can't just throw fastballs, gotta mix up the pitches so keep hitters timing off.  but throwing anything over the plate is gonna get smashed 

if I were the other team, I would only throw Colson four-seam fastballs until he proves he can actually hit them. That was his problem in the minors, it's still a problem. He's not hitting velocity. He's crushing basically everything else. He's crushing two-seamers and cutters. But when the fastball gets a little faster...

Prior to this game, he has a .114 average against 4-seamers and it's the pitch he sees the most, it's dragging down his stats.

If he figures it out, he's a superstar. But I think that's where his bust potential still lies.

Pretty bad against changeup too, but low sample size. It also looks a lot like a 4-seam fastball...

Our pitching is just god awful

Who says Chase can’t produce runs 

Benintendi has the noodliest arm. How did this guy win a GG

and that's our $75 mil man in left.

Yermin probably could have thrown him out there.

Don't think JR will eat what, 30 million left on his deal

Does JR have the money on hand to cut a $30+ million check?

You know they're basically stuck with him until trade deadline 2027.

 

Keuchel was the only big money guy they did that with, not even Grandal.

Never.  Maybe after 2026 and I’m still skeptical on that.  But honestly, has Getz even acquired a better outfielder yet to replace Benintendi?

DON'T STOP NOW BOYS

didn't realize the Twins had any relievers left with a sub 10 ERA

TEEL!!!!!!!

How does Tauchman not score?

let's go!

There we go Sosa!

SOSA FUCKS!!!!!!!

What the f***

Good lord the base running tonight has been horrible.  Stone has to stop making excuses for this awful coaching

wtf?

Yeah… that is just too shallow to take a chance with someone who isn’t a burner.

Still want to know how in the hell Tauchman didn’t score on Teel’s hit and Vargas to third.

The guy can't get the ball over the plate. Literally no reason to test anyone even with 2 outs.

did Jirschele send him? that was the dumbest thing I've ever seen

Probably…sadly the Teel play was even worse

Gotta give Luis a shot with the sacks packed there.
