[Mr. Ed]

Don't care if he can hit 97

 

Can't get guys out. Tie game.

 

BOOOO!

[Aggies7]

Boy, when things fall apart, we make sure they completely get obliterated

[bighat]

Magill stinks.

[Mr. Ed]

McGill is a mopup man

 

Bleh. At least they're finding out now I guess. Stinks.

 

He can join Addison Reed in oblivion.

[Krusington]

Just absolutely disgusting, to be honest, though I'd never cheer for a Twin to perform poorly, Odorizzi needed those runs tacked on to his ERA. I truly don't know if he's a guy we can throw all season long next year. It literally pains me to watch him pitch no matter how "smooth" of an inning he has. Disgusting.

[IndianaTwin]

Trivia question my son gave me last night...

 

Babe Ruth, Tom Seaver, George Brett, Ken Griffey Jr., Rube Waddell -- top 5 in career WAR with what in common? 

 

 

[Mr. Ed]

Guess they're getting a lot of data for their evaluations of guys.

Magill: Not a tight spot pitcher.

[mrmpls]

Molly should use 2 starters every time when Jake starts , you know he is only going 5 max. bring up Pineda- gonsalves or ? Try something different,

I've actually thought the same thing. Clearly given all the starts he's had this year, something has to change. This is literally insane what's going on with Odorizzi. 

[mrmpls]

Batters look Stumped

ya if look at his problems , its almost always the 6th inning, why not do it ?

Twins have the same numbers the radio guys do.  3rd time through OPS vs Odorizzi is over 1.200

 

Leash needs to be short.

Didn't get calls. Well, when you're rep is that you struggle to consistently hit the strike zone, guess what??

Who are five guys who've never been in my kitchen?

[IndianaTwin]

 

Who are five guys who've never been in my kitchen?

 

Yes, Cliff, and also have the first name "George." 

[USAFChief]

Who are five guys who've never been in my kitchen?

Top five in career WAR?

[Aggies7]

PM manages a bullpen like I manage relationships

[jimbo92107]

Watching Matt Magill's struggles reminds me what Kohl Stewart is going through. Both guys have live arms, seem to be able to throw some great pitches, but have trouble with consistency, flying open, and leaving some curves up.

[Mr. Ed]

Per Berardino

 

Magill has allowed 8 of 18 (44.4 percent) inherited runners to score.

Only Busenitz (5/10) and Hildy (13/23) have been more generous among current #mntwins pen

Name five players the Twins traded away for prospects?

Can't

Handle

Tight

[mrmpls]

Sano does have a strong arm- nice play

[Mr. Ed]

So Glad Sano is still playing third

 

Happy he got himself into shape. Cannon Arm. Bails Magill out.

And yet...this time, Magill threw a good pitch low and outside, got a grounder to Sano. After throwing a fastball right down the middle. 

 

It's a mixed bag. I do see similarities between Magill and Stewart.

GEORGE ??

[Nine of twelve]

Very uncharacteristic of Mauer to swing at that bad of a pitch.

[Mr. Ed]

Pull the plow Adrianza.

 

3-2 vs RHP, and a slider pitch. Still thrown out.

[Danchat]

Nice way to ruin an inning by Molly. Pinch-runs the slow Adrianza and has him steal 2nd, easily getting caught, and somewhat forcing Mauer to swing there. Just keep Austin in the game and have Joe what he normally does...

[Krusington]

Horrendous pinch run decision. Ouch.

[Nine of twelve]

Sano still at third,

Mauer did not need to swing. At all. It was a 3-2 count.

[Mr. Ed]

 

Very uncharacteristic of Mauer to swing at that bad of a pitch.

 Started the runner

 

Great idea to take Austin out of the game for a PR. 

How Gardy-like.
