Looked like lee tagged him ,  ??

[Peter]

No more walks-that’s going to cost us game 

[mrtwinsfan]

Better hit the ball around fellas ,  Rays are gonna

SWR has been so important this year but he's pitching way above his head and very replaceable going into next year. You can't have a guy 0-2 with 2 outs bases empty and give up 2 runs.

It's amazing how quickly they become discombobulated

SWR seems to be pretty calm and collected but he just doesn't have the stuff to be successful long term.

[Patzky]

Cmon Willi make walks haunt.

[mrtwinsfan]

The Farmers Dog ---  on the mound   ????   anyone 

[Patzky]

Nope. :(

[Patzky]

Weak strike call ump

[Patzky]

The Trev Train!

[Mortimerkenny21]

 Larnach!

[Tlaker]

I wonder how many missed at bats for Larnach…..sad. The guy is a stud that has been denied so many opportunities 

[mrtwinsfan]

Miranda,   Tennis  anyone 

[Patzky]

Miranda looks like the hitting streak guy tonight.

[exeoud]

Littell's pitch count is way up, getting into the bullpen early is huge for a 4 game series

[Patzky]

Littell has to be gassed at this point.

[Mortimerkenny21]

C'mon Royce!

[Patzky]

Settle down ice cream

[mrtwinsfan]

Provus,  love your work,   but gotta switch and try Rays guys,   Span shouldnt be in a booth w/o a 3rd guy

[Parfigliano]

This place isnt as bad inside as it looks on TV

? You can't be serious. He has an ERA under 4, and he's just not good?

He is outperforming his expected ERA, expected batting average, below average in whiff/K%, which is fine if you have good command but he is only 53rd percentile in walk rate.

He's a 23 yo rookie....but sure.

Sure, he can get better. But he was faded off the prospect radar coming into this year and his production has been completely unexpected, so given that and the statcast metrics some skepticism is warranted.

How am I a troll? If I'm a pitcher and every ball is hit 110 mph right into a fielder's glove, but I have a 0 ERA, I must be good right? That's not how this works.
