Game Thread: Red Sox @ Twins, 11:10AM PT (1:10PM CT)

Couldn't be hit?

C'mon.

 

It started well off the plate... Why would anybody engage to actually swing at it. If you don't engage... you can't get started and therefore can't hit it. 

 

The only way you hit that ball is if you are just going to jump on anything.

 

Rosario maybe. 

[USAFChief]

Just put it on a tee, Belisle.

[Aggies7]

Ah, thought batting practice started about 7 hours ago..

[snepp]

WE SURRENDER!

[AZTwin]

A couple more pitchers we need to DFA

[USAFChief]

Not impressed with the new regime's pitching additions.

[notoriousgod71]

There are at least five bullpen meltdowns per week.

[Blake]

The Twins are getting the fielding and they've put some runs on the board. The bullpen just isn't up to the task.

[Craig Arko]

Belisle DFA'd after this game?

[GCTF]

I look forward to flipping Belisle for a half eaten bag of chips later this season.

[notoriousgod71]

Belisle with a touching tribute to Tonkin today.

[Aggies7]

Wow, with all due respect to the attempts at positivity, this was a brutal game. All on the staff.

[twinsnorth49]

They better have someone buying the bus ticket as we speak.

 

**** me, what was that?

I once got a Dome Dog that came with an unopened but empty bag of chips. That sounds more suitable.

On the bright side:  At least everyone in Twins Territory can now agree this bullpen blows.

Not his point though.

I probably should pay better attention to the thread, rather than the game.

[wavedog]

We certainly have brought Boston's bats back to life.  

[Danchat]

Man, this Red Sox lineup is really good. Our bullpen is also a complete disaster, but let's give Boston credit where they deserve. This looks like a World Series contender.

One last, then you can have the last word.

[Circus Boy]

That escalated quickly.

[yarnivek1972]

I can't wait for Paul to explain why he didn't use his closer in the 9th in a one run game with the muscle due up. Kintzler didn't pitch yesterday. Tomorrow is an off day. Belisle is all smoke and mirrors. What are you saving him for?

[wavedog]

We could use a strikeout pitcher in the bullpen.

[snepp]

 

We could use a strikeout pitcher in the bullpen.

 

Or five.

[snepp]

Haley in on the action.

[Riverbrian]

8 runs is the most dangerous lead in sports

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

It's a shame the team couldn't get over the hump today, with the big rallies and other good performances.*

 

 

* good from what I can tell by watching MLB game day 

[BlackJackMorris]

WOW... Bullpen has just been confirmed. Brutal

[notoriousgod71]

Haley with a touching tribute to Matt Belisle.

[yarnivek1972]

We could use a strikeout pitcher in the bullpen.

We could use an ANY out pitcher in the bullpen.
