You can see a little difference in strategy.  Hitters are taking more pitches from Ryan.  Making him work a little more.

The Minnesota fan in me is getting nervous listening to Morneau's praise of Ryan.

Amen, and add a hallejuah for Bremer as well.

Okay Bremar and Morneau, now that you got Joe Ryan in the hall of fame, after the inning, how about just letting the Kid pitch from hear on

How did Joe Ryan get buried in Tampa’s minor system? Kind of mind blowing. 

He went to the Olympics. Maybe they would have called him up after that (as the Twins did).

That might have been strike five to Kepler. 

If every batter looks at two extra pitches, we get to the bullpen earlier, right?

At this rate Ryan will hit nine batters in the game.

I suspect that he will only be allowed to hit one more before he gets an early shower courtesy of Mr. Porter.

Potential Unpopular Opinion Alert.

 

Byron Buxton should never attempt to steal a base again (unless the Twins need a run in a do-or-die game).  Buxton advancing 90ft is by far the least valuable thing he does, and puts him at injury risk.  I'd rather he minimize the risk of injuries as much as possible, so his bat and glove are in the lineup as much as possible.

HIs ability to steal is another threat other teams do not like, remove that, they love it.

I wouldn't go that far and I think the Twins and Buxton are pretty conservative about Buxton stealing bases. He has the raw speed to steal 100, but 20 is more reasonable.
