Thanks Joe West

[bighat]

Not saying Sano's play was excusable - but he was trying to pick up a pitcher who's been absolutely awful. He wouldn't have tried that throw if Dyson hadn't struggled so terribly.

[Aggies7]

Throw a bleeping party, he got an out. Holy ****

[jtkoupal]

And just as I type the above, he strikes a guy out.

[Mill1634]

DYSON!!!

 

Now you're just pitching

[David HK]

When brain cramps happen, they sure are contagious.

 

Sano trying to help out his pitcher and doing too much on a tough play, then ffs, Adrianza not going after that errant throw. Took forever for the RF to get to it.

[jud6312]

Joe West should get a hold for that called third.

[Aggies7]

Back to back outs. Glad I’m sitting down

[operation mindcrime]

I thought this Dyson guy had an unhittable cutter!

[HawksNest]

That cutter was gross.  

 

Progress!

[jud6312]

 

Sam Dyson is legitimately better than every hitter he has faced thus far. The fact he hasn't retired a single one is a sad anomaly. I feel for the guy. He's gotta be putting a lot of pressure on himself to rebound from yesterday, when he had to pitch after a cross-country flight and not arriving to the stadium until after the game starter.

 

The excuses end after today, without a doubt. But I have faith in Dyson

 

Philly to Miami isn't cross country.

[70charger]

 

The front office had to have seen his numbers when not in San Fran, right? Right?!

 

Yes. 

 

I'm assuming they saw the 0.90 WHIP.

 

Or maybe the 170 ERA+.

 

Or the 2.73 FIP.

 

Or if you're still a block of wood up top, the 2.43 ERA.

 

Anything else you know that you think the FO doesn't? Because if you've got proprietary information and you're holding out on us....

 

 

[Don Walcott]

Anyone else find it ominous that the Target Field people were playing "Danger Zone" while Dyson was warming up?

Seriously bad choice. Best bp entry song ever? Hells Bells for Trevor Hoffman.

[David HK]

 

I had to laugh yesterday when Levine was on with PA and mentioned multiple times the word "weapons" when it comes to our bullpen.....mmmkay

Did he specify for which team?

[Aggies7]

I thought this Dyson guy had an unhittable cutter!

No you heard wrong. He has an unintelligible stutter

[DocBauer]

Time to make fans Dyson

[jud6312]

Did Richard really just say that between yesterday and today you can see why Dyson has been successful?

[MNT1996]

 

I thought this Dyson guy had an unhittable cutter!

 

Well it sure does a great job of cutting down the Twins' leads

[gil4]

 

Joe West should get a hold for that called third.

He doesn't have the hold yet.

[nicksaviking]

If the team is going to bring in ground all pitchers late in innings, they're going to need to defensive shift Sano. He and Adrianza are on the wrong bases.

[Aggies7]

Philly to Miami isn't cross country.

2 1/2 hour flight. Maybe 3. People acting like he walked there.

[David HK]

Omg, Castro.

 

Saving bacon there.

 

**Edit** 

For a moment.

[Mill1634]

I'm pretty confident Zack Littell will be in the bullpen tomorrow evening.

 

 

[Halsey Hall]

This Dyson fellow leaves a bit to be desired.

[MNT1996]

I really want the Twins fans to boo here

[bighat]

Let Dyson sit for the rest of the series. Hit the reset button, please. Enough already.

[jud6312]

 

Yes. 

 

I'm assuming they saw the 0.90 WHIP.

 

Or maybe the 170 ERA+.

 

Or the 2.73 FIP.

 

Or if you're still a block of wood up top, the 2.43 ERA.

 

Anything else you know that you think the FO doesn't? Because if you've got proprietary information and you're holding out on us....

 

And what are those numbers AWAY from San Fran, as the question was posed?

[Aggies7]

Dude. This guy can’t be this bad, right? Like, he’s bad, even for our bullpen.

[70charger]

 

I really want the Twins fans to boo here

 

Dumb.

[IndyTwinsFan]

As I've questioned before, why can't we do anything easy? It always seems to be a high-wire act.
