Zebby getting the ball in a start with definite playoff implications.   He really needs to bring his A game.

[Mortimerkenny21]

Which A game should he bring? Hasn't he experienced them all this year? High A, double A, AAA.

If it speeds Buck’s recovery, sure.

Yep...bring the AAAYYY! game!

[Parfigliano]

Off topic:  Luis Arraez has gone 120 straight PA without striking out.  Longest streak in 20 years.  Also hitting .318 and closing in on his 3rd straight batting title .  If he wins it will have been won for his 3rd different team.

Zebs better watch himself with the top of the Angels' order. Got to Festa early on Monday night. Could do the same to Zebs.

Zebs better check himself before he wrecks himself. Go Twins!!

The Manny experience is back, the pinch hitting record is in serious danger of being broken.

We will see if Julien and Lewis continue acquiring more strike outs.

Sucks for Helman.   Good for fans of historical PHing futility.

And he's been playing with a torn thumb ligament since June. I'm not trying to equate injuries nor diss our boys, but...  Are Buck and C4 at 70% better than some of their replacements? Maybe Rocco and the FO are working toward the last 10-12 games or so and hoping for 90% health. It sucks but patience is a virtue even when Rome is burning. At least we know Wallner seems to handle leftys.

Am I seeing this right? This Angels starter has 12 K's in 38 innings? That's incredibly awful. If this lineup chases a bunch of garbage tonight they're never going to figure it out.

Wow, looked at his statcast and it's as bad as it looks. Cannot lose this game with someone this bad on the mound.

[ziggy]

The Twins are heavy favorites even with Zebby on the mound.

 

I hope he can get through their lineup twice and we have the A squad bullpen rested and ready to go.

[cmoss84]

Wallner hitting second is interesting. But I would almost flip he and Larnach in the lineup. 

[CRF]

I'm looking for Wallner to go Thome again tonight off the kid pitching for the Halos. 

[Parfigliano]

Not the start we need so far

[exeoud]

Zebby is just straight batting practice man

[exeoud]

He doesn't even give them a chance. Team is deflated before they even get up to the plate. And they know that any runs they put up will be given right back.

[Peter]

Not a good start😡🤬😤😬

[CRF]

Zebulon might turn out to be a decent starting pitcher, but he's not ready for this level yet. 

[Peter]

Bullpen will be working overtime tonight 

[Parfigliano]

This could get ugly quick

[exeoud]

Only positive to Festa and Matthews pitching like crap is the front office can't come out of this offseason without a starting pitcher or two, I guarantee you we would have gone into next year wasting the first month or two with them in the rotation to find out what we are right now.
