The Two Teams have combined to throw 6,539,231 Pitches.

 

I think you're mixing up their pitch count and their ERA.

[Squirrel]

You'd a thought Mike Pelfrey was pitching against Mike Pelfrey tonight

Yeah, this is taking too long and I have to get up early to play tennis, so I'll catch the rerun tomorrow.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Oh. Hrm. Hope they didn't have to use a roster spot, though.

So, you know, he'll be catching a flight from Rochester to Minneapolis in about 8 days

They did? Who?

 

2017 Twins pitching summed up in three words...

[Blake]

 

The Two Teams have combined to throw 6,539,231 Pitches. 

According to my math, 60 pitches an inning times 7 innings is only 420 pitches. Granted, I may be on the low side but your gross exaggeration does no favors to anyone, good sir!

Potato, potahto.

 

 

 

(But really, who the hell says potahto?)

It's a new stat

 

Like On Base Plus Slugging

 

(Pitch Count) X (Eastern Time) X (ERA) X (25624) 

 

The new stat is called P. Cetera.

These advanced metrics are out of control

Should be a huge hit with Chicago fans.

Tying run on third and go-ahead run on base... again. Just another ho-hum hold situation for the rock-solid Twins bullpen.

Bringing Rogers in to face 5 righties is less than ideal

Well, most of the bullpen is less than ideal

[70charger]

The Twins pitchers are just insisting on making every inning interesting, aren't they? I, for one, would be happy with a one-two-three inning. Just saying.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Now... where was i?

 

Oh yeah. Catching up on this here game and respective thread...

 

And what i wouldn't give to be a smart alec here.. at best i am a not totally di. alec....

[LaBombo]

 

Dillon Gee.

 

And I, for one, applaud the Twins' brave paradigm shift from never-wills to has-beens.

 

The default Fangraphs team stat page displays up to 30 pitchers at a time. When Gee debuts, it will leave 4 open spots before the names wrap around to a second page.

Potato, potahto.

 

 

 

(But really, who the hell says potahto?)

The joys of customized auto correct.

[Riverbrian]

GARCIA

[drock2190]

Is that Delmon Young in right field?

[RaoulDuke]

Sano doing "athletic" things lol

[Aggies7]

One of the 17 Garcia's have really messed up this inning

I wonder what his P.Cetera is? 

[LaBombo]

Sano almost caught laughing at second after Garcia successfully dodged his single to right.

[mikecgrimes]

This White Sox right fielder is Gross man

[Aggies7]

Oh gene take a chance

I mean, he isn't that good, but his ERA last year was 4.63. That's more than a rounding error better than the Twins' team ERA.

 

On a minor league deal, I guess I'll take it.
