Game Thread: Twins v Athletics, 7/5 @ ? (in rain delay)

[operation mindcrime]

Luckily I don't think he can be optioned anymore ... DFA or bust.

 

Personally, I'm hoping this is the last time we see him as a Twin.

Me too!

Correct, I use "optioned" when I shouldn't often...

 

When will he be DFA and Berrios back up? 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

If I can't make up a totally new three letter word that start with "I"

 

I gotta go with "I"

 

 

AM

Iew?

[operation mindcrime]

There's an impostor on the field!

Was it the pitcher who waited 1 & 2/3 before giving up a run?

Given how well Berrios is pitching, how bad the team is and how absolutely dreadful Milone has been, I imagine he's on his last leg. Bad start tonight probably means he's on bullpen duty until the break and then looking for work shortly after.

 

If he somehow manages to not fail, he might get another shot.

 

It has to be pretty close to "give us one last reason" point at this time for him.

No, it's a Nunez impostor.  He had the double and his helmet stayed on his head!

[operation mindcrime]

Vargas hits the ball so hard.

 

He's just gotta work out... It would be a shame if he didn't.

Him and Sano should go to boot camp like Private Pyle!

yup and I feel like the Twins have too many guys like that going.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

So i was thinking of visiting friends in the Twin cities soonish, but it seems unlikely to happen quite as i hoped.

 

Oh well.

[Don Walcott]

Sano has an absolute cannon.

[jud6312]

Every time Roy speaks I miss Bert a little more. Something I never possible.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Milone is at the critical 3 2/3 inning mark

[jud6312]

Seriously, listening to Roy fawn all over Tommy Milone and justifying why he's taking starts away from Berrios is making me ill.

 

And the fact that he basically admitted it's all spoon fed to him from Ryan is even more disgusting.

Ouch. I am both glad and disappointed that I cannot hear that.

 

 

Jose Berrios update: 10 hits surrendered in last 30 innings pitched

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I like the idea of Tommy Milone, as a soft throwing lefty to contrast with our devastating rotation of blazing righties, but honestly Milone just doesn't get it done. I was for him early but his number is up.

[S.]

Roy is the perfect fill in broadcaster, from the point of view of ownership. All he does is gush over how great terrible players are, and considering almost our entire roster is terrible players, its a match made in heaven. Unfortunately, its a match made in hell for all the rest of us.

 

It angers me that he is paid to tell awful rambling stories and to brown nose the FO so hard that he's brown from nose to toes.

I liked Larkin when he'd fill in once in a while. Would like for him to be around more. Hell, I'd even prefer a return of Coomer.

 

I also can't get enough of TK calling Dick "Richard." But I'm guessing the fact that he doesn't fart organizational rainbows about every crap player they bring in probably doesn't sit well with the brass.

Jose Berrios update: 10 hits surrendered in last 30 innings pitched

Quade: Jose has been pitching really well down here

Ryan: Oh yeah, better than Tommy Milone?

Quade: he's only given up 10 hits in the last 30 innings pitched

Ryan: 10 hits in 3 innings doesn't sound so great

Quade: 30. 

Ryan: No, I'm 62.

Quade: He's only given up 10 hits in the last 30 innings.

Ryan: My cell phone connection is bad. Call me when he's pitching well.

[jud6312]

I'm envisioning Milone getting them through 5 with the lead and then Molly leaving him in just long enough to give away the lead.

[operation mindcrime]

Ouch. I am both glad and disappointed that I cannot hear that.

 

 

Jose Berrios update: 10 hits surrendered in last 30 innings pitched

We probably won't bring Berrios up until it no longer affects his service time or something!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Milone with a strike out.

 

How many pitches? Gameday has moved onto the next batter...

eh sonny? Could ya speak up?

DanSan makes a heck of a throw to nab a guy at the plate

 

Rosario back to Rochester in 3, 2, ...

[S.]

I hate to praise Danny Santana, but that was a nice throw. Lucky for him, Sano's vertical isn't too impressive.

One way of getting that shut down inning.

 

Hopefully they don't send anyone to Rochester in the middle of the game...

[operation mindcrime]

Awesome Kennys!

[S.]

I could've sworn that went straight into his glove from the original angle. Looked like an amazing catch.
