Tigers (Montero) vs Twins (Festa): 7/3/24, 7:10pm

Lee's first hit did not look like a fluke. He's got a good eye and a good swing. 

[Patzky]

Ick. He gets two strikes but cant finish anyone.

[USAFChief]

Yeah....Festa isn't ready for prime time.

[Aggies7]

Doesn’t seem to be that much better than paddack though, either

Looks like he needs to sit and festa some more in AAA, work on some things

I'm worried that the lack of strike outs in the first start was telling (rather than it being because of a blowout)

I definitely didn't say that as a compliment earlier.

[Vanimal46]

Whelp. 

[jimbo92107]

Festa's gotta learn to cut his fastball left and right. His secondaries aren't good enough to get by without a third weapon. 

[MN Brian]

Can someone explain the back of Bucks neck?  

[h2oface]

Top pitching prospect, eh? Yikes.

He watched three balls go by without lifting his bat the frst time, and he hit a ball the second time, what he gets paid to do for heavens sake.

[Shaitan]

It seems like the hits all come in batches though. That may be fixable.

[IndyTwinsFan]

OK, I think I've seen about as much of this as I care to for tonight.

That's where they plug him in every night after the game to recharge him. 

[Shaitan]

Is he worse pitching with runners on?

Straight from the horses mouth. One day Paddack will get out of the paddock, and earn some respect...... I hope.

It’s a new, innovative patch for in-game muscle therapy. Byron’s neck was sore from snapping around to track all the missiles the young pitcher has given up tonight

[Guest]

Pretty disappointing two starts for the young pitcher. Hope he figures something out somewhere.

Haha I always do that, I had a high school teacher named PaddOck

Pablo and Ober both had that issue earlier this year. Concentration problems as much as raw stuff?

[RpR]

Right now Montero's ERA is lower than Festa's so maybe Montero is not as bad as some say or Twins do poorly against lessor pitchers than against top line pitchers.

In honor of the hot dog eating competition tomorrow… What’s the food that you think you’d do well eating in a competition?

Shrimp. I could eat a million. 

[Patzky]

Willi has to be getting pissed.

[CRF]

I think the turkey being served for tonight's Festa-val, needs a little more seasoning. 

[BiggestRoccoFan]

We clearly need a starting pitcher.

[Vanimal46]

Look on the bright side, this is Caleb Thielbar’s Super Bowl. Let him cook for 40 pitches

Wings.

[TwinsCD]

Tough to get closer to the grease fire that is the Tigers bullpen if you're only seeing 6 pitches from the starter on the 3rd time thru the order.

We talking jumbos from a shrimp cocktail app or the tiny shrimp?
