I bet Jose is loving the shift so much tonight

[jimbo92107]

Stop shifting! They're wise to it!!

[drock2190]

Berrios is probably wondering why we are still shifting up 15 

[LaBombo]

 

In 2006, Ozzie nicknamed the Twins team the "Piranahs". So what would he call this current team? Sharks or Whales not an option. The "Crocodiles" sounds pretty good to me.

Berrios...just attack these guys. You're up 15.

Yeah, and the fans in the bleachers are Hungry Hungry Hippos, gobbling up home run balls.

[MNT1996]

The comeback has begun. Get Rogers warmed up.

[MNT1996]

This...this is kinda embarassing.

[jimbo92107]

I'd yank Berrios right now. He has lost his focus. Difficult to stay sharp in an odd game like this one.

Jason Castro paying a visit to Kepler tomorrow to find out "why you didn't come up with that double to right in the 5th last night, Max. It coulda meant the ball game."

 

[USAFChief]

I blame Arraez.

[drock2190]

Rocco going to pull him before the win.

 

Fantasy players everywhere irate

[MNT1996]

yikes

[jimbo92107]

Baldelli, I've said this before: You gotta know what you're seeing. Berrios has lost it. He's not missing bats. He's throwing hits all over the place. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

You can probably recreate it in 'MLB: The Show 19' by playing as the Twins with the difficulty level on 'Toddler', and with the Mariners' defensive ability set to 'Marsupial'.

Sounds like effort.

 

Wake me up for the next game thread intro...

[USAFChief]

Nice catch, Sano-zee.

I just don't sense a killer instinct in Berrios in his last couple starts. Right now he just looks dazed. He should be rearing back with nothing to lose.

[operation mindcrime]

Great play by Sano! Nice hustle!!!

[MNT1996]

Thank god the Twins scored 15 runs. Berrios stuff doesn't look good.

[TwinsCD]

If this is a HS game and I'm behind the plate, I'm watching this half inning develop with a sense of dread that the home team is going to somehow get enough runs to make me stay here another inning.  It's not a fun feeling.

[OTPS300]

 

Was going to go with that, seeing that my first car was a 1964 Barracuda.

[jimbo92107]

Robo-ump, o Robo-ump, where art thou?

[h2oface]

Missed the 4th pitch strike call big time.

[h2oface]

Baldelli just trying to get Berrios a win. Man is he blowing this inning.

[MNT1996]

Struggling to get through 5 when your team gave you a 15 run lead. Aces dont do that.

[jkcarew]

About 3/4 of the season for Berrios now without an effective curve ball...no ability to throw it for a strike when he needs to.

[Aggies7]

Berrios is toast

[mrtwinsfan]

Berrios , im glad rocco pulled ya,  

[h2oface]

Baldelli should have pulled him 3 batters ago. WTF. Just leave him out there to get crushed. I don't get it. 

[MNT1996]

I hate to say it, but things like this can be huge momentum changers
