2012-05-19 Twins (Pavano) at Brewers (Gallardo), 3:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 5-4, 11 innings]

[crewcrazy]

It's sort of funny how much flak Weeks gets for striking out all the time, but Hart is immune. That's number 44 for him.

 

.843 OPS for Hart vs .594 OPS for Weeks

 

True, but it's not like the strikeout complaints weren't there for Weeks when he was OPSing in the .800s.

 

Nice to see Morgan beat out an infield single. Effort's still there for him, even if he's having trouble hitting the ball hard.

Morgan on 2nd, nobody out and Braun at the plate. Roenicke says time to bunt.

Let's see how they can fail to get the run in here.

 

EDIT: Thank God for Lucroy

Hit and run?

Yuni > Rickie

I have honestly never seen a player struggle to the point that Rickie Weeks is this year. I know Pujols is struggling but I don't watch him nearly every day.

[pete]

I know its the kind of dopey thing a fan would say, but I'd make sure his vision is ok.

[crewcrazy]

Rickie's just trying way too hard at the plate right now. Looks like he wants to swing at everything that's close. That won't be how he breaks out of this.

Not only is he swinging at everything close he is trying to pull every thing that is close. He should take a couple weeks off and just watch video of Braun and Lucroy. Perfect examples of how to not try too hard and take what they give you.

These guys seem to be sitting on off speed stuff.

[hawing]

In what universe did Tim Dillard become the first guy considered out of the pen?

[pete]

Pavano not yet at 70 pitches. This is painful.

Gameday has those two pitches almost exactly in the same place - one strike, one ball.

[pete]

Rock's ability to identify pitches makes Rickie look like a jedi.

[reillymcshane]

Think Aram could run a little harder. Pathetic looking.

[pete]

He looks nervous.

[pete]

Is a double play too much to ask?

[trwi7]

Juan Perez = the left handed Vinnie Chulk. Who knew?

[reillymcshane]

Good lord.

[markedman5]

This bullpen is just emabarrassing.........
