Game Thread: Twins v Royals Doubleheader, 5/21 - Gm 1@1:10pm, Gm 2@tbd

Ugh. Hughes going up against one of the leagues worst offenses and he's still bad.

[Darius]

How long are they going to leave this guy in the rotation?

 

He's throwing 85 mph fastballs right down the middle. It's BP for MLB hitters. You could literally put a tee out there and it would be more effective.

[Jerr]

Hughes is d o n e.................................

[Blake]

Wilk is up. 

 

Molitor is giving up on this game.

Its almost comical that his numbers are only as bad as they are.

What's the difference between a public transportation terminal and a lobster with breast implants?

A crusty bus station must be close, but I can't quite make the punchline work.

They both share sumthin'....this is weird and tough......

[Darius]

I read the thread earlier today about why vs why not Tyler Duffey should be in the rotation.

 

This is exhibit A for why he should be, and the conversation ends there. Hughes never should've been put back into this rotation.

[Mill1634]

He is a strike thrower that doesn't have the stuff to throw it right down the middle

[GCTF]

Only 2 more years of Hughes. You know, after this season

Ones a crusty bus station and the other is a busty crustacean.

I'll give you half credit.

 

One's a crusty bus station, the other

a busty crustacean.

Thanks for the assist, by the way.

The lobster might be more effective than Hughes?

And that is where your trouble started.

[ashbury]

 and the conversation ends there.

Good.

[Darius]

Escobar has to be embarassed that he can't get a ball in play against a guy with town-ball stuff.

[USAFChief]

Go away, furriner.

[KirbyDome89]

He has been teetering all year, but lately it looks like he's falling off that ledge...

[Danchat]

Hughes is getting all his strikeouts against Escobar... who has an OPS of .430

[Blake]

Kansas City is bound to win one or 4 of  but there is no reason to give the games away.

 

Put Hughes on the DL and bring up someone.

[ashbury]

I'll give you half credit.

Fair enough. I've been given credit for being a half-wit many times before.

[GCTF]

Maybe they have different baserunning rules in Germany

[Riverbrian]

Same Rules as the Autobahn.

Hughes secondary stuff just isn't good enough to make up for a sub 90 fastball. I'm not sure what to do with him at this point. I'm not convinced he would have much more success in the bullpen, so maybe it's time for a mystery injury to send him to the DL.

For three years?

Good.

Must be one arguing that putting the third best starter on the MLB roster (after Berrios got here) into a 6th inning role is right move....

 

I'm just glad he's available to use that hammer to lock down the heart of the Royals lineup in the sixth today. Pah-retty, Pah-rettty, Pah-retty good.
