Game Thread: Twins v Cleveland, 4/27 @ 7:10pm CT

Alright

 

He's got some stuff... but his nerves got the best of him. His command was quite a bit off. I was watching his mechanics and he wasn't repeating very well. He can fix that. 

 

Let's see how his next start goes. 

[Danchat]

I would like to see Meyer in this game, but Molitor isn't going to trust him in a close game...

[Aggies7]

Oof, Abad in the 5th? What a clown car our bullpen is.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Are we going to get to see Meyer and Berrios in the SAME GAME?

[Danchat]

It makes sense to me. He's pitching well, so you send him out to try and preserve the tie game with 2 guys in scoring position.

 

 

In play, run(s). Dang it.

Love how Dick laughed at bringing in a lefty.

I suspect it has more to do with not wanting to let Meyer get his feet wet in a close game with runners on base. If he comes in, it'll be a clean inning.

[LaBombo]

 

Oop, did I see a bullpen call???

 

Yep.    Abad is the lucky duck.

Lindor is a stud.  I have SS envy.

I think we should.  I mean, what the h is the point of having Meyer on the team?

I get that, but I'd rather see him later. Heck, maybe even the 9th since jepsen is stinky.

[Aggies7]

How many fouls is that tonight? 67?

I think the original poster had it right. Meyer has been with the team two games, immediately after a 16 inning game and we haven't found a spot for him.

 

He last pitched last Wednesday

[tobi0040]

What was that

[Aggies7]

Good lord. Looking like an early night for me and after such a promising start too.

Berrios looked like he burned enough energy for two starts. He was nervous as a cat the whole time. I'm surprised he lasted into the 5th. You could see why the team is excited about this kid. Great stuff. Good mix of heaters. a tight, low curve, and a change that bends half a foot to the right, just the right amount. 

 

Within two or three starts, we're going to see a very good pitcher.

[Riverbrian]

Just in case anybody was missing Sano in the OF

 

Rosario lends a hand

[David HK]

 

Classic, or....

Ripple?

Dill pickle.

[Aggies7]

Well, good thing our best reliever was used to face two batters and our left fielder couldn't catch a can of corn. Questionable bullpen management.

[LaBombo]

 

I think we should.  I mean, what the h is the point of having Meyer on the team?

 

If a game of pickup hoops breaks out during a rain delay,   how many bullpens can field a 6' 9''   center?

 

 

 

[jimmer]

Rosario looked like Jacque Jones out there in Jacque's early years in the Metrodome LF

[jimbo92107]

Whoops, now the wheels have fallen off, and motley troop of clowns is piling out of the car to fix it...

[Aggies7]

What's weird is that something like that is so rare to see, but that's like the 6th total boner we've seen in the outfield in a week.

[Brock Beauchamp]

It was weird that he didn't pitch two nights ago but Nolasco went 7 1/3 last night. Not a lot of time to get Meyer into that game.

 

And putting Meyer into tonight's situation in the fifth would have been bad management. You don't do that to a guy in his first appearance.

[USAFChief]

I think I could steal a base off this team.

[Aggies7]

Just go on ahead and take 3rd base. Tonkin no Bueno.

[DiscGolfer]

Nearly every game the Twins have played has been close, so I guess we'll never see Meyer

Yes, I thought I saw some good things and a future.

[David HK]

 

Alright

Let's see how his next start goes. 

He still looks nervous sitting on the bench after being taken out.  He had a ton and a half of emotion, and he'll learn to get that more under control.  He'll also eventually start getting those borderline calls.  I think the kid will be alright.  More than alright.

[Squirrel]

This team sucks. It shouldn't suck like this, but it does. I'm turning this game off. Good night.
