Perez's start against NYY 7/22: 4 IP, 5 ER, 7 Hs, 4 Ks, 3 HRs

Perez's start against KCR 8/2: 5 IP, 5 ER, 7 Hs, 3 Ks, 3 HRs

 

I'm willing to give Perez with a bad start against the Yanks, but yikes, this isn't looking good. Of course, this is nothing strange for Perez's track record...

TIme to get Perez out of here.  

 

Man, wish Falvey and Levine knew how to work a phone and would have given the Blue Jays a call back re: Stroman.  This is just painful

 

FWIW, the Twins were trying to acquire Stroman before he was traded to the Mets. There was a report from a local scribe that the Twins FO was PO'd when the trade took place as they were apparently serious and never got a call back. Some are of the opinion this is local reporting hyperbole.

 

Take it all as you will.

At the same time, Toronto asked for either Kiriloff or Lewis and the Twins said no

Get out of here man every single player on the Twins has dozens of ABs where the popped out with runners in scoring position.  WAIT EVERY SINGLE PLAYER IN THE MLB DOES.

Perez has given up 4 or more runs in 6 of his last 9 starts.

I was anything but a supporter for the Perez signing, despite the FO being familiar with him, or his previous prospect rankings.

 

Then he got off to an amazing start, which I enjoyed but didn't trust.

 

The weird thing is, when he began to struggle, I suddenly found myself supporting him. It seemed to me the games I listened to and watched, be was suddenly a victim of errors, squibs, and the "one bad inning" syndrome. I still saw good IP and good SO numbers. Even tonight, some good IP. I'm just not sure who he is at this point.

PS - how did Eddie not get a double on his hit last inning? Not running hard. Disappointed, Eddie!

Pretty sure outside of Berrios's starts (and Pineda crazy enough) we have to score 8-10 runs every game to give us a chance

For example, the Messiah himself, Bryce Harper, came up with the bases loaded last inning when the Chisox intentionally walked Hoskins to get to him.  Harper struck out.  It happens.

Yeah I saw that report too.  

 

The point being that if that's the guy you identify to upgrade the rotation, I don't want to hear whining from the FO through the local media that they "never got a call back" from the Blue Jays.

 

Falvine have a telephone, keep calling, call them back, etc. etc. it's not that complicated.

 

They can call, text, whatever. "never got a call back" just sounds like a lame excuse to me especially considering we had PLENTY of prospect ammunition to give up to get Stroman.

 

Could be wrong (I probably am, lol) but just feels like they botched the Stroman deal, a huge miss.

 

Just my two cents.

I know that Zach Littel and Lewis Thorpe are different people but what do they do differently again?  Is Littel the one that got a MPH bump from the bullpen?
