Angels @ Twins 07/25/2021 Gamethread

Good morning Barria, and goodbye, Claudio. A chance to win the series and get back to .500 rests on the shoulders of Jamie Barria. With an offense that has been less than ideal, and a bullpen that has been terrifying, a great game by Barria would be huge.

Also, yes, it is a morning game. Discuss…

So just maybe Barria has a future as an actual pitcher? Looked awful good today after that sucky start in the first.

Stassi is the Panther OTG. Dude caught a day game after a night game and had a career performance.

yeah, great game for him. Close runner up would be Barria, overcoming those first two batters to throw a solid game.

Stassi needs to catch everyday even when there are no games. #2Valuable

Also, Marsh for getting his hair dirty

I’m a believer in Marsh. Good eye, not fazed by the situation in the 9th.

Welp, this game sure ended up different from what I thought it would 8 1/2 innings ago.

The mirror image of Friday’s debacle.

having an outfield of guys who can get the ball is nice. No Ward, no infielders.

A sweep would have been really nice, but I find it hard to complain about any 3 of 4 series win.

Yep. I was expecting a split, so three out of four is a nice surprise!

you know, I sometimes wonder when it is a three run lead if the guy warming up in the pen kind of internally goes “shit” when that next runs scores to make it a four run lead. He knows he’s not getting a save, lol.

probably only for closers, if at all. watson prob doesn’t care anymore, been a while since he was a closer

I’d think pretty much everyone would like to pad their stats …..

but I think you’re right in that it would be more so for closers.

Since July 17th Jack may also be a hitter. He’s batting .333 with a 1.333 OPS

So Barria stays in the rotation ? The next time we need a Sith Starter will be next Saturday against a real team

Would this real team involve anyone from the resistance?

His fastball was hitting 96 MPH, it seemed like a new Barria.

I’m hoping he stays cuz that means Heaney and or Cobb has been traded by Friday.

Not with a 6 man rotation. There’s room for all the homies.
