How frickin’ old is Span?

He has a GREY beard!

I have a grey goatee and I’m 31

When does erv come back? Lynn ain’t cuttin it for me

Lynn is not the guy Erv will be replacing. 

[yarnivek1972]

Got it back for you.

 

How long will Lynn keep it this time?

Not very.

 

I’m not impressed with Lynn at all.

 

WAY too many non-strikes. Way too many meatballs.

[Aggies7]

Lynn is not the guy Erv will be replacing.

 

You never know honestly. He’s not been impressive so far (yes SSS)

 

Edit: 4 man rotation, forgot about that. Doh

Nice AB for brian

[Danchat]

 

Lynn struggling with the bottom of the order. Only out was a bullet to sano

It helps when their best batter is hitting 8th.

[Riverbrian]

 

I bet your post didn't even load before the lead was given back.

 

Yeah... I was pretty pissed at you all when I got to the car, turned on the radio and heard it was tied. 

[USAFChief]

 

Can we get a counter for the amount of times Bert calls Lance Lynn a "bulldog type of pitcher" 

I think that falls under the general "_____-type" comment that earns a "DRINK" in the usual "Bert says ______" game.

[USAFChief]

You jinx the game, and it's OUR fault???

[BoofBonser]

Doz went because he knew there was a 80% chance of Sano striking out

[Aggies7]

Really awful at bat for Miguel.

[BoofBonser]

If Archer pitches all 9 innings of this game we will lose
Too bad that's not going to happen

Hey their closer has 4 saves. Not too shabby when you’re club has 5 wins

[amjgt]

Wouldn’t expect anything different.

[Aggies7]

Wouldn’t expect anything different.

That home run he had the other day will buy him another week of escaping our undivided ire

[VATwinsFan]

In other news, the Burlington Bees beat the Quad City River Bandits 28-7 earlier today.  Burlington scored 8 runs in the 1st, and 5 runs in three different innings.

 

Burlington had two players who drove in 8 and 7 runs respectively, and Quad Cities had a pitcher who gave up 10 earned runs in 1.2 innings.

Wonder what Sano's trade value is. Not sure I can watch him wave at breaking pitches in the dirt for at least 3 more years

[BoofBonser]

 

Wouldn’t expect anything different.

I brace for a strikeout every at-bat
It's honestly depressing seeing him in the on-deck circle when a rally starts

[Vanimal46]

Is the cold weather still affecting Lynn's control? Can we still use that excuse?

[USAFChief]

Escobar needs to hold his position for a count on that H&R.

[BoofBonser]

Sweet, that missed called third strike by blue and a hit with the power of my grandmother gives the Rays a chance to extend the lead

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Not sure what the roster situation is. Archer has owned Sano his whole career and I'm not ready to declare Lo Mo out of his slump, yet there they are, batting 3rd & 5th

[Mill1634]

Twins should just use a bullpen day when Lynn's turn comes around

[twinssouth]

Just looked, Morrison has .087 BA, Grossman .080. Can't believe it, LM no longer worst hitter. Sheeze. Grossman needs to go, Granite is not this bad.

[VATwinsFan]

Rochester also scored 8 runs in the first inning this evening against Columbus. Brock Stassi hit a grand slam HR.

[Mill1634]

Agree, and even if he is this bad, at least he could play CF.

There aren't many better options. Those two need to hit. Sano's K rate is just out of control. Hopefully he gets that under control

 

I'm actually not that worried about Morrison. I think he'll be about what we expected.

[Aggies7]

If anyone should be able to deal with the cold, it’s him. Maybe the room temperature at the trop is causing him heart palpitations

[Aggies7]

Agree, and even if he is this bad, at least he could play CF.

 

And to think, grossman is the one who tied the game in the 9th in opening day
