Brother in law is a big Braves fan hoping for Nats losses and asked what to expect from Perez tonight. I said five innings and five runs likely.....and whattya know..... Gibby.....just five innings.....just five.....two runs or less......please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His ERA is 9, but it would be 0 if we played with a 2nd baseman when he pitched against Cleveland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Okay, bullpen game coming up this weekend on Saturday against the Tribe. You're the manager, what would you do? My idea: 1st-2nd: Graterol. Show them high octane right away. 3rd-5th: Thorpe or Smeltz, maybe Hildy 2nd time through for change of pace. 6th: Duffy 7th: May 8th: Romo 9th: Rodgers Got to win one in Cleveland. If you have to mix and match the entire game fricken do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have to mix and match the entire game fricken do it. I suppose it all depends on what happens to the bullpen tonight and tomorrow. If Gibby and Odo struggle.....all heck could break loose. Dobnak did well as the opener in Boston, not as well against Cleveland on Sunday. Although I guess it was just the one inning against Boston and they pieced the rest together. No matter what you plan to do with the bullpen day, the Twins really need to hope Odo can go 7 strong and give the bullpen some rest tomorrow. With really no idea what you're going to get from Gibby start to start, and especially coming back from the IL......we'll see, but I'm not hopeful.

HockeyFan31 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Weather doesn't look great here in the Twin Cities tonight, though. So maybe they won't get it in and Gibby/Odo get pushed back into the Cleveland series? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn-O Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Do they scrap this game and fly the Nationals back on the 30th only if it’s needed to decide the race? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Gibby is just beating the piss out of Garver tonight. How many breaking balls can a guy spike? How far behind does the club get before Rocco pulls the plug? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate that the guy has the entire stadium chanting his name in big spots and thinks he has to hit one 500 feet. The quality of his AB's is terrible because his approach is terrible. Good hitters like Arraez make the adjustments. Eddie seems okay going ofer. They can't make a push without him. A key key cog in the lineup.

Got too depressed watching Gibby be Gibby and that spring training-esque lineup yesterday.....oof. Hopefully Odo is on tonight. Stashak only threw three pitches last night and I don't see the other two guys getting used in Cleveland unless things get out of hand. If Odo can go 6-7 tonight the Twins should be set up ok for the bullpen day Saturday. (Although Saturday is probably a throwaway game with twitchy Clevinger on the mound for the Tribe) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
