Twins at Brewers; Friday, May 16 @ 7:10 p.m.: Chad Patrick (3.19 ERA, 3.69 FIP) vs. Joe Ryan (2.74 ERA, 3.39 FIP)

[Simba2020]

What's the record for having the most third basemen hit below .200 in one year?

[brewers888]

Its just hard watching this lineup with so little power that it usually takes three baserunners just to score and thats not an easy task for these hitters.

I will be vindicated!

Durbin is overmatched at this level

[brewers888]

At least Ortiz can still play defense.

He's a last player on a roster kind of guy and I really don't know why we was a target in a trade for someone like Devin Williams.

Early, but a 4A career seems about right for him. Unfortunately.

[brewers888]

I hate that a 3 run deficit this early feels insurmountable but it does.

That was a pretty sweet play. 

No way Willie makes that play anymore.

[Underachiever]

Let me guess. Oblique?

[Bulldogboy]

Any ball hit to Chourio is an adventure 

[yfinn6]

Great job Ortiz. You get out of the way of a slow breaking ball only to strike out. Wonderful.

Dido for Ortiz 

[brewers888]

This lineup is just pitiful.

[wntrtxn21]

Does Patrick have any kind of breaking ball. This is the first time I've seen him pitch and so far everything is hard and up. Cutter and what Rock said was a slider looks like the same pitch. Changeup is pathetic and same speed as cutter. Twins have to look for nothing but FB/Cutter, up in the zone. It makes hitting much, much easier when you know what's coming.

It is I'm afraid.  :-(

This feels like another shutout in the making.

6 k's in three innings is way too many.

5 straight strikeouts.

[RobertCrawley]

So I guess we're kind of stuck with Levering for the rest of our lives.

Especially when you have so little pop in the lineup.

This sorry bunch makes average pitchers look like Cy Young.

[yourout]

You could set it up there on a t and I don't think we could make solid contact.

Anderson doesn't want to watch this either.
