Athletics (Basso) Vs Twins (Rojas/Bullpen) 7/25/26 6:10pm CDT

[Mortimerkenny21]

Ok, last night was bad, ugly, pretty pathetic actually. How about the Twins putting a dozen a runs and make it look easy! Is Paredes our TBD tonight? Go Twins!!

I guess me doing other things didn't go so well yesterday.

I hope we win!

Heck yeah, good for you man. Hope they get a win to make your night enjoyable!

I think Prieliepp is being activated to start tonight.

Got news, the A's put out a Facebook ad and found another lefty to start tonight. Brady Basso (0-0 6.48 era) takes the mound.  Someone said they should just find anyone with a left arm to pitch against the Twins. They did just that. Trying to scare Larnach right out of that lineup ..

Adams has done well of late but he has options..

I wouldn't be surprised if they send Rojas down again. His role isn't really defined and he hasn't been effective lately.

Might be, Id hate for someone to get hurt and we need him right away again. I guess Paredes could spot start.

Agree. I wonder who they will send down when they activate Sands. I was thinking it would probably be Adams, but he actually has looked really good his last 3-4 outings.

I hope you are able to take a snapshot of that cheeky TBD fellow.  He's more elusive than Bigfoot.

Another LHP. If I were playing the Twins I’d  I’d call up all my lefties too.

Paredes starting tonight.

Ryan is dealing with arm fatigue, hence why Prielipp tomorrow now.

[lecroy24fan]

Very happy to see Larnach in vs a LHP and not hitting ninth. Since righties can't hit LHP might as well try lefties that have in recent memory.

Vanimal and others,

last night I said I would find out the odds on the Vikings to win the Super Bowl, I'll post it at the bottom. Also Grand Falls Casino and golf course is close to Sioux Falls, not Sioux City like I said it was. Not all who wander are lost, just misremember where they are at.

Turning towards August, this is when he tends to wear out.  The last 2 years I’ve said I would gibe him 2-3 weeks off around all stars then get him going. 
 

Also I’m not one to be racist but our reliever that we picked up and sent to AAA and got caught with an illegal substance in his glove has lived up to his name. I would be fine with the team letting him GO.

Vikings are below the Jacksonville Jaguars? Damn the disrespect

Yeah, not a good look for the new guy. 

[USAFChief]

Got one!

 

Note: It’s an actual jersey, complete with stitched on lettering. I'm impressed. Stood in line from 2:45. Worth it.

Also, does this mean the Denard Span shirsey is getting raised in the rafters for a proper retirement?

Good article on gleeman.com about Ryan’s 2nd half woes:

For his career, Joe Ryan has a 3.17 ERA in the first half and a 4.93 ERA in the second half for the largest post-break dropoff by any starter in Twins history.

55% higher ERA in the 2nd half per the Gleeman and the Geek. No Twins pitcher in their history has that significant of a difference between the 1st and 2nd half of a season.

Hope he's effective for four innings, I'm more worried another floundering batting effort is forthcoming.

just hope to not see a grounded ball to Jacob Wilson tonight. Last night was a total snooze fest
