Chris Archer has started 21 games for the Twins this season. In not one of them has he pitched more than five innings. Not one. He'll take the mound again tonight, but if want to see him pitch, try not to blink. Archer squares off with Luis Garcia, who is 10-8 with an ERA just north of four and 127 strikeouts in 124 innings. If momentum is tonight's starting pitcher, advantage Astros, I guess.
The Guardians keep collecting wins while the Twins squander their opportunities and pile up the losses with lackluster defense, baserunning, and an offense that is only days away from an official MIA designation. The main thing that keeps me hanging on is that I love watching Luis Arraez play baseball and feel compelled to watch every plate appearance and track his batting average on a daily basis. So, I have no idea how you turn this team around and get it playing up to its potential again, that's Rocco's job and that's why he makes the big pile of dough. It doesn't strike me as an easy task, though.
Play ball!
Well, that's a start...
JORGE!
Archer not going to last 3 innings at this rate
2 innings
Of course.
Dang, ready to taxi - looks like I'm going to miss some of this game.
After all these years, leadoff triples are still sexy.
TWINS BASEBALL!!
Garcia is such an annoying pitcher.
looks like tonight's game is free. you know, if you actually want to watch it.
We are rapidly approaching the point of no return. ☹️
Here is the game Roy Smalley was just discussing in which Billy Martin yanked Ron Guidry for Goose Gossage mid-plate appearance.
YDNROMK!!!
bonus giddiness that Kepler threw Altuve out
Luis is really scuffling.
