Frying pan Garver.

Presley: over rated, over-used, misused, or all of the above?

[TwinsCD]

Pressly's ERA when I'm watching has to be close to 30.  He blows away Anderson with fastballs and then when he gets him 0-2, he screws around with him.  Is this a pitching coach mandated sequence that all pitchers have to nibble?

[USAFChief]

Just roll that breaking ball up there.

[mrmpls]

THERE not even close with his fastball so why slow it down for the hitter ?

Yes.

[Blake]

Why does Molitor insist on putting in Pressly, with runners on, when Pressly has a 35.3% IRS?

Door #2 please! Feels like he's on pace for 100 appearances. Classic Molitor move overusing 2-3 arms every season...

[Aggies7]

we are ****ing terrible, mods be darned

[S.]

Honest question: was Garver this awful on defense in the minors? I mean, I wasn't expecting him to be spectacular, but good lord, he is terrible.

Gross

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Nice throw Miguel

[USAFChief]

Little league'd again.

Holy cow, this is some bad baseball. The White Sox look like a superior team over this series and they trotted out Santiago today... bleh. And we all saw Pressly blowing this lead, right?

[nicksaviking]

The game was 2-1 when I went up to put the kids to bed.

 

Might as well go out myself to bed now I guess.

[jun]

I seriously believe Pressly does not care about inherited runners at all. I would never let Pressly pitch with runners on. Never...

What's sad is that I was looking up Pressly's IRS stats to post and in the time it took me to find them, Pressly had once again allowed inherited runners to score.

The twins are one should be-yolmer-Sanchez-error away from possibly being swept AT HOME against the White sox

[David HK]

Why did I bother to look in between meeting + class?

 

Cripe.  The White Sox are making us look like we have Chico's Bail Bonds on the back of the uni's.

 

The White Sox.

[USAFChief]

The game took an ominous turn when the Twins managed to go single-double-double to start the second inning and somehow managed to get one run out of that.

We do play them tomorrow, but you would be right if this was a three game series.

Reaffirmation that teaching class was a better idea than watching the Twins?

I remember hearing he was below average, but he's definitely worse than I thought. I recall hearing he was the opposite of his peer prospect Stuart Turner, who had no bat but was a great defender.

No, I’m fully aware they play the Sox tomorrow. I’m just assuming.

I wasn't listening to the broadcast but saw the play live (without volume). I know it was a fly ball to center, and Garver must have held back thinking "tag" - but how did he not score after the ball was clearly over the center fielder's head and died at the base of the wall? Did the announcers give any reason besides just "terrible baserunning"?

Hard to believe total offensive incompetence would come back and bite us
