Guardians (Messick) vs Twins (Lopez): 9/19/20, 7:10pm

[UpstateNewYorker]

Messick reminds me of Mark Buehrle.  Lefty, works quickly, and the Twins can't hit him.

Pablo is a camera Ham,  best thing is this is the last time to look at these Pajamas there wearing

Well, it is Cy Messick out there 

We will be seeing a lot more of him. We will have a say in his Cydom.

And the TC are very accommodating in letting him work at his preferred pace.  Hate to step out of box or call time.  Who am I kidding they are probably blissfully unaware of such tactics.

[Permanent Twins Fan]

I added Parker Messick in my Fantasy League this morning which is turning out to be a great move.

Look at the optimist.  Thinks TC will score.

[mrtwinsfan]

nice catch by outman,    Wallner usually  always let those hit the wall

You're right, we don't have Wallner around to hit a meaningless HR in the 9th.

[Patzky]

Royce has picked up speed in Sept. Hope it's a good sign and can translate into good things next spring.

[Permanent Twins Fan]

Is it a MLB gameday error or was ball one to Kody middle middle?

yes

[LakesPibble]

Good to see Royce beating out infield singles.  That's why we've all been so excited about him after all.

Pro tip:  the last 3 numbers should generally increase from left to right.



I'm old and crabby but I can't get excited about him as anything but an average starter at this point, which on this team is actually pretty good.

Why pull Pablo?

Sounds like an injury of some sort

[Permanent Twins Fan]

Pablo out after 61 pitches?

[jkcarew]

Messick was taken 6 picks after Prielipp in the 2022 draft.

Probably re-injured

traded right-handed pitcher Shane Bieber to the Toronto Blue Jays for right-handed pitching prospect Khal Stephen and traded reliever Paul Sewald to the Detroit Tigers for a player to be named later or cash considerations. The team also claimed right-handed pitcher Carlos Hernandez off waivers from the Detroit Tigers

Probably residual Falvey pitching pipeline vibes lingering in the CLE building

Those are understandable moves in my opinion, trading old guys on 1 yr contracts (I assume 1 year). Imagine if they had flushed their whole bullpen! 

[UpstateNewYorker]

Pretty good AB (plate appearance) by Outman. Most of the lineup is swinging like they are chopping wood. 

[Patzky]

Finally getting decent pitching and .. 

[Patzky]

Hope Pablo is ok, but hey just let him rest..

[David HK]

What's the C/Kody quota?  Do we have enough, or should we explore a trade for Bellinger? 🤔

[Patzky]

It's such a shock to get some decent relief pitching. We had some good bullpen work again NY too.

We have all the major league baseball Kodys in existence, and that is more than I can take as it is.
