It's a difficult call. If Casilla wouldn't have made the play cleanly it probably would have been ruled a hit since it was a very tough play ranging over to the middle. But since he did pick it clean he gets penalized for not making a very difficult throw? I'd call it a hit. -
Nice block by Lucroy there. that could have been devastating if they scored and continued the inning on a wild pitch strike out.
-
I like letting Narveson work here. 4 Run lead and the Twins don't really have any home run threats. Narveson needs to get better with guys on base, and he'll never get better unless he is given a chance to work through some of them.... Check that. Mauer and and Thome now up, pull him. Although it's tough to pull the lefty. Good move by Gardenhire.
-
I love it when young guys break out of mini slumps before they become out and out statistical depressions. We still aren't exactly sure how good Lucroy is, but things are looking pretty good right now. Bottom of the order has been huge today.
-
From my college days I seem to remember a whole slew of cheap terrible beers that people who don't like any kind beer drink just because it is cheap and has a nominal amount of alcohol in it. Keystone, Busch, Natural, Beast, etc.
-
Twins defense is very un-Twins like. Just terrible baseball.
-
I agree. It also depends on who is up next. The Twins lineup is less than inspiring so even if they do give up a single it doesn't have a great shot at being turned into a run.
-
Lucroy had Repko there. It was a nice throw.
-
Alright this is just weird. At first I thought he head his head, which would explain a lot, but the replay just makes it look like it's just an ankle injury. Is being strapped to a gurney really necessary?
-
Ouch. Delmon Young misplayed the ball, tripped on his pride, hit his head on the wall, twisted his ankle and let Yuni run all the way around the bases. Sorry to see the guy hurt, but that was painful for everybody to watch.
-
To be fair, Span, Kubel, Morneau, and Thome are out. And when they weren't out, Mauer, Young, and Nishioka were out. They've had an unprecedented run of injuries.
-
I feel like Yuni would be a pretty decent third baseman. He seems to have good footwork, good hands and a good arm. He's just not that mobile. Not to mention that he can't even hit at the level of an MLB SS let alone an MLB 3rd baseman.
-
Sadly you might be right.I actually think something like this might be the wave of the future in baseball. Just have Weeks and Braun flip infield positions depending on if a left-handed or right-handed player is at bat. Weeks probably isn't quite good enough defensively to do this, but you could really hide a poor infielder and really show off a stud infielder by doing this, and could get another big stick in the lineup.
-
Good time to be aggressive but Betancourt is pretty slow so he never really had a shot.
-
Just got in and I see that it's going to be a long night AND we are going to rock Liriano http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Jose Bautista! Nice. Hopefully the Toronto BP can hold on. 5-4 in the ninth now.
-
Axford's last 7 appearances: 7 IP, 0 ER, 1 H, 2 BB, 9 Ks. Last 13 appearances: 13 IP, 0 ER, 6 H, 9 BBs, 18 Ks. He's in some kind of a groove right now.
-
It would make sense if somebody with speed was on first. But it was Fielder. Scoring on a double is very iffy with him on first.
-
Unless a batter hits so few singles that his BA is around .200 and is SLG is around .400, like Kottaras. Then a fair percentage of his hits are for extra bases, he just doesn't get many hits in general.
-
That Hughes AB was the only one that was annoying. Otherwise he is just painting the corners, an inch on or an inch off. The Twins are just being so patient that they are making him work. He's not exactly a guy who can just go out and challenge hitters.
-
I assume you mean going around 4-5 or 5-4 over the next nine, since the only way we'll fall below .500 overall is if we go 1-8, which would assuredly not be pretty good.
-
I agree with you for the most part, but it's not like managers and even players themselves are totally immune to the introduction of biases from positive results. Perhaps even moreso since it is probably psychological helpful to maintain the illusion that they have more control over what happens than they actually do.
-
There are certain injuries that are basically impossible to objectively diagnose. If a player has a high pain tolerance and is a good actor, there is literally nothing the training staff can do.
-
He does contradict himself when he brings up pitching to lower his FIP yet also pitching to the strengths of his defense. I don't really think his comments should be taken that seriously since they were initiated by a reporter who was obviously doing a story about advanced pitching stats. Still, I think this is an interesting discussion. The relative value of an out and a run depends on the score and the number of outs and innings remaining in the game. Sometimes you need to cut down that run at the plate, sometimes you need to take the double play. Sometimes an outfielder should catch the foul ball with a guy on 3rd and less that 2 outs and sometimes he should let it drop (although this situation is pretty rare these days with the new stadiums). Still, these are fielding strategy questions, not pitching strategy.

East Dakota! I love it. Yeah, they tend to think they are a cooler version of Wisconsin. I've always preferred Baja Manitoba.
