Where'd all these Strikeouts come from?

 

 

Fryer- he invented pitch framing

[ashbury]

Gibby carving people up

 

Pitch count's high though. Sixth inning is not being kind to him.

[Tibs]

Our offense really needs to pick it up

heart of the order coming up - now's the time . . .

True enough but Boston has only scored a whopping 3 runs this series as well, seen some good pitching all around.

Time for Mauer to sit down for a game. This is getting ridiculous. I'm a huge fan, but no one in their right mind can think he's unlucky. Or battling his tail off. It's bad.

Did not go according to plan.

Agreed, he's reminding me of post concussion Morneau more and more all the time, scary.

I was going to like your post... but I don't like it. I just agree with it.

It's not quite Willie Mays falling down in the outfield in his Mets uniform, but the season Mauer is having is really depressing to witness.

I'm not sure what 1 game will do, unless you're thinking he's dogging it somehow and needs an attitude readjustment. Maybe a 15-day DL stint - Doctor Ashbury is diagnosing bilateral cerebral cortex weakness, carrying over from last season's concussion.

[twinsnorth49]

Gibson up over 100 pitches 2nd straight game, Bert would be pleased.

/ ruled a basehit.

Concur.

[Kirby_waved_at_me]

Thank goodness for the pitcher's best friend.

 

Now, a rally!

[twinsnorth49]

DP bails out Mauer.................impressive performance by Gibson, very encouraging.

I was hoping a game (or two or three) off would just give him a mental break- he's clearly fighting himself. A DL stint would be fine with me, though I would have to turn off the internet to avoid blowing up at all the "Mauer's soft" diatribes. The guy has a problem, no question about it, and it's probably concussion related.

[ashbury]

Concur.

 

Noooooo! Don't take away my Like!

7 pitch inning

[glunn]

It looks like Parm has all of the Twins' hits today. Hopefully he can start something here.

[Kirby_waved_at_me]

3/5ths of the rotation is performing lights out right now - if only the bats would wake up, the Twins could be a few more games up in the standings.

[twinsnorth49]

7 pitch inning

Well it was the 7th inning, makes sense.

[Guest USAFChief]

I wish someone would've let Lackey know he's a "decline phase" player.

[ashbury]

According to Jerry Remy, someone named Naver is playing left field.

[twinsnorth49]

I'd let him know if I could.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Nice hit for Escobar down the line.

 

Only he got gunned down at second...

 

Is that due in part to a shallow left fielder because of the Monster? (As well as a superb throw, of course)

 

Seeing where it was hit, i kinda thought it was shoe-in for a double...

[ashbury]

I wish someone would've let Lackey know he's a "decline phase" player.

 

If someone would inform the Twins' batters, they could relay the message to him.

[twinsnorth49]

Oh boy, Duensing!

[TheLeviathan]

I wish someone would've let Lackey know he's a "decline phase" player.

 

Given where he was at three years ago someone might want to check if he's actually a zombie.
