It would be nice if that was a picture of Molitor giving his post game interview

FIFY.

What could possibly go wrong?

 

 

[PDX Twin]

Clutch hit for Kepler.

[Mike Sixel]

Vargas is what he is. The issue is not stealing, or using your hottest hitter to sacrifice, and then when you get lucky, not sacrificing when you should. Just awful.

[Riverbrian]

 

I live in Gallatin, TN (not far from Nashville) and work for an Israeli company.

 

Gallatin... Not far from Nashville... Not far from Jell-O

The chicken/terrible GM trading our closer for a couple of nobodies bites us in the ass again.

 

To be fair, we haven't had a closer all year. If Kintzler was a closer, he would be closing for the Nats. Belisle certainly isn't one either.

[Pius Jefferson]

 No duh statement. You don't challenge the best home run hitter with a 0-2 count and one run lead with a hitter having a horrible season on deck.

[diehardtwinsfan]

me thinks Dozier should have bunted

[TwinsCD]

Come on Dozier....wait him out a little bit, especially after that crazy first pitch!

[Mike Sixel]

Must really bother the manager he won't be able to bunt with his three hitter....

[Darius]

Dozier really needs to take good a good AB there and advance runners in that situation, rather than trying to hit a 500 ft homer every time.

 

You have the hottest hitter in the MLB behind you. Be a team player.

[LaBombo]

 

I knew it was bad when I heard our closer has been in pro ball since before 9/11

 

We should be used to the old guy talk. Last time Colon pitched Gladden started naming the species that have become extinct since Bartolo first roamed the plains of baseball's Pleistocene Era.

Clutch Mauer.  Take two and hit into a DP.

[Aggies7]

Clutch pop up by brian who has been pretty stinky aside from this last tuesday

[amjgt]

The guy's doing a full effing leg kick and we don't send Kepler?

[snepp]

I liked it better when they didn't play extra inning games.

[Puckett34]

Just setting up for Rosario in the 10th.

[drock2190]

Wow that Ramirez guy doesn't have an earned run all year (minors included)

[h2oface]

All three pitches to Joe, right down the middle of the zone. Some would call those mistakes. They seem to be when our pitchers throw pitches there.

[LaBombo]

 

Clutch Mauer.

 

Now that he drives an automatic, the guys in his car club call him The Cruiser.

Then let's pop this clutch, and get the offense started...

[Aggies7]

I honestly don't know if I can take another 16 games of this. Always a struggle

Hey..... it was only 0-1. Does that make it OK?

The only time when it might actually make sense to bunt, which is rare, Molly doesn't.

[Danchat]

My speculation yesterday was correct, Gee's the next man up in extra innings. Let's hope he can hold 'em...

If it's me, I let Dozier hit.  He just didn't get it done.

Game.

[Aggies7]

Wonder where a loss tonight would rate

It would suck to get beat by Barney.

[snepp]

Gee wiz, who'da thunk it.
