Article: Game Thread: Twins @ Blue Jays, 8/3 @ 12:07pm CT

Wait, boyer is in, and not May or Jepsen?

 

What?

 

I mean, WHAT? How is that possible? Clearly, Trevor May is NOT yet the high leverage guy. But, hey, he's more valuable in the bullpen than starting.....

[DaveW]

Didn't Price have like 87 pitches through 4 innings, now he is at only 104 and surely will be out for the 8th if not the 8th and 9th? When his pitch count is that high, you have to make it a priority that you get him out of the game after 6 innings.

[LaBombo]

 

 

I wonder if Carlos Gomez makes the Astros feel Sexy? Or if Troy Tulozwitzki and David Price make the Jays feel Sexy.

 

Depends on the lighting, maybe?

 

But hey, Twins fans got Kevin Jepsen, the trade deadline's Sweat Pants and Pint of Hagen Daz..

The Twins coaching staff seems to maniacally adhere to the 100 pitch limit for their own pitchers, while steadfastly refusing to consider other teams might do the same, and have the hitters take a few more pitches.

[JB_Iowa]

Ugh, ugh, ugh. Can't take it anymore. Pitiful.

[zchrz]

Oh Boy ... errrrrrrr

[Aggies7]

That should have been strike 3 for boyer. And a horrendous throw from LF to boot.

[DaveW]

 

Quality Start!

Against the Jay's lineup, I will take 3ER in 6IP all day.

[Mike Sixel]

What happened, now? Can't tell on Gamecast.....other than, you know, boyer stinks. And is still on the roster. And is playing over May and Jepsen. Nice job, manager ......

[Ultima Ratio]

My head hurts. Sigh.

[DaveW]

So uh...time to get rid of Boyer, right?

[70charger]

Usually when I say "cut him," I'm being facetious because that person is doing really well. I'm not being facetious about Boyer. Cut him. Yesterday.

[GCTF]

I love this bullpen.

May hasn't gone back to back days. This actually seemed like a perfect opp for Jepsen, somewhat low leverage, a bunch of righties etc.

[70charger]

 

Bad news: I have to suffer through a Boyer appearance.

Good news: Just received a pretty kick ass job offer for a better gig.

 

Congrats!

 

I mean the second thing.

[DaveW]

 

 

I love this bullpen.

Stupid Canadian, this is all your fault!

Rosario has proven his arm is very inaccurate.  Maybe he is a lot like Jaque.  No plate discipline, and a terribly inaccurate arm.

[James]

 

So uh...time to get rid of Boyer, right?

It's pretty hard to defend keeping Boyer on this staff.  It was difficult last week, it's down right impossible after today. 

[Mike Sixel]

So, you move a good SP to the bullpen, and won't use him back to back days. got it.

[GCTF]

Deport Boyer!

[LaBombo]

If you played Let's Make a Deal with opposing teams and offered them a chance to face Boyer to start an inning or forfeit the inning in exchange for a run, would it even matter to them what the game situation was?

 

Yes, his ERA is below 9, but wouldn't almost any team right now, under almost any circumstances, have a go at Boyer instead of exchanging the inning for a free run?

[70charger]

 

O/U on runs this inning - 

 

2.5

 

You set that line pretty well.

[GCTF]

 

Stupid Canadian, this is all your fault!

I want this bullpen out of my country right meow.

[LaBombo]

 

 

So uh...time to get rid of Boyer, right?

 

Not sure how to break this to you Dave, but someone has been posting on your account while you were in that coma during the month of July...

[LaBombo]

Amen, kitty kat.   Just don't bring it back here, either.

Couldn't you substitute the name Duensing in the above post and have the exact same expected answer?

[Danchat]

Boyer can't be on this team much longer. I don't even need to explain why.

[Platoon]

Yup.    Then he Rick Reeded his hand picking up his duffel bag, but that's off the record.

Not to speak of Kirby hurting his eye sleeping!

[70charger]

No Foxtrax for that Escobar "strike"?
