Phillies v Twins; 7/24 @ 12:10pm CT

[Road trip]

Festa was playing with fire all game, but overall he showed some good stuff.  7 Ks in a little over 4 innings.  I can see why the evaluators like him... he just needs to cut down on the occasional meatballs over the heart of the plate.

Thielbars first pitch was a K to Wallner hm

Good those Ks last night weren't confidence building 

 

Remember that he didn't really hit it all that great at StP in his first rehab stint and then he came up and tore the cover off the ball for the first couple of weeks he was back.  He's said it himself that he doesn't get concerned by what he does on rehab stints and is just more about getting back to game speed.

[Patzky]

Same sitch here

[Patzky]

Same result

[Parfigliano]

Another chance.....

The clutch gene is still on summer vacation.

Oh they are definitely clutching. 

[mrtwinsfan]

Why do we never never hit and run ?

 

[Aggies7]

Just can’t expect to beat the better teams when you waste so many chances

RISP failures are a real killer. Have to find a way to get the job done.

Probably the same reason why they never bunt to move a runner along.

Phillies didn't seem to mind using their 9th place guy to bunt the runners over to get to Schwarber.

[Parfigliano]

Bunt for 2nd out to advance runners.  Thats a manager with confidence in his lineup.

[Patzky]

Ah you can't hold em down all day.

And it pays off

[Aggies7]

Sigh.

[USAFChief]

Effing Thielbar. 

 

[TwinsCD]

HEY ROCCO, THAT'S WHAT MANUFACTURING RUNS LOOKS LIKE

HEY TWINS BATTERS, THAT'S WHAT HITTING IN THE CLUTCH LOOKS LIKE

[Azviking101]

If Thielbar can’t dominate lefties anymore then he has no value. 1.000 ops to righties since the beginning of last year. 
This has to end soon 

[Patzky]

Threw.the same pitch three times. Might work on some of our guys.. not him 

[Aggies7]

We should all be so lucky to work for an employer who gives you a million opportunities to not get the job done 😂
