Game Thread: Twins vs. Yankees, 7/24/19, 7:10pm CST

I am beginning to wonder if Falvey's plan all the while was to ensure another Cleveland division title.

[Aggies7]

That’s 21 runs allowed in the last 6 innings. It’s hard not to “be better” than that

[Mill1634]

Odo certainly has the swing and miss stuff, but his misses are bad. Hangers, and they get crushed. 

[Roaddog]

Cave is still better than Delmon in the field.

 

I think.

Just think, some fans thought Cave was as good or better than Buxton

[notoriousgod71]

 

 

"Kyle Gibson gave up 5ER in 5IP and that's the best start in this series for either team."

LOL

 

Like I kept saying today, people were bashing Gibson and he's the only guy that has come within a country mile of not being terrible. If Baldelli had a bullpen, I doubt he even throws to Gregorius.

 

If that's the case, Gibby doesn't even last five innings, which is terrible.

[ashbury]

Off the bat of Butera, I believe.

Twist the knife, twist the knife.

 

The Royals fan seated near us was not gracious to the two fans wearing TC hats after that play. Good thing there was a RoyalsDaily moderator there to keep me from taking a swing at him.

[LVTwinsfan]

This is not a slump, this is the Twins. You can’t win without pitching, no matter how many homers you hit

[cmoss84]

Remember, Yanks pen not exactly in good shape either. We still have a chance if we can chase Happ early

[h2oface]

How about a 5 spot here. Get things rockin'.

[ashbury]

Eh, at least that pitch wasn't terrible. Kudos to the hitter.

 

At least someone finally got Gregorious out.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, we have entered the "at least" phase of tonight's game.

We can’t possibly score enough to cover the trash that we call a staff.

[Pius Jefferson]

Cleveland now up 3-0 top of the 9th. 

 

 

[VATwinsFan]

Twins' batters have to be just slightly ticked off.

Bet the guy who was hanging around here is loving life

[h2oface]

...and Happ gets the outside edge that Odo doesn't......

Remember when the discussion was that Kepler could be traded as part of the package for Realmuto because Cave was just as good, if not better?

Good, so they’ve got a ways to go til they catch up to me

[nicksaviking]

Provus just said that Perkins tweeted that last nights loss was his fault. The idea being that Terry Ryan was so smitten after the HR Perkins gave up to Murphy in 2015 that Ryan thought it would be a good move to trade Hicks for him.

 

Any Twiterer got that link? Sounds pretty funny, even if sad and perhaps partially true.

I don’t get that. The first time i saw him play this year i thought he was terrible, and doesn’t look like a professional at all.

Nah, those pitches Odorizzi threw that were drilled earlier were dead red over the plate. Crap pitches, frankly.

 

That last homer was a legit good hit on a pitch that was hard to turn on (inside pitch quite high in the zone).

I saw it, it did indeed happen

[Krabby5]

Twins have had some bad teams over the years but can’t recall the entire pitching staff imploding at the same time before.

Good thing they don’t play in the AL East

[jud6312]

It's good to see that last night's exciting thrill ride has lit a fire under them. Hopefully the parade route runs by the State Capitol again so I can watch from my office window.

[Brock Beauchamp]

That was a lazy ****ing inning from the middle of the lineup.

That was absolutely a juiced ball hit

I was told last nights game was great regardless of the outcome, but nobody admitted that the result so far would be almost certain to follow a loss like that

Lulling them into a sense of false security. It's called strategory.

At least I can take it when someone refutes my point.

Except the Twins lost a heartbreaker to Oakland just a few days ago, then turned around and won the next game.

[Mill1634]

We can't even get Austin Romine out...yikes.
