I look forward to someone blaming the manager for the walks .... Or computers.

It's the microchips Bill Gates implanted in the players when they got their covid shot. He gave the computer controlling the chips to Rocco. But he dropped it. Now it sends out signals from Italy that say "That's a gouda cheese!"

It could have been worse, but oh my, Maeda couldn’t have struggled much more.

Did we win yet?

Dick: “Twins doing a good job of running up Giolito’s pitch count…”

Jeffers: “Hold my beer”

Maeda is just brutal to watch at times this year 

Jeffers has no speed, whatsoever.  He runs too long in one spot.

4 walks in 8 ABs, something really isn't right with Maeda.

Yeah, tried tuning in after the Donaldson homer but Maeda is unwatchable. Slow motion train wreck heading straight for the Twins here, why torture ourselves and watch?

I think Jim Bouton wrote a book about Maeda’s start tonight

Seems to have lost confidence in his stuff. Nobody's chasing his nibblers, just brutal.

True, but he is also getting squeezed according to Gameday and ESPN.com.

Maybe the Twins will say it was the rainout Saturday that knocked him off his rhythm?

Is there any other word that ends with thm? Can three consonants be a syllable? Not that my mind has started to wander or anything...

A set up line for Chief if ever i saw one...

No.

Our turn again.

Maeda is really struggling to find the strike zone, but he has somehow managed to hold Chicago to only 1 run. The question going forward is how long to wait before pulling him. He's already at 47 pitches through 2 innings, so I can't imagine he'll go more than 4 (and probably less if he keeps walking guys).

So i was mistook?

Or perhaps there is just more than is dreamt of in my philosophy...

How 'bout a nice, quick, 30 pitch inning here, Kenta?

We didn't do so much there...

I saw pics of players selected on the all star ballots.  The Yankee players look so much younger, due to the team's no facial hair policy.

Dry, brown grass or infinite Twins rainouts/rain delays.

Pick one, weather.

Looks like we are coming backout.

Does Justin have a mandated number of excuses he must use each game?

I'm not a big fan of dome stadiums, but they come in nice, once in a while. 2 weeks ago went to D-Back game. 1pm start.

114 degree outside temp, inside Chase Field, 74 degrees.

(Yes, yes, let's talk about the weather)

 

What does maeda keep checking a notecard for? Does it say “keep throwing balls”?
