2021-04-01 (Opening Day): Twins (Maeda) at Brewers (Woodruff) [Brewers win, 6-5 in 10 innings -- Comeback Crew scores 3 in 9th inning rally]

Is it just me or do the Twins always seem to be a nightmare matchup for us? Seems like we always have a tough time against these guys.

They are really good. Good lineup, good pitching. Not sold on BP yet, but favored in the Central for a reason. Plus, Maeda owns the Crew.

 

Weirdly, I feel like the Brewers have a good shot at winning the series given the matchups, but they certainly could have asked for an easier opening series.

Is that correct what MA just said that we have the 4th most wins over the last 17 seasons behind the Dodgers, Red Sox, and Cardinals? I think I heard that right.

Without looking it up my gut feeling is not a chance. I mean they've only had a winning record in like half those seasons.

Right? It just doesn’t sound realistic to me. I might’ve misheard too.

[MrTPlush]

Brewers are actually 11th in wins since the start of 2005. They are tied with Philly at 1262 and a flurry of teams are closely behind by less than 20 games over that span.

 

I think he heard a different stat and totally misinterpreted it. For instance I think we rank pretty highly in the last 4 years or something. Maybe he misunderstood that stat or accidently just mixed up the two right there.

[pacopete4]

Shaw with a very good at bat there. Awesome to see.

[Sir Illo]

Excellent patience and eye by Shaw there. Professional at-bat, good to see.

Yep....really happy for him.

[JRob1125]

Nice walk by Shaw

I'm not sure why Maeda was so careful with him there. Probably should have been more aggressive. Not complaining at all of course...

[SeaBass]

Excellent AB by Shaw, so far so good!

[pacopete4]

Damn. A good inning racking up the pitches but wish Cain had busted this one open a bit.

[MrTPlush]

What a horrid AB for Cain...misses an entire bag of batting practice sliders.

 

Nice to get his pitch count up, but you gotta hit the ball a little harder with all those opportunities.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Wiggled out of it. Man. Good ABs, though!

[KeithStone53151]

A couple really good bases loaded at bats. If anything, this should get us until the bullpen sooner. Scratching out a run is excellent as well.

[dlk9s]

Bally's might have paid out handsomely had anyone bet a parlay that the Twins would score their first run of the season on a wild pitch and the Brewers on bases loaded walk.

[RobDeer 45]

Ugh that one burned. Glad we got one but really was hoping for a base hit there! Quite a few pitches there.

[TURBO]

Did Sophia get a nose job?

 

She looks differemt, and I think it's her nose...

[markedman5]

Man Woody

[GenoSeligPrieb]

Nice path to the ball, LoCain. And some poor at bats. Maybe he'll play 4 games this year, before opting out.

 

By the way, Sophia is foin. New Nose or Classic Nose, I'm in.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Twins getting two-out hits when they have the opportunity to score. Needed to cash in in the Bottom of the 3rd.

[KeithStone53151]

I feel like woodruff needs to attack the inside a little more. That last guy seemed way too ready for a fastball away and easily slapped it into left center for the rbi.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Woody is really fighting it. Think he's coming out.

[sauveb]

The run prevention unit isn't off to a very good start. A bad block by Narvaez costs one run and a bad jump by Cain costs another. Cain looks noticeably off, both in the field and at the plate.
