Game 111 — Brewers at Twins

It’s the second game of 2-game series against the Brew Crew. Then they all pack it up and head to Milwaukee and do the same thing for two more games. No word if they share a plane back to MKE. I’ve gone on the record against these two-and-two series against your other league rival. Back in the day, the weekend series against your rival was a blast. Mainly because it was on the weekend. It created excitement and memories, made fans out people not necessarily fans. Who knows, maybe they’d come back for another game sometime.

Now tonight is supposed to be gorgeous weather-wise and the crowd should be decent, but it’s really a lost opportunity. But then again, it’s MLB. What are you going to do? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Mejia against Matt Garza. Should be a fun game. I’ll be there in those trendy Catch seats, eating free Tapas and drinking free Summit bear with the boy. I may have to cancel Wednesday morning meetings.

  1. Hey Rows, got the game on here in Old Chicago, and my fish & chips order has been placed.

    Oh and hey, look at that - there's a Red Sox / Yankees game advertised too... those kind of rare matchups are always an attraction.

  2. I don't know that noticing that almost all the starting pitchers in your division are right-handed really qualifies as "research".

  3. I agree with you on the two-two home and home Interleague series. Lets be honest, both these team could use and extra days gate each playing the rival team.

  4. Seeing Garza always reminds me of the four young(-ish) pitchers the Twins had in 2006/2007.

    Pitcher G IP rWAR
    Scott Baker 193 1064.2 15.8
    Boof Bonser 111 416.2 -0.5
    Matt Garza 282 1684 15.4
    Francisco Liriano 307 1596.2 17.1
    Kevin Slowey 139 662 4.8

    Baker managed ten seasons but Garza now is in his 12th season and likely has a few more left.

    Edit: Forgot about Liriano and added him.

    1. Relatedly, Garza is the one that relieved Liriano in Liriano's final appearance of his 2006 season.

    1. I want to point out that I called the home run, where it would go and the location of the pitch he'd got it on.

  5. Anyone able to pinch hit for my game log tomorrow? Traveling & Not a fan of posting one from my phone.

  6. Dazzle celebrating the possible destruction of electronics after a foul ball goes into the press box. Provus promises to investigate.

  7. Did you know: Byron Buxton has attempted to steal 3rd only once in his career, and he was thrown out.

  8. Apparently, no one has ever held down the bullpen bench like Busenitz because he is never allowed to get off it. He's pitched all of 1 inning since July 25 and that was on Aug. 1. You can see how critical it is to have a 13-man pitching staff.

  9. If Meija is going to be out for a while, tonight is a good night to stretch out Gee.

    1. Hey, sorry I couldn't get down to meet up. It's my mom's birthday so I figured I should stick around.
