C4 just missed on that fast ball. -
That'll work!
-
Huge pitch here. Can't have back-to-back K's.
-
Come on, Double M.
-
That was hideous.
-
Farm Dog's due for a home run.
-
Was wondering about that. Does it tend to put more stress on the elbow / shoulder?
-
That's a solid AB from Buck. Laid off the out-of-zone soft stuff.
-
Yup, it could be. His timing's been a bit off this series.
-
Yup. Almost had it with that AB. Was just a bit out in front.
-
Came close. Montgomery's really scuffling this season. Twins should be able to string some runs together.
-
Yup. Would be shocked if the Yanks don't put him on the IL for a bit and let him get some time off.
-
As for Gil, lots of talk up here that he's dealing with shoulder fatigue. His velocity hasn't had a big drop but command has been an issue for him the last two starts.

Still think part of the issue with SWR is that he was part of three different organizations early on in his career and there was no MiLB in 2020. He's found some consistency with the Twins and what they want him to do, and he's doing it quite well. Not sure about ROY. But, it does look like the Twins have a long-term piece to their rotation to go along with Pablo, Ryan, Ober and hopefully Festa. Future's bright for the rotation.

Guessing it came from when Montgomery was on the Yankees and CV on the Red Sox. There were a few seasons where he was pretty solid at the plate especially against lefties.
-
Pumped for this one. Let's go, Festa!
-
SWR's been very good this season. Nelson's been very hittable this season. Let's get the W tonight and go for the series win tomorrow behind Festa.
-
If Festa's the real deal, would be nice to move Paddack and Varland to the pen...
-
Dare to dream of a starting rotation of: Pablo, Ryan, Ober, SWR, and Festa. Everyone healthy and pitching well. That's a legit long-term rotation. Also of note, Festa's a NJ native and grew up about 90 minutes from where I live.
-
Correct on Funderburk. Absolutely should be Thielbar but he's a made man. And they likely want to keep Henriquez around if they need a reliever to pitch 2+ innings.
-
With the way Rocco manages the 'pen, he really must have believed all those off-season fluff pieces.

1. Rocco pulled Ryan last week. Turned it over to Sands. Tossing gas on the fire with Sands in a high leverage spot. 2. Rocco let Jackson pitch the 9th and essentially conceded the game. 3. Rocco put Alcala in the game last night despite his starter throwing less than 90 pitches and having retired 14 of 15.
-
Ryan threw 86 pitches and had retired 14 of his last 15 batters. And he's pulled. There's no defending that. It was a terrible decision.

There's layers to it. Not all one-run games are created equally. Some instances, you'll have a big lead and hang on. Other times, you'll be down big, get within a run and fall short. Managers not always at play. But these last four games, we've seen some really bad bullpen management and its bit them in the ass each time. That's on Rocco.
