Article: Game Thread: Twins v Astros, 5/29 @ 1:10pm CT

This is on Paul.

 

You bring up two pitchers..to sit there and watch???

 

Instead of going with these two new arms you use Press and Breslow who eached pitched 25 pitches, and now you are going with someone who pitched 30 pitches yesterday. This is just silly. If you have no faith in Drew or Jason, why even bring them up?

 

Stupid.  

[Jerr]

PLEASE STOP THE MADNESS!!!!

[TwinsCD]

How's it possible for it to take 2/3 of an inning in a 6-run game to give your ace a ND.  Fire everyone in that bullpen.

[Kwak]

Plop drop, fizz (le), fizz(le). Oh what a relief it ISN'T!

[twins_89]

This is far worse than what I thought the worst case scenario for the bullpen would be coming into the game. What's left of the bullpen couldn't even cover an inning in a game with a 6 run lead.

[BoofBonser]

If we swapped our MLB bullpen with our AA bullpen, I guarantee we'd see improvement

 

This is disgusting

[Halsey Hall]

Well this sucks.  I had a feeling.

[Puckett34]

Balks will haunt....or something

[amjgt]

Seriously... every single thing that could go wrong, has gone wrong in the last two days

[Aggies7]

Just when I was starting to believe, they do it to me again. Fool m once..

[jorgenswest]

No reason to expect Breslow or rest of the bullpen to have anything after yesterday. Why make the moves if you aren't going to use the fresh arms to protect a 5 run lead?

[Kwak]

I wonder if Danny Santana woulda caught that one?

[DocBauer]

"Should have gotten a live chicken."

[yarnivek1972]

The entire bullpen is garbage. Maybe time to blame the people that put the bullpen together??

Maybe don't use tired arms with a 6 run lead when you have fresh ones??

[BoofBonser]

Would anyone be mad if the crowd boo'd this team off the field?

Stupid.  

Spot-on observation.  I was listening to the game in the car when I went to grab some food during a work break and thought, 'ok, get Erv thru the 7th and then let Rucinski and Wheeler handle the business the rest of the way and we'll be fine.'   The pen got obliterated yesterday and it was important to get everyone a rest, especially when your offense explodes and your starter gets you 7.  Very messy.

If there are people on the roster that Molitor doesn't trust. 

 

They shouldn't be on the roster. 

 

 

 

[glunn]

For the love of God please bring in one of the young guys.

[amjgt]

All we need was one guy to make one damn play

[Danchat]

Pressly needs a trip to AAA, Belisle needs to be DFA'd, Breslow needs rest. Call up Busenitz and Boshers.

 

It's hard to believe this team has the record it does, but two tough losses do not equal a lost season.

Crappy fresh arms still stink

This has to be the breaking point with some of these relievers.

[Mill1634]

They shouldn't be on the roster. 

Or Molitor shouldn't be in charge of playing people on said roster.

[DocBauer]

Do I get slapped if I say something about the Twins having 2 more innings to attempt a rally?

[Mill1634]

George Springer is the happiest person in the state right now. 

[Rosterman]

You have a game with a 6-run lead, perfect time to try out the new guy from the minors but......nah...............wait, did they miss the Rochester shuttle? Maybe someone else needs to be put on it!

Yeah he kicked the can down the road. What happens if we need bullpen tomorrow. 

 

This one can be pinned on Molitor. 

[Puckett34]

Are you kidding me?

[pbrezeasap]

Rucinski about to go 4 up 4 down

[BoofBonser]

This team I tell ya what. !@#$!!!!!!!!!
