Game Thread Sun. 7/15: Twins vs. Tampa Bay, 1:10 pm CT

If the thought was that this was the key time of the game and therefore bring in the closer...I'm ok with that but...then bring him in when it's 3-1 not after starter gives up another run

 

You're either gonna do it or you're not...make a decision and be decisive...ugh

[Shaitan]

Maybe Molitor is trying to get fired?

[mickeymental]

or maybe he's a stable genius?

[VATwinsFan]

Too bad the Twins can't bring in Roundhouse Rodney (ask your Twin Cities raised parents/grandparents if you don't know who that is) to, you know, keep this same name replacement thing going.

[Shaitan]

 

The way these two idiots run through their pitching staffs makes this game impossible to watch.

 

It's like the All Star Game, just minus the talent.

Almost seems like he's showcasing his best relievers for potential trade partners.

Or keep score. You need an attachment to the scorecard to track all of the pitchers. Typical scorecards don't have nearly enough pitcher slots for a typical game anymore, let alone this type of bullpen usage.

"Trade me too!?"

"Pretty please???"

Actually attended a taping of Casey Jones as a little tyke...I remember Casey stepping on my fingers when walking down the steps

 

Fast-Forward to 5:50 to be amazed at what we were subjected to ask kids

All they need is a Kepler-Bomb to make this game last 4 hours

Not really sure I like the idea of using the closer in the 5th inning of a 3 run game. It screams “we give up”.

 

Pathtetic Molitor. Absolutely pathetic. Just fire him now.

[jkcarew]

Unwatchable. (But I’ll have it on in the garage.) (:

For  just two batters no less.

[tvagle]

Should be plenty of good seats available for 14 of last 17 games

 

White Sox - 4

Royals - 4

Tigers - 6

[Aggies7]

Hateee the bunt there

[Blake]

I'm going with Rodney has been traded and, if the Twins come back, Hildenburger will get the ninth.

[Aggies7]

Wonder how big this inning could have been if we didn’t bunt with our decently hitting 8th hitter

[tvagle]

Hope Rays still have the analytic guy on staff and they walk Doze to get to The Stick here

Have to believe that was Cave's choice...trying for a hit there

[S.]

It's nice when it's the other team making embarrassing plays instead of us.

[Aggies7]

Yay!

[Nine of twelve]

Got home just in time to see these 3 runs score. Thank you for the throwing error.

[Nine of twelve]

Dozier does a Rosario to induce the balk!!!!!!!

[bighat]

Beeeeutiful way to tie things up there. Put the ball in play, aggressive baserunning, love it.

[Aggies7]

Wow

[S.]

Oh boy, this is getting chippy

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Any lip readers out there?

[bighat]

Hey hey! Dozier pulling a Rosario there! Nice work fellas, good to see some grit.

[Aggies7]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen the twins have a real brawl
