GAMES THREAD 8/15/2020: Minnesota Twins vs. Kansas City Royals 12:35 CDT

[USAFChief]

Someone give Sano a bat without a hole in it.

Beaten by FBs, in the zone, from a LHer.

 

Three of em.

 

I am disappoint.

[USAFChief]

now THAT was a H&R

[bighat]

Is Berrios working more slowly this year or does it just feel like it?

[Nine of twelve]

*Sigh*

[USAFChief]

hey, didn't you use to be Jose Berrios?

[bighat]

 

 

Beaten by FBs, in the zone, from a LHer.

Three of em.

I am disappoint.

Not even that "fast", either.

 

93 right down the middle.

[Mill1634]

Berrios with the same old, same old. Not good

[stringer bell]

Berríos needs to figure out August.

[bighat]

Berrios' curveball is working and he seems to be able to locate it.

 

What's the problem? His fastball location?

[blindeke]

 

Berrios' curveball is working and he seems to be able to locate it.

 

What's the problem? His fastball location?

 

Yes. Down the middle, most of the time.

Wealll...

 

If the running comes first... wouldn't calling it a run and hit be more accurate?

[h2oface]

ump wanted to call that a ball, too, but the batter swung at it.

[PDX Twin]

Does it seem to anyone else that Berrios is just making it hard for himself? It seems like he is trying to make the perfect pitch every time instead of just reaching back and flinging it and letting his natural talent and stuff take care of it.

[h2oface]

 

Yes. Down the middle, most of the time.

 

Or, as Beamer calls it..... the outside edge.

[USAFChief]

Pitch #50 coming up.

[LVTwinsfan]

None of the Twins starters struggle like Berrios does

[Nine of twelve]

That works.

[bighat]

That's one way to get the 3rd out! Nice.

[70charger]

Royals should have challenged that. Heel of his hand pretty clearly hit the bag.

[USAFChief]

most accurate pitch of the day went to 2nd base.

 

And just in time.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Still in the game after all that.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Alright, our turn for a long inning!

[USAFChief]

Marwin was convinced they got him.

[Danchat]

Not sure I'd want Berrios to go out and pitch the 3rd. He needs to figure himself out, else he might not be good enough to be in this rotation once everyone is healthy.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

 

Alright, our turn for a long inning!

Well, perhaps it could have been longer...

[Nine of twelve]

Those first two innings took 55 minutes. Ugh.

[h2oface]

I'm still stewing over that failure to score 2 in the first. Man, that pisses me off.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

 

Those first two innings took 55 minutes. Ugh.

So we can expect a 6.5 inning game > 3 hours?

 

Wow, that's almost Yankees Red Sox territory...

[Nine of twelve]

[USAFChief]

Those first two innings took 55 minutes. Ugh.

Seemed longer.
