Game Thread: Twins (Ober) @ Jays (Manoah), 5/12 @ 12:37pm CT

[Squirrel]

C’mon, Twins! Do better today!

Happy Mothers’ Day to any and all!

 

[Craig Arko]

Hope Ober goes at least 7.

[Parfigliano]

Went to game Friday skipped Saturday.  Going today so I expect good things.

And if they don’t come you will face ridicule and blame! So make sure they win! 🙂

Almost necessary. Could put in Paddack as emergency bullpen with the day off tomorrow but that would be emergency use only.

Todays view #1

[chinmusic]

Yeah, roof will be closed.

As you can see from Parfigliano's pic, it's overcast here in To. and 15C (59F)

I think it'll be another high scoring game.

Yesterday could be viewed as a reality check.

16-2 going in, and off to a 7-1 lead, knocking out a good pitcher after 3.

Wow, what a buzz saw! How could you not think that?

Probably applies to at least some of the players too.

So maybe yesterday's gut punch will be helpful in the long run., because as we all know, baseball can be very humbling.

Thanks!  I'm really surprised.

Well, I hope your presence brings a Twins victory, and series win!

TOR isn't chasing Ober at all. A lot of pitches.

I'd be shocked if Paddack pitches today.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Ober somehow has to get through 6. 

[USAFChief]

That is such a fricking awful AB from Kirilloff.

Does his slump coincide with playing more LF?

[9moons27]

Kirillof has turned into a huge disappointment. He's done nothing so far in his career. You read about people talking about his great swing. What? He looks like he's bailing out on every swing.  He's gone after this year.

[USAFChief]

Return of the ass bats.

Injuries have been the biggest culprit, IMHO. 

[Doctor Gast]

Ober needs to have his ball start outside & sneak in the zone.

Dunno. 

I'm not making any overarching judgements. Was just a terrible AB. Four pitch walk to the guy ahead of you. Ball one to Kirilloff. Wild swing and miss at what should have been ball 2. Way out in front of a change for a routine DP ball. Just zero idea at the plate.

[Aggies7]

lol this bum staring down Julien, relax big guy

[brooklynegg]

The MLB Twins May 12 game page shows the words Watch Free. Any ideas what this means? It is not a hyperlink to anything. 

[Aggies7]

lot of quick, poor at bats 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

This is the offense from April.

Yup

[Doctor Gast]

Crap Ober's 1st hit given up. 4 innings, 6 SOs 0 BB. Good game Ober 

[Aggies7]

Ober is doing what the kids call “shoving”

[Doctor Gast]

OK Twins let's get to Manoah!

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

When Ober is locked in, he's really good.
