Is that Churio's 9th whiff in his last 12 ABs? 

Not that there's any great options in the minors right now, but Chourio should be sent down.  That K/BB ratio indicates a major problem.  Its not the end of the world that a 21 year old who was rushed up to the big leagues too early isn't ready for big league pitching.

I guess we feel with the talent on the roster they should be playing much better than they have been during this dreadful stretch.

Yeah I think so too and I think they'll turn it around.  People in yesterday's game thread calling out the fans for not booing more is stupid.

No, since 2018-2024. Including last year’s fluke season. The only thing the same is the uniforms for the most part. Maybe you can give them the benefit of the doubt, but it would be a miracle for them to compete for the division’s title this season with the players they have.

So last two years is conveniently a fluke but the last two weeks isnt?

I said, last year was the fluke not 2 years. What do your eyes tell you about the previous 2 weeks, with  the entire team in a hitting slump. We’ll see by September…or sooner.

I think it is frustration more than anything else.  The team has not been fun to watch.

[adambr2]

Of all the reasons we are struggling this year, Freddy Peralta’s name is nowhere on the list.

[duewizard]

Too bad Black is injured because I'd let him be a butcher at 3rd but give him consistent MLB ABs.

[yourout]

Durbin's mechanics are a mess right now. 

Overswinging and front toe coming off the ground and falling backwards 

And needs to be a little more vertical.

Too much squat.

[yourout]

Worried about the bullpen today.

[duewizard]

Its good to see Kozlowski back singing

[yourout]

Going to lose this aren't they.

[duewizard]

OH **** JACKSON

Forget everything Ive ever said of your defense

[JRob1125]

Well that was awesome 

[SomewhereInTime]

2 defensive runs saved

[HarryDoyle]

What a bizarro game.

That was a game saver because if the twins tied it Brewers were losing.

[yourout]

1 in a row. 

Need to go on a steak

[SomewhereInTime]

Good win!  God I love seeing the Twins lose!

[edfunderburk]

Megill is fun to watch pitch

Bill Schroeder is enjoyable to listen to as a broadcaster

Just so you are current:

Tyler isn't injured any longer. He's been rehabbing in the ACL with the ACL Brewers. He's played in 3 games with 8 AB since 5/15. Has a 2B, a 3B, 2 BB, 0 K, and has four pokes overall. He's played LF, 1B, and DH. I don't think 3B is in his future any longer but they may give him some run again given the desperation of the current Brewers situation? Either way, the Brewers brass certainly are trying given their options.

Yeah I've been following. He's still a few weeks away probably right? Like 1 more week in Arizona and then at least a few ABs in Nashville before they even consider bringing him up

My point exactly. Durbin is dangerously close to a .400 OPS so Black's awful defense can be stomachable me thinks. And he also gets regular MLB at bats. Obviously will never be a long term 3B but gives him some time. Alternatively he gets playtime in the OF? He can certainly take ABs from Collins and Bauers in my book

[Brian]

Durbin can go. But thats it for Tyler Black. https://www.mlb.com/player/jake-bauers-641343 

Collins is better also.

Was anyone else watching the Twins' broadcast today?

I could've sworn I heard Cory Provus say that the Brewers haven't been 5 games under .500 since 2016. Did I hear that right?? Is that accurate?
