If they can get out of this series with 1 win, I’ll be happy.

You should, that's generally a good outcome on the road against good teams that are playing well.

[MMMordabito]

Watching the San Diego feed, all the numbers they're throwing up make King out to be one of the best pitchers on the planet when he's at home. 

Don't tell the Twins that.

[Parfigliano]

Rut roh.  Loaded

[USAFChief]

Plouffe: "Great at bat by Martin."

Chief: "PA"

[TwinsCD]

Incredibly smart out of Martin.

[MMMordabito]

Nice deke, Austin!

Good job rook.

[USAFChief]

Need a better AB there, Willie.

Never saw a strike.

Watching this King dude pitch reminds me of a cross between the gyrations of Clevenger with the salad shooting (at a slightly higher velocity) of Jamie Moyer.

[MMMordabito]

Terrible, Lewis.

[Azviking101]

Don’t throw Royce a strike and he’ll never get a quality hit again. Seems he did quite a bit of learning from Buxton of old 

[Parfigliano]

Lewis in a K hole and I dont mean ketamine

[USAFChief]

Hey, didn't you used to be Royce Lewis?

I was thinking aj Burnett with his delivery but I'm not even sure if that's close considering how long it's been since I saw him pitch. There's someone else I'm attempting (and failing) to think of.

[Parfigliano]

So cool if whole team wore Santana's look for a game

Booooooo!!!

[USAFChief]

Why the hell wouldn't Kepler swing 3-0?

[MMMordabito]

Julien's had two good ABs in a row.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Julien is Sano, without the power numbers 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

No offense, just my opinion 🙂

[USAFChief]

I rarely complain about balls and strikes, but we're not getting the same calls. 

Off the corner to lefties in particular. 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Both these pitchers are struggling against patient lineups 

[Azviking101]

Zebby is not gonna get very far throwing just cutters and 4 seamers. Even Mariano couldn’t be a starting pitcher with the best ever.

Another self induced problem inning

[Azviking101]

16 games over .500, 3 games out from having the best record in baseball, yet it doesn’t matter because the rotation is full of rookies. 
 

If they had owners that cared this team would be the favorite to win the World Series and it wouldn’t be that close. This team as is has no chance in the postseason. 

[Aggies7]

Absolutely horrendous 0-2 pitch. It must not be taught in our system

[TwinsCD]

Zebby never walks anyone but when he does, it becomes a disaster.  I think it's easier as a hitter when you know a guy never walks anyone because you know he's going to be around the zone, even when it's an 0-2 pitch.

[MMMordabito]

Well, there goes the Zebby honeymoon.

[USAFChief]

Error, compounded by the worst 0-2 pitch you'll ever see
