GARVER!!

 

Mike Piazza's highest season OPS was 1.069 in 1997, the year of his incredible .362 average and 40 HR.

 

Garver's OPS entering tonight's game is 1.096.

[MVP Nick Punto]

Didn't we have a 4-run lead in the middle innings about 24 hours ago?

Angry react

Der Schlagger update (7:12 EDT) -- with his next homer, he will tie Glenn Hubbard for second place on the career home run list among players born in Germany. He has hit 18.50 percent of all home runs hit by players born in Germany. 

 

If he was born in Iceland or New Hampshire... he would have been there already.

Da Da Da

[mrtwinsfan]

Alright Berrios its showtime,

[Nine of twelve]

Cool, the rare 1 putout.

[Aggies7]

The throws to first have been pretty brutal lately. Cron has saved us many times

[mrtwinsfan]

Error on PolaNCO ??  Cron to me- in his glove

[bighat]

These 10-pitch at bats are so darn frustrating...

[Oldgoat_MN]

Berrios has been pretty good out there. Only 2 hits in 6 innings.

Don't like that his pitch count over 100.

I mean, I'll take the 6 innings and say thank you!

But something's amiss.

[stringer bell]

Nine outs. Three for Rogers and uh........

[Danchat]

Even with Berrios at 103 pitches I'd send him out there for the 7th. Gotta give the bullpen some time-er, I mean ready Rogers for his 2 inning save.

[Nine of twelve]

Eins, zwei, drei!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Riverbrian]

KEPLER!!!

KEPLER!!!

[Richie the Rally Goat]

while I still don’t trust the bullpen, I do trust Berrios way more than Perez

[IndianaTwin]

 

Der Schlagger update (8:00 EDT) -- with that homer, he has tied Glenn Hubbard for second place on the career home run list players born in Germany. He has hit 18.72 percent of all home runs hit by players born in Germany. He needs eight more to tie Mike Blowers.

 

 

Yadda, yadda, yadda. Now in second. 18.93 percent.

 

And both three-homer games in his career have been in Cleveland.

Waiting for you Brian!

 

It takes longer when you have to type it 3 times. 

 

Plus I'm exhausted on top of that. I've been typing Kepler a lot. 

[adorduan]

That's how you break out of a slump....

[LaBombo]

Wunderschön.

[Pardon My Dinger]

Yeah, Kep’s second 3-HR game in Cleveland. He deserves a tribute anthem.

[adorduan]

4 run lead, let's see if this mess of a bullpen can hold it....

[VATwinsFan]

Maximum Kepler

Uber Maximum Kepler.

[Nine of twelve]

Dicknbert talking about the rotation being pushed back with an extra off day. Who's up tomorrow in the Rochester rotation? I see Smeltzer going back down with Stewart or someone getting called up for one start. Then whoever that is will go back down when Pineda comes off the IL.
