Game Thread 7/13: Twins vs. Tampa Bay, 7:10 pm CT

So, 7 dot 5, the dot being the decimal place, decimal being tenths, so, 10.

 

Okay, we've got 7 10 and 5. What are the rest?

Use your birth date... it should work

[slash129]

Like father, like son ... Toby just got tossed at the Kernels game

[Danchat]

Something seems a bit off with Odorizzi... but this pitch count is pretty low for where he usually is.

[slash129]

Too bad these games only count as one win - boy, does this feel good.

 

I think it's safe to say Eovaldi's trade value has been dented... it seems like Snell and Eovaldi drank some bad water or something.

 

I didn't know the Ray's had a layover in Flint, MI. They must have landed before Elon did.

[Danchat]

The Rays are looking like the 2018 first half Twins...

Lottery number don't go that high....

Up, up, up. Not a single pitch in that at bat was below the belt, let alone the knees. Good thing the Rays are bad. A good hitting team would have like 10 runs by now.

Okay, big sigh of relief...

 

And, the Twins get out of something that, three weeks ago would have resulted in many runs.

 

What a crazy game baseball is.

[Craig Arko]

Cute kid.

[Mill1634]

Those are the kind of hits that irritate me as a pitcher

I was really hoping for a 6 instead of the 7.

[BoofBonser]

Magill save us

Use Chief's then - the year only has three digits.

[VATwinsFan]

It seems like the Rays should have more than 7 hits and one BB.

 

Ech.

[Nine of twelve]

oy

[Mill1634]

Really hope we let Jake Odo walk this off-season. 

 

Not efficient with his pitches, and doesn't seem to have great stuff. Should be fine without him with Berrios, Pineda, Romero, Mejia, Gibson, Sleegers, Gonsalves, among others. 

[VATwinsFan]

I guess I was right on that, they do have more than 7 hits.

[Mill1634]

Go get him Molly.

 

Who cares about pitcher wins. He doesn't have it as seen by the last two innings. 

[bighat]

Odorizzi, terrible.

[VATwinsFan]

8-1 lead and he can't make it through the 5th for the win.

 

Not good and very demoralizing I would think.

[BoofBonser]

Welp, we got a ball game folks

[mrmpls]

Cant pitch up in the zone boys,

[bighat]

Embarrassing.

[Cap'n Piranha]

Does Odorizzi have any options left?

[Mill1634]

Escobar has to be one of the best fielding 3rd basemen in the league

[mrmpls]

Esco and Joe , way to go -nice play

[Danchat]

Apparently he has 2 options left, according to roster resource.

That was a pretty good play, but I know Fangraphs and other places rank him as one of the worst defensive infielders. I can't say for sure, but he doesn't make dumb mistakes. I do think his range is below average.

Romero is a better option easily 

*no pun intended

Sure handed is a solid description
