GameChat – Brewers @ Twins #2, 7:10

It’s turn back the clock night in Target Field with fans encouraged to wear their best 1980s garb to the game. Honestly, I can’t remember what kind of stuff I wore in the 80s. I was still trying to get over the 70s.

I’m going to imbed this just for your viewing pleasure: Last night, the Kernels and Timber Rattlers had a little bench clearing dust up in Wisconsin. 3 people on each team were ejected. Two players and a coach from Wisconsin along with two Kernels players and the Twins’ minor league hitting coordinator Bill Springman. Mostly a lot of jawing. Doesn’t appear to me like anyone got their fine money’s worth out of this deal. The two teams play again tonight and Friday, though, and these two teams have been knocking down hitters since last week’s series in CR, so things may not yet be settled.

Now here’s tonight Brewers/Twins lineup

Milwaukee @ Minnesota
Segura, SS Santana, D, CF
Braun, RF Dozier, 2B
Lucroy, C Mauer, 1B
Gomez, C, CF Willingham, LF
Ramirez, Ar, DH Arcia, O, RF
Davis, Kh, LF Plouffe, DH
Gennett, 2B Nunez, 3B
Reynolds, Ma, 3B Pinto, C
Overbay, 1B Escobar, E, SS
  Peralta, W, P   Correia, P
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E
Milwaukee 0 0 0 3 0 3 0 0 2 8 13 0
Minnesota 0 0 4 0 0 0 0 1 0 5 9 1

Not only a loss, but a potentially bigger loss as Oswaldo Arcia sprained an ankle and is “day to day”. Ugh.

Episode 86: Josh Willingham is Not Dead Yet

Jason Kubel strikes out when he says it, but “This is Talk to Contact.” You can download the new Talk to Contact (@TalkToContact) episode via iTunes or click here you can download the new episode, and if you want to add the show to your podcast player, this is the RSS Feed.

This week on the podcast we talk about the resurgence of Josh Willingham since his return from the Disabled List (being healthy is pretty important, I guess), we ramble on a bit about Aaron Hicks and the failure of the front office to have any sort of reasonable back up plan (has this rant been beaten to death yet? Yes?  Good, we’ll keep bringing it up), and we talk about all of the students Down on the Pond pitching for the Rochester Red Wings (Alex Meyer, Trevor May, Logan Darnell, Kris Johnson, Yohan Pino and the still terrible Scott Diamond).

We all drank excellent beers, answered a question from the internet, gave a shout out to our listener of the week, and talked all things baseball news going Around the League.
96 minutes of baseball joy.
Thanks for playing along!

Enjoy the show.
