Game Thread: Twins @ Cleveland 5-13 @ 3:10 PM CT

What would you rather have: Berrios no-hitter but Twins lose 1-0, or Berrios gives up 8 runs and Twins win 9-8
And don't say yes

No hitter. It's just one game and if we actually want to compete this year Berrios has to be a part of it

[Aggies7]

You've got to be kidding me with that strike two to grossman

Bucknor. 

[Aggies7]

Simply amazing how many managers, even vets like Francona, don't toss someone's behind on the bench for not even attempting to run out a play such as a dropped third strike like Santana just did. That ball probably rolled 25 feet from the plate

[crapforks]

Mlb at bat has Berrios throwing a 4 seamer at 94 and 84. Is his change pretty straight?

[spinowner]

OK, kid, throw about 6 more innings like that one!

[John Kelsey]

I like this version of Berrios.

Berrios 7ip, 0r, 11K

 

Or

 

Buxton 4-4, 2HR

For those watching how did his stuff look today?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

He certainly is jacked up for this.

 

Also that curve was a strike

[akmanak]

Decent first inning by Berrios. Let us score the kid some runs now.

The change he threw in the second AB was nasty

Fastball is coming in at 93-95 with a lot of movement, missed his spot with that pitch a couple times but not in bad areas. 

 

Change has been nasty so far when he's thrown it and he probably should have gotten a strike three looking on the curve against Brantley.

For those of us of a certain vintage this is like the question: Ginger or Mary Ann? The answer, of course, is Ginger and Mary Ann.

Hey, guys, you might want to watch that pickoff move

By my count, Buckner has missed two. The one called against Grossman and not calling the strike thrown by Berrios. In the first inning. If Buckner calls it the same all the way around, I don't much care. However, I doubt he will.

1pm here. And 48 with rain/clouds

Good day to sip some scotch.

Throw in the professor, too.

No.

 

Lovie Howell, perhaps.

I'm watching the CLE broadcast.

 

If their pitchtrack thing is to be believed, the curve to Brantley was outside.

[spinowner]

 

No.

 

Lovie Howell, perhaps.

Isn't she a little young for you?

Don't believe everything you read on the internet or see on TV.  Especially coming out of Cleveland.

[BoofBonser]

Another very solid inning for Mr. Berrios

[spinowner]

 

OK, kid, throw about 7 more innings like that one!

FTFM.

[USAFChief]

exactly.

[akmanak]

Any idea about pitch count for Berrios?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

FTFM.

This is an update I hope to follow all afternoon

OK.

 

In that case, what did CB Bucknor get on his SAT test back in high school?
