Really late game alert! I'll get to watch maybe the first half.
Zebby Matthews
vs
Bryan Woo
Matthews has a 1.93 ERA in seven games in AAA this year and a 7.71 ERA with the Twins. Too good for AAA and real, real bad in his two games in MLB. FIP has a different story with a 2.48 FIP in AAA and 0.79 in MLB. Somehow giving up zero home runs with an ERA that high is impressive. The plus side is the Mariners ballpark is the friendliest to pitchers so this would be a good time to pitch closer to that FIP.
There's the correction on Matthews's FIP.
Yeah, welcome to the Bigs, Zebbie.
Well, lots of time to make up those runs. Hope they're not swinging ass bats tonight.
Larnach!
Twins lineup has a bad habit of not scoring for our better starters and not scoring enough for the filler starters
Really good second through sixth innings for Matthews.
And seventh inning.
Wilhelm!
Well, maybe we can take advantage of the Manfred brainfart here.
Correa!
Two Bux!
This was worth staying up late for. Nine runs in the 9th and 10th.
Nice start by Zebby despite the first. Lumber by Willi, then an explosion.
Got to the hotel after the wedding in the 9th. Got the laptop fired up in time for most of the top of the 10th. What a great time to tune in!
Crooked numbers galore.
