Stay scared, my friends. Stay scared. 

[Brock Beauchamp]

 

What are you having? I’m having my own creation and it’s heavy. 4 or 5 get me hungover

I didn't actually drink four beers in a half inning. That'd be kind of amazing but also because I'm in my 40s, incredibly painful to deal with tomorrow morning.

 

I'm drinking Summit Summer Ale. It's entirely adequate but a solid summer offering without going too light or sweet.

MAJOR props to Twins nation for u guys holding composure yesterday after my Tribe won and also putting it to the Yankees.   This race for the central is gonna be epic! two outstanding teams that could easily win a pennant

 

If you are going to be nice... It's gonna be hard not to like you. 

[Aggies7]

Cmon Perez attack

This isn't a post of the rocketpig of old. So disappointed.

 

And there goes the ball, again.

[Nine of twelve]

Urk.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Ugh say it ain’t so

[Aggies7]

An 0-2 hit followed by a 2-0 home run.

[USAFChief]

JHFC.

[Mill1634]

Welp. 

 

The winner of this game is going to score double digits. This is going to be a not-so-exciting finish, with this bullpen. I would suspect Perez is done after the 5th. 

[Brock Beauchamp]

 

Nothing wrong with sharing time with another quality catcher. After all, cant catch every game. But if he hadn't had his IL stint, should have been the All Star catcher. IMO

Oh, I like the idea he's getting so much rest. It's better for the second half of the season (and hopefully postseason).

 

But it also makes it a lot easier for him to post gaudy numbers against catchers who have to go out there 66% of the time and get the snot beat out of them.

[TFRazor]

So about the balls not being juiced...

[Brock Beauchamp]

This is absurd.

[D. Hocking]

 

This reminds me of tings I learned to do in my high school computer math class using Basic on the mighty Apple 2e.   Skill that did not lead to a lucrative career in computer programing.

 

This is not exactly a pitcher's duel.

[operation mindcrime]

I've seen enough of Martin Perez!!!!!

[Riverbrian]

 

Accuse me of hyperbole all you want, but I think Garver is fast becoming the best all around catcher in baseball.

 

Jeez,

 

Now I gotta think about how much I want. 

[h2oface]

Jeez, Perez. RIGHT DOWN THE VERY CENTER OF THE ZONE!

 

So I now drop the 7 runs and go with the 10 to win.

Only 76 pitches for Perez but it feels like 176

[Riverbrian]

 

So Sabathia has to be the first active player to get an angiogram, right?

 

That makes the Twins the first team ever to get 4 HR off a starting pitcher who had a coronary angiogram.

 

On a Monday

*gigantic eyeroll*

 

Karl is a communist.  He can't be serious.

[Aggies7]

I've seen enough of Martin Perez!!!!!

Me too, but there’s literally nobody else. Bullpen or otherwise

[DocBauer]

I waited as long as I could to pour my first beer, not wanting to get to drunk watching this gam. Poured it to start the bottom half of this inning and I’m almost finished

Dry for 4+ days trying to kill this bug. Alternating between good beer and great beer.

 

Another run or two given up, may have to switch to cheap stuff! Lol

 

#going down way too easy tonight!

[wabene]

Ahh gad!!

"only?"

[Jham]

Houston leading Oaktown 11 to 1. Astros May be better than us...

[Aggies7]

Hey Taylor you have 4 in ya tonight? Not outs, innings?

[bighat]

Perez makes Gibson look like Mark Buehrle on the hill.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Perez doesn't normally work this slowly, does he? It seems like he's just dragging out there.

[Aggies7]

Perez is just not good. Really isn’t.
