According to Smalley, "They can really hit".

[CRF]

Just about time to switch over to Jed and all his kin...and they would like to thank you folks for kindly dropping in. 

[RickOShea]

The vindictive part of me, says let ryan go as long as possible.  I don't care if it blows up his ERA and other stats.  The young man has to learn, he's not just a fastball pitcher.

[BeantownTwinsFan]

Is Ryan tipping his pitches or something? Crazy nose dive from the guy that (I think) led MLB in xERA during the first half for a while

Im dropping out of this

[Althebum82]

Oh boy.  Moran needs to come off of the roster period so that room can be made for Keuchel to start and see if Ryan can find things out working in the bullpen.

Do not let Keuchel just walk. Ryan is broken

Keuchel opted out. Several reports say Atlanta is interested.

What's the Cardinals' record again?

I think smalley is right, when he mentions that ryan is not getting hitters to chase the high fastball.  His slider isn't getting a sharp break, either. 92-94 mph fastballs don't cut it, especially when they're within the heart of the zone.

[cHawk]

Correa was too close.

[glunn]

It seems to me that Ryan is suffering from dead arm syndrome and would benefit from skipping a couple of starts. I was hoping that Keuchel could come up and fill in.

I was going to drop in, but now, I think I'll just stay out for the rest of the game.

[mrtwinsfan]

Cleveland  rumored for Kuechal,  we still have 6 games with them, and we all know how well we hit Lefties,   

[RickOShea]

I'm sure you'd be more interested and productive in doing things around the house, like dusting chandeliers.

I thought the Twins had couple days to call up Keuchel

I know he “opted out” lol but they can still go to him. He wanted to be here for a reason.

 

[Azviking101]

Who else just wants them to lose miserably the rest of the season so we can hear that everyone has been fired?

Best overall twins pitching in decades and they’re barely mediocre. Falvey is worse than Terry.

Also his wife just tweeted that they’re still open to anything

Reason ?  try to show a contending Team he might help,   Someone will take a chance, But it wont be here,   Cleveland would be the Ultimate insult , 

[CRF]

100 pitches in the 4th...WOW. He's just lost out there.

Cleveland would also be really odd.  They were just sellers at the deadline.  Why would they sign a guy like Keuchel?

One reason might be that the Twins cannot hit lefties.

[glunn]

Hudson looks to be on track for a no hitter. 😒
