Braves hitters aggressive , both HR's on the 1st pitch

 

They did the same against Berrios last night.

I don't want to burn the pen by any stretch before this weekend, but not sure leaving Perez in to get rocked is a great play either.

Good thing the Twins held onto all those prospects instead of going out and getting a SP that is better than Perez.

Great front office this organization has.

 

Yeah, that isn't happening (Perez going 5 scoreless).

 

He's done it before

Just because someone or something has happened before doesn't mean it will happen again.

Likely the lesser of two evils.

Just because Perez had a bad first inning doesn't mean he will have 5 more bad innings. Works both ways.

Go ahead and do some investigating to find out which is more likely. Get back to me then.

This is some HARD regression to the mean for this team.

really interesting with cleveland playing a DH before our series tomorrow. will the lead be down to 2, up to 5 or somewhere in the middle?

You're right.  Falvine deserve all the blame for only getting two relievers at the deadline, and none of the credit for the team playing at a 100 win pace.

And people tried to convince me Perez would be back next year.... No chance.

Well, the team is on pace to win 100 games, so...

Yes.

Not even remotely what I said, but okay!

I just want to know who's idea it was to wear the white unis again. Didn't work too well last night.

1...2...3, baby...

If Perez goes 5 scoreless from here on out he's still giving us a quality start. Bats will jump on Fried

Ah, beat me to it. Yeah, if this is a bad front office, I'll take a bad front office all day long.

someone on here yesterday said this fried guy is a bum

Man, Fried 3 up, 3 strikeouts, not a great counter to those 3 runs fellas.  

Anyone care to show the location of each ABs first pitch so far? Flowers and Inciarte both got very hittable strikes on 0-0

Wow, Braves come out roaring and all 3 batters for the Twins strike out to start the 1st.

 

I know it's early but you couldn't have scripted a worse start to this game.

 

Not even remotely what I said, but okay!

 

You said, and I quote, "Great front office this organization has."  We can all understand the sarcastic nature of this.  You clearly don't think the FO is good, which is what led multiple posters to point out they have assembled a team on pace to win 100 games, only 3 years after the same organization lost 100 games.  Blame them for not making more deals all you want, but its ridiculous to assert that the first 3 years of the Falvine administration have been anything but successful.

There's 1 scoreless

Out

First inning: 10 plate apprarances, 3 K, 2 HR. Three true outcomes dream.

Good bounce back inning for Perez, would be great to see some good AB's here

break out the panic thread!

I was going for the shortest post with the "out" post  - now we can turn the scoreboard around and take the lead.
