Good thing LaMarre and Dozier were able to move Garver over, so he scored on that hit.

 

Oh, wait, I was in that alternate universe again, where Spock has the goatee...

 

[Mill1634]

Wow. clearly went

[Blake]

I'd have bet money Lynn didn't make to the sixth.

[Mill1634]

Great outing from Lynn. Wonder if they let him go out for the 7th

[Don Walcott]

No way Lynn goes out for the 7th. Just saw MOY shake his hand.

[Mill1634]

ROBBIE!!!!!

 

WOO. That was huge!

[Don Walcott]

Wow. That has to be the longest homer of Grossman’s career.

[Don Walcott]

422 feet!

[Mill1634]

This ump is horrible

[Don Walcott]

No way that was strike three. This ump is TERRIBLE!

[bighat]

This ump is really brutal tonight. Guess it happens sometimes but sheesh.

[gil4]

 

This ump is horrible

Sano finally manages to lay off the pitch down and away, and it gets called a strike.

[mrmpls]

Its pressley, at least he starts a inning clean,  might help ?

[notoriousgod71]

Can we please not bring Pressly into a one run game ever again? Please?

[David HK]

Oh, boy.  Between Lance Lynn throwing his 200th pitch, or Pressly, I'm going with Lynn here.

 

Is it too early for the concept of the RPE?

[bighat]

So help me if Pressley gives up this lead.

[mrmpls]

Instead of 100 being the so-called rule - Molly should go with lynn to 120 he can handle it, and if he cant = one year contract , is all he is on!

They all should be.

[Mill1634]

Pressly needs to go to the DL. Only way Molitor won't use him.

[mrmpls]

 

So help me if Pressley gives up this lead.

IF ?

[Mill1634]

Wow. Pressly has sure fallen off a cliff recently. 

[TwinsCD]

When can we DFA Pressly?  It's something that should have been done in October.

[Squirrel]

Well, ****. I’m so tire of this team.

[David HK]

Good call, MoY.

 

Good pitch, RPE.

 

Let's just go ahead and p*ss away another winnable game.

[bighat]

Oh you've got to be kidding. Can we stop defending Pressley now and just call him what he is? A one-out specialist who is below average as soon as the 2nd batter he faces comes to the plate.

[mrmpls]

ON Molly with pressley, getting old!!

[VATwinsFan]

There’s a guy named Busenitz who is doing pretty well in Rochester. Just a thought.

[Mill1634]

Doesn't help he is tied in the AL for appearances. Molitor has to find someone else he can trust. They need to get Curtis or Busenitz up here.

[Jham]

imagine if Presley were our closer and Rodney dfa'd and picked up by Cleveland like many wanted a month ago.

[S.]

Why does Molitor keep using Pressly in these 1 run situations after he's shown that he absolutely cannot be trusted at all currently? Good lord. Let him throw some mop up innings to try to get some confidence back or something. Or just rest him because this was his 33rd appearance already this season.
