Hiya gang, afraid I cant stick around. Looks like a bad 1st for Perez but he's settled down.

Could I oblige someone for a brief rundown on how he's looked?

He had a bad 1st, but has settled down.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Does the quotation mark thing apply to exclaiming?

 

"Cruz!!!!"?

[Mill1634]

EDDIE!

“We’ve secretly replaced Minnesota’s 2019 Twins team with their 2016 Twins team. Will this ineptitude go unnoticed by their fan base? Let’s find out!”

Yes.

[Riverbrian]

It has always bugged me that KANSAS City was located in MISSOURI. 

 

As I look at the script on the front of their uniform... I'm grateful that they finally changed the name. 

 

I would have settled for MISSOURI City but Los Reales is fine with me.

Efficient 1-2-3 innings the last 2 innings. Getting ground balls and not getting too deep into counts.

 

He hasn't struck out a batter yet. Not really fooling guys - but he's pitching against the Royals so he can just kinda throw it down the middle and let them get themselves out.

 

He hasn't been dominant in any way, nothing encouraging, nothing overly awful. He's continuing his steady run of unimpressive outings.

Beating the Royals at their own game

Concur.

[Brock Beauchamp]

They scored!!!!!

 

Can they now pinch-hit Sano?

 

We don’t want this team getting cocky.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Never mind, Cron took one for Sano.

[jz7233]

Sano has 95 at bat in 2019 so far, 45 of them are strikeouts. He is actually getting worse. Half of his at bat is going to be strikeouts.

[DocBauer]

Thanks guys. Pitch count looks good.

You beat me to it.

 

I was going to go with "I could think of quite few voice actors better than Mrs. Olson." but you used her first. 

 

 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Tie game...

 

Better than last night.

[LVTwinsfan]

Way to go Perez

[ashbury]

I'm not possessive. I'd have to change my login name to ashbury's, if I was.

[bighat]

Twins tie it up and Perez walks the leadoff guy the next inning. Twins have really been under my skin the past week with stuff like this. I feel like Aggie right about now as my grump-o-meter starts jumping.

[Riverbrian]

Grey Top with Grey Pants with red piping and a navy blue TC Cap. 

 

Pants are long style with no part of the sock displayed. I'd guess Six Foot and maybe 190 Pounds. 

 

 

[USAFChief]

OK, now I've lost patience with Perez.

[LVTwinsfan]

Hard to watch this team lately

I'm a contraction.

Straight in to Castro to get the signs. Hasn't missed one yet.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

OK, now I've lost patience with Perez.

Where'd you last see it?

 

Or perhaps you can do without it?

[LVTwinsfan]

Turn three

[bighat]

Over the past 44 innings of baseball the Twins have played, they've held a lead for a grand total of 2 half-innings. A brief 4-3 lead in Boston for one and Kepler's walk-off was the other.

Hard to watch this team lately

 

I remember watching in 2018 and 2016. 

 

This team... I watch with Glee. 

[ashbury]

Good time for a strikeout.
