[Mill1634]

Buxton has swung through 6 pitches tonight

[stringer bell]

2020 version of a big inning.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

its been a struggle pretty consistently the whole way.

That which does not kill you...

 

Makes you bitter?

 

And jaded?

 

Pretty much the same as bitter, but more green.

[Mill1634]

[stringer bell]

Dick is going to jinx Maeda.

Dick is going to jinx Maeda.

He jinxed him before he threw a pitch

[USAFChief]

Buxton has swung through 6 pitches tonight

that last AB was ugly

[LVTwinsfan]

Please Rocco, let him pitch the 7th

[stringer bell]

Am I a hypocrite for defending Rocco for pulling Dobnak, but want him to send out Maeda for (at least) the seventh.

nope

[LVTwinsfan]

Season tickets? yeah that’s gonna be a hard sell Dick

[stringer bell]

First LOB in the game.

[LVTwinsfan]

Turn two

[Mill1634]

And now we are in trouble...

[LVTwinsfan]

Dang, doesn’t Maeda deserve some run support? How many of these games is the offense gonna just disrespect him like this

[Mill1634]

Lineup has given Maeda 3 runs of run support in his 2 starts against Detroit. 

[LVTwinsfan]

Pfft

[operation mindcrime]

Solid!

[stringer bell]

Clippard regressing to the mean. ugh!

[LVTwinsfan]

Let’s just go ahead and make sure this game ends here

[LVTwinsfan]

Losers!

[Mill1634]

This one is getting away, quickly. Have to keep this one 3 runs or under

[Aggies7]

This looks like it’s on the Bullpen but the offense is an embarrassment and has been all season.

[stringer bell]

Maeda's WHIP for tonight--0.50, ERA 4.50.

[ashbury]

Maeda's WHIP for tonight--0.50, ERA 4.50.

Don't worry, his FIP should be unaffected.

[stringer bell]

 

Maeda's WHIP for tonight--0.50, ERA 4.50.

Clippard's WHIP tonight--3.00 ERA 0.00

[USAFChief]

Thats why you don't send Maeda out there to face the top of the order third time through.

Clippard's WHIP tonight--3.00 ERA 0.00

It might be better to let Maeda finish his inning.

[curt1965]

Another solid pitching effort wasted. The Twins hitting is horrendous. Every hitter except Polanco looking to hit homers-damn bomba infatuation! With Kepler hurt, why don’t they try someone who has always hit- Kirillof? But what do I know? I’m just a fan!

who do you send, Clippard? Yeah he was great
