Game Thread Twins vs Blue Jays, 5/31, 1:10pm CT

Flip side, is Bautista just good at TF or against Twins pitching?  He makes Babe Ruth look like a wimp at Target Field. 

 

I say trade for him.

[adorduan]

Can we DFA Stauffer now, please?  the guy is worthless.....

[Brock Beauchamp]

Nice fundamentals by Pressly there.

[drivlikejehu]

It's weird how Toronto was able to hit Stauffer's 88 mph fastballs down the middle of the plate. Thank goodness the Twins' GM is a savvy scout who knows how to put a bullpen together.

[stringer bell]

I don't like Donaldson's hair.

[USAFChief]

Well, back at 'em, offense.

[curt1965]

This one is on Molly! The guys battled back, and Stauffler gives it back with a pitch that said "hit me"

all over it. Come on, it's not like Stauffler was fooling anyone. They have a 8 man bullpen!!!!!

That just sucks!

CBU: Toronto takes a 5-4 lead on another Donaldson homerun.

 

But now it's the Twins chance to bat in the bottom of the 7th.

 

Oh, and i finally followed up the brainyquote link from the beginning of the thread, and that has like 3 or 4 variations on the quote i was looking for.

 

With a few other good Doyle quotes mixed in.

Jeff Gray > Stauffer? Mind blown.

[hybridbear]

Molitor left Stauffer in there too long. It's time to DFA Stauffer. Bring up someone from AAA like Tonkin to take his place in the bullpen.

... a pitch that said "hit me" ...

Ya, there are several options in AAA. I think the Stauffer experiment is over.

[glunn]

It seems to me that some of the Twins players need to be more patient at the plate.

[drivlikejehu]

This isn't on Molitor. Ryan forced Molitor to use Stauffer... 100% of the responsibility is on TR.

[clank2000]

I'm losing patience with Danny Santana.

[GCTF]

C'mon, Mentorsii.

[JB_Iowa]

Thank Goodness for bad fielding!

[spinowner]

I think Tonkin has to stay down for 10 days except in case of injury. Maybe Thielbar? Or a position player?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Well done Hunter!

 

Are they just picking on Colabello now?

[glunn]

Thank God that Colabello was out there.

[JB_Iowa]

 

I'm losing patience with Danny Santana.

 

OTOH, seems like Hicks has been on base a lot the last few games.

[Craig Arko]

Well, look at that. Fortunately the team doesn't give up as quickly as some of its fans do.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Man, waiving Chris Colabello was such a loss.

 

/snark

[USAFChief]

 

C'mon, Mentorsii.

"Here's what you do when Colabello's in left, boys!"

[stringer bell]

CC in the outfield.........fond memories.

[USAFChief]

I understand the argument, but nobody but Molitor sent Stauffer out for the 7th.

[glunn]

 

Man, waiving Chris Colabello was such a loss.

 

/snark

I think that he could be an asset as a DH.

[mnsportsgeek]

Torii! Come on Joe, give us some breathing room.

[GCTF]

 

Well, look at that. Fortunately the team doesn't give up as quickly as some of its fans do.

Perhaps, but it doesn't change the fact that Stauffer should be optioned to an iceberg in Hudson Bay.
