[Dr. Evil]

At some point Buxton needs to shorten that swing up.

I think this game says it all - critical situation against a first place team.... Berrios pitches pretty well. followed by Belisle and Bosehrs... Who says we need bullpen help?

Boshers threw 4 pitches and got two outs. I'm not sure he realistically could have done much better than that. He actually has a higher K rate vs RHP this year.

They need TP for all the runs they endure.

Either way, we both got our crappy references in.

I forgot about Busenitz.

 

We are the Filler B's. 

[USAFChief]

 

Please tell me that was not Matt Belisle warming and that I've too much scotch.

That WAS Matt Belisle, and there's no such thing as too much scotch.

[wsnydes]

Automate the strike zone you say?

[Aggies7]

Wow what a catch! As bad as he's been at bat, he's been as good in the field

[LaBombo]

 

Rob Antony has their backs

And I think TR is still on the payroll, listed as Senior Fellow of Non-Analytics.

Just when you think you can't get any madder at him, Rosario does something to TOTALLY REDEAM HIMSELF!

[Aggies7]

SAVE BIG MONEY AT MENARD'S

Thanks to just the three Rosario catches the Twins pitchers' ERA is about 3-4 runs lower than their FIP tonight.

[David HK]

 

David, I think you have opened up a can of worms in which we can never put them back in again!

 

[Dr. Evil]

Bingo!

[LaBombo]

Also, the Twins lead the American League in xRuLoBu, or expected runs lost to bunting.

YEHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

[wsnydes]

More offensive: Twins offense or Twins pitchers. Thoughts?

[Aggies7]

Thank god we got that Sale guy out of the game.

[Dr. Evil]

That's an exploding fastball.

[Aggies7]

4 hits and 2 walks for the offense tonight. Let's not forget that.

[Riverbrian]

 

Bingo!

 

Everyone hold your cards. 

 

We will check if this a good one. 

 

Next Game is Blackout. 55 numbers or less. 

[Mike Sixel]

4 hits and 2 walks for the offense tonight. Let's not forget that.

If anything the red Sox paid too little to get Sale.

[ashbury]

I predict a different outcome tomorrow.

[LaBombo]

If Sano is going to keep taking cuts like that at 98 mph heat, he really ought to ride a blue ox from the dugout to the plate.

14-2 loss?

 

Rain?

 

Perfectly executed sac bunt?

I don't get why not use Hildenberger there in the 7th? Has he only pitched in the one game so far?

Why try something different when you can trot a guy with an ERA over 7 and a penchant for making small leads big leads out there?

[David HK]

Welp.

 

No chicken tonight.  

 

Loser dinner.
