Double? No Prob.

 

Just typical Perkins drama. Wouldn't have it any other way!

[mikeee]

dead arm perkins.  Gives up the double to mr .111

[DiscGolfer]

would've liked to see Jepsen for one more

[DaveW]

When do we start to get concerned about Perk? If he cuts his blown saves and losses in half this second half a lone the Twins are still in a playoff spot

[ScrapTheNickname]

Perk wasn't good in August and September last year either. The manager, pitching coach, and front office have to know this.

[FattCrapps]

Why no catch? 

[Aggies7]

What a team. Why do I watch when they play NY?

[USAFChief]

ooops.

Add to the fact he has pitched now 3 days in a row..

[ScrapTheNickname]

Yankees fans are booing an intentional walk. Very belilgerant fans.

[DiscGolfer]

strike out DP

[glunn]

Rosario should have been playing deeper, but even where he was the ball bounced off his glove.  I think that he should have caught that,

[USAFChief]

Cool pornstache, bro.

[SwainZag]

Well.......if they EVER needed a K, this is it.  

[ScrapTheNickname]

Why not bring all 7 in? Seriously.

[amjgt]

Brendan Ryan is winning at life with that mustache

[stringer bell]

OK, Eddie's been very good, but he should have caught that ball.

[mikeee]

he'll need some strikeouts to get out of this mess.

[ShouldaCouldaWoulda]

I know that Suzuki gets hammered on here for his bat and poor framing. However, I have been watching where he sets up and where our pitchers throw. It sure seems that when I have been watching lately, that our pitchers are getting pounded, but they are actually throwing right where Suzuki is asking for it. 

 

Is it possible that Suzuki or the Twins are doing a really bad job of pitch selections and placements? Been the case most of tonight and last week, and I have been watching hard. There have been some missed locations, but mostly when we get hit, its right where he asks for it.

[ScrapTheNickname]

If I were running the world:

 

1) K.

2) DP

3) Sano

4) 1-2-3

 

[Aggies7]

Hahahahaha

[Jham]

Why did he throw to first though?

[Ultima Ratio]

Yep, perfectly demoralizing.

[Jham]

Terrible pitch anyhow...

[USAFChief]

LOL.  Eduardo Sizerhands.

[Aggies7]

You have to laugh. That's so us.

[mikeee]

bah

[big dog]

Well, Eddie taketh away, but there he giveth.

 

What a miserable fail of a half-inning.  Very smart of Nunez to throw to first there, but of course once he dropped the sure thing grounder, what's the difference.

 

Lots of fight from the Twins tonight.  Not using Duensing...not having a bus full of guys thrown out on the bases...different story.

[amjgt]

Nunez is terrible at whatever position we want to call that. I'll go with "2nd-stop"

[SwainZag]

Lol.  What else would happen at Yankee Stadium to this team?
