2018-05-18: Brewers (Suter) at Twins (Gibson) 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 8-3]

[MrTPlush]

Why didn’t we DH for Arcia? Suter’s career OPS is higher than Arcia’s OPS this year.

 

On another note I’d love to see Villar find success...that speed is so great to have in the line up. Infield hits galore even when not hitting too well.

[markedman5]

Let's see if Choi makes the most of the call-up. Braun and his aches and pains on the DL finally. Good game from Suter will be much appreciated too.

 

Ji-Man makes me happy........

[MoreTrife]

Please forgive me for being lazy and not looking it up myself: when is Peralta's next probable start?

 

Tomorrow.

[adambr2]

I hope Choi makes it very difficult to send him back down.

[YelichPosse]

That was such a nice compact stroke on that homer !

[pacopete4]

Problem is I can’t see anyone else leaving at this point.

We'll see. A few months ago we thought there was no way they had room for Aguilar (I was one of those people anyway) and now he's pretty much considered totally safe.

 

They've done well to find room for guys who deserve to be here. Maybe they can get creative enough to find room for one more if he can prove he deserves to be here too.

Who goes? Saladino I guess could be one. Perez is a cat with nine lives. Maybe go short a reliever? I don’t know.

 

Heck, maybe Aguilar since he’s trending backwards through the month of May.

[adambr2]

Buxton really isn't that much different than Keon Broxton. Trouble for the Twins is he was a top prospect so he'll get all the time in the world.

[sveumrules]

Arcia ditching the leg kick for a toe tap on that double.

I'm putting the horse way before the cart here because Choi hasn't proven he belongs yet. But I was thinking more like roster accounting tricks than any one particular guy. Williams goes down for 10 days every so often, Barnes goes down for 10 every so often. Suter could go down anytime. 5th starters could go down when they won't be needed.

 

Braun will probably hit the DL every 1-2 months. Stuff like that while over the course of the season basically affords you another roster spot.

[MrTPlush]

You cannot release Hernan Perez if you plan on carrying 3 1B.

[markedman5]

Praise Jesus!

Not aguilar.

Okay, I can see that plan. Wasn’t thinking that direction. Makes sense if you can finagle it.

[LaprilOne]

I thought this was an in game thread.

[pacopete4]

In that last at bat for Shaw he saw blood in the water and tried to hit one to the moon lol.

[istanbultaye]

After starting out hot going 2/2 over the first 7 weeks of the season, Choi has slumped in his last AB, going 0/1.

[MrTPlush]

I thought this was an in game thread.

 

Nope!

[markedman5]

Suter trying to give the " brewer fan hates me sign" to somebody else...

[adambr2]

I thought this was an in game thread.

 

Nope!

 

This is one of the better IGTs so far actually. Free and easy casual conversation, no confrontation, and game discussion. Usually Page 1 and 2 are for talking about how dumb the lineup is and by this page we're just talking about how much we suck.

It's a long season full of ups & downs. I will withhold final judgement on Ji Man for at least two more plate appearances.

[brewerswinNLcentral]

guys, i think thus is our most potent lineup, with perez as a super sub..and its nice to see suter breeze so far

[markedman5]

That's got to be an out

[adambr2]

Tough, but Aguilar needs to snag that.
