Bullpen in...I'm scared now!

I see dead people.

[Danchat]

The 7th inning seems a bit early for Reed...

 

Oh poo.

[rghrbek]

Twins have 7 more outs to get...even with Reed in right now, I am not sure how this happens

[USAFChief]

Garver is pretty bad behind the plate.

I'm not one to often defend Molitor's bullpen usage, but I think he was right here.  Bring Reed in to face Stanton and Sanchez.  Let others deal with the bottom of the order in the 8th.  Then hope that Rodney can take care of the rest (gulp).

Garver can't play defense.

[USAFChief]

Garver can't play defense.

bad pitch framer too

concur on all points

Twins have 6 more outs to get...I am not sure how that happens

[Mill1634]

Agree on the Garver front, but who are you gonna have be the backup catcher instead? Also agree on too early for Reed, especially with Pressly being potentially unavailable 

[Circus Boy]

Please, please keep Addison in for the 8th.

[USAFChief]

Please, please keep Addison in for the 8th.

I doubt it, he pitched yesterday.

[bighat]

Twins offense seems disinterested at this point. Bullpen's got one more run to work with here. Duke and Rodney going to do it?

[Jerr]

Please, LaMarre, PAHLEEZE!!!!!

[Danchat]

Finally, a good day for Grossman at the plate. Now, time for one of LaMarre's trademark singles...

[bighat]

Grossman auditioning for that left-handed DH spot.

[slash129]

No Eddie R or LoMo in this situation says a lot.

[wsnydes]

Why is Adrianza far enough off of 2nd to warrant a snap throw from Sanchez?  You're in scoring position already!

[bighat]

A loss here would be very deflating.

[Aggies7]

9 LOB, 4 in scoring position.

 

I don't even need to say what I'm thinking.

[Cap'n Piranha]

So, we essentially just traded LoMo for Esco--is Sano THAT bad at first that we need Morrison in there?  Otherwise this move makes literally no sense.

[Mill1634]

These defensive moves seem like a wash, imo. 

[Mill1634]

Shifting Dozier really makes no sense. Doesn't have the arm to throw from SS. Hell, he can hardly turn double plays. 

[slash129]

Hmm ... Duke in to face two righties and a very patient lefty

[Aggies7]

uh oh

[wsnydes]

Dozier compounding one mistake by making another...

[Mill1634]

Also, if youre going to make all these moves, why not Castro for Garver?

[jud6312]

I'm so glad I'm stuck at work and can't watch this. I have a feeling it's going to end badly.

[nokomismod]

Only listening to the game, but if Rosario was running for Grossman, would he have scored on Adrianza's hit?

[Mill1634]

Very nice inning from the Duke
