Would rather have Varland start out of the pen then watch David Festa start anymore games for the Twins. Festa is cannon fodder. 

This was predictable.   SWR is the better choice and hopefully a swap is coming for the next time through the rotation

[Blyleven2011]

Can you believe that , acala couldn't stop the bleeding , I think they should amputate his arm  ...

[Patzky]

They are gonna get 20 today

They can bring him up for long relief or switch Festa over there.

I meant as an opener. Varland good bullpen arm. I would prefer trying SWR again then seeing Festa pitch. Festa doesn't have the mental capacity to be a big league starter.

1961...18-2...worse last in Twins history...hopefully they will not reach that total

[Blyleven2011]

I wanted langalier back when he was drafted , Atlanta picked before us in the first round and got him ...

Missed him by that much 🤏 !!!

[thelanges5]

26 pitches to get 1 out. 🤢🤮

[jaimedude]

I would take a flyer on Jorge Lopez, assuming you could iron out his physiological and psychological issues. Festa is a washout. 

[Peter]

Festa pitched his last game as a twin-without Pablo we are done 😭

[S Bart]

Anybody see the records for Pagan and Mahle lately?

[Chris Hove]

We could talk about how the Braves were up 10-4 in the 9th and the D-backs put up 7 runs to beat them 11-10 haha.

Come on now , this is Festa worst start of this year  , he's had 3 better starts when Pablo was injured earlier this season  ...

He's still learning at this level and just need patience ...

Jorge......uugghh

Single, walk, homer, double before he could record a single out. Tell me more about Alcala's "stuff."

 

[Patzky]

How can you get called out on strikes when you're down 11-1.

This is satire right?

[jaimedude]

Even Dobnak would be better than trying Festa again.

Nope, He is bum. I would take a flyer on Randy Dobnak again or SWR.

Ehh if you're down on Festa's outing you can't be upbeat about Alcala's.

[RpR]

We're gonna win Athletics, we're gonna score! We're gonna win Athletics, watch that baseball soar! Knock out a homerun, shout a hip-hooray! Cheer for the West Sacramento Athletics today!

Don't even go there , is pagan still closing for Cincinnati  ???

[The Great Hambino]

I guess the fourth blowout in four days is the appropriate time to bust out the elf material for the broadcast team.  

[thelanges5]

OK, so the pitching has been bad. I am more mad about the offense sputtering against 5 ERA Mitch Spence. Wake up you nincompoops!

[Craig Arko]

If Provus is Elrond Audra must be Galadriel.
