I did not volunteer to open this but I just happened to notice there was nothing.

Go.

[RickOShea]

Nice job of posting start time, pitching and lineups.

[stringer bell]

Thanks. I think I beat you by a minute or two, but I'll delete my short introduction and we can go from there.

Go.

Hopefully the Twins are as on top of things as you are!

[shortround81]

Miguel Sano . . . should be on another team

[RickOShea]

Rich Reese would have snagged that one!

[RickOShea]

Oh well.

[wsnydes]

This is going well!

[notoriousgod71]

Our ace next year if Berrios is traded.

I thought that was Dobnak?

[RickOShea]

Ober may be better served to pitch inside a bit more.  These hitters are too relaxed and just slapping at the ball.  buzz their towers once in a while.

Same thing.

[wsnydes]

Effective mound visit.

Ober vs CHW (3+ starts): 13.1 IP, 11 ER

Ober vs others (5 starts): 20.2 IP, 11 ER

I think Ober has seen enough of the Sox this year!

Yeah, it's time for him to change his Sox.

That's certainly a disproportionate amount of starts against one team.  Especially one that lights you up!

[wsnydes]

Atta boy, Max!

[Brock Beauchamp]

Huh, and I was just going to post something about how frustrating Kepler is to watch. 

[wsnydes]

Sano gets no atta boy...

I wouldn't mind if you repeated that next time up...

[RickOShea]

Garver had his hot streak last night.

[shortround81]

Ohhhh no!

[h2oface]

Delmon Young in left field......

And scored a triple. Yup. A single and two base error scored a triple.

[Danchat]

Fun fact: in his career against the Twins, Jose Abreu has hit 29 2Bs, 3 3Bs, and 24 HRs, resulting in a .290/.356/.504 (.860 OPS) line. However, this is exactly in line with his career .291 BA and .865 OPS, so you can't say he hits better vs the Twins.

[RickOShea]

happy b-day, Tony

 

[wsnydes]

I take it that @Brock Beauchamp didn't get around to almost posting something about how frustrating Kepler is to watch?

If that throw home was anywhere close to home plate Sano would have been out by a mile. Dude’s hauling a couple of trailers behind him.
