I think it's time to give Duffy a shot as the closer. I can't take much more Kintzler. 

[Aggies7]

Can't hit for one inning and call it quits either ya know.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Falvey, currently looking for bullpen help.

 

Falvey's got this.

Is that a chicken dinner on that table?

[mickeymental]

probably shoulda gone with gimenez.

[drock2190]

Looks like a sweep in Seattle. They have the home run bats and Gibby pitching tomorrow

Self reply...especially against a struggling starter who you allow to go 7

[David HK]

Well, no chicken today.  

 

I'll have to settle for these:

It's inevitable. Out of his 15 saves, only 4 have been clean. That's too much playing with fire.

Is he available?

[Pius Jefferson]

You give up 2 home runs to Mike Zunino you don't deserve to win.

[kydoty]

On a bad team, it really doesn't matter who the closer is.

 

That was last year. This cannot continue if we are expected to compete for the division throughout the summer.

[Dr. Evil]

That hurt my feelings.

[Kwak]

Wow!  People forget Kinzler saved 2 games in Anaheim.  Tough crowd!

[LaBombo]

 

We don't have any automatic bullpen options but I'm confident in the majority of the bullpen when rested.

 

On a purely intellectual level I understand your argument, if not actually quite agreeing with it.

 

On a more visceral one, speaking as someone who stayed up until midnight to see the Twins bullpen lose the game just seconds after you posted that, I briefly enjoyed imagining the satisfaction of kicking you in the junk.

 

But I'm ok now, because Scotch.

Check his locker, might be over there in it crying

Drafted 3 spots behind Buxton I believe. So.... he should be worse, right?

[snepp]

 

 

Ok, I'm done.

Midnight? You got off easy you central time living sucker

Angel's offense is on par with a triple A club with Trout out.

It's after midnight. Like Eric Clapton, we're gonna let it all hang down.

Dick Bremer 2.5 hours ago:

"That lineup still has Albert Pujols"

[Whammy]

Ps. Dick Bremer just corrected to "Sick Bremerton"

 

I like that way better

[Sam Morley]

So terrible. Kintzler gets gifted a strike on a 2-0 count off the plate and then instead of extending the zone even further or coming back inside or throwing a different pitch, he throws the same pitch at the same elevation only over the corner instead of off. Kintzler is not a closer. This bullpen needs to be managed non traditionally according to matchups. Kintzler has no business being entitled to the ninth.

[drock2190]

Okay Everyone, RELAX.

 

We claimed Chris Heston today. 

[Aggies7]

Imagine him as our closer on the road in s playoff game, who we kidding here folks

[Aggies7]

You had the feeling this would happen when we spent our final four ABs doing nothing

[LaBombo]

 

Well, no chicken today.

Or the Kintzler Special, Lizard on a Stick:

His agent was right to advocate strongly for the name change.
