Ryne 'Picasso' Harper

Surreal?

[stringer bell]

I like the velo and he has a breaking ball, but as Morris noted he could really use an off-speed pitch. It seemed to me that as Perez pitches he usually loses command. Today, he seemed to improve as the outing went along. I’m pretty encouraged.

I honestly believe this is the best Twins team I've seen in the last 5 + years.

I'm not sure what to do...

Well, that's not saying much. We did have our worst year as a franchise ever in 2016.

[Blake]

What in the world has gotten into Baltimore? They clobbered Boston.

[Mill1634]

That Jorge extension is awfully nice. He is a top 10 SS in the league.

I was going to say 10 years but it seemed too far away to be true.  I take back my statement and amend it to say 10 years.

And what in the world has gotten into Boston? Not that I feel bad for them.

Hard to get a rally going with 6 o-fers so far....

[wabene]

Bout time Mejia gets in.

[Mike Sixel]

I admit my surprise and joy at the starting picthing today. Yay!

[twinssporto]

Mejia thinks he's gonna mow em' down this inning.  

[h2oface]

 

Bout time Mejia gets in.

 

bout time to have a good outing.......

[h2oface]

there goes his no-hitter......

 

[Richie the Rally Goat]

I'm not entirely ready to write him off yet. It will be interesting to see how the increased velocity impacts his performance, if it does at all.

 

At least he's not throwing the ball all over the place tonight. His command is decent, much better than his bullpen innings.

Twins badly needed Perez to have a good long outing and got it from him.

[h2oface]

two feet outside with that change-up. yikes

[Nine of twelve]

Errk

[twinssporto]

Get the pen warmed up

[Richie the Rally Goat]

It's what I tell myself after I've had a truly bad meal. Meals that were memorably bad. Meals that make one pine for the haute cuisine of McDonalds.

I’ve had truly bad meals, I didn’t need one of those to truly know a great meal compared to a good one.

[h2oface]

gotta yank him already. just have to, unfortunately.

[twinssporto]

Pull him now Rocco!!!!!!

[operation mindcrime]

Bout time Mejia gets in.

On second thought!

[h2oface]

Sure..... just throw the game away now? Can't believe they left Mejia in there.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

I remember what it was like to watch baseball played the way the Jays are playing it right now.

 

I feel for their fanbase.

2016 feel like ancient history?

gotta yank him already. just have to, unfortunately.

What, and put in Vasquez?

[TwinsCD]

What do the Twins see in this Mejia character to keep trotting him out there.  And why hasn't Baldelli pulled him yet?  He's hot garbage.

[twinssporto]

Hopefully Mejia can get all three outs this innings.  His pitch count should just be under 80

[operation mindcrime]

What an effing disaster!!!

[twinssporto]

Rocco needs to learn the hard way obviously.

[Nine of twelve]

Errrrrrkkkkkk.
