Twins (Bradley) vs Brewers (Gasser): 8/8/26, 6:10pm

[RWeeksFan23]

Pinch running Lockridge for contreras ended up being huuuuuge.

[Yaz19]

VAUGHN - Best ever update on Gameday!

[Brian]

Lockridge sure can still run. 

[edfunderburk]

Nice hit by Vaughn! So good to have Lockridge rounding the bases instead of Contreras. 

[TURBO]

Wait, Vaughn got a base hit of a righty?

You don't say...

What if I think that we are still big favorites to hold on while acknowledging the reality that cubs could actually catch us   They actually have a good team and might be a little better than we are now

Where does that put me

It puts you in the game thread talking about the trade deadline.

Yelich. Man

Exactly where you are every year. 

[edfunderburk]

I surely hope Ortiz doesn’t land on the IL. I think adding Williams - who hasn’t played (hit) well in Nashville - would require a 40-man move.

Murphy PR for Contreras there gave the brewers a run 

[edfunderburk]

We may very well sneak a win here … & The Miz throws tomorrow 

[MilwaukeeBeers]

Shut it down Trevor! Man imagine if May started his Brewers era like Holmes just did chat would be on fire. Good thing we got a much better pitcher for less.

He's an idiot though right?

[edfunderburk]

I believe this is game 9 of 17 in this stretch of no days off.

Interesting Vaughn stat.

.187 first AB vs starter. 

.385 2nd AB

.375 3rd AB

Bump.

Maybe starting him is better than pinch hitting him.

It was a great decision.

I will admit, he got that one right.  I know how much managers hate being forced to use the backup catcher.

[RWeeksFan23]

too close for comfort there for larnach. whew!

Isn’t that how it goes here? Ortiz bad start this season everyone wanted to DFA him. Now he doesn’t start and people are pissed at Murphy for not playing him 

#smallsamplesizes

Three months is not a small sample size. I think people are pissed because Ortiz was finally heating up and Hamilton is one step above useless.

[jason21nl]

Hell yeah!!

Well he sits the teams best hitter about one out of every three games so there's that. 

[TwinsBrewersWorldSeries]

Well done gents.  I didn’t think we were going to win toduy

[willie key]

Needed that one.   Megill is good

Which is why Murphy tried getting an extra inning from Drohan yesterday and Gasser threw almost 100 pitches today 

SD/LA next as well
