    Hard to see the Twins winning this game.
  2. bighat
    How many throws over to first tonight for Gibby? About 20?
  3. bighat
    Gibby pitching slow. Gibby pitching bad. Game becoming hard to watch.
  4. bighat
    Terrible strike call on Adrianza there.
  5. bighat
    Yeah that 2nd strike was just awful, especially from a veteran. Dude's really in a funk and maybe due for the 9-spot soon.
  6. bighat
    Great hit Arraez! Whensalasttime Marwin got a big hit? Might be due!
  7. bighat
    Not cool, ump.

    Suggesting sitting one of the best players in the league? Dude he's batting .265 against lefties, what's so bad about that? Max Kepler is batting .270 against lefties, should sit him against lefties too? This team has plenty of issues to nit-pick. There are plenty of adjustments this team could make. Complaining about Polanco is like complaining the thread count on your sheets while the house is on fire. He's only a month removed from serious MVP consideration and is as solid a player as this team has.

    This series is so big that even Deadspin.com took a break from writing about the Yankees and Red Sox to focus on the Twins/Indians matchup starting tonight: https://deadspin.com/the-indians-are-coming-to-try-and-take-out-the-twins-1837063703 excerpt: This upcoming series won’t be the decisive final round between the Twins and the Indians—they’ll have six games against each other in September. But it’ll be a crystal-clear referendum on which of these teams should be favored to avoid the Wild Card as the season enters its final stretch. The Twins could increase their lead to as much as six games and immediately shut down any whispers about regression with a dominant performance, while the Indians could reassert their grip on an AL Central they’ve completely controlled for the past three years by continuing their recent success. Whatever happens, this’ll be four days of tense, all-out, good-ass August baseball.

    BIG game for Gibby tonight! Huge. You gotta set the tone with a W tonight. Pizza Ranch For the Win: Gibby, you gotta go out there and give 3-4 scoreless innings to start this game. Give the offense time to get the lead. Pizza Pit For the Loss: Over his last six starts, Clevinger has a 1.69 ERA with 49 strikeouts in 37 1/3 innings. Yikes.
  11. bighat
    No. His right-handed numbers are very good, he's batting .265 and has a few HRs.
  12. bighat
    Funny how everyone watching knew that was gonna happen. Did Rocco know that also and he's just forcing the FO's hand? Why is Schoop even playing at all at this point? He should be a 9th inning defensive replacement or something, or be inserted into a lineup once the game's out of reach. Brewers found out quickly last year that the guy wasn't good. They traded for him and then benched him after his first few weeks with the team. Like Perez, he is who we thought he was.
  13. bighat
    Yeah but Smelzer is - put Smelzer into the rotation for Perez, Gatreol to the 'pen, Perez to the unemployment line.
  14. bighat
    I'm with you Mike. There's nothing in Perez' recent history that suggests his early season surge was anything BUT blind luck. He's a borderline MLB athlete at this point and should be put in the "Hector Santiago Category" of being a roster filler on a rebuilding club. Guy doesn't belong anywhere near a contending team's roster.
  15. bighat
    Didn't we have one yesterday also? I'm sick of "those days"!
  16. bighat
    Lunch break: RUINED! For once I'm happy to have to go back to work. Twins when wearing the white jerseys have played terribly this year BTW, don't have the stats handy but it's brutal! Abolish them.
  17. bighat
    Wow, Braves come out roaring and all 3 batters for the Twins strike out to start the 1st. I know it's early but you couldn't have scripted a worse start to this game.
  18. bighat
    And have the 'pen burned up for the Cleveland series? Perez has put the Twins in a terrible spot here.
  19. bighat
    Yeah, his triumphant return was clearly smoke and mirrors. Had a few nice outings early in the year but honestly this guy is EXACTLY the same guy who went 1-6 with a 6.54 ERA for Texas last year. A scrap heap bum. Thing is he's been very bad out of the pen as well. No options either. Twins are in a tough spot with him and don't want to cut bait. If they don't though, you see what happens.
  20. bighat
    BOOOOOO! BOOOO!
  21. bighat
    Berrios gave up 9 earned runs in 5.2 innings....his ERA after that outing? 3.24. The guy's elite. Let 'em be. I'm shaking in my boots with Perez on the hill tonight. In the back of his head, he's got to see the writing on the wall with Smelzer lurking and Pineda coming back soon. He might just be pitching to save his spot in the rotation. The Twins will supplant veterans, as Arraez has clearly (somewhat quietly?) replaced Schoop in the lineup. Jonathan now only getting at-bats once the game got out of hand.
  22. bighat
    Rats. We got greedy!
  23. bighat
    Stashak will be on the next flight out to Rochester it appears. The Australian kid ready yet or does he still need another few days down there?
  24. bighat
    Ugly game. Hope something good comes of this, like motivation for tomorrow. One of the worst games - if not the worst - this team has played all year.
  25. bighat
    Why are they leaving Berrios to hang out to dry right now?
