Damn Minnesota about to sweep Baltimore

Career game. Have a day ReyLo

What plan is that?

Book is out on Rondon. Pitch him outside. He stands too far off the plate, just seems like he is afraid of the ball inside.

Love it. If him and Gio have truly found their groove, we just need Cease, Kopech and Rodon to be healthy next year. This will be a formidable starting 5.

If Cordell isn't careful, Delmonico might take his spot when Jimenez gets back.

Lopie looks great. Castillo got that BA over .200! Woohoo!!!!!

Right now the best spot for him is probably 4th or 5th the way McCann is hitting. 1-3 is perfect right now, especially with Abreu finally hitting.

Not sure who he would replace though. McCann is a fine defensive catcher and he is on fire with hitting the ball right now, and I'm pretty sure they want to play out Welington's contract. I bet Collins will be up in September. If one of the catchers get hurt, I think he's up in a heart beat though.

After seeing Moncada, Anderson and what I believe Giolito is going to be this year, yeah, Jimenez can have 2 sub-par seasons honestly before I start becoming skeptical of him. The most recent track records of our now seasoned prospects seem to indicate a change, and we may finally be out of the Gordon-Beckham-esque type prospects era. Dude needs time to adjust, and develop, no matter how great he was in the minors. Vlad Jr. and Tatis are probably gonna go through the same thing. Not many players are Mike Trout. Plus, we just found out that the guy was going through the awful reality of losing a very close loved one, which just happened. Remember TA and his best friend, and how much that affected him that season? Yeah, idc what Jimenez contract is, he's got a long leash as far as I, and I hope many others, are concerned.

Shit what did I miss?? Guess I've learned my lesson to not give up haha

Just pathetic performance in front of a nice crowd. Gahhh so frustrating.

Nice one there. Not sure why they even pitch to Moncada with Engel hitting behind him.

I was being gracious. I agree...wouldnt be surprised if it was a month. This really shouldnt surprise anyone though with his injuries he has last year

Yeah no kidding. With Eloy now probably out another week at least this just feels like a repeat of last year, without the excitement of anyone coming up besides Cease who has a history of injury concerns himself.

It feels like we are a lot father behind in the rebuild process than the royals and tigers. A lot of players keep saying this team will surprise this year, said same thing last year, really? Where is the surprise?

Yeah he has, not only has hos awful performance cost the game, it's cost an injury to one of the most important players on the team, and our bullpen suffers.

And now our future superstar is hurt. Baseball hates our team.

Was literally like my first time complaining ever about Moncada. And to be honest I'm one of the few people that ever do b**** on this board. Im usually on the opposite side of the argument. So I'm gonna vent in this game. Get ready b****, cuz it's ride or get run over time. Rodon gonna be at 80 pitches in the 3rd inning. Woww

Lmfao

They need to take advantage of this

Way to personally attack me. Appreciate that. I don't care if it is 0-2 and the pitcher is "likely to waste a pitch" as you say, you are up there protecting the zone, not staring at a pitch. If he was ready to hit that ball shouldve been over the fence. No one is b****ing just to b****. I literally just asked you a question and you took offense at it, grow a pair.

You can just feel it..Detroit is gonna blow this open and knock Rodon out of the game.

Rodon about to have 50 pitches in 2 innings. Looks a lot to me like he is getting off the pot, as opposed to the alternative.

Would love it if someone could find a stat of how many 1-2-3 innings our pitchers have had this year and compare it to the rest of the league.
