Wtf is happening? This bullpen is far from fixed.

Hildy's the main problem. Reed, Rodney, Rogers, and Pressly looked good. Pressly looks "fixed" to me. I think Duke will be fine.

[ThejacKmp]

Love Buesnitz. Knock on wood.

[LaBombo]

ESPN salutes the island natives playing in the game, and suddenly I'm hungry for chocolate and sugar-coated cereal. If Berry-O's aren't a real cereal, they should be.

Indians are out of bench players? Just keep plunkin' 'em one by one so we can see Kluber playing infield.

My BAC after this game finally ends.

You convinced me to get out of bed and go downstairs and get another beer. Well played snepp well played.

[Aggies7]

Oh baby!

[USAFChief]

in play, run(s) please

[jud6312]

 

I figured there was no way I'd get home in time to watch baseball tonight. 

 

Boy was I wrong. 

Hildy's got your back, homie.

[Mill1634]

Nice outing Alan. Now lets win this, or the game will be able to drive a car

[Blake]

Double play grounder.

 

Saw that coming.

winner.

[Danchat]

Whoa, nice stuff! I'm on board swapping out Hildy for Busenitz in the bullpen.

[BoofBonser]

Busenitz is a legend among men

Way to go Boozy!  You just won Hildenbergers spot in the pen!

[jud6312]

Good news: Buxton and Kepler should both be eligible to come off the DL by the time this one ends.

Do we have anyone who throws hard enough to hurt someone?

[ThejacKmp]

Smithwicks Red Ale. I'm a Hamm's guy but I'm only human, sometimes I cheat with a classy dame.

[ThejacKmp]

I feel good about Josh Tomlin.

Don't feel bad. I flew all the way to New York tonight and I've seen damn near 9 innings' worth.

Hildy's got your back, homie.

 

Got home in time to watch Encarnacion homer off Hildy. 

 

Finally got a chance to sit down and watch Hildy give up the double. 

 

I'm not saying that Hildy can't be fixed... it's a long season so I will continue to positively support him but he has options and I'm under the impression that he should be sent down to be fixed. 

[Danchat]

For all of the poor play we've had to endure tonight, at least the Twins aren't doing as poorly as another Minnesota sports team that may or may not be losing by 27 points in a playoff game...

[jud6312]

Nah, but they've got pinpoint control so they can aim for soft spots.

my wife works with a woman named Mary Berry. And she is the sweetest.

 

Say the name a few times. Impossible not to smile, right?

[USAFChief]

little young for you, dontcha think?

[BoofBonser]

The ESPN guys are saying these MLB players nowadays don't practice bunting enough

They have obviously never seen the Twins annual spring training bunting drills!

[Riverbrian]

This one gets my vote for Post of the Night. Keep in mind I've only read the last page. 

[jud6312]

On the bright side, at least Hildy didn't let any inherited runners score. Can't say that too often.

 

Granted, there weren't any, but that's neither here nor there.

[Aggies7]

My god hit the weights twice now castro

[USAFChief]

 

Don't feel bad. I flew all the way to New York tonight and boy are my arms tired.

ftfy.
