Why is this guy wearing eye glare black at a night game?

 

I wish we'd have pitched him scared a couple innings ago.

 

Well that just wasn't smart pitching to him that at bat. Can't hang offspeed stuff like that to a slugger.

 

I hate that we're pitching scared to Encarnacion. Seems pretty soft.

 

If I were Perez I'd p itch scared to everyone.

And of course the leadoff walk hurt the twins..did i mention mallex smith is garbage?

Yeah Perez is regressing a bit it seems. Actually since he’s been back from paternity leave it’s been stinkorama

Definitely over Martin Perez. Dude has been awful the past month. 

Make your babies in March or April ppl!

Perez still has really good stuff. It's command, and some poor choices, that are hurting him.

Disagree he has good stuff. He throws hard sure, but lacks a solid breaking pitch and hitters have learned to lay off the cutter. There's a reason he has a 4.5+ career ERA and had a 6+ ERA last year.

Back from dinner. Nice little NY strip off the grill, medium rare, baked kabucha squash with butter 'n brown sugar, salad from the garden. A glass of a delightful little Portugese red blend.

 

Satiated.

Which wine?

****ing hell polanco

Can't afford stupid baserunning down by a run. Cmon Polanco.

As of this point I trust Odorizzi & Berrios in October, but not Kyle “Braniac” Gibson, Perez, or anyone else. We got plenty of prospects let’s get an ace.

I think Polanco moves really well at short, but yeah, his arm is lacking.

He's been doing just fine there this year.

Also curious. 

 

In my experience almost all Portuguese reds are blends, and the region often matters more.

Okay, time for that error.

 

Agreed. Is it my imagination or does Perez actually kind of stink? I don’t think we need to worry about overcrowding of the rotation if we can pick up a starter in a trade. They can replace either Perez or Pineda. Frankly, I would be tempted to replace one of them with Smeltzer now so at least we can get more innings.

 

Seems like this is the next test for Wes Johnson Can he help the pitcher adjust to the league's adjustment to him?

At least the numbers for the Mariners' BP look pretty unimpressive.

Not a good night for Gonzalez. I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume that Cron only would have hit two homers.

This game won’t end 4-3 hopefully we can hold them to 4.

Hiya gang. Did I make it in time for the comeback?

Tbf he did get screwed on the strikeout in his 2nd AB and it should be a 4-4 game right now

 

Which wine?

"Red Blend Portugal" by Casa Santos Lima.

 

And I lied. re: "a" glass.

I was hoping Roco would give Duffey another inning.

I’m not sure why you run out the two curve-ballers back to back.

Fun with numbers:

 

Garver/Castro: 12 Dbls/ 18 HR/ 43 RBI/ .295 Avg/ .389 OB/ .629 SLG/ 1.018 OPS

 

Those would be cleanup numbers for a lot of past Twins teams, and wouldn't look bad for any team at this point in the season.

 

I’m not sure why you run out the two curve-ballers back to back.

Well they won't be seeing the same hitters.

Encarnación is a monster.

Agreed. Duffey does have the better FB. Only reason I can think of.
