If you want to get paid like an ace you better start pitching like an ace.

Berrios isn’t an ace. I’m starting to wonder if he’ll ever be a good #2, which is really unfortunate. He has spent close to half a decade teetering between his potential and third starter.

All in all, not a bad player to have but less than we expected.

Oooof-da

[wsnydes]

Excellent start to the inning...

 

/S

[Mill1634]

Berrios looks horrible

[stringer bell]

Stashak, Thielbar and the rest will probably all get some work tonight. Berrios is not likely to go more than five innings.

[D. Hocking]

Hopefully when Berrios pitches against Baltimore in the play-offs he will be sharper.

So...we're going to go to Hose B soon.

 

This is funny but you gotta think. 

[Aggies7]

So the whole “sell anyone of value” thing only works if people have value.

Winner.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Awful start by Berrios. And I have to come to his defense here. He's the best Twins pitcher since Johan, right? Unless you want to count individual seasons, then we can talk about Phil Hughes and stuff. 

Losing breeds losing, and there's lots of it been going around this clubhouse. 

Hey, I'd be more than happy to see him pitching better, just like you, or trade his ass and let him pitch for another team, where he's given a chance to perform and maybe actually win something.

[Aggies7]

Berrios missing spots by a good 18”

Is this something where you've got to be "sitting in a chair sideways drunk" to understand?

GleemanGeek summed Berrios up perfectly on Sunday. Berrios is no better now than when he was 23 and he's about to hit 30. As fans, we have expectations, but sometimes you have to give up the ghost

[mnfireman]

Reading through the comments, I see this episode is just as interesting as the previous ones

He turns 27 years old in a couple of days so “about to hit 30” is a bit of a stretch. But the general sentiment of that feels accurate.

Doesn't fruit go bad when you leave it laying out that long?

I was not "sitting in a chair sideways drunk."

I was "laying on my side in the aisle drunk."

Who needs Byron Buxton when you can pick up Refsnyder off the streets?

He turns 27 in two days, so I wouldn't call that about to hit 30.

But yeah, another disappointing outing from him so far. Orioles are getting some really sharp hits off him. Not good when Shoemaker did a better job yesterday.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Where would this team be without Refsnyder and Garlick*?

*never thought I’d say that

The one with chihuahua perhaps a while back.

 

Not sure if i've noticed many since.

Oh, well in that case you'll need to sit up straight in order to adhere to fire code, not for better viewing.

[Squirrel]

I was just going to comment that Refsnyder is certainly making the most of his opportunity here

We've been over this, and over this, HBD.

 

You can't say //rhymes with Jill Cruse// on Twins Daily!!
