What about Grant Balfour?  After leaving the Twins, he overcame that unfortunate name to become a pretty good pitcher fur several years. 

I mean, did he have that cosmetic surgery for his nose? 

(For real. Apparently he'd talk about nose jobs in the bullpen)

[Patzky]

Can't always have great starts

[Peter]

Way way way too many pitches!!! Festa isnt ready yet for mlb

Do we know what happened to Buxton and Correa? 🙃 

It's the 1st inning 

[CRF]

OUCH! Not the kind of start we wanted. Still plenty of time to come back. 

[Parfigliano]

Now we get to see if Festa has some Zebby and can hold the A's at 4 for 5-6 more innings.

[Blyleven2011]

Well it's a Matthew's start again , 4 runs in first a couple of starts ago ...

Festa won't probably be able to duplicate 7 innings though , 33 pitches in first inning  ...

[mrtwinsfan]

Festa -hopefully does what Zebby did couple starts ago ,  wasent that also 4-0 ?after 1-inning  and we won that game

You may be correct but it is worth remembering that many people did not think Matthews was ready and that Lopez was merely a mid or back end rotation arm.

Patience. That and a favorable strike zone.

You're really going to blame Festa when every close pitch he threw was called a ball? I think the maybe the plate umpire needs to go back to AAA. Be interesting to see if he squeezes the A's pitcher today...

??????

[HarmonK03]

Festa got squeezed, that was strike 3 on Wilson.  He would have been out of the inning with one run only.  He can't let it affect him, but it's a tight strike zone.

And A's pitching

[cheeseheadgophfan]

Three blown strike calls by the home plate ump in the inning.....including a missed strike 3 call.   Festa should have been out of that inning....

This is why abs will happen next year!!!  

[Twodogs]

Nice bunt.  Looks like a line drive in the box score!

[mrtwinsfan]

Lee   looks lost  sometimes ,   1st pitch   again why ????????

[Blyleven2011]

Wonder who called the bunt , Clemens or Rocco  , be interesting to know , a very good bunt and good hustle for Clemens  ...

The bunt hit was the twins first hit of the game ...

[LA Vikes Fan]

Wow, Lee just does not look good at the plate. I thought it was just a problem right handed but he isn't hitting much with any authority left handed either. This is starting to look like last year where he started ok and just faded out to being unplayable.

I kind of like the challenge idea.  Then you can pick and choose when to use it.

[Patzky]

Jays exploding for 8 against Lazardo. Eek use them up today y'all
