Game Thread: Twins @ Indians 6/5/19 6:10pm CST

[Nine of twelve]

 

*Sigh*

*Sigh*

[Aggies7]

Perez, regression to the mean. Not good.

[VATwinsFan]

92 pitches and Perez isn't through the 5th.

[bighat]

Gonna need a replacement for Perez in this starting rotation, or coach Johnson needs to figure this out quick.

[HawksNest]

Man, that vaunted Cleveland lineup is up to their old tricks yet again!

[Mike Sixel]

It's clear they need to add pitching. We'll see in the next month, I guess. They already passed on spending only money....

[LaBombo]

 

I don’t think this rotation can win a pennant. Just my 2c

 

WhoaWhoaWhoa there, Champ! Next you'll be telling us that Odorizzi's 1.69 ERA might not be sustainable with a 4.28 xFIP...

[Danchat]

Well, this is the Perez I expected to see when he signed that deal. He has a track record of giving up a lot of runs...
 

 

I don’t think this rotation can win a pennant. Just my 2c

Well yeah, I don't think there's much debating there. This team needs more pitching.

 

 

I don't think this rotation can win the division...

Have you seen the 2019 AL Central? Perhaps most divisions would be a better way to phrase it.

[LVTwinsfan]

The Twins need to accept the fact that they are better than the Indians

[Aggies7]

Everyone who has ever watched postseason baseball should not expect our outrageous power numbers to be a lock in October.

[HawksNest]

Only 4 swing and misses from Perez's 92 pitches....woof

[Aggies7]

When does the Indians team with the horrible offense I’ve heard so much about show up?

[Blake]

Cleveland has received a big assist from the Sano throwing error.

[LaBombo]

 

The Twins need to accept the fact that they are better than the Indians

 

Oliver Perez is apparently the last holdout....

 

 

Unless you count Oliver Perez' German shepherd.

[Aggies7]

Cleveland has received a big assist from the Sano throwing error.

And a pretty bad starting pitching performance

[ashbury]

Gonna need a replacement for Perez in this starting rotation, or coach Johnson needs to figure this out quick.

Perhaps our vaunted Pitcher Whisperer can raise his voice a little.

[ashbury]

Rosario does a nice job tracking fly balls. That one to end the fifth was no piece of cake.

[wavedog]

That was a checked swing - ask the first base ump you jackwagon

[operation mindcrime]

What a horrible call!!!!

[ashbury]

And now a stick-it-to-you call to the next batter. The umpire's taking over this game at the moment in the way that gives umpires a bad name.

 

/ edit - and I give Marwin a ton of credit for understanding what was happening and keeping his cool on the first pitch.

[Aggies7]

Another guy giving 6” off the corners

[Aggies7]

Who are the SP’s that will legitimately be available?

[70charger]

Gonna be tough to hold this one together. Trevor May's control doesn't inspire much confidence.

[TFRazor]

After that inning my dislike of Laz Diaz increased. I honestly didn't think that was possible.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

What i miss?

[Mike Sixel]

Who are the SP’s that will legitimately be available?

No one for at least a month, I'd guess. Then? Bad pitchers, expensive pitchers, pitchers that will cost major prospects.....

[70charger]

 

Who are the SP’s that will legitimately be available?

 

Don't see why Bumgarner wouldn't be available. 

 

Zack Wheeler when the wheels inevitably fall off the Mets. (Pun intended.)

 

Mike Minor, but I'm skeptical he's as good as he's looked recently and seems like a regression candidate.

[Aggies7]

Rain really bearing down on Cleveland. Best to not relinquish this lead

[ashbury]

I wish someone could solve the puzzle and get the performance out of Trevor May. So many of his pitches are of the no-hope variety.

[ashbury]

What i miss?

You miss a little, you miss a lot.
