August 16, 20179 yr That was definitely a home run that he robbed there. Way to find the wall first and time his leap. Especially nice because Encarnacion stood admiring if for about 3 seconds before leaving the batters box.
August 16, 20179 yr Busenitz has closer stuff. Not sure he has the mental capacity yet. He also needs to improve his command a bit, evidenced by that meatball. But the stuff is very good. Before the game he had a swinging strike percentage about 5%. Pretty hittable
August 16, 20179 yr On the strikeout pitch to Mauer, the catcher set up inside, and then moved outside at the last minute. Wonder if Kepler was signaling for the inside pitch from second when he saw the set up,Used to be a recipe for a fastball buzzed under somebody's chin. That remedy is frowned on nowadays. But in any case, if the baserunner can see the catcher, the catcher can see the baserunner; you can't get away with signaling for long
August 16, 20179 yr This is my weekly reminder that our bullpen makes us in no way shape or form, a contender
August 16, 20179 yr And Dicknbert were wondering who would be taken out of the bullpen if Perkins is activated...
August 16, 20179 yr Boshers should not be pitching to RHB in leverage situations. Poor bullpen management. Ladies and gentlemen, Paul Molitor.
August 16, 20179 yr This is my weekly reminder that our bullpen makes us in no way shape or form, a contenderWon't click like but would click agree if there were such a button.
August 16, 20179 yr That's what happens when have you have Buddy Boshers throwing high leverage innings in a playoff chase.
August 16, 20179 yr Ugh...got back from vacation, turned on the Twins, watched a Buxton highlight...and then got BosheeeeeereD. When you're a loogy, ya better get the the lefties out or at least make them swing the bat. Why Molly left him in there is beyond me.
August 16, 20179 yr Before the game he had a swinging strike percentage about 5%. Pretty hittableI think that's a command issue. He's not yet capable of hitting his spots consistently. But he's got an upper 90s fastball and a biting breaking ball.
August 16, 20179 yr Might as well scoreboard watch Angels: lostKC: winning 3-0 in the first Seattle: losing 1-0 in the first Baltimore: winning 1-0 in the firstTampa: winning 6-4 in the 9th
August 16, 20179 yr Boom! You can clearly see the advantage Cleveland has in team and game management in this game. They have done their scouting to a tee. They simply ate up Boshers. The steal by a snail speed baserunner was even more terrible than the 3 run homer. Edited August 16, 20179 yr by GardyParty
August 16, 20179 yr Boshers should not be pitching to RHB in leverage situations.Poor bullpen management.Ladies and gentlemen, Paul Molitor.I sat here shaking my head...he's not really gonna let Boshers face another hitter here...a RH hitter at that...is he?
August 16, 20179 yr Indians pitchers just achieved 12 straight games with 10+ strikeouts... When was the last time a Twins staff had two in a row?
August 16, 20179 yr I feel like sano strikes out a lotBut that might just be me Stats dont lie. He has zero plate discipline and its getting to be an issue
August 16, 20179 yr Might as well scoreboard watch Angels: lostKC: winning 3-0 in the first Seattle: losing 1-0 in the first Baltimore: winning 1-0 in the firstTampa: winning 6-4 in the 9thGood antijynx. Anyone else notice the 5 run lead?
August 16, 20179 yr Got to tip the ol tattered twins hat to the competition tonight. Danny Salazar is tuff
August 16, 20179 yr That's what happens when have you have Buddy Boshers throwing high leverage innings in a playoff chase. What I don't understand is if you are willing to pull Booze out of the game with nobody on base and 2 outs for Boshers to face the left......then why do you allow Boshers to face a righty after failing to do his job against the lefty? You either have to let Booze finish the inning, or pull Boshers immediately after he walked Bruce, it makes no sense otherwise.
August 16, 20179 yr And Dicknbert were wondering who would be taken out of the bullpen if Perkins is activated...The timing of the discussion was hardly coincidental, although the immediacy of the longball perhaps was.
August 16, 20179 yr I am at peace with this lossWe used Busenitz, Boshers, and now Enns and we had started Bartolo vs SalazarNot a good chance of winning this one in the first place
August 16, 20179 yr Might as well scoreboard watch Angels: lostKC: winning 3-0 in the firstSeattle: losing 1-0 in the firstBaltimore: winning 1-0 in the firstTampa: winning 6-4 in the 9thIndians are also winning.
August 16, 20179 yr Indians are also winning.You, sir, can watch scoreboard circles around me! How are the Twins doing? They are the team i follow.
August 16, 20179 yr I see Enns is in the game. With the day off are we just skipping him in the rotation then with the off day yesterday? I turned the game off before Jackson's ball had landed, so forgive me if they answered the question already
August 16, 20179 yr Anyone else scoreboard watching? Giancarlo Stanton with his 8th homer in the past 9 games. Good lord! It really sucks that a team with all that young talent lost their ace pitcher and one of the top 3 in the league ast year. Jose Fernandez
August 16, 20179 yr Indians are also winning.I think august 15 is the date that you're allowed to check other scores. Although I've been doing it since before the ASB
