2020-08-18: Brewers (Burnes) at Twins (Maeda) [Brewers lose, 4-3 in 12 innings -- Brewers spoil Maeda’s no hit bid in the 9th and rally for 3 runs, but fail to get a run across in extras]

[adambr2]

Gamel is a big ol non tender nexr year.

NO HITTER

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

At some point you have to do something about Gamel.

 

They all look lost, but he's on the side of a milk carton.

[Eye Black]

Maeda has started 107 major league games and he is now at his career high pitch count.

[homer]

Well he's at 113 pitches. Do they bring him out for the 9th?

[HarveysWBs]

Maeda has started 107 major league games and he is now at his career high pitch count.

 

Though they did say he threw 155 pitches once...in Japan...ten years ago.

[Bulldogboy]

Not having a decent alternative to Gamel right now is shameful. If Ray ,Taylor etc aren't better what is going on??

[PinaMadness]

So when the Twins come out for the ninth, do they all wear their masks so they can celebrate at the mound and carry Maeda off on their shoulders?

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Well, if there is one positive to take away, Burnes looked very good tonight against a great lineup.

[brewers888]

If Yelich isn't hitting at an MVP level and Hiura continues to strike out at this rate this offense will be one of the worst in baseball. We know that Sogard and Smoak can't get it done but our star offensive players have both been terrible.

Yea, he’s not a young arm your trying to protect. An older veteran you let him go.

So you've mentioned ... repeatedly.

Indeed

[brewers888]

Perdomo is huge.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

If the Twins score here, I might sort of hope we get no hit? I mean, it's going to happen at some point. Might as well be the guy on my fantasy team.

[wildcat83]

I’m only staying up to see Sogard bunt to leadoff the 9th

Yes, seeing Burnes have success as a starter is really, really encouraging. The good news is this team has a pretty good collection of arms overall.

[homer]

I think Angel is nervous.

Off of what are we basing Hiura being a "star offensive player?" I guess he had a nice half season while striking out 35% of the time but so have over half of major league ball players. Personally, I need more of a sample size before I'm going that far.

[brewers888]

Probably nervous but this is ugly.

[wildcat83]

Perdomo is huge.

 

He literally blocks the entire CF camera angle.

Hiura has elite bat speed and was very good for us last year. He can definitely be a star offensive player.

[trwi7]

He's safe.
