Oh please…. they were winning by 6 and the manager went to his lockdown relievers to get them work, and the players were lackadaisical allowing Minnesota to climb back into the game. 

Yes Lackadaisical Brewers is the perfect word.

Giving up 17 hits doesn't help either.

[RobertCrawley]

Very close.

Guessing they bring someone up from Nashville.  DL is walking too many guys.

All that just for Ortiz to stare at a dead red fastball.

So they have to get work in the early innings and not in the 8th and 9th? I see....

In a very real sense, every out is worth the same. I appreciate there is more pressure in the later innings.

I don’t fault Murphy for wishing his high leverage relievers would prevent the game from becoming close on a high scoring day.

[RobertCrawley]

Ortiz caught looking for the breaker to slap to right.

Dayton Lane and Koenig haven't been good.

Wellp, here we go.  Hope Trevor can find a way to keep the lead.

He looked good in the 8th.

Thought that was gone off the bat. Buckle down here Trevor

[RobertCrawley]

Meatball.

"They are two elite level pitches."

Literally a second later Bader cranks one to the wall.

Here comes a double steal followed by an intentional walk then a single 

[adambr2]

Just a horrible pitch to Bader.

[Bulldogboy]

Well glad everyone got their work in today. 😆 

[kevinisaname]

[RobertCrawley]

He's overthrowing now.

[RobertCrawley]

The worst thing for the Twins. Pop up.

[kevinisaname]

I’m sure the plan was to have Hall finish it, and not have Mears, Koenig or Megill pitch at all. 

[jason21nl]

Gutsy as hell!!!!!
