Austin Gomber
vs
Pablo López
Day game alert!
I don't think I've heard of Austin Gomber before. This being his fourth season in Colorado along with his 98 ERA+ mostly explains that. His best season by ERA so far but not by FIP. Nothing that remarkable about him but he is a lefty and an unheralded draft pick from the fourth round in 2014. He could be this generation's Jeremy.
Not a Jeremy!
NOBL but Twins get four runs, so far.
I would be remiss not to point out that the key to that inning was the bunt.
Plouufey was sure to highlight it.
Willi HR -- nice, but it's not an HBP! C'mon Willi, you can do it!
I've really been enjoying the Kris Attebury/Glen Perkins radio booth
I was thinking about getting the radio package and I realized I haven't heard any of the new Dazzle/Attaboy broadcasts yet.
Agreed -- Perk keeps it hopping
Guess who I ran into and exchanged a pleasant "goodnight" with while leaving the ballpark last night? That would be Trevor Plouffe. I'm liking his work with Provus on TV as well, but Perkins is real good and especially so when the topic is pitching.
What was Thielbar's pitch count yesterday? Is this appearance right away the next day (after yesterday's results) a good idea?
Nope. No it was not.
I daresay it was a downright bad decision!
I mean, Carlos didn't help matters, but still...
Might have been a get-him-back-on-the-horse-right-away thing. Or an obscure stat on a specific matchup that Rocco spotted.
BOSO.
This game is drunk.
I would've assumed the game was further west and much higher in elevation based on the score.
Carlos Correa has raised his batting average about 25 points in the past 24 hours.
I wonder how often in MLB history the Starting 9 each got a hit, scored a run, and nabbed an RBI
Remember some guys from 2006.
From the batting averages, I'm guessing that must have been early in the season.
August 6, 2006. It was a different era. Also this was a Sunday day game so the B lineup got some time.
Shows what I know.
So, is 5 singles in a game a Twins record?
Missed XPT or 3 figgies for the Broncos?
