[Aggies7]

Poor grienke. Appears to be toast 

[PDX Twin]

For his salary, I'd be OK being toasted.

Yeah, his ERA after tonight stands at 6.10.

[RickOShea]

Greinke will be ok, when he retires.  He can hustle golf in Phoenix.

[lecroy24fan]

And Mahle is done for the night.

[h2oface]

66 pitches and Mahle is done.

Think the Royals are showing him for what he did early in his career,  a  Swany song year

[Nine of twelve]

Wonder if Greinke'll even last the season in KC. Come August they may want to give a youngster a look-see. If they have one worth evaluating, anyway.

[USAFChief]

Can't be good news on Mahle. 20/20 hindsight, but that trade looks pretty bad.

You guys might get both Ober and Varland...

[stringer bell]

Mahle out. I guess the Varland/Ober discussion might be moot.

[Mortimerkenny21]

How Buck got his grove back...3 run dinger!

[jkcarew]

Broadcasts saying anything regarding Mahle leaving?

[RickOShea]

I hope Mahle didn't mistake super glue for resin on his pitching hand.

[stringer bell]

Rotation health was too good to last.

[mrtwinsfan]

7-1   lead   Mahle not given a chance for a win  Heart attack -- Stroke ,  Weird ?   hope he is ok

[USAFChief]

Supper time. Homemade sausage, pepperoni and red pepper pizza, big glass of cold milk.

 

I am a damn fine cook.

 

And an even better eater.

[USAFChief]

Too much pitching to "now what" in 30 hours.

[Nine of twelve]

Either the strike zone box on TV is way off or this ump has an incorrect idea of the zone. Guess which one I think is the case.

Larnach seem a bit to picky to anyone ?

The pitch to Larnach was a strike according to Baseball Savant...

 

[BsuNemo]

Just hopping on now... See the Mahle out after 4 talk. Was he struggling or is it a flashback to last year Rocco?

I think he was peeved by an earlier strike call.

Pretty sure there's a medical issue. Velocity started in the upper 80s, got it up as high as 94, but not consistently.

[RickOShea]

Do the Twins ever have a "White Castle Night"?

No "sliders" for the Twins...

Man, it feels like he's a true #2 when he's healthy but if this is more arm issues or fatigue or whatever you want to call it, it feels like there's something not right structurally. Too bad but... I think Ober and Varland can give us what Mahle gives us. Too bad we gave up so much for him. Really hoping Gray signs for 4 years after this year but the Yankees broadcasters said something along the lines of he wants out and to a bigger market...
