Leaving Hildy in just manufactured a little late game pressure

 

Brilliant move by Molly...he's thinking ahead to October when the fellas will really feel the heat...that's how you win MOY!

[Mill1634]

Logan Morrison is a special kind of stink 

[Don Walcott]

Poop Train again.

[VATwinsFan]

I'm feeling a Walk Off Rodney situation here.

[tvagle]

Jaime's Revenge

[Mill1634]

Polanco had 80 days off, and apparently decided to spend roughly 3 of them facing a lefty thrower. 

[Aggies7]

So the blown 8th inning lead followed by a weak as could be top of the 9th. I got a feeling

[yarnivek1972]

I have a call: Kepler HR

[mrmpls]

Logan is Lost , and nice managing the LAST Inning paul. i get all this shifting, not a fan, But if your gonna do it , why dont the pitchers pitch into it, or at least look like there trying to ??

[Cap'n Piranha]

Molitor does not understand the importance of rest for relievers.  Falvine is going to have to start locking Pressly, Duke, and Hildenberger in their hotel rooms the game after pitching.

I didn’t say today.

I said this in another place, but the shifting seems weird to me, as teams shift towards what the hitter wants to do, not what the pitcher is going to try and make him do.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

That shift last inning was brutal.

 

If and when this team falls out of it I'd like to see Molitor in the front office and Falvey managing in the dugout in September.

[Mill1634]

Magill is farther down the pole than Besilie? Yikes. Why is he even on the team then?

[mrmpls]

6.66 era, Hmmm. 

[Aggies7]

HERE

WE

GO

Inning?

[VATwinsFan]

 

I'm feeling a Walk Off Rodney situation here.

Or maybe not.

[Don Walcott]

Go get ‘em Matty!

[jtkoupal]

Guys help me out.

 

Why is Belisle pitching the 9th inning and not Rodney?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Where was Matt "Inherited Runner Strander" Belisle?

Here he is.

 

Your third wish cannot be "a hundred more wishes"

 

[Don Walcott]

Guys help me out.

 

Why is Belisle pitching the 9th inning and not Rodney?

We are on the road. So it makes sense to save him for a save opp.

[Aggies7]

Man, this is gonna hurt bad, isn’t it?

[mrmpls]

6.66 era score 6-6. number 6 hitter up?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Man, this is gonna hurt bad, isn’t it?

yessir it is

[Otto von Ballpark]

Need to tell Belisle to pretend these are inherited runners...

[tvagle]

SMH

[VATwinsFan]

Blow a game like this and then head to Boston for 4 games.

 

This should work out well.

Was thinking exactly that.

 

Though I didn’t like the chances either way.

[yarnivek1972]

Solarte is pretty good at not striking out.
