Game Thread 4/20/19 Double Header vs O's 3:05 and 6:05 CDT

[Brock Beauchamp]

It appears that those holding Friday tickets get dollar-for-dollar credit toward any future purchase.

Ah, okay.

[akmanak]

Buxton didnt even try for that first homerun. Well it is inly fitting the Twins implode yet again in late April.

[bighat]

Berrios going down the tubes here! C'mon Jose, relax you got this.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Season over!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

(actually it was over as of last July 27, but you get the idea)

Fire Wes Johnson. He sucks.

[twinsbaby]

Jose Berrios velo is down this year. Wes Johnson can't teach anything.

 

(From 93.2 mph to 92.1 mph)

Crazy that Wes is teaching them to throw softer. 

[akmanak]

Well when we get swept by Baltimore maybe more people will stop with their thinking that this team is a good team.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Give a man a pitch, he eats for a day,

 

Teach a man to pitch, he eats for the rest of his life

 

Or something

I don’t think this 2019 is destined for the postseason, but I’d like to watch and maybe be pleasantly surprised.

 

By the way, the 1991 team started 2-9 ...

[Aggies7]

Thank god for Eddie since most of the other guys aren’t contributing lately

[adorduan]

Looks like Rosario is having to do most of the work today.

[Don Walcott]

Maybe Strailly can be Eddie’s pitcher in the home run derby this year.

[Aggies7]

This umpire stinks

 

But also Jose is no bueno with control today

Why Rocco lets Berrios continues to pitch

Ha! That'd be cool if he actually had the sense of humor to actually do it.

[Danchat]

Because our bullpen isn't very good and we have to play a second game today.

[Aggies7]

Doesn’t have his best today

[h2oface]

Yacabonis is consistent.

[twinsbaby]

That's probably true, BUT how did you explain his velo was down 1 mph this year?

In his 5 starts, all of them don't have his best?

[Nine of twelve]

Good hold at third base. No outs, tie game, pitcher all over the place.

[Don Walcott]

Castro smoked that one. Let’s hope he’s turning it around at the plate.

[Nine of twelve]

Yeah, Buck!

[Don Walcott]

Great AB by Buck!!

[Danchat]

Buxton being looking like a MLB-caliber hitter has really helped this team. It seems like the guy's due for a double every day!

[wsnydes]

Perhaps he's throwing more off-speed stuff. Average velo only tells part of the story.

[h2oface]

That was a tough pitch to hit by Buxton. Strike three is he doesn't swing. Well, maybe, after all, an umpire is calling the game.

I was just going to say that it's so nice to see him stay productive so far. Good sign for sure. The team is reaping the benefits for sure.
