Game thread: Twins vs Brewers 6/05 @7:10CT, Milwaukee and Minnesota edition

[ashbury]

Hicks puts the pressure on with the bunt, and the Brewers' reliever Jeffress doesn't stand up to it very well.

They want no part of Mauer Power

[JB_Iowa]

We'll be seeing that Mauer HR clip for games & games to come.

 

He doesn't hit 'em often but the 2 this year have been timely.

[twinsnorth49]

 

Escobar hits the ball hard but right at Gomez, as usual.

The foul out to third was crushed...............

[TheLeviathan]

That Mauer home run was really an eye opener.  He's scuffling but damn that was timely.

[Craig Arko]

Now in the hands of the pen...

 

Until Sunday.

[stringer bell]

Gibson with a quality non-quality start. Over 100 pitches with the top of the order coming up. Does he come out for the eighth?

Guess Not.

[Pius Jefferson]

Anyone know how long that home run from Mauer was? The one in Pittsburgh was 405 feet according to ESPN home run and tonight's didn't look like a band-box homer.

[stringer bell]

Strand him.

[JB_Iowa]

Switched to the kindle. Can someone else CBU?

[stringer bell]

Oops.

[twinsnorth49]

WTF.....................was that?!!

[formerly33]

Sí.

[stringer bell]

CBU-Gomez with a long double off the scoreboard. Lind follows with a double to right that Torii misplayed. 6-5 Brewers. Now a pop fly between home and the mound. Nobody wanted it and Zuke dives and fails to catch it. With two outs Lind is running from second and scores. 7-5 Brewers after seven and a half.

[glunn]

Hunter did not take the best route there, but I don't believe that Arcia would have come close,

[twinsnorth49]

FFS!.........................

[glunn]

That was a very bad play.  Someone should have called that.

 

 

[Kirby_waved_at_me]

harrumph.

[ashbury]

 Lind follows with a double to right that Torii misplayed.

 

Lind ended up on second, so what was the misplay? Torii misplayed it into a double that wasn't called an error?

[kydoty]

I don't know what's more embarrassing, the massive brainfart, or the fact that they gave the batter a hit.

[formerly33]

Jonathan Lucroy singles on a foul ball that Fien, Zuke, and Mauer let drop.

[Craig Arko]

One more comeback?

He misjudged how deep/high it was, and it just cleared his glove.

 

As the camera wasn't on him at the crack of the bat, it's hard to tell. It might have just been hit barely over him.

Yes.

One more comeback?

You've got my attention...

[twinsnorth49]

One would hope I think.

Gladden says he started in then tried to re-adjust.

[glunn]

That run on the pop up was inexcusable.  Someone needed to take charge, preferably Mauer.

[glunn]

 

 

Gladden says he started in then tried to re-adjust.

 It appeared to me that he took a lateral route - he did not go in or back.  If he had gone a bit farther back or jumped he might have caught it, but it seemed to me to be a difficult ball to catch because it was traveling flat at high velocity,

He ran in on it, completely misjudged the trajectory or how hard it was hit.
