July 18, 20179 yr Big Sexy goes 2.2 tonight, giving up 6 Earned Runs. Two home runs (but he baffles Aaron Judge). Bartolo gets DFA and retires.
July 18, 20179 yr 6.2. 8H, 4k, 2BB 3R 1ERTwins win 17-4.Obviously we aren't going to fall apart until after the deadline, will probably become buyers, so that necessitates we get a bit more hope before the rug gets pulled out.
July 18, 20179 yr 5 innings, 4 runs, 8 hits, 3 k 3 bb. Some very hard hit double plays and still comes out to a standing ovation getting through 5.
July 18, 20179 yr He's still got it, depends if defense can steal him a couple outs but I'd say 6 innings or more is likely.
July 18, 20179 yr 0, I think it will be a rainout More storms could develop but it doesn't look like much rain the rest of the day.
July 18, 20179 yr Has it been announced yet who was cut to make space on the 40 and 25-man rosters? Gee was removed from the 40 man roster, and Vargas was sent down to AAA.
July 18, 20179 yr Aaron Hicks with 2 of those hits, including a solo HR? Nicely played, sir, nicely played.
July 18, 20179 yr Gee was removed from the 40 man roster, and Vargas was sent down to AAA.If Gee moves on and does well and Colon bombs, this could turn out to be the dumbest move of the season.
July 18, 20179 yr Author Then again, Bartolo has a better chance than Steve Carleton did in his brief stint with the Twins very near the end of his career. .
July 18, 20179 yr Gee was removed from the 40 man roster, and Vargas was sent down to AAA. Thanks for the update!
July 18, 20179 yr 5.2IP, 9 hits, 2K, 4BB (2 IBB), 5 earned runs, 2 HR. Leaves with the Twins down 5-4, Twins win 7-5. Edited July 18, 20179 yr by Puckett34
July 18, 20179 yr If Gee moves on and does well and Colon bombs, this could turn out to be the dumbest move of the season. And if Gee moves on and bombs and Colon does well?
July 18, 20179 yr And if Gee moves on and bombs and Colon does well?Lucky - lol! ...and if they both bomb that would be filed under probable. They are banking on Colon reverting back to a prior year form while Gee has pitched well in AAA so far - less as well in his Major league stint this year. By pitching well in AAA I mean not allowing any runs - I have no idea how is stuff looked. I probably would have gone with Gee because we only need a short-term solution and would go with the more recent trending, but I have no demonstratable qualities to be a GM. They may have seen something in Colon they think can correct or they want his presence?
July 18, 20179 yr And if Gee moves on and bombs and Colon does well?if this happens we all buy lottery tickets.
July 18, 20179 yr Has it been announced yet who was cut to make space on the 40 and 25-man rosters?Hughes to the 60 day DL
July 18, 20179 yr Baffles the struggling Yankees with slow, slower, slowest, and beyond slowest pitches and dominates with a cg shutout. 3 Yankees go to the DL after the game with strained obliques from swinging out of their socks at alluring meatballs only to find themselves way out in front. Meanwhile, Colon puts on a Bugs Bunny like performance by catching his own pitches and playing outfield.
July 18, 20179 yr Gee was removed from the 40 man roster, and Vargas was sent down to AAA. I think you are half right. Vargas optioned, Hughes 60-day DL and Breslow activated. If they outrighted Gee, then they couldn't place Hughes on the 60-day DL.
July 18, 20179 yr It would have been nice if they had given Gee a chance, he seemed to be doing well in AAA. I'm going to go with my cup is half full and try to be positive with Colon 5 innings, 5 hits, 0 runs, 1BB's, 2K's, 85 pitches. Starts the 6th, gives up a hit and Molitor comes out to get him and he leaves to an ovation Someone gets on base every inning, but no one scores. Boy I hope I'm right.
