Game Thread "Odysseus" Twins vs Royals 1:10pm cdt 9/22/2019ad

Far be it from a Twins starter to throw a shutdown inning after taking a big lead

[etwink]

Throw strikes.....but don’t use your 4th best pitch on a guy with 1 career HR!

 

Man, Perez is a riddle inside an enigma.

I like Sano’s sunglasses

KC spotting us 6 runs in the first inning was probably overkill. A 4 run lead is probably more realistic.  

[mrtwinsfan]

Nice inning Twins,  Perez is awfull,  Better keep scoring 6-2 will it be  all we need ?

[LVTwinsfan]

So Martin is going to follow Gibson out the door right?

Gibson will hold the door for him

[FlauerPauer]

 

With a 6 run lead one would think that Perez would stop flipping nibbling but then starts 2-0. This is the
Royals, throw strikes!!

Love how Sano has turned himself into an asset. The BA is still poor, but man is he really destroying baseballs lately.

 

is a .245 BA bad for a guy who hits 30+ homers with an OPS over .900?

I'd like it to be higher, but I'm not going to complain much about it. It is 2019 after all.

All the squirrels in my back yard are barefoot.

Perhaps you should be looking for shoes too! Winter is coming, you don't want them to freeze their paws off do you?

Yes.

I’ll say it again; Gibson is a realistic bounce-back case. He had things figured out for 18 months and then you can honestly believe that his sickness is the cause for his troubles (though I can see the FO giving up on his as well), but Perez was God awful for years, had 3 months of success, and now he’s God awful again. LaTroy Hawkins said it himself; the league has adjusted, now Perez needs to adjust again....but can he? He’s given very little glimpses the last few months that he has it in him.

BTW, Philadelphia at Cleveland is on ESPN at 5:30 CDT today. I'm suggesting this game thread could extend to that game for anyone who is interested.

Phillies are my second favorite team! . . . today.

[notoriousgod71]

Please get him out of the game.

Yeah, I know. It’s like having a Porsche and complaining that it doesn’t have a trailer hitch! I’m just being picky. Everyone gushes about his amazing eye for pitches; one would think that’d translate into a higher BA. But then again I can’t hit a 95mph fastball.

[notoriousgod71]

It is sad to say that even with a six run lead, Perez does not give this team a chance to win.

[wsnydes]

Please get him out of the game.

Not sure I trust the pen to hold it together for 5+ innings either.

[LVTwinsfan]

Gave up a lead yesterday, let’s not do it again

[FlauerPauer]

News flash, Rocco. Perez is still poo.

[operation mindcrime]

Martin Perez team option DECLINED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[twinssporto]

Time for a mound discussion.

[FLTwinsGuy]

Lol we really are going to blow a 6 run lead arent we?

[LVTwinsfan]

Pathetic

[wsnydes]

This just means that the bats can't go silent for the rest of the game again.

[notoriousgod71]

Seriously, Rocco, you have such a quick hook when guys are pitching well but, by God, if someone is struggling, you let them throw the same amount of pitches.

 

WIN THE GAME.

[LVTwinsfan]

Only the Twins need to be concerned about only a three run lead

[notoriousgod71]

I don't trust Perez to hold it together for 5 pitches.

[twinsnorth49]

Somebody wake Rocco up....

[tvagle]

Wish we would have just kicked the extra point in the 1st instead of going for 2

[70charger]

Big oof on this inning. It's time for the hook.
