Why not give Trevor one more chance and a possible win.

 

[John Kelsey]

 

I think that May needs to be replaced with Milone and Duensing needs to be replaced with Dean.

 

May > Milone

[Hrbowski]

 

Wut??

Milone has been brilliant at AAA, and May has been letting everything get away.

[Hrbowski]

 

May > Milone

No, May gives up to many two strike cookies.

Rays announcers: This game has come down to bullpen strength and bullpen depth.

Milone is what he is, May has way more upside and needs more time with the Twins not Rochester.

[USAFChief]

Mauer should bunt.  Seriously.  There's nobody anywhere near the 3b line.

 

Edit:  That'll work too.

Um, I think May's upside is a #4 starter, and Milone is a better #4 starter...

[USAFChief]

May pitched well, but probably faced at least 3 too many hitters.

 

I'd have let him start the 7th, but pulled him after the leadoff double.  He got lucky with Cabrera after falling behind, and fell behind Beckham.

[Squirrel]

Cmon, cmon Plouffee!

Yup.

NICE!!!!!!!!! THROW 'EM WHERE THEY 'AIN'T.

This

[Squirrel]

Yup.

That's my 'concur'

[USAFChief]

Get the ball in the OF, please, Kurt.  Kthanks.

[Craig Arko]

Ray's trying to give it back. Let them.

[D. Hocking]

A positive in this discussion is that they are both better or have a lot of potential to be better than the parade of "pitchers" we were bringing out as our fourth and fifth starters two years ago.

[Hrbowski]

Nice job, Suzuki!

[Squirrel]

Okay, that works ...

[twinsnorth49]

Good chance to change the theme here fellas, don't waste it.

[Hrbowski]

 

Um, no.

I think hitters are hitting over .300 on May, and Milone has been way better then that this year. We are talking about a team that is in playoff contention.

[Squirrel]

Yes! Yes! Esco!

 

Let's keep it rolling, guys!

In May. I'm not a big believer in Milone, leaven it at that Twins are going to score.

[USAFChief]

Es-co-four-for-four-bar!

See!!

Care to comment on that?

Ladies and gentlemen: Relax, pour a tall glass of milk, and bite into an Esco-bar.

Is that anything like an OHenry?

[Hrbowski]

Why? Don't you think we should want him to be injury free?
