Sure hope we get more offense then this......

 

I feel like batters are pressing as the game goes on because runs have been hard to come by. Kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy type thing.

Please tell me this isn't another game where the Twins offense scores a couple early runs only to be shut-out the rest of the game.

Okay, I won't tell you that. Mostly because I can't tell you that because I won't know that until the game is over.

Are you sure you aren't confusing Nordstroms with this?

I've managed to avoid Fuelog footwear....but not this croc of poo

Tough to describe... But here is an example of the programming that will be seen on all 290 channels after they lose the Fox Sports Regional Network Contract. Just for the little people that I fight for. 

That's some fine acting!

I was especially impressed by the Military guy dancing and drinking coffee.

I think Chapman has personally made Jose throw 40 pitches. 

[yarnivek1972]

Almost 90 pitches for Jose. No bueno.

[Mill1634]

Chapman has taken up like 20% of Berrios pitches. I'm sure he gets sent out for the 6th, but doubt he'd be able to finish it. 

[FLTwinsGuy]

Im curious, do you view Berrios as an ace?

I'm pretty good at putting 2 and 2 together. 

 

You were that Kid... When your Mom told you not to do something... it only served to provide you with an idea of something to do, that you hadn't even considered before.

I'm not falling it for it. 

[bighat]

C'mon Jose, put these guys away already.

Not yet.

No.  He's a solid to good #2, but he's not an ace

[twinsnorth49]

Oakland has been stupid disciplined against Berrios, impressive. 

[BattleYourTailOff]

Berrios isn’t an ace. Why do you think everyone is clamoring for a front end SP so hard?

[yarnivek1972]

He might be over 100 pitches after 5.

Let's not get Dick 'n Roy talking about Ducks being Fair or Foul

I’m no shoe expert . . . . That’s all I got.

If your opponent had the Twins bullpen, wouldn’t your strategy be to makr them throw as many innings as possible?

[Mill1634]

 

Im curious, do you view Berrios as an ace?

Not yet, but I view very few pitchers as an ace. 

 

Scherzer, Grienke, DeGrom, Syndergaard, Verlander, Kershaw, Sale, and Kluber when he was healthy.

 

Everyone else is a number 1, but not an ace. There is a difference in my mind. An ace is going to have their best stuff every time out there, while a number one is going to have nights where they are fighting themselves (see JO tonight). 

 

JO could become an ace, but I think that is probably a dream at this point.

But is Bumgarner or Stroman front end? I dont think so..

[Nine of twelve]

Oakland no runs on 4 hits thru 5 but they sure have made Berrios work.
