I know Perk isn't a LOOGY but would it not make sense to bring him
In here?

Lefties have lit up Perk pretty good this year.

[SwainZag]

 

Molitor foresaw extra innings, else he'd have pinchrun for Sano.

Shut 'em down (or up. Both are good) Jepsen!

I have a feeling if he would have been on 2nd he would have been pinch run for

[Jham]

 

a)  Hoey didn't throw 99, and 

 

 That he could throw mid-90s was the only reason he even got where he did.

 

How hard does Meyer ACTUALLY throw?  Could he have some Betonces in him?

[amjgt]

Their starter had his face broken in the 2nd inning. That's why their (6-man) bullpen is a mess.

 

What's our excuse?

Bottle flu? All season long.

[DaveW]

Good work Jepsen! Now just to PH Vargas for Suzuki and we can end this game soon! Oops

[mikeee]

 

Jim Hoey says "Hey."

So does Mike MacDougal.

[ScrapTheNickname]

I think you ride the Jepsen horse until he can't run no more.

We couldn't be that lucky

[S.]

Wonder if we'll see May. He couldn't have thrown all that many pitches on Friday.

Betances average 96.9 this year, Hoey averaged 95.3 in his long 2 year career.  I will say....I really thought Hoey was hitting the high 90's, but apparently I am wrong.

[DaveW]

Jepsen is solid, it's the rest of the bullpen not named Perkins I worry about. I'd bring him back out for the 10th if it's still tield for sure. Then Perk for 11/12, then pray for rain?

My guess is we'll never know, because next spring he'll go back into Rochester's rotation and waste another year.

[amjgt]

Hey, guys, how about we work some counts since, you know, they don't have any more relievers left

[DiscGolfer]

49 pitches on friday, you'd think they could still use him.

[USAFChief]

According to Dickbert, the Twins would rather not use him tonight.

 

 

[Aggies7]

Brutal brutal at bats that inning.

Whats that old saying? Bat a fast inning to get your pitchers back out on the mound? Yeah...thats it.

[DaveW]

Apparently the Yanks Bullpen is done at this point. Miller can maybe go one more inning and then perhaps it's Sabathia time.

[DaveW]

According to Dickbert, the Twins would rather not use him tonight.

seems to be the theme of 2015 in general in regards to May.

[Aggies7]

Perkins now? Don't like that move.

[mikeee]

perk.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Perkins' time!

[Jham]

He is the word...  Perkins... 15 day DL

[Aggies7]

AAaand thats why that move stinks.

[howeda7]

And Perk's gonna blow it. I'm officially concerned about him.

[SwainZag]

Sigh. Not a good start Perk.

[USAFChief]

Having him start that game Friday night was teh stupid.

[FattCrapps]

Ump wants to go home.
