Get a run and back and kill their momentum with the top of the order here

Otherwise this game might be ovaaaa

[Aggies7]

promote Hughsie back to the rotation

No one is saying anything like that, just simply that la maquina appears to need a service call from the Maytag man

Possibly. But look at the overreactions that take place.

Gonsalves called up, nice

[Winston Smith]

 

Berrios looks awful.

Smells like Tommy John coming.  

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Mauersie, 4-3

[Darius]

Berrios is hurt, right?

 

Edit: little late to the party on that one, I see.

He’s hurting me, does that count?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I think the Twins are just having a minor let down tonight

 

CBU, 4-0 bad guys in the 4th

[Mill1634]

That’s not a hit. Official scorers baffle me sometimes.

Commentators said “backhand equals hit”

[Mill1634]

Still no hard hit balls for the twins. Maybe we’re seeing Richards turn into an ace before our eyes.

[Winston Smith]

 

The FS1 pregame crew makes me want to stick my head in the oven.

 

"He's swinging at 35% of pitches outside the zone, which means he's swinging at 65% of pitches in the zone."

 

No, that's not what that means. Not even a little bit.

When you are used to the analytics savants Dick and Bert it can only go down hill.

The Twins help other players reach their true potential. Just look at the Yankees, they've won 16 of their last 17 games thanks to using us as a springboard! You're welcome!

[BoofBonser]

Nick Gordon makes that play

[Riverbrian]

Where did the big sweeping breaking pitch that Jose used to throw go? 

 

I miss that pitch and it looks Jose is missing it as well. If he could find it again... I think the other teams would miss it. 

[Aggies7]

I see a Jurassic outlet syndrome on the horizon.

 

And that wasn’t a typo

[Mill1634]

Nice bounce back inning. Bats need to wake up..maybe nobody notified them of the time zone change?

[DocBauer]

That was a much better inning. Too little too late? Hope not. Berrios pressing or suffering from jet lag?

[BoofBonser]

Berrios extends his arm out often and shakes it... that's something I used to do last summer to loosen my elbow up before I found out I had a partially torn UCL

You know, that would be interesting if someone could find the numbers. First game in a series at EST or PST, is there a consistent W-L correlation in opening games?

Isn't it past your bedtime?

Maybe they had our pregame comments posted in the dugout before the game. 

 

[DocBauer]

Feels to me Berrios is "tight". He is such a bulldog, wants to be good so badly, I think he presses sometimes.

I'm posting in my sleep.

Wondering the same thing, never se it

No wonder they make more sense!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I think it's a combination of non-strike calls getting in his head, and a couple of breaking pitches the Angels were looking for.

 

Of course it could also be thoracic outlet syndrome, final stages

[slash129]

Richards' back foot breaking ball on lefties is getting some stupid swings.
