Is this whisler the real deal ? or a one trick Pony like that curveball guy last year, ryan ??  cant remember im 74

No.

 

Or maybe yes.

[Aggies7]

Hahaha I’ve seen enough baseball to see this is gonna be a loss

[stringer bell]

Need a K.

[stringer bell]

Got a K.

[TwinsCD]

Ummmmm, Angel?  You know why you don't get World Series assignments?  Because you make stupid balk calls like that.  

[drock2190]

This short little dude will get a hit again

[stringer bell]

I predict another bloop hit or 8 hop grounder thru the infield.

[USAFChief]

 

This short little dude will get a hit again

Astudillo? Some day, sure.

[Aggies7]

Wisler got away with a few slam me breaking balls

[TwinsCD]

Time to change things up this inning -- first guy gets out and then the runs pour in.

[drock2190]

I hope the first Twins batter gets out this inning. That 1st guy is bad luck on base.

[USAFChief]

Not a big fan of the "walk the leadoff guy and immediately balk him to second" run prevention tactic, but it worked out.

[stringer bell]

Hey! My fantasy team won.  Thanks JuJu!

We'll see how well he holds up to the pressure of MLB relief, especially that notorious White Sox crowd... There's an old lady behind home plate who keeps yelling 'Your Mother!'

 

At least she's wearing a mask.

"old?"

[LaBombo]

 

"old?"

 

"Older"

 

The 'er' got lost in the excitement of Wisler's scoreless inning...

Hey, I got JuJu too! Unfortunately he couldn't put me over the top. My opponent got the most points in the league this week, so I'm out of luck even though I had the third highest total. 

 

Here's hoping JuJu gets a whole lot more big games.

Pop quiz: which MLB pitcher managed to walk Byron Buxton in 2020?

You don't see it much in U.S. baseball, but it's still pretty big in Japan.

I think he's a guy having a pretty good season. Amiright?

[USAFChief]

WHoops.

[Diesel]

Jake Cave is doing his best Eddie Rosario imitation

ERA over 17. I wouldn't call that good, but admitadly I'm a fan of older statistical measures.

 

His walk of Buxton came in his second to last MLB appearance this year.

[USAFChief]

That's a swing, ferpetesakes.

Maybe my Cave-Man made a bad move.

[Diesel]

The best umpire is behind the plate, you know there's going to be GREAT calls with him behind the plate

 

[LaBombo]

Encarnacion's bat is where Twins wins go to die.

[USAFChief]

 

Maybe my Cave-Man made a bad move.

 

I am simple cave man outfielder. I am frightened by your line drives and modern "errors"
