We have only two relievers. You want Kinzler to pitch two innings?

We have two relievers?

[LaBombo]

 

 

Hate to say it, but Encarnacion was just better than Pressley in that AB.

 

Yeah. Encarn gets overshadowed by Bautista and now also by Donaldson, but the guy can flat out hit, and not just homers.

[LaBombo]

 

 

Seven runs in, and we're hoping for insurance here in the top of the 8th. Twins Baseball!

Only the 8th?

Actually more than that. Like NORAD, we keep a plane in the air at all times between Rochester and Mpls, with at least one reliever on board at all times!

ProTip: pay no attention to my advice. Technical or otherwise.

We'll want additional reassurance runs in the 9th.

Our other relievers are getting lap dances at The Brass Rail!

No 'likes' left to give... Sad panda is sad.

Can you imagine how happy Grilli must be when pitches well against a good team?

Mindboggled, eh?

 

Who relieves the relievers?

Corgi is sad as well!

Is this like Toto pulling the curtain back?

They're mostly league-minimum type guys with doubtful futures, so maybe not just getting lap dances.

Overmatched bullpen is overmatched.

Right! Like well done dude, you struck out Danny Santana . We're very impressed.

Same people who monitor the monitors of the monitors.

Sigh, the inevitability of unbearability coming.....ugh.

Who relieves the relievers?

If it's the last reliever, they may have to relieve themself 

[LaBombo]

 

Corgi is sad as well!

 

Yes. Corgi is also wiped out by Jays offense, and cannot watch another bullpen implosion...

 

 

 

[operation mindcrime]

You've got to be phucking kidding me!

[spinowner]

Kepler has just increased his level of experience.

[USAFChief]

[HitInAPinch]

if they're going to leave Pressly as a reliever, they gotta shorten that delivery....

[ashbury]

[LaBombo]

 

Huge play by Kepler to cut that off and save a run. Those plays are harder to quantify than balls turned into outs in defensive stat terms, but it reaffirms the eye test of Kepler's net positive defensive game.

 

... oh, and I'm giving out stock tips after the game if anyone wants to stick around.

My game feed cut out. From the looks of these comments, I didn't miss anything good.
