Game Thread "Bo" Twins vs. A's 6:10pm cdt 7/20/2019ad

[Don Walcott]

He is Gibson level, maybe slightly better. He isn't an ace. He has name recognition, but he isn't better than JO or Odo. He is dominant against lefties, average against righties, certainly not an ace.

I disagree. But we can leave that discussion for one of the many other articles on this site.

No. Email me when Gibson has any post season experience on the same stratosphere as Bumgarner. And yeah I realize it’s 2019 but nobody ever would take Gibson over Bumgarner unless they’re new to baseball

I don't care what prime Madison Bumgarner then. He isn't close to the same pitcher now as he was back then. Are you taking Hanley Rameriz over Jorge Polanco or Fernando Rodney over Taylor Rogers because of experience? I didn't think so.

Anderson has completely disrupted the Twins timing, just can't hit him hard. 

 

Every time I watch Anderson pitch over the years... He seems crafty. Like he knows what he is doing. 

 

I've just never watched him stay healthy. 

[Squirrel]

Cmon ... at least make it to the end of 6 ...

You’d roll with Gibson over Bumgarner post season 2019? Dohkay. Hope Rogers can pitch 6 innings against NYY

[Riverbrian]

 

four innings from rogers should do the trick.

 

I'd be perfectly OK with that.

This GT could use some Cake or Cookies or Rib Eye or Chicken Corn Dogs...anything as long as it's not a taco!

[wabene]

Huh?

IDK seems pretty self explanatory. I think Berrios is a cool guy and a better pitcher than Marcus. Marcus seems like a dick. I don't want him on our team. That being said it seems like we often hear people saying Berrios doesn't have his best stuff tonight.

Just how closely have you been watching him? <he says pensively>

[FLTwinsGuy]

That was a painful 5 2/3 innings of shut out baseball lol..if there is such a thing

Try making sense, in another thread.

Those two outs are big, as long as we can get out of it. That is two less outs the rest of fhe bullpen has to get to get the ball to Rogers. Hoping we are able to get thru the 7th and 8th without using Rogers, but who knows.

He can't pitch to the #9 hitter? Is his arm gonna fall off or something?

[glunn]

I am watching this through Gamecast yet praying that Baldelli brings in a reliever.

[bighat]

Okay Duff Man. Just this one time buddy. No wild pitches, no walks, no homers. Just a quick out and we'll all be happy.

Well, technically, one WP or BB wouldn't hurt, as long as there is an out.

[obtusebanter]

 

I may be wrong but hasnt Anderson always done well against Minnesota? Im about over these grounders

 

3-3 with a 3.83 ERA across 9 games and 7 starts.

Too many pitches could have consequences going forward, and no guarantee he will get another out tonight.

[tvagle]

Two deuces in the dirt and and a blooper to Right and were all tied up

 

Tom better fire up the Microwave and try some relish tonight

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

 

How about a 12-out save from Rogers?

 

Shirley, you jest.

[h2oface]

 

We have a lot, a lot, a LOT of discussion threads on this topic. If you want a discussion on this, that might be a better place for it, rather than in the midst of a game and game thread.

 

Just curious...... how is talk about baseball, any baseball, regardless of how much it has been discussed, not appropriate for a game thread, but color of words and talk about shoes, is? 

[PDX Twin]

 

Shirley, you jest.

 

Shirley's next door. Shall I go and ask?

I was just trying to be funny! You edited sick to dick before I submitted my reply! \m/

Duffy is showing some attitude.

 

Good.

[Mill1634]

Very nice work by Duffey. Offense MUST add runs on to a very average left hander who we haven't made work at all. 

[Don Walcott]

Nice job, Tyler!

Yeah last thread was about ketchup and mustard and hot dogs for 7 pages

There isn't.

Closely... He can't stay healthy for some reason. 

[Don Walcott]

Nice job, Mitch. Now let’s have an inning.
