Twins vs Reds, 4/29/18 @ 1:10 PM CT

[VATwinsFan]

This is not going to help improve the Twins ERA ranking of 28th out of 30 teams.

Why take Berrios out already? And lord I am done with Taylor Rogers. Get him to AAA already. 

 

Looks like he was scattershot today.  Why wouldn't he be taken out?

Because he was only at 60 pitches and our bullpen stinks. He still gives you the best chance to hold it at 4 and come back. 

[howeda7]

Dick's being critical of Rogers, hopefully that means he's been given permission by the Twins and we're near the end. 

[Blake]

Who is Matt MaGill?

[bighat]

Here comes Mr. Magoo. Can't get any worse.

[hybridbear]

Why can't the Twins turn any double plays today? I've been listening on the radio in Spanish so I haven't seen any videos, but it sounds like they've missed some opportunities. And what they heck was up wth Mauer throwing to 2nd instead of home with the bases loaded and no outs?!?!?

[PDX Twin]

 

Who is Matt MaGill?

 

The ex-Dodger for whom we effectively traded Chargois.

[Riverbrian]

 

Dozier could have stopped the bleeding. 

[wsnydes]

Who is Matt MaGill?

The latest guy to get added to the 40 man and DFA'd after their first appearance with the big league club?

Slow Choppers is the answer for all your questions

[snepp]

Make it stop.

[slash129]

5 double plays not turned ... Yuck!

[mrmpls]

Dozier wasent given a error=  Comical Gold glover, 

[Aggies7]

Who’s going to be the first member of the coaching staff fired for this s*** show?

[slash129]

Magill's got a case of the Hildenbergers ... Make sure he let's all the other guy's runners score

[Mike Sixel]

So glad the master plan of bringing in old, never good, pitchers is working so well. Anyone got evidence the front office is good at this?

[wsnydes]

So double plays are possible today...

Broken Bat Single

Ground Ball that Dozier should have had

Strikeout

 

I'm still ready to give him the chance he hasn't gotten yet. 

[Blake]

 

 

Dozier could have stopped the bleeding. 

Yeah, but with the limb half gone, not sure a tourniquet is going to do much good other than allow the victim to make it to the hospital.

[slash129]

Dozier wasent given a error= Comical Gold glover,

There have been a ton of "hits" that looked more like errors this whole season. It's like the official scorers have been instructed to help pad both hitter and fielder stats.

Don't ya just hate games where none of the bats, arms, or gloves bother to show up?

I suppose if you dig deep enough into every back alley dumpster you'll find something with an unpolished silver lining ... Just seems like more of the same to me

[wsnydes]

It's so strange watching a 2B fire a ball to 1B. I'm so used to Dozier lazily tossing balls over to 1B.

[Riverbrian]

Probably is

 

But until it happens... let him keep tossing. It's not like the rest of the options are rock solid at the moment. 

 

He's hitting 96 on the gun... hasn't walked anybody. So far so good. 

[Riverbrian]

I do

[yarnivek1972]

At what point will people stop saying it’s early?

 

Losing 5 of 6 to Tampa and Cincinnatti is not something a contender does.

[wsnydes]

Is it just me, or do the Reds do a really nice job of going with a pitch and slapping it the other way? I wish the twins would do that more instead of rolling a ball over weakly to the pull side.

 

At least this has been the case for the Reds today anyway.

So you leave him in to keep getting pounded?

 

Sorry, I just can't agree on any level with that. It's unfair to Berrios to be punished because the bullpen stinks.

You were saying?
