And Berrios shows why he should be considered an ace, because the staff ace should be able to get out of a bases loaded jam like he just did.

Really glad Berrios had the comfort of a lead to work through that jam while his pitch count was still below 90. Closer game and that becomes a tougher call for Rocco.

I love that Rocco left him in. If you're the ace, you gotta get out of your own jams. We're gonna have to start calling him "No-Way Jose"

If I'm the celestially chosen lucky charm for this season we're screwed

Reminds me of the guy who hung up "K's" in the dome when Viola was pitching. Dome officials tried to get him to stop, but he argued, and I bet Viola had something to do with it, that Frankie did better when he was there to put up "K"s.

 

Needless to say, the practice continued.

Had to go back to work, so now I'm following on Gamecast. Is it accurate that Harper struck out Bregman on a 69.7 MPH curveball right down the middle of the strike zone? If so, that might be my favorite play of the game.

I just imagine Bregman walking back to the dugout and thinking, "WTH just happened?"

I just keep waiting on the wheels to fall off of the Harper Experience Tour Bus... He's crossed 3 states and I'm still waiting

I think they're having Ryne follow the hard-throwing pitchers. Makes Harper's fastball look like a change-up....

6-1 score and orange uniforms. I thought the Twins were done with the Orioles this year. Keep putting them on the schedule!

 

We've done pretty well against Orioles and Peacocks, but we need to work on the Blue Jays!

So, Eddie is 0 for his last 20 or so. Might want to think about giving him Friday off. That would be hurtful to the lineup with the Yankees throwing a LHP since the most logical fill in is Cave. But Rosario isn’t hitting anything right now. He isn’t striking out a ton (indeed, just one during this hitless stretch) so he’s probably more unlucky than overmatched. But just a day to clear his mind and hit the reset button I think would be helpful.
