2012-05-18 Twins (Diamond) at Brewers (Estrada), 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 11-3]

[markedman5]

Estrada has given up the most hrs in the league......not a good stat to lead the league in.....

[pete]

6 straight pitches out of the zone - c'mon Marco

[crewcrazy]

I don't think I have seen a pitcher give up more HR on 0-2 counts than Marco. I am pretty sure the last 3 HR he has served up have been on 0-2 counts. That can't happen.

 

Replace Estrada with Greinke and this is a post from last June.

[pete]

HRs given up sparks my memory of Loop. He had the lucky rabbit's foot of run support though.

[cnycerveceros]

Why must they kill everything? Get some more runs, guys.

[pete]

I hate the contact play.

[Raw Biz]

Frickin Roenicke and having the team run into outs. Just ridiculous.

[yfinn6]

This has been a stupid bottom half of the inning. Seriously.

[trwi7]

I'm so damn tired of RRR running this team into outs.

[adambr2]

Yay for squashing any big inning possibilities brought forth by 1st and 2nd, nobody out, via reckless baserunning!

[cnycerveceros]

That inning was almost fun. Almost.

[FVBrewerFan]

Worries me that a major league manager doesnt know a contact play with the IF in makes no sense.

[crewcrazy]

Things could be worse. We could be stuck watching the Pirates every night.

[endaround]

Making things happen!

[markedman5]

it's amazing how many times we fail to get a guy in from 3rd with less then 2 outs......Maybe Luc needs to hit 4th instead of 5th..............

[pete]

Bunting with the corners crashing makes my brain hurt.

[adambr2]

I think RR's deficiencies are going to be a lot more glaring this year, because the talent simply isn't there to cover it up this time.

[cnycerveceros]

Things could be worse. We could be stuck watching the Pirates every night.

 

Or the Astros.

 

Oh, wait.

[FVBrewerFan]

What is trivia answer? My guess is Cameron?

[The stache]

Verlander with a no no through 8 1/3 tonight.

[crewcrazy]

The Astros have actually been hitting. This is the Pirates batting order tonight against Verlander: .238, .256, .344, .211, .230, .195, .157, .158, .186.

 

In OBPs: .256, .308, .405, .270, .253, .290, .232, .185, .286.

 

That's just absurd. People here can't stop complaining about Weeks...the Pirates have 6 guys hitting like Weeks. In a row.

[pebadger]

If Verlander finishes this with a grounder Prince might jump on somebody and hurt them.

[markedman5]

Kendall?

[pebadger]

And yet the Brewers are looking up at both of them.

[pebadger]

Well, at least Prince won't hurt anyone.
