He looked like he was gonna be in the Cy Young race earlier in the year too.

Not a chance. He's only made in through six innings in 6 of 16 starts. He's been incredibly inconsistent from start to start and he missed a month through injury. He's had a bad year.

[LeetchisGod]

So what. He's had only five quality starts all year.

 

[RangerBlues]

Since June 6, Travis d’Arnaud leads all catchers in HR (10) & RBI (27).

 

[darko]

Those stats are pretty meaningless if the guy can't keep runs from scoring.

Mid 3s FIP and xFIP suggest his ERA is somewhat inflated.

 

[Machinehead]

d'Arnaud hit a homerun not against the Yankees

 

[Machinehead]

Wholesome content

 

[Bob Richards]

That was the first triple I've actually watched happen in real time and not a highlight lol

 

[Rangerfan4life90]

A triple play. It already feels like it's the Twins's night.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

How fat and disgusting do you have to be to GITP

Also the Yankees need to blast the league about the Aaron Judge strike zone problem

Gio Urshella is my dad

I get that he's 6'7" and that's weird but he was 6'7" three years ago. Figure it the f*** out.

If there were no outs on that Sanchez double play it would have been another triple play.

 

[LeetchisGod]

CC has had a great career but he is washed up at this point.

That stat aside, that triple play does not have to do with being fat and disgusting. 3B was playing right near the bag, no hesitations around the horn, great defensive play by the Twins.

On another note CC needs to GTFO.

Gio Urshella is my dad

I like your dad.

 

[BleedBlueNYR]

Anybody else notice that the bastards in Minnesota are playing New York New York when a Yankees hitter strikes out. Really annoying me.

They're butthurt because they've been our punching bags for years.

 

[BleedBlueNYR]

They're ******** because they've been our punching bags for years.

I’d like to keep it that way.

 

[Machinehead]

Winnable game. Gary is back to being awful.

 

[Rangerfan4life90]

Winnable game. Gary is back to being awful.

Sanchez has looked awful at the plate for a long while now. He was at .270-.280 and he's at like .235 now

 

[RGY]

Boone needs to step up and do to Gary what he did to Voit, move him down in the lineup to let him figure it out. He does not deserve to be in the heart of the order.

Unfortunately, Romine really stinks and we can't afford to get Gary a break.

Looks like last year was a flash in the pan for him.

You can still move Gary down in the lineup for now. Can’t really justify him hitting in the heart of the order when he’s been struggling like this.
