GAME THREAD: Twins vs. Braves 8/7/19 12:10 CDT

Me thinks Perez is headed to a different role with this ball club when Pineda returns.

[Cap'n Piranha]

This is an odd start for a pitcher hoping not to be relegated to the bullpen.

[VATwinsFan]

 

Good thing the pen is rested...

Yep

[mendozaline]

Get me over fastballs on the first pitch.....good plan

[JW24]

Perez attacking the Braves with 92, down the middle, at the belt, is probably not what the scouting report recommended... 

[SwainZag]

Braves hitters aggressive , both HR's on the 1st pitch

[ashbury]

Reeeeeeeally disappointing.

[Dakota15]

Perez is awful

[VATwinsFan]

Four batters, two outs, two home runs.

 

.500 is a pretty good percentage, right?

[VATwinsFan]

Hope Nelson is still in Cruz mode.

[SwainZag]

Hopefully the bats came to play today

[MNT1996]

I really wish the Twins got a SP at the deadline

[Dakota15]

If we want a shot at this game, we have to pull Perez soon

[wsnydes]

Is this a replay from last night? We're not in a rain delay and CCO decided to air last night's game to fill time right?

[VATwinsFan]

OK then, six batter, four hits.

[bighat]

 

Perez is awful

 

Yeah, his triumphant return was clearly smoke and mirrors. Had a few nice outings early in the year but honestly this guy is EXACTLY the same guy who went 1-6 with a 6.54 ERA for Texas last year.

 

A scrap heap bum.

 

Thing is he's been very bad out of the pen as well. No options either. Twins are in a tough spot with him and don't want to cut bait. If they don't though, you see what happens.

And deplete the BP for the Cleveland series? I don't know if that's the move

[Jake24]

Yeah we didn't need any help at the deadline...

[bighat]

And have the 'pen burned up for the Cleveland series? Perez has put the Twins in a terrible spot here.

[SpicyGarvSauce]

Remember that sweet cutter that Perez developed that turned him into a front line starter?

 

Or how his mechanics look like Johan Santana's? Good times.

DFA!

[Cap'n Piranha]

Perez against the 7 above .500 teams he's faced;

 

38.1 IP (less than 5.2/start), 4.69 ERA, 1.36 WHIP, 6.6 k/9, 3.3 bb/9

[Bomba2026]

This is most likely the World Series matchup....

[operation mindcrime]

Perez is awful

You can say that again!!!!!

[Diesel]

That Homerun was CRUSHED

[MNT1996]

If Perez goes 5 scoreless from here on out he's still giving us a quality start. Bats will jump on Fried

[Aggies7]

c'mon rangers! 

[operation mindcrime]

This is most likely the World Series matchup....

Will we have home field?

Yeah, that isn't happening (Perez going 5 scoreless).
