[adambr2]

Well, that's too bad. Definitely put ourselves in a tough spot now.

[Eye Black]

I have a feeling we’re going to see some small ball upcoming.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Hader warmed up. May as well use him.

You should have seen some last half inning.

Unfortunately Jake Cave appears fast according to his sprint speed rating of 82nd percentile.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Thought so too. But Rosario maybe not the best guy to bunt with.

Yeah, that’s a good point. Swinging away now.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

That was an adventure of a flyball. Was Hader covering third?

[brewers888]

Is Haders velocity down this season.

I literally cannot remember the last time we successfully executed small ball. I doubt it would have worked out anyway.

 

Plus I'm not sure playing for 1 run with the runner on 2nd rule is the best way to go in the top half of extras. Although maybe with Hader in your back pocket it is.

Do the Twins have anyone left to replace Gonzalez with?

[yourout]

Manny bought that one.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Garver?

 

Brewers have lost their DH. If it goes long enough, we may see pitchers hit for both teams.

Get Woodruff down to the cage, pronto.

[Eye Black]

Surprised Vargas is hanging in here as well as he is.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Guys putting together some good ABs against Hader this year.

[adambr2]

Is Haders velocity down this season.

 

I was kind of wondering that. Has he been sitting at 92-93 all season?

[brewers888]

Hader isn't as dominant at 92-93.

[Bulldogboy]

The bite on that slider was wow
