[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Good lord May looks discombobulated

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Bear Down.

 

 

[ashbury]

Who still is lobbying for May as closer in Perkins's absence?

[Gibby]

Wasn't hoping for this kind of drama.

[Jham]

Molitor probably should have gotten May after the 4 pitch walk... I also leave Duffey in...

[blairpaul715]

Im glad I ate popcorn, now i have the bag to puke in if i need it.

One thing Duffey (and Suzuki) should know is that after you strike out a guy with three curves in the dirt, the next guy WILL be looking for the curve, so don't throw the "get me over" first pitch curve. Instead, throw the curve in the dirt, or a fastball low and in.

 

Unless... Suzuki is thinking that the batter is thinking that Suzuki is thinking no curve again so therefore... Curve again.. 

[Halsey Hall]

Mauer made a heck of a stretch just to keep it to one run.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Molitor messed up taking Duffey out, unfortunately

[mikeee]

sucktastic....

Ha I proclaimed him the future closer in the other forum.  He didn't have it today...

Managing rookies isn't straightforward.

[blairpaul715]

It was time for Duffey to go, even with the way things turned out......Didnt want Duffey to lose it after pitching so well.

[Squirrel]

Well, crap. I'm blaming Chief.

[Riverbrian]

 

dang!  break out the vodka!!!

 

That reminds me... I've been planning on participating in a game thread after heavy drinking. 

 

I still need to execute that plan. 

[ScrapTheNickname]

gut check time!

 

(vomit)

[Whammy]

Well that's going to ruin my day

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I actually typed this the pitch before the grad slam, not that anyone feels better about it

[formerly33]

DAMMIT MAY!!!!

[TwinsCD]

 

*STANDING OVATION*

 

Nice game, Duff.  Bullpen will take it from here.

 

 

Take it and flush it down the toilet.  Nice outing you dumb **** May.

no way

[Squirrel]

gads. ugh.

[ashbury]

It's time for me to depart for the chick-flick with my wife anyway. Good timing, huh. See you.

[Ultima Ratio]

aye-ya-aye-ya-aye....

[mikecgrimes]

Fire Paul Molitor, showing up your third base coach and third baseman on an inconclusive play is pathetic.  How many games is he going to decide not to do everything in his power to win.  Yeah the end result would have 99% of been the call on the field but it's the 7th inning.  That is complete incompetence.

[Hrbowski]

Why didn't they bring in Cotts? They knew that the only thing the Astros could have done was counter with Mr. K George Springer.

[Jham]

All Provis talked about was the change in momentum after Molitor refused to challenge the call at third.  He also commented that bunting is not Escobar's strength and that he hit a home run in his last at bat...
