Berrios, keeps trying the same thing, keeps getting the same result

[Squirrel]

Well poop, great way to start

[LVTwinsfan]

Borderline call there

to Cruz? that ball cut the plate in half

[FLTwinsGuy]

Does Berrios start game 1 of the ALDS??

[mrtwinsfan]

Well Jose if you werent into it-  U R nOW

[LVTwinsfan]

Berrios has turned into a very hittable pitcher

[FlauerPauer]

Berrios needs an IL stint. Dude has been awful the past month.

[FlauerPauer]

 

Does Berrios start game 1 of the ALDS??

 

Absolutely not. I'd go Pineda, Odorizzi, Berrios

[LVTwinsfan]

Does Berrios start game 1 of the ALDS??

Pineda would be my pick

[wabene]

to Cruz? that ball cut the plate in half

Yeah height wise but clearly outside then Berrios didn't get the same call

[FLTwinsGuy]

Pineda would be my pick

Id have to agree..i dont trust jose much anymore..hes been absolutely awful lately

[David HK]

 

Watching the Indians/sox game and did i read that correctly? Daniel Palka has a .020 BA?? Wooooow lol

I saw that too, and was shocked.

 

Then I got to thinking, that right now, in my 60th decade, not having played serious baseball since the Last Days of Disco, I really honestly think I could outhit Daniel Palka, right after I finish my breakfast.

[LVTwinsfan]

Yeah height wise but clearly outside then Berrios didn't get the same call

it was inside part of the plate, are we talking about the same pitch

[wabene]

it was inside part of the plate, are we talking about the same pitch

Probably not ☺️

[FlauerPauer]

I feel like Berrios needs to vary his pitches more. Too many curveballs over the plate. Too many fastballs and not enough changeups.

[David HK]

Hmph.

 

Just a quick glance through today's scores and happened to notice:

 

Bumgarner 1.0 IP, 7 pitches, 5 strikes.

 

Just sayin'...

[Aggies7]

Looks like la maquina needs the Maytag man

[LVTwinsfan]

Well one run is no big deal, we can’t win with zero anyway

[sampleSizeOfOne]

BABIP for the game is 1.000 after 1.

 

First pitch green monster dinger is the difference.

[mrtwinsfan]

Well Hope we can put up a few tonight,  cant count on our ACE

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Berrios needs an IL stint. Dude has been awful the past month.

And we posters have been thinking he’d get a rest for the last month, too.

 

Not sure what’s the thinking

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Well this is compelling baseball

 

[FlauerPauer]

Nice at bat, CJ. Need to have more at bats like that.

[LVTwinsfan]

Need to lay off those face high fastballs

[FlauerPauer]

Nice play, Tortuga!

[wabene]

I wonder what Astudillo was yelling at Berrios after that play

[Vanimal46]

Yikes...

[Aggies7]

Dude has to get fixed. Unreal what’s happened to him

[sampleSizeOfOne]

"No way he's going to throw a strike on the first pitch"

[FlauerPauer]

What do you know... a hanging, get me over, crappy curveball gets smashed to left field...
