Keep going, keep going, keep going.

 

Gonna need 4+ runs to feel comfortable (sad but true) 

 

Good call (might have needed more)

[Danchat]

 

That second run was 100% on the first baseman who did not go after the ball. 

If Adrianza goes after that ball, he's diving into the baserunner. From the angle I saw I don't think he could have caught that.

[MNT1996]

 

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....

 

Compare his numbers at AT&T park vs. other ballparks

[Aggies7]

Dyson got two more outs than I would have if I had pitched the same amount of innings.

[Kato87]

has the baldelli lama forgot how to manage a bullpen...

3 consecutive appearances for both romo and rogers

 

[DocBauer]

Food, bed, and an early morning meeting are calling me. I need to bow out.

 

It's OK, this is how all the Royals/Twins games go.

 

We're still going to win.

[operation mindcrime]

Dyson makes Matt Capps look like Trevor Hoffman!

[twins1095]

Sucks Dyson has been bad.  Timing is awful but he's good.  Gotta keep throwing him out there.

[mrtwinsfan]

Rocco i ask ya again,  you trusted May in a tight spot, then we score 5 , he threw 1 pitch,

[HawksNest]

This pitching staff is so screwed if we make the playoffs.  Woof.

 

[MNT1996]

 

Dumb.

 

Just like the mental gymnastics you go through to make excuses for Dyson

[Aggies7]

Sucks Dyson has been bad.  Timing is awful but he's good.  Gotta keep throwing him out there.

No, you don’t have to keep putting him out there.

Funny things happen in small sample sizes

If Adrianza goes after that ball, he's diving into the baserunner. From the angle I saw I don't think he could have caught that.

 

I don't mean stretch, I mean, run after the damn thing after it goes by him. He gave up on it, and it bounced around past the foul line for a few seconds before anyone decided to follow up. Almost like he assumed it went into the dugout or something.

[Aggies7]

Can anyone get a ****ing out?

[twins_89]

Wow, Dyson's first two appearances have been a complete disaster: 0.2 IP, 6 H, 2 BB, 6 runs (or more).

[twins1095]

 

No, you don’t have to keep putting him out there.

 

I meant future appearances.  Right time to pull him here but future....

[David HK]

SF FO just now.

 

[HawksNest]

Why does it feel like we're losing?

[Danchat]

Yuck... though I will say this about Dyson, he gave up a legit double and single and then did his job - he induced some groundballs, but had Sano butcher the throw and had the shift thwart a routine groundout.

[Dave The Dastardly]

 

They need to have Byron wear some sort of shoulder pads, Why not ?

After careful consideration and suggestions from the training staff; Buxton's new uniform.

 

[MNT1996]

26.1 IP at AT&T vs. 24.1 IP not at AT&T

[MMMordabito]

Methinks Mr. Dyson made a deal with the devil and some part of the contract is past due.

[rickybeathard]

LOL now we have Romo in?

[Aggies7]

FIFTEEN hits for the royals tonight, folks. The same royals we laughed at when the Indians mopped the floor with them

[Mill1634]

 

Step off the ledge people. 

 

He will be fine. I promise. 

[Shaitan]

Hmm, should I start reading this thread?

[Mill1634]

For as bad as Dyson has been in his start to the Twins career, Romo has been much better than I anticipated!!!!

[mikeee]

pesky royals...

[rickybeathard]

Okay, I like the energy from Romo.
