Twins pitchers learning the hard way how to navigate through a legit offensive team.

ALF is on right now, and I'm this close to changing the channel to it

If our defensive wizard isn't going to move his feet with a tie game and the bases loaded while trying to earn a major league job. 

 

When is it going to happen?

 

But he dropped down a nice bunt!

 

Well he got the ground ball......but Ehire couldn't "olé" it.

 

As a coach... I would play that video for infielders as an example of how not to do it.

Defensive wizard? What did I miss?

As others have said: too many foul balls

I backed it up. Saw it.  Sad.

Well, it is looking very much like Wheeler time.

 

Maybe the Twins can score a couple and get JO off the hook.

Man, ALF was hilarious

Five innings, 4 Ernies, 4 BB's, 104 pitches.  That's not good, but it could have been sooooooo much worse if he had unraveled.

I really can't stand how that play is scored as a hit when it was obviously an error. Hopefully it'll be retroactively changed - Berrios should have 2 unearned runs right now.

would have ended the inning

When they signed him

 

I said "who is this guy?"

 

I started reading about him and the reports were "Defensive Wizard" 

 

I looked at his offensive stats and I said to myself "Must be" because he isn't an offensive powerhouse. 

 

Now I watch him at 3B reach for a ball he could have centered up and turned a double play on and cost us two runs and I'm questioning when I said to myself "Must be". 

Wow, fiers was absolutely on the ropes in the first inning. 30 pitches. He's had 39 since. We know how to keep the pressure on, that's for sure.

Fiers is the guy who surrenders a home run an inning, correct?

Kepler is getting a HR here.

I don't know, but he reportedly is the guy who was going to be removed from the rotation until about a day ago

The Twins love making terrible pitchers look like Cy Young Award winners....

Should be 2 Ernies

 

Adrianaza should be given an ERA and get those tacked on to it.

Where are you located?

Maybe not.

 

Where are you located?

In the delusional zone, apparently.

well, there's always next year.

Fiers is doing what Berrios needed to do, get ahead of the hitters.  He has thrown a 1st pitch strike to almost every batter since the 1st inning.

Where are you located?

I hope he got one there, because he didn't get one here.

doesn't help that they all swing and miss it.

Boshers enters...and so it begins.

Well, at least we missed Dallas Keuchel, Nolan Ryan, and J. R. Richard this series.

Yeah, that's the worst part. Didn't even see their two best arms.
