Phillies (Wheeler) v Twins (Woods-Richardson); 7/23 @ 6:40pm CT

Lost in all this is at least SWR did a great job

Duran taking two steps backwards this season is an unexpected development and might be the biggest reason they miss the post season.

I'm disappointed by the result of course, but SWR pitched great and the home plate ump called the strike zone better than most umps this year.

Agreed, starting pitching has come out of the break looking pretty good.

You could look it up.

/ or, I could just tell you.  Disco Demolition Night in Chicago.  Forfeit.

Technically the final score was 9-0

Pretty sure duran had everyone nervous last year and he went out and did the job in the postseason. Not sure where he is on the list of concerns but he’s not high up there for me.

5 losses on the year for him. He’s been a roller coaster.

I look at this game a little differently.  I'm disappointed with loss, but I'm encouraged by SWR.  The offense was a dumpster fire, but we were without Correa, Lewis, Miranda and Buxton on a rest day.  "If" we get everyone back our offense will be much better.  I look for better times ahead.  JMHO

[thelanges5]

Pretty good game considering Lewis,, Miranda, Correa on the IL.

Duran is a problem. Not sure if he's hurt or in his own head. But he hasn't looked right all season. Stewart and Topa become that much more important.

Hung with them while most of the better bats were injured.

I said you could look it up.  I didn't expect anyone would actually do it.

I didn't need to look that one up. For some reason that ones been stuck in my head. I always wondered why a forfeit was scored that way instead of 1-0

Topa pitched a clean inning in Fort Myers tonight.

Philly would have presented him with a bigger challenge.

Not saying he’s ready for this just saying it’s encouraging that he’s working his way back.

[cheeseheadgophfan]

The Twins are gonna struggle to score runs when their top 3 hitters are injured....take Harper, Turner and Realmuto out of the Phillies lineup and I like our chances....

[sampleSizeOfOne]

What i miss?

Wheeler twirled a gem pitching performance and the Twins don’t have the bats to beat the elite teams. 

It would help if Lewis, Correa, and Miranda were not out.
