Twins (Maeda) vs Brewers (Burnes): 8/23/23, 1:10pm

If we lose this game, we should look to CC deciding to hit Wiemer there.

[RobertCrawley]

There is a time when a bunt is not a terrible idea.

[mtsportsfan]

If Weimer had any idea about situational hitting game could be over !

[Bulldogboy]

Rally short circuit. When I keep saying that the manager isn't helping this is a perfect example. 

[RobertCrawley]

102.

Big time heater.

[Brewcrew82]

Brice says, "who cares about Wiemer hitting? I'll just end the game myself!".

[Bulldogboy]

Lol. Nice

[mtsportsfan]

Turang baby !!!!!! Game over !

[RobertCrawley]

TURANG!!!!

[BruisedCrew]

I was almost wondering if it would make sense for Turang to bunt. 
 

He got the functional equivalent. 

[RobertCrawley]

Nice to win the hottest day of the year!!

[HarryDoyle]

You live and die by the slow roller.

[Brewcrew82]

Brewers are hot. Both literally and figuratively. 

[markedman5]

Speed never goes in a slump!

[Brock Beauchamp]

Baseball is such a silly game. All that hitting and back and forth and a weak chopper is a walk-off. 

[Baldkin]

GIMME A RANG!

GIMME ANOTHER RANG!

 

WHAT'S THAT MAKE?

 

TURANG!

If you’re thinking Wiemer  should have bunted, my guess is that the chances that he would lay down a successful bunt against that pitcher are next to zero.

I’m not sure why you throw Duran for 2 innings but thank you Rocco. 
 

Also, the Twins bullpen. Woof. 

[HarryDoyle]

I've been very impressed the way Turang has improved as the season has progressed.

It didn't look like he lost any velocity but he didn't land the slider.

[Nola Beery]

Woweee! What a game! What a win!

Tu RANGGGGG?

[willie key]

Yes.     The brewers are slowly getting that winning team mentality now on offense.    But for god sakes.   Come back frelick.     No more wiemer

For me, it was just having Wiemer at the plate there. If you pinch hit Tellez, not only do you have someone who's more likely to make contact, but if he rolls over on it like Wiemer did, it would go to the right side to allow the baserunner to advance.

Ended up not mattering, but that was a mistake imo.

Yeah, Wiemer with zero sac bunts in college or as a professional, trying to lay one down on Duran, who has some of the nastiest stuff in MLB, is a slim to none type of scenario. Way better chance of something happening swinging away.

What a great game to be at , other than the heat ! Our crew has been looking better now that our bats don't look so anemic ! All we asked for was middle of the pack offense with this pitching ! Just have to keep it going !
