Sigh

[70charger]

This field is a pinball machine

[notoriousgod71]

CHARGE PEOPLE WITH AN ERROR WHEN THEY CAN'T FIELD THE BALL.

 

PLEASE.

[akmanak]

Getting some unlucky bounces and just a really bad inning. The amount of poor play in the outfield is starting to become really annoying.

[FlauerPauer]

This must be how other teams feel when the Twins have innings like this.

[notoriousgod71]

 

 

He's absolutely looking like Gibson right now. Working at a snail's pace and seems to take more and more time between pitches right now. Getting into full counts, etc.

 

Borderline unwatchable.

 

 

I was thinking Pelfrey.

[Don Walcott]

Okay, that’s an error.

[Darius]

A lot of carriages turning into pumpkins right now.

PLEASE.

That’s gotta be changed later, not that perez’s ERA isnt going to balloon as it as, but clearly an error by MK

It must be how other teams felt when we played in the dome.

[Aggies7]

Wow. Not a good start to the series.

[ScrapTheNickname]

The Warriors - ahem - play in an hour ...

[70charger]

Well, this game is pretty much over after the first 2.5 innings went by in like 3 minutes total. The hell happened?

[bighat]

Anyone else starting to worry that this whole "Martin Perez is reborn" story was nonsense and the whole thing was smoke and mirrors?

[Don Walcott]

Wow. Did not see this coming.

[FlauerPauer]

Yikes. Well. There's always tomorrow.

[akmanak]

Ummmmm......can we just toss in the towel for this game?

[MMMordabito]

I hate this stadium, field, fanbase and team. Always seems to derail the Twins playing in this $hole.

Nope. Just one bad outing.

Going to need someone like berrios to shake off the sketchiness if Perez comes back to earth and the Pineda thing is a question mark

It's one bad start lol. Has Justin Verlander had bad starts? Has Chris Sale had bad starts? Cmon people. This is gonna happen over the course of the season. Calm down.

Absolutely not. Baseball has such a small margin of error and with two errors already in this inning you cant jumped to the conclusion that Perez is done. Dude is still tossing 95mph but just wasnt hitting the outside or inside pitch.

Yeesh what a comparison to make haha

The Twins were not going to win outright this season. 4 game series so still can manage winning 3/4 of the series.

[MNT1996]

The point is that ALL pitchers have bad starts. Good pitchers aren't immune. You don't write off a guy's season success over a couple bad starts...

[ScrapTheNickname]

Right. The Rays adjusted to his cutter for a ball and were patient. He will have to adjust. I believe he will.

[Aggies7]

You would think all the winning makes losing easier to take

 

 

 

It doesn’t

[MMMordabito]

Can't win 'em all ... Tune in tomorrow

Super hope not. Though after one bad outing, there's not enough evidence that he's headed downhill.

[snotboogie]

I think I'm more worried about Littell coming in than I am about Perez's bad 3rd inning.
