I have seen the future, First pitch in the majors...100 mph strike !

[Blake]

Watching Graterol throw his first pitch, I was surprised it touched 100 mph. One of those guys who throws hard without looking like he throws hard.

 

And putting two strikes on the low outside corner is unfair, well, not if you're a Twins fan.

[jimbo92107]

Wow, nice double play by Arraez. Footwork looked a little awkward, but good mustard on the throw. 

 

Chicken Dinnah! And another hard-throwing reliever in the pen!

[operation mindcrime]

Way to go Twins!!!!!

[operation mindcrime]

Thanks Tampa Bay!!!!!

[Blake]

I hope to see several appearances by Mr. Graterol. Be nice if he turns out to be the real deal. Though, won't really know until we see Graterol in a couple of high leverage situations.

 

If what we just saw from Graterol is who he is, just how stacked is the Twins bullpen now?

[IndyTwinsFan]

5.5 games up feels a lot better. Let's increase that tomorrow!

[mickeymental]

no home runs? season is over.

[IndianaTwin]

Folks, 99 mph is loud.

[ScrapTheNickname]

 

 

An example of literally overlooking a lesser opponent!

[wabene]

Buxton and Graterol up the middle!

Exactly my thoughts!

I wonder how long it would take before Baldelli would trust a rookie in high leverage spots?

Dude I just can't believe the youngster is up. This is foreign territory for this Twins fan.

I have to say I enjoyed the vintage and quaint little offensive outburst early in this game.

Based on what I've read, and one inning today, I will be sorely disappointed if Brusdar Graterol does not win the Cy Young Award next year.

You might want to re-think that, I haven't seen anything saying he's going to be that good. First off, he's going to need to build up some innings if he's going to stick as a starter in 2020.

your snarkometer needs calibration.

First-ballot HoF in 2020, I think you mean.

[Don Walcott]

Don't be absurd. He has to be retired for 5 years to be eligible for the HoF. But I do expect a first ballot election.

The Hall can waive their own rules anytime they like, for instance on grounds of super-awesomeness.

Good point. ROY next year, Cy Young in 2021. Otherwise, we fire Wes Johnson.

I agree!  My expectations are high.

We just set the MLB record for home runs.  Let's dream a little...
