ANNND Welcome Back! To Minnesota Twins Whine Line on a Sunday. How neat was that game yesterday?! The International Space Station captured Vargas' HR leaving our atmosphere yesterday! And Berrios did

Rubechat appears to be dead, but someone told me there were forums over here.  I had no idea.  I've read through most everything this morning on the main page, and I love it already.  Much more respec

Belisle pitched yesterday.  Why in heaven's name do you just let him blow a game like that?     There is no defending Molitor here.  Much like when he had two fresh arms brought up SPECIFICALLY becaus

Belise is dfa'd, right? This dude is, has been terrible all year.

I think he has to be. It's June 11 and his ERA is over 8 now. We can't keep using the couple bad games excuse at this point. No point in keeping him as a long/mop up man if he's going to be this bad either

I'm being serious, I didn't see yesterday's game and half of Friday's. Were the better guys unavailable?

Probably didn't want to use Duffey and Rogers and Kintzler probably were being saved for 8th and 9th.

 

I get the angst, but not like Molitor has many options here.

Can you imagine the reaction from other teams/fans when the Twins trot out a guy with a ERA above 8 to protect a one-run lead in the 7th or 8th inning?

 

They have to be equal parts baffled and giddy.

 

This is why I always catch flak from the Midwest folks, being an east coast guy. Some fan bases would run you out of town for the in game management of PM

Why in God's name did they leave him in that long?

 

I've been a huge Molitor supporter. But, you could pluck a member of an uncontacted tribe from the Amazon and get better bullpen management.

 

This still goes back to the FO, who were touted by everyone as young pitching savants. Their one move was Belisle. It's going to cost this team a division championship and playoff birth.

I was being serious, too. I don't know what the thinking was. Have no clue.

That is the truth. Can't throw the same dudes every game.

Some of us were ready to run Molitor out of town for his in game management a couple of weeks ago. Well, one of us, any way. Okay, I admit it, I was ready.
