Think i would rather see Romero - More of a future piece of the rotation- even Moya over this guy

meant Meija

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Atta boy Dozier! Increase that trade value

[launchingthrees]

 

Maybe now's a good time to mention that I've insisted that Slegers profiles as a long reliever and not even as a 5th starter?
 

Oof, another XBH. We're gonna be seeing Magill pretty soon.

 

Yeah. That's his only potential path to the majors. No velocity, no spin, no movement as a starter.

[Foghorn Leghorn]

We sent down Romero for this guy? Romero has the way higher ceiling. This season is shot, let the young (actually good) guys play.

You're just piling on!

[mrmpls]

Molly- checked and they got a 9 pm rochester xpress flight, See ya!!

[tbhysgb]

And with that Slegers earned a plane ride back to Rochester.  

[tvagle]

If those were called from the bench...or that was the game plan because he's young...that's just dumb

[Danchat]

Well, they sent him down for a reliever, then Mejia, then Slegers. But your point is correct, it's time to get him back up here. He'll be better than Odorizzi and Lynn, that's for sure.

 

Oh, and the Royals haven't scored 6 or more runs in a game in the last 30 games?! Holy cow, this team's bad. Too bad we've got to burn our bullpen against them.

[slash129]

 

This is a prime example of what happens when you just throw FB-FB-FB-FB-FB-FB-FB-FB-FB

 

89-89-89-89-89-89-89-89-89-89

 

Nervous or not you have to mix things up either pitch wise or velocity

 

As I type this 89-89-89-89-89

 

He had me fooled after being so effective in relief for 5 innings and then that Orioles start.  Just batting practice today.

[tvagle]

Ah...now I see why Slegers only threw FB....Garver unable to handle the duece down the middle from Rogers...drops the ball...yikes

I think that shows how bad Baltimore has been.

They’re seriously playing bums like Sleger over Romero.... I’m losing confidence in this front office more and more.

[slash129]

Slegers probably going down after the game for Duffey.  That's my call.  Then Duffey will get sent down for whoever lines up for the Sunday start from Littell, Romero or Mejia.

[tbhysgb]

I can tolerate Mejia, prefer Romero and definately don't want to see Littell back anytime soon.

[BoofBonser]

We need baserunners... why would you even test Alex Gordon?

[Brock Beauchamp]

Jesus ****ing Christ.

 

I hate this team so much.

 

No outs, you jackass.

[slash129]

That is some dumb running down 5-1, and for Morrison probably every time.

[operation mindcrime]

And with that Slegers earned a plane ride back to Rochester.

In an animal cage in cargo hold!

[tbhysgb]

 

In an animal cage in cargo hold!

That was the cheapest flight after all.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

they sent Romero down for service time consideration, since we’re selling anyways and the season is lost, might as well avoid super 2 with Romero

[Mike Sixel]

Jesus ****ing Christ.

 

I hate this team so much.

 

No outs, you jackass.

THIS is how we baseball....

[slash129]

See, Morrison, Kennedy want to give back this game.  Gawd!!

[Brock Beauchamp]

Gee, it could have been first and second, no outs.

 

"Never make the first or last out at third base."

 

Little League stuff, fellas.

[Linus]

LoMo is bad. A butcher in the field and limited as a hitter. I think his base running abilities were just on display. Get rid of this guy

[Brock Beauchamp]

This just reeks of the Twins letting a really bad pitcher off the hook all night.

[Brock Beauchamp]

 

This team is managed by idiots.

That was all Morrison. The runner, especially a veteran, is not looking to the coaches for direction on a double to left field.

 

That's on him.

[Mike Sixel]

This just reeks of the Twins letting a really bad pitcher off the hook all night.

Could have stopped thirteen words sooner....

[Han Joelo]

 

Not watching the game, so this is how I pictured Logan's Run.
