The boys are hitting some rockets, tho, eh?

 

I think they're gonna eat this two-faced god of a pitcher alive today.

 

Oh, wait, that's Janus, not Junis.

 

Whatever.

  • It's a good thing ugly wins are just as valuable as dominating wins!

    I thought I was past the point this season where I would feel a massive sense of relief to get a win in KC.

  • I will be taking the lovely Mrs. Blake out this evening for her birthday.   Hopefully, she's okay with Little Caesar pizza.  

Martin Perez's Chariot seems to have turned back into pumpkins?

 

Watching that inning was not fun. I try to remind myself that the baseball season is long and there will be stretches of bad outcomes. To wit: the 2017 Dodgers finished the season at 104-58. Yet from Aug.26 through Sept. 11 they lost 16 of 17 games.

Very easy. Lewis Thorpe needs to replace Perez. Perez is not a ML player if his velo sits 91-93 mph.

Um, what? Thorpe tops out around 93-92 mph and has had a poor season at AAA. For as bad as Perez has been, Thorpe has a 5.40 ERA at AAA and it'd probably be over 6 in the majors if/when he pitches.

What would happen if Martin Perez pitched to Miguel Sano?

 

Maybe Sano can raise his bowling avg

Gonna need to pick up more spares, cause there sure as heck ain't no more strikes to find.

I’ve seen enough of Perez.

 

For the love of God Falvine, before you squander this historic start. Get some GD real pitchers in here and quit the bargain bin garbage like Parker and Perez.

Way to take one for the team Cave!!!! :)

When was the last time Sano got a hit, will he ever hit again

You gotta get angry! You gotta get mean! That's the only way you can play!

My first bit of advice: put quotation marks on both ends of what you are referring to in a sentence.

If you think winning 104 games in a season while losin 16 of 17 at some point is the rule and not some fluke of the rarest exception, I guess I don’t really know what to tell you.

 

Perez is not a ML player anytime. 

 

I did not know this... I admit confusion was caused over the uniform and contract.  :)

When was the last time Sano got a hit, will he ever hit again

Yes.

 

There is a legend from the dawn of spring training. Not until his last hit is forgotten will he hit again.

 

Kinda like Brigadoon, but less music.

I already said this in April, probably beat Astros. Those xFIP and DRA showed anyone they were very lucky pitchers.

It's not the rule but it's not really an exception either. It's just a particularly striking example of how even very good teams have bad stretches.

 

Perez is not a ML player anytime. We can't expect he can pick up this team. LOL....

 

I will hope Berrios throws a gem tomorrow.

That's the third time you've said that.

Lewis Thorpe, maybe, but his stats in AAA aren't impressive at all.

Whaddya know. A 1-2-3 inning. I wonder if it has anything to do with what part of their order is up?

Total protonic reversal?

The door swings both ways.

I think it was a 9-1-2 inning.

Serious question (Which is hard for me). 

 

I did a lot of sleeping when punctuation was taught in Elementary School, Middle School, High School and College.

 

When you use quotation marks at the end of a sentence. Does the . or ? go inside the quotation marks or outside. 

 

Again Serious Question... and yes I have no shame.

I dunno. Ask google. (I have no shame either.)

Better get that out of your system, Dick. "The Twins haven't had a three game losing streak yet" schtick won't last too much longer.

 

Okay, maybe a good catch followed by a jolt will get the team back on track.

 

Sounds like a plan, but just remember... you don't need to hit for the cycle.

Perez is toast, is clearly the weakest starter on this team. In fact the guy's a borderline #5 starter on any team right now, as bad as he ever was in Texas. He's become who he always was, as we all feared his success was a fluke.

 

Twins shouldn't pick up his option and at this point they're in a tough spot because he's bad out of the bullpen as well. Can't trade him either.

The Tigers knocked Bauer out--he was out after 4 innings.

 

I dunno. Ask google. (I have no shame either.)

If you're watching this game in Great Britain you would put the ? outside the "

 

but here we don't do that."
