So far, Clevinger is not fooling many hitters.

So far, Clevinger is not fooling many hitters.

He's certainly not making a very good case for being let back on the big league team so far. Is this a bit of karma from the baseball gods?

[twinbythebay]

The Twins are doing their damnedest to bail out Clevinger on the basepaths... Are they shooting for one TOOTBLAN per inning?

[Mauerpower]

Clevinger is hard to watch. Looks like he’s trying to cup his balls as he bends over.

[Darius]

Sano’s season OPS is nearing .950.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Kepler has been taken out due to a fouling a ball off his foot.

 

Cave gets to play now.

 

Hope Kepler is okay for future games...

Hes about the ugliest b!tch I’ve ever seen

oh no. He’s the only reason we have the lead

[MMMordabito]

The Brewers just cancelled their game tonight

... and predictably the team from Seattle.

Geez, Dick. I know you're just watching a screen like the rest of us, but you say "popped up" and the ball is caught on the warning track in center field. Of course a member of the opposing team hit it. Had it been a Twin there would have been a loud "deep to center field".

Thank goodness for Google.

[PDX Twin]

Is this really the major leagues? The number of base-running blunders, and now a really stupid fielding error? Wow.

[MMMordabito]

Thank goodness for Google.

Same

[Nine of twelve]

Safe.

[twinbythebay]

 

Thank goodness for Google.

It's my favorite baseball acronym, and I maintain that it should be kept as an official stat.

[PDX Twin]

Will Berrios even start a postseason game?

[Aggies7]

The one game berrios hot streak is in jeopardy

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Kepler couldn't have gotten that...

 

Uphill once more.

 

That boulder won't move itself.

[LVTwinsfan]

I step away for a few and Berrios just....oh man, he’s really not good is he

Depends on the day, I guess... Unfortunately this season, it seems like he's struggling on days that end in -y

[Channing1964]

damn i was hoping Berrios would close this out

[LVTwinsfan]

Will Berrios even start a postseason game?

I hope not

[MMMordabito]

Last start is beginning to look like a mirage

[LVTwinsfan]

Another 4 inning bullpen night

[MMMordabito]

I wonder if he's wishing he would have taken that contract extension.

[LVTwinsfan]

I wonder if the twins could trade him for a starting pitcher

Trading a guy when he's at the lowest value he will likely be is a bad way to make trades...

Sometimes it works out, ifnyou get a similar low valued player, and both can benefit from the change scenery.

 

But these days the Twins got some nice scenery...

SMH, yes teacher, “trade him for a starting pitcher“ ...sarcasm

Sarcasm upon sarcasm with a shake of SMH. Lovely.
