Game Thread 8/19: Milwaukee Brewers (10-11) @ Minnesota Twins (16-8) 7:10pmCT

[Danchat]

Thorpe is not good!

[bighat]

Welp, Brewers are taking the Twins to the shed here.

[MMMordabito]

Thorpe will need to just wear one here. No point in burning the pen.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Buxton just can't jump that high yet...

[bighat]

 

 

Thorpe is not good!

Correct!

 

Time to make a move. We've got a taxi squad and a bunch of dudes in St. Paul who can pitch, and they're there for a reason.

[LVTwinsfan]

That’s his three batters why is he still pitching

[Mill1634]

Keston's base running is something

[LVTwinsfan]

That time he shouldn’t have run

[jun]

Thorpe throws 88 MPH fastball and he can't even locate. I don't care how young he is. He needs to go away. He might not belong in the major.

[Aggies7]

This is a beat down

[jkcarew]

Completely broken. Not even able to eat innings in a blowout, it appears. I know we carry about 36 pitchers these days, but don't see how Thorpe can be one of them. He has absolutely nothing. What happened?

 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

er 8-1?

[LVTwinsfan]

So the Twins are giving up on this game before it’s half over, me too

[70charger]

Something ain't right with Lewis Thorpe. He's not this bad.

 

Yes, he wasn't a finished product or anything, and he could have used some more minor league seasoning if that were a thing this year, but he's just not this bad. 

 

Is he injured?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Mama said there'd be games like this.

[ScrapTheNickname]

 

Umps are getting worse every year

No, they're not actually. Technology has just gotten absurdly accurate.

[jkcarew]

He needs to walk two more batters to get us out of the inning. I don't see any other way.

[Mill1634]

Welp. I'm gonna head out and watch something enjoyable with the lady after this one is turning sideways. 

 

Until tomorrow,

 

Go Twins

I don’t know if he’s injured, but he’s hurting my eyes

[BeatTheRich]

Sure glad we won last night's game.

[Diesel]

Personally haven't ever been impressed by Thorpe.... not enough on the fastball and his offspeed isn’t good enough. Maybe we can see Duran now?

[MMMordabito]

28 pitches to get one out ... Wow

[Danchat]

Well, at least we know we shouldn't be seeing Thorpe back in the majors for a while, unless he gets the Belisle treatment. Yet another top 10 pitching prospect imploding, which is sadly the fate of almost every Terry Ryan pitching prospect.

[70charger]

[blindeke]

Who else we got over in St. Paul that can pitch some?

[Danchat]

4 hits, 3 walks, only 2 outs (runner caught stealing)... that's pretty bad.

[MMMordabito]

Thielbar has to be smiling underneath knowing that he'll get to keep living the dream for awhile.

[Danchat]

Perhaps they will start the clock on Duran or Colina, possibly Poppen/Gearrin again/Sam Clay?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Until tomorrow,

 

Go Twins

Thanks for the company!

 

Catch ya on the flip side...

 

I kinda assume this is the b side, but it is hard to know..
