That was fugly. Going to be a short day for Berrios if he doesn’t find his breaking ball.

[John Kelsey]

That could have been much worse. 

[mrtwinsfan]

 

Think Cron gets that?

yes i do-  you?

[Mill1634]

Lucky to get out of that with only one run. Need Berrios to pick it up obviously. Not sure I have ever seen JO that off with his breaking ball. 

[Circus Boy]

Good of Jose to get his bad inning out of the way right off the bat. I predict a lights out performance going forward. 

[yarnivek1972]

yes i do- you?

50/50. It was hit pretty hard.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Yeah, and Sano made a good effort. Pretty quick response and a solid dive. And he was still several inches away from even knocking down the ball.

 

The ball was close to uncatchable.

[mickeymental]

season is over.

[mrtwinsfan]

Look like they r trying to pull everything- wrong approach

[FLTwinsGuy]

Guess we are trying to beat our strikeout numbers from last night

[Brock Beauchamp]

While Sano has improved his K rate considerably, that PA surprised me exactly not at all.

[yarnivek1972]

Hopefully, Beiber starts hanging some of those sliders because the Twins aren’t doing anything with them.

[John Kelsey]

Bieber has really been lights out lately, this is going to be a tough one. 

[yarnivek1972]

That was a good curve.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Schoop is a friggin’ clown in the field.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Looks like Jose found the curveball.

[Darius]

The Indians pitchers do such a great job of consistently getting that outside strike early in counts to get ahead. I’ve noticed it the last two nights, that they so consistently hot that spot that the ump starts giving them a little extra room out there.

 

The way they all can get that breaking pitch to stay on the same plane as that fast outside, then dive out of the zone, has been pretty fun to watch as well. Even though we’re winning this series, we’ve had some silly looking strikeouts.

 

This pitching staff is really good. I still think they make the playoffs.

Still trying to ice fish?

 

I admire thy tenacity!

[John Kelsey]

Homer Bailey scratched from his start, sounds like he's on the move.

Doh!

Oakland got him. He was impressive against the Twins a couple weeks ago.

[yarnivek1972]

Warning track power...

[Aggies7]

"That one hit pretty well..."
 

caught with one foot on the track

Hard to read that ball but it sure looked like the wind knocked it down.

[yarnivek1972]

That’s three straight outs by Arraez. He’s in a huge slump.

[diehardtwinsfan]

Just got to the airport... where's the O? I still want an exclamation point on this series today.

[Mill1634]

Not the start I expected from JO at all. 

[Aggies7]

looks like jose's winless streak will get to 1 1/2 months

[yarnivek1972]

Bremer mentioned that in his last 19 IP, just 10 K. In this era, that is a red flag. That’s Brad Radke territory.
