Is it really asking for too much to have a pitcher go 6 measly innings? Really!

[MNT1996]

 

He's got great stuff today, but is having trouble locating it.

 

A guy can have all the best stuff in the world, but if he can't find the zone it doesn't matter how good the stuff is.

[Squirrel]

Thank goodness it’s the Sox otherwise that could’ve been a lot worse.

[Puckett34]

 

You must not have paid him enough

Knew I forgot something

Um, he did. Wasn’t good there at the end, but he got through it.

[Squirrel]

Thank you, Hector!

[MNT1996]

Cave might actually reach double digits in homeruns by season's end

[FLTwinsGuy]

Ahh the memories Hector!!!

To me Berrios outing today was Horrible,  anyone else ?

I wouldn’t say horrible but it had its moments. And we are still up 7.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Cron just needs that triple.

He got a triple strike.

 

Does that count?

Not a disaster though. Better than the last 4 or 5 starts.

What is wrong with Sano, Kepler and Gonzales?

[VATwinsFan]

Duffey--Dyson--Dobnak to finish it up?

[FLTwinsGuy]

What is wrong with Sano, Kepler and Gonzales?

All three are a little beat up

[Bandit34]

Whoever lit the match in Schoop's shoes, I would like to say THANK YOU!

[Sssuperdave]

I'm hoping for three innings of Dobnak... let everyone else have another day off!

[MNT1996]

Oof Arraez got lucky with that one

[HawksNest]

Per Gleeman:

 

In today's start, Berrios had the third-lowest four-seam velocity (92.1) and fourth-lowest two-seam velocity (91.4) of his career.

 

Almost exactly a year ago (8/21/2018), in the same ballpark vs. the same opponent, he averaged 95.0 and 93.9 on those pitches.

[Bandit34]

And a big thank you goes out to whoever scouted Luis Arraez. Boy, he's going to be a special player for us!

[TFRazor]

 

Totally agree. Probably no more than 3 or 4 home runs coming from this lineup. Pathetic.

Well kudos to this guy. Called it.

[yarnivek1972]

Duffey--Dyson--Dobnak to finish it up?

Not sure why you want to use two of your top 4 in a 7 run game.

[mrtwinsfan]

Trevor Larnach, is moving quickly in the minors, got a great swing and good plate disipline

[Bandit34]

How I wish Dobnak's first name was Nick. Just think of it! Nick Nak Paddywhack hit the ball to Cron!

[mrtwinsfan]

Without moving his feet  Cron has great range

[yarnivek1972]

Without moving his feet Cron has great range

Which is good, because when he moves his feet he has the speed of growing grass.

Does Cruz have to roll home?

[Bandit34]

Good schtuff maynard!

[Blake]

 

What is wrong with Sano, Kepler and Gonzales?

The White Sox.

 

In other words, if the Twins were playing a real team, Kepler and company would probably find a way to get into the lineup.
