5/13-15 vs. Minnesota (H)

[btownqb]

Last home series of the season. Saturday's game is on regular BTN. Friday's game will be no issue weather wise. Will go off without a hitch. Saturday looks iffy, Sunday will probably be fine. 

Perkins and Brehmer continue to be the key. 

Offense has to keep slugging. Serruto has hit a lot better, and is significantly better behind the plate then Ellis. Still not sure what's up with Glasser-- kid was hitting .340/.450-- we need him back. 

 

[btownqb]

10 conference game- Glasser was hitting .385/.480

[btownqb]

Glasser back in the lineup. 

1-9 this is as good of a lineup as we have had in my short fandom. Lots of depth. 

 

[btownqb]

Well... we are up 8-6 T9 

We scored 6 in the B8. Whalen+Pyne back to back 2 run singles. 

Sharp in. 

Lead off hitter 3-2 count

Yep. Sharp threw 40p to get through the inning but he did it. 

Brehmer will start tomorrow. Everyone is available imo. Maybe no Hayden. 

But... Tucker, Holderfield, Bothwell.. allll available. Minnesota used a ton of arms, but admittedly idk anything of what they used. Bottom line, willing to bet if Brehmer simply gives you 5IP of solid ball we should be fine. 

[btownqb]

I also have no clue how we will play tomorrow lol

Rain all day

[btownqb]

Makes sense

 

[btownqb]

DHer tomorrow now. 

B2 1 out in the first game. 

I know, not much about baseball, but Brehmer threw 27p today, idk why he can't throw 25-30p tomorrow? Again.. idk anything about it, but surely that's an option. 

w/o him-- 16 innings for tomorrow. Tucker and Bothwell could throw 55-85p-- hopefully can eat 8-9 of those innings. We'll see.. I would also assume Minnesotas arms might be taxed. 

Sharp could throw another 40-55p tomorrow, as well. Holderfield is around that limit, as well.

B8 

10-0 IU 

Bothwell 6IP 8K 0H 0R 2BB 95p. I assume his day is done, he was fantastic. 

Pyne 2-4 2 2B 3RBI

Whalen 2-4 2RBI 

Mathison 2-4 1HR 2RBI

[btownqb]

SAC Fly FR Johnson 

11-0

[btownqb]

Also.. no one warming in the pen. Looks like Bothwell is going to get the 9th. 

[btownqb]

Wild pitch

12-0

[btownqb]

12-0 F 

Bothwell goes 7IP 0H 3BB 8K 111p

We held Minnesota to one hit. 

Game 2 starts at 2pm.

[btownqb]

Brehmer starting game 3. Started game 2 and threw 27p. 

I assume he can throw 30-40p today, at least. Just needs to be sharp. 

[btownqb]

Brehmer through 2 scoreless. 24p. 

[btownqb]

Ellis 16HR

1-0 T3

[btownqb]

B3 3-1 Minnesota 

2 run HR

Brehmer 2.2IP 3H 3K 1BB 3ER 44TP

So for the weekend he was 4.2IP 5K 4H 3ER 71p 2BB--- nothing wrong with that. We will need that out of him on Friday in Iowa. 

Tucker on the bump. He can throw 60-80p easy. Still have Holderfield for 40p and Sharp for 40p. Pitching is there, offense will need to get back going. 

[btownqb]

B4 6-1 

Holderfield struggled. Sharp finished the inning.  

[btownqb]

Cut it to 6-4. Had bases loaded and struck out. Minnesota got one back in T6. 

7-4 Gophers B6 

[btownqb]

We get two more back.

T7 7-6  Sharp back out there. 

[btownqb]

Sharp found it that inning. 2K 11p 

Here we go. 

[btownqb]

Minnesota CF robbed Mathison of a game tying HR. 

T8 7-6 Minnesota 

Stahl in to p. 

[btownqb]

Glasser single, Doanes RBI 2B.. error on a SAC bunt... Whalen RBI single. 

8-7 IU 

1st and 2nd no outs. Jesse up. I would certainly assume Stahl will get the 9th. 

[btownqb]

Jesse walks. Bases loaded no outs. Pyne can get some redemption after being rung up on a chest high pitch the last AB
