Game Thread: Twins @ Rays 4/22 @ 12:10 PM CT

[Twodogs]

Kepler has done ok against leftys so far this year.

Der Kommissar.

 

From my Radio days... I recall that Kommissar means Public Official in German. 

 

I'm feeling a little strange cheering for a public official. 

[Blake]

Okay, I think I just spotted something the powers-that-be should have thought of:

 

I think it was pretty much a given that Hughes would have short start today, which means the Twins will use up a good chunk of the bullpen before they head to New York. A bullpen I can see the Twins needing against New York.

 

And with all the games to be played over the next two or three weeks, this seems like setting yourself up to over-stress the bullpen.

[Aggies7]

Thank god the bullpen still stinks. I wouldn’t be able to handle a good one.

I was hoping for the same from Rogers.

Powers-that-be: "And?"

[Mill1634]

Holy cow Eddie...

[Aggies7]

Another horrendous throw from the outfield.

[Riverbrian]

LOL... What Rosario just did can't be justified at the Major League Level. 

[snepp]

Rosari-oh boy.

[USAFChief]

On average, that throw from Rosario was dead on the money to both home and third.

[Vanimal46]

WTF Rosario

[Danchat]

Is this the fourth straight game with an awful throw by a Twins outfielder?

 

And why are these no-name batters teeing off Rogers?

[wsnydes]

I see the Rosario Circus is in town today...

[LaBombo]

Rosario with an absolute laser throwout, if home plate were in Orlando.

[Platoon]

Actually the spin morphed to "you don't have to throw 95 if you hit your spots."

>>>>>>>>> and have a big fat contract! FTFY

Yeah... that's why I would have thrown Odorizzi if it's my call. It wasn't my call. 

 

I called but the person on the other end of the phone said it wasn't my call.

Rogers? How about all our pitchers? A brutal brutal series for the staff

[LaBombo]

The tiny team bus in the visiting team parking area was the early giveaway.

[Riverbrian]

 

Powers-that-be: "And?"

 

Lucile Ball?

[USAFChief]

 

WTF Rosario

be honest...you had this copied and saved from previous game threads, amiright?

[GardyParty]

atta Busenitz

[Mill1634]

Remember when we thought this bullpen was good a few weeks ago? Me too. 

[Aggies7]

my god

[USAFChief]

oh-two.

 

FFS.

 

[Nine of twelve]

Oy.

[Puckett34]

****

[Riverbrian]

See... Now we are all wishing that Phil Hughes was still pitching. 

[wsnydes]

This series has been brutal to watch.

[Aggies7]

Even worse than losing to a bad team is losing to a bad team with no fans.
