I believe Meyer is pitching for GCL today too.

[Chance]

I believe Meyer is good to go. 3 innings so far 1 hit 7/0 K/BB.

[PseudoSABR]

Meyer 9 Ks in 3.2. Wtf, that's two guys that didn't strikeout. Come on, Alex.

[TRex]

r.e. Meyer...

 

If I am reading between the lines correctly (i.e. 3 K's looking), it looks like he was throwing the breaking ball today too!

Yep. That gust we're all feeling is Twins fans everywhere breathing a collective sigh of relief. Hopefully today's effort means the clean bill of health that gets him back up to New Britain and full-tilt resumption of his fast track to the Twins starting rotation.

 

Overlooked here is a good bounceback effort from Thorpe. Couldn't quite match Meyer, but I'll definitely take 0 hits and 6 Ks in 3.1 innings pitched.

 

2 much-needed bits of positive Twins news.

[Mr. Brooks]

Meyer certainly looks the part of the real deal so far. Can't wait to get him up here.

[stringer bell]

Hendriks making his claim for Gibson's spot.

[amjgt]

The SP on the 5 domestic teams today gave up one run in 30.2ip.

[Badsmerf]

Liam is still 24. Younger than Gibson and only 7 months older than Trevor May. I think there is still hope. I'm still hopeful he can figure it out and become a solid part of the rotation. If Diamond and Pelfrey get to suck for half a season in the rotation, I'm not sure what is stopping them from allowing Hendriks to get an extended look.
