Brewers up 1-0 over the Twins.

 

I'm watching this game on MLB Extra Innings. I began watching and it was the FSN Milwaukee broadcast. I then flipped over and started watching the White Sox game and when I come back to the Brewers game it's the Twins FSN North broadcast. I've never seen or atleast noticed them switch like this before.

Brewers are really starting to get it together lately. If they go on any sort of run that resembles their start to the season, you can kiss the division goodbye.

[UMFan83]

Looks like the Brewers are going to win..what a shame, back to 6.5 back.

[TruffleShuffle]

eff you AL Central

[Schwarber Fan]

Freakin Twins can beta everyone at home except the Brewers... Suppan vs. rookie pitcher tomorrow as well. Their division lead could be 8 games by Monday.

I think the Brewers have once and for all proved that they are for real with their play against the Tigers and Twins.

Other than Verlander (the only game they've lost between those teams) they faced the back end of those rotations.

 

They also lost 2 of 3 to the Rangers (needing extra innings to avoid a sweep).

Freakin Brewers. I liked you when you sucked.

And?

 

Wins are wins.

His point, I believe, was that because those wins came against the worst pitchers on said good teams, they don't mean as much as far as proving how good the Brewers actually are. I'd be inclined to agree. They certainly don't guarantee that we'll see the beginning of the season Brewers for the rest of the year.

I think it proves a lot. You have to beat who you face and they did.

 

Doesn't seem like other teams in the AL are having a real easy time against the Tigers one way or another. Just containing that offense is an accomplishment.

You have to beat who you face, but what starters go during the series make a big difference as far as determining "who you face". The othe teams in the AL have to face both the Tigers and Twins better pitchers as well. As far as offense goes, containing the Tigers is impressive, containing the Twins, not so much.

 

They are definitely the team to beat in the division by virtue of their current record alone, but I would go about crowning them just yet. They've had their struggles, and I'm sure they will continue to in the future.

My point was just that I think it's fairly safe to say now that they will be there until the end.

That is a fair statement. What "for real" means can be interpreted in many ways. I would agree that the Brewers will probably be leading or in the race for the rest of the season.
