Game Thread Mets @ Twins 12:10 PM 7/17/19

Garver was behind the plate in the Santana at bat too. They still have pregame meetings to discuss how to pitch to guys, right?

 

Do they forget?

If they do, it's time for a new plan.

[FLTwinsGuy]

Bremer and Smalley were JUST talking about how May's "emergence" may be a huge addition to the bullpen and that we are going to get internal help.

 

No joke.

Good lord i am so sick of the "internal help" bull**** with this team...

[BattleYourTailOff]

Between Garvers passed balls trying to frame balls and his weakness with his calling and overruling pitchers he definitely needs more work back there.

[Tomj14]

Not to pick on Nick Nelson, but his reply to me lumping May with Parker.

 

"May below Harper? And at the same level as Parker??:huh:"

[HawksNest]

Don't worry, Cody Allen is on the way

[Aggies7]

In all honesty, I don’t think it would be even possible for the team to add as much pitching help as it needs at this point. What do they need? At least two relievers and a starter? At minimum? Good luck getting all that.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I expect another "Twins bullpen help may be internal" article any moment now.

Direct? Or indirect?

[twinsbaby]

Amed Rosario plays like a superstar in this series.

[bighat]

incredible play by their shortstop there, good hustle and AB by Gonzalez.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Let the Wookie win?

[Vanimal46]

I've been watching the game on my phone and couldn't comment at the same time... You can't throw that pitch, May. People are looking for the curve on 0-2 and your curve is light years away from Pressly's hammer curve.

[SpicyGarvSauce]

Another great PA by Sano in crunch time.

[mrtwinsfan]

Nice a.b. Sano

Get something from outside the organization. For real. Maybe their goal is to tank and let the Indians pass them so they have a built in excuse when they let the deadline pass doing nothing lol.

[yarnivek1972]

After today’s loss would be a good time for the manager to call out his team’s heart.

[twinsbaby]

Sano' swing-and-miss ability is a big problem.

Yeah, you know those spiking attendance numbers?

[MNT1996]

Yeah he's outplaying our shortstop that's for sure

[SpicyGarvSauce]

It's an 80 grade.

Polanco has been brutal lately...as has Kepler, sans the game vs. Bauer.

Yeah....for realz that's probably it.

 

Nailed it....

I wish but im not sure Rocco ever gets upset..kind of ridiculous actually

[twinsbaby]

Why not trade Sano for pitching help? He is not good on the both sides of the ball.

[MNT1996]

We're seriously going to get swept by the Mets...at home...in the midst of a potential playoff run. I don't know what screams Minnesota sports more than that.

[twinsnorth49]

Calling out a first place team for having no heart is unlikely to have a positive effect.

 

Wait until they fall out of first like all the prognosticators here are calling for.

At this point I think I would be okay with this. 

[bighat]

Because the return would be crappy.

[twinsnorth49]

Damn acorns.

[twinsbaby]

Sano' K% is about 40%!!! I check and I don't know who can succeed at this very high rate.

[gocgo]

 

Why not trade Sano for pitching help? He is not good on the both sides of the ball.

Two reasons.  First, with so many teams in the running for playoff spots, we would giving away a young guy that can bang out 40+ for what would probably be a half year rental.  Second, we would be giving away a young guy that can bang out 40+.
