I guess I was still correct?

I guess you could have said he'll have 2 runs allowed by Thursday.

[Jocko87]

Ober coulda done that.

[Azviking101]

Ober was rolling, nothing hit hard for 3 innings. Floro is terrible. What are we even doing anymore? We literally acquired him for Jorge Lopez smh 

[BH67]

Tigers win. Guardians just beat the Dodgers 8-3. And now, the Florocarbons.

[USAFChief]

Floro. Great trade.

Here hoping, probably more that the heart of the order was coming up.

I took it to mean that he would ALSO give up 2 runs in the 6th.

Either way, you were being optimistic at the time.

The judges give it to you.

If they’re trying to manage his innings he shouldn’t be pitching. You can’t operate a team trying to make the playoffs with a starter who’s pitch limit is 75 pitches  

[mrtwinsfan]

Didnt Bail;ey throw  innings 4th   5th  looked like   no stress  at what 80 pitchs,   Along with your crazy lineups,  Rocco, ??  Geez

Kind of what I was saying before. Apparently the Twins are playing the LONG (emphasis) game by managing his innings when nobody knows what ober will do down the road. Now it’s archer/bundy revisited for the time being. Been there done that

I don't disagree with that point.  It's just my guess on why he was pulled. 

[OvertheHill]

I’ve noticed that Floro doesn’t really get a lot of guys out…..

BOOOOO!

[USAFChief]

Floro happens.

This times a billion 

[pierre75275]

Not because of the result but more because of the close game and extra innings possible maybe have been better to leave Ober in, and save the bullpen for an Xtra inning.

Not to mention Ober was really dialed in

[Aggies7]

Trading lopez for floro was like trading a ‘97 tercel for a ‘98 geo metro

I can't agree with this.

 

[Jocko87]

Oh no.

[IndyTwinsFan]

This is going downhill fast.
