 9th inning appearance

[Aggies7]

Red Sox broadcast says pedroia has hit safely in 28 of his last 30 games against the twins. Video game numbers.

Correction: Zack Granite numbers

[Aggies7]

How many arms in the pen do we all hope are still with us next year? Like 2?

[notoriousgod71]

This is legitimately one of the worst pitching staffs I've ever seen. It's a miracle this team's record is so average.

[drock2190]

Well if I'm still awake, I'll try to tune back when Giminez pitches...

[PDX Twin]

G'night all. Can't take any more of this.

Not just average, but one that has spent 50 days in first place.

[LaBombo]

I'm not sure what I did to anger Corey Provus, but for the second consecutive day he tried to deliberately force me off the road while I was driving home listening to the Twins broadcast.

 

Tonight during the rain delay tonight he did so by opining that a rain-shortened start from Hector 'Meat' Santiago would be nearly as costly to the Twins as one from A.L. top 10-ish Drew Pomeranz would be to the Red Sox.

 

Last night it was wondering aloud what's wrong this year with struggling 9th-in-AL-starter-WAR Boston pitcher Rick Porcello.

 

I like Corey's work a lot, but... stop with the attempted vehicular mayhem already.

[Aggies7]

Pedroia is now hitting .358 in his career against the twins.

[notoriousgod71]

 

Not just average, but one that has spent 50 days in first place.

 

With an average record to be fair.

Gimenez and ...???

[Aggies7]

Holy hair buxton with a hit

[jud6312]

Did Jack really just suggest the Twins would need to trade someone to call up Granite?

 

Seems like a rather bold move.

[Whammy]

Well, Castro, at least it wasn't a GIDP

[Aggies7]

Pomeranz probably started tossing 4 hours ago and our boys are still hacking and missing at his fastball

[Whammy]

Man, we swing and miss a lot

[Aggies7]

Castro and Brian simply blown away

[LaBombo]

One if they convert Duffey to a starter and trade Kintzler, and Rogers doesn't start pitching like his xFIP says he will.

[Aggies7]

This is simply excruciating

I think they'll shop Eddie R.

 

That would make me sad, but...

[LaBombo]

The sad part is that you wrote that before Dozier's Messi booting of the ball into left field.

And don't forget sending down Kepler or Buxton, moves which are all that much more astonishing for a team that's guarded Breslow like he's testifying against the mafia.

 

Granite's a nice story, but if they rearrange things to accommodate a 25 year old OF with no power because his BABIP is a hundred points over his career average in 200 AB's, then we'll know that this new administration is dying to give metrics a wedgie just as much as the last.

[LaBombo]

At this point every good Belisle outing is just sort of banking another future meltdown or two as the Twins' reluctance to let him go increases.

[Huddy]

I'm going to just stop watching us play the AL east

[70charger]

Sightings of Breslow, Belisle, and even Blaine Boyer. Will we see Boshers too!? Will I be able to keep my dinner down?

[David HK]

Gawd--  I just saw Blaine "Inherited Runners Scored" Boyer pitching on the gameday, and visibly shuddered.

 

Then I realized he's a Red Sock now.... whew....!

The nice thing about remembering the thrashings the Twins received from the Yankees in the Gardy era is that they made this effort against the Red Sox look like a nail-biter.

Blaine Boyer... the middle relief equivalent of the woman you talk to for five minutes at your 25th high school class reunion before you remember that you went on a date with her your junior year.
