maeda is dealing!

 

A bunt attempt to break it up? Sogard might get one in his earhole tomorrow for that.

No. This is what the problem with the classic baseball thinking is. The Twins closest person to the 3rd baseline was Maeda, and then someone playing at the classic shortstop positioning. The game is 1-0. The Brewers need baserunners. If Sogard gets on via a bunt single, good for him. Way different story if Twins are up 8-0 right now.

does anyone really wonder who the Twins "Ace" is now?

Yeah, that was a fine bunt attempt.

 

Take what they give ya!

all that is true but he still might get one in his ear hole tomorrow night...

I doubt it. Rocco doesn't strike me as a guy that believes in unwritten rules, and even if he did, that wasn't breaking one.

Twins finally getting some props on MLB Network tonight. Cliff Floyd was going off on how great Cruz has been (and replaying a segment from spring training), and Dan Plesac was loving the powder blues.

those guys know what's up....the rest of the world can't deny it forever.....we are here to STAY

its kind of cool to hear the ump go STRIKE!

cum on Kenta.......(i cross my fingers tight)

Just flew in...not really...and boy are my arms tired!

 

INTERESTING GAME!!

Who is this Maeda guy, where did he come from, and how long do we have him for?

YESSSSSSS

Good question.

 

Stay tuned for the answer!

damn i love this guy....What a great trade!

KKKKKKKKKKenta!

This game is so worth watching even if I have to stay up the entire night for it. (I live in Europe.)

I'd be surprised to see Maeda back out there for the 8th

Sano again!!! Gotta get him in

Look at Frosty go.

I dunno, they should give it to him. Only 91 pitches, hasn't given up a hit... Maeda won't die if he goes over 100 pitches today.

SA-YES the big man breaks it out!!!!!

Excited and pumped and you want history and you never want to pull a pitcher with a no-hitter...but...over 90 pitches and 2 innings to go and the short season...just have to think about pulling Maeda soon don't you???

mr. Clutch is due for a big base hit....

BTW, Brewers uniforms look like a little league team but I LOVE them!

I’m with Milldaddy. He’s thrown 80-85 pitches in his four games so far, so he’s already past that. If it was through eight, I’d let him go, but he’s almost certainly not going to get another 25 pitches to go through two more innings. 

Adrianza pinch runs for Sano.

 

Portends the strong fielding team for the remainder of the game.

Good eye Avila!

Maeda needs to finish this if he doesn't allow another baserunner, but I also don’t want another Johan Santana situation.... I’m conflicted

I know what you're saying, but 85 is the most he has thrown prior to this and it's a 1-0 game. If the score is 5+ to 0 you surely send him out, but that isn't the case here. I do think you probably see Maeda out to start the inning, but one Duffey/May/Romo will be ready as soon as we see a baserunner

With the game at 1-0, I could see another inning because of the game situation and how well he’s dealing. If they get a couple here, I definitely go to the pen.
