Braves (Pérez) vs Twins (Ober): 08/17/26, 6:40 PM

[Twindy]

The bullpen will be taxed tonight. Bailey is averaging over 20 pitches an inning. He’ll be lucky to go five unless that changes.

[S Bart]

I am a bit surprised that LITTLE YAZ is still playing at 35.

[S Bart]

OKay...Shelton,,,if or when Ober starts to get a bit rocky,,,pretty please pull him..

[Vanimal46]

Not gonna lie when I looked up Martin Perez on baseball reference I fully expected to see a 5+ ERA. How is he a sub 3 ERA pitcher now?

[S Bart]

What about admitting that I left the pitcher in the game too long

I didn’t say anything in the chats, but that last series was lost by Shelton. All three nights they should have pulled the pitcher earlier than they did.

Runs on the board in first inning and then crickets... Feels like I have seen this movie before

Gotta be very frustrating to not will the team over .500 for more than a day.

Last 2 innings Ober has really located his pitches well. Paint the corners and throwing out of the zone making them chase with 2 strikes, something you can overcome with lack of velocity.

His 84mph middle middle just aren’t going to work forever against the Braves offense…….

[RpR]

Dr. Pepper may have been figured out by opposing pitcher, how fast he recalculates will be interesting.

[Twindy]

I can’t find it on Twins daily right now Shelton‘s interview after the game yesterday really ticked me off. He admitted he was frustrated but in regards to Kramer he said that he was just fine out there and that the Phillies just got to him.

Where is my angry react?! The Phillies didn’t get to him! He started looking sloppy and Shelty did nothing!

[S Bart]

Time for a Twins HR

Watkins got a haircut!!

[Church of Kreidler]

Like, I don’t care if the pitcher qualifies for a win - I care if the team wins!

[AceBee]

There it goes...ball game 

[MMMordabito]

Well that fell apart quickly.
