Jack (I'm guessing anyway, based on how dumb he sounds) just said the Tigers starter and Lance Lynn are similar pitchers in that they come right after you and don't like to walk anyone. If Lance Lynn doesn't like walking guys, he must really hate himself.
(maybe don't listen to this one, just use your eyes.)
This is here. (and seriously, I'm not sure Jack has ever actually watched a baseball game in his life. Maaaaaaaybe his game 7, but that's it.)
Lynn has, perhaps unsurprisingly, not pitched enough innings to qualify for the ERA title. After that changes today, he will likely own the second highest BB/9 in the major leagues, just behind the dumpster fire season Lucas Giolito has been putting in*.
Also, the Eddies ride again!!
* Seriously, I had him as one of my KEEPERS. smh.
I hope the bullpen had a good pre-game stretch.
Detroit booth chatting about Lyn catching Lynn. And some people spell it Lynne!
I see it's The Best of the Eddies Show on MLB today.
Twins aren't showing any signs of getting more than one run today.
SEND HIM!!
(or work on increasing that MLB-leading PO total)
Note to Twins: When people talking about the importance of scoring in the first inning, they don't mean that it's the only inning in which you should score.
I'd feel a lot better about this game if the Twins could get it out of one-run lead territory.
Well, we've got a baserunner with less than two out. That's progress, I guess.
Now one in scoring position even! I just hope this isn't considered a "late and close" situation.
Hmph. Guess it was.
With the Twins offense, it gets late early.
And, to be fair, with Dozier it doesn't seem to matter what the situation is for him to not get on base.
Two guys on. And at the same time! Cool!
Eddie, it's up to you. Again.
Save us, Eddie Ros ario, you're our only hope.
It's a trap!
After this inning, it'd be better if it were a tarp.
So much for that.
Good start for Lynn.
I don't think I would have sent him out for the seventh though.
Jake Cave is DUE
For what?
An 0'fer, apparently.
Whoa, the Twins are cheating. You can't just take two bases like that, right?
That's why Garver stopped halfway to first. He had to check with the homeplate ump.
Ump musta told him its ok so long as the next guy pops it up.
Somehow, it's not at all surprising that John Hicks would get his only big league triple against the Twins.
It's almost like you can't really expect to win a lot of games when you only score one run.
When Cory says a player is barking at the home plate umpire, I like to imagine them actually barking.
heh.
And it's another verse of the same old song.
This is not my kind of music.
To be fair, few things are.
Too many quality starts by our starting pitching and even qualitier starts from the opposing pitching
They need a new equipment manager, keeps bringing the ass-bats when everyone has been asking for ash-bats.
The Roy Halladay move.
Wow. That's a move.
That's not a move. That's a drop through a trap door.
I guess my gut was right.
