Why has Molitor become obsessed with multi-inning relief appearances?

 

 

[h2oface]

 

Have been gone on vacation for a couple weeks. Can someone please tell me why EE isnt playing in plance of Poo-lanco?

 Molitor's reward system. Escobar gets the key clutch pinch hit, and is rewarded with a rest the next game.

[Jerr]

 

By my count this will be 3 guys they haven't gotten in when they are on 3rd with less than 2 outs.

That's REALLY bad baseball my friends.

I made your post a little more accurate

Because Polanco, with his marginal glove, has a better bat. In theory.

 

Meanwhile, when Escobar and Adrianza have been given their chances, they've been hitting.

 

Yeah, I too, am wondering why Polanco is still up with this club.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Feeling squirrelly tonight. Winnable game slipping away!

[h2oface]

My as well let Pressly put on a runner to challenge the next guy.....

[70charger]

Oh good. Breslow's up next.

 

This totally won't become a ****show.

Gashouse gang being summoned. I suspect Belisle is due for another 4 or 5 run outing.

 

Maybe next inning.

well, Polanco is a good guy to have, but he's the third best shortstop right now and should be watching IMO

No options, still very young, lots of potential.

 

He absolutely should be up, but he's in a pretty prolonged slump right now, so I'm not sure why they're running him out there as much as they are. But yeah, he needs to be on the 25-man.

[Suicide Skweez]

It continues to be unbelievable how many guys the Twins leave on base or in scoring position. They will continue to lose games and keep on their skid unless they figure out how to produce in clutch situations and get guys home.

[Aggies7]

Yet ANOTHER rookie bone head throw by Rosario. So tired of it

[John Kelsey]

Rosario just Rosario'd hard. 

[USAFChief]

Unbelievable.

 

Take Rosario out of the game, Molitor.  RIght now.

[Blake]

Yeah, this is very true. It just appalls me that Molitor isn't putting the best players on the field right now.

[Aggies7]

Eww I didn't even notice breslow is on the roster again, and pitching.

[USAFChief]

He's not really leaving Breslow in to face Sanchez, is he?

 

C'mon Molitor.  At least try.

[h2oface]

I would pull Rosario in the middle of the inning, right there. I don't know how else he is going to get the message. What a pea brain.

[Aggies7]

Unbelievable.

 

Take Rosario out of the game, Molitor.  RIght now.

That doesn't happen on this team. Consequences, I mean.

[Kwak]

Breslow left another calling card?

[yarnivek1972]

So at what point is it okay to start questioning the moves of Falvine?

 

Belisle, Breslow and Castro have all proven worthless. Colon doesn't look promising.

[Blake]

 

Unbelievable.

You know Rosario will proceed to redeem himself now that he's done something stupid, right?

 

He always seems to, which is a little maddening.

A month ago, and especially the day he signed the fat boy.

[yarnivek1972]

Unbelievable.

Umm, there are no other outfielders on the roster. You really want pitchers to hit for the next 4 innings?

Haley is/was worthless, those three are merely of marginal value.

One can only hope so.

Can they drive a guy in from third with less than two outs?

opening day. These guys didn't make the team better for 2017 at all, and even worse didn't make them better for the future either.

Don't care about the first, and pitchers wouldn't have to hit regarding the second.

Gimenez can do it! Hell, he started Colon. This was a throw away game before it ever started.
