GCL Rays vs GCL Twins

DSL Reds vs DSL Twins

I believe Meyer is pitching for GCL today too.

I believe Meyer is good to go. 3 innings so far 1 hit 7/0 K/BB.

Meyer 9 Ks in 3.2. Wtf, that's two guys that didn't strikeout. Come on, Alex.

r.e. Meyer...

 

If I am reading between the lines correctly (i.e. 3 K's looking), it looks like he was throwing the breaking ball today too!

Yep. That gust we're all feeling is Twins fans everywhere breathing a collective sigh of relief. Hopefully today's effort means the clean bill of health that gets him back up to New Britain and full-tilt resumption of his fast track to the Twins starting rotation.

 

Overlooked here is a good bounceback effort from Thorpe. Couldn't quite match Meyer, but I'll definitely take 0 hits and 6 Ks in 3.1 innings pitched.

 

2 much-needed bits of positive Twins news.

Meyer certainly looks the part of the real deal so far. Can't wait to get him up here.

Hendriks making his claim for Gibson's spot.

The SP on the 5 domestic teams today gave up one run in 30.2ip.

Liam is still 24. Younger than Gibson and only 7 months older than Trevor May. I think there is still hope. I'm still hopeful he can figure it out and become a solid part of the rotation. If Diamond and Pelfrey get to suck for half a season in the rotation, I'm not sure what is stopping them from allowing Hendriks to get an extended look.
