Game Thread: Twins@Brewers, 8/10 @ 7:10pm CT

To avoid the Gladden factor, I’ve been listening to Uecker the last three innings. He definitely shows his age in a not-so-good way, but he’s been going on about great Twins from the ’60s. The thought of him hitting a long homer off Jim Kaat in the Northern League goes way back.

Bob Uecker belongs in the hall of fame

He is, if you count the Ford Frick Award that he won in 2003. YouTube his induction speech — it’s hilarious. 

 

The MLB Network special on him from a month or so ago was also excellent.

I can’t believe he’s still doing games

[70charger]

No strikeouts? Geez. Get it together, man.

[Aggies7]

Serpico warming

[Aggies7]

Good lord this peralta Guy was unhittable

[Aggies7]

An 0-2 home run. Just like how it was 0-2 on dyson the other day

I never knew that, that was funny, saw Puckett in the audience... and yeah that definitely counts

Six outs, before they get two runs. C'mon Romo and Rogers.

 

/ edit - five outs

[LVTwinsfan]

Romo is awesome

[LVTwinsfan]

Kyle Gibson pitched 4 1/3 threw 89 pitches gave up 9 hits and 4 runs tonight against the Mariners

[Danchat]

Why isn't Peralta in Milwaukee's rotation? He's got some really good stuff and can clearly go several innings.

[Aggies7]

Welp I’m impressed by Mr Peralta

[Aggies7]

I will certainly take a win any way we can get it, but this was another poor offensive showing tonight

Thanks for the update!

 

I wish him better than that in the future...

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Is Rogers jolly?

I've had him in fantasy in past years. His strikeout rates always very high, but usually his outings are either like the one we just saw or he can't throw strikes and get out of the first inning. 

[mrtwinsfan]

Seeing that double, keeps haunting me of Yankee stadium call years ago

[mrtwinsfan]

Come on Taylor be Jolly

[Aggies7]

This is a ticklish situation

[Aggies7]

Finally

[MNT1996]

Good win. Offense still looks kind of stale though. 

[70charger]

That little monkey's off the team's back now, right?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Winnah!

Me too.

 

More than one way to skin a knee.

[mrtwinsfan]

Good Game Twins !!!

[shortround81]

We can back away from the ledge, Twins fans.

I put together a diary of sorts, tracking my thoughts throughout the game tonight. First time using that as an article format so I wasn't really sure what I was doing, but I think it came out ok. Give it a read if you have a few spare minutes:

Vintage Gibson! It probably took him 2 hours to get to that point, also, nibbling away.
