If the Twins are keeping Belisle due to his locker-room presence, maybe they should just make him some sort of assistant coach instead of letting him continue to blow games.

Hi Van,

 

As always, I'm looking for some hawt taeks. Just curious if you have the inside scoop on why Belisle is on the roster

 

 

That taek is so hot I'm afraid your laptop will combust into flames. For your safety, I'm withholding that information.

We just saw him pitch again, so we're willing to risk it.

I know the FO signed Belisle, but, why is Molitor using him when there are other options?

 

Of course, MoY did say there was no one in Triple A he wanted to see, so, I guess there's no youngster in the pen MoY wants to see either.

He only has so many choices to use. In the 6th inning, MOY isn't going to use Hildy, Rodney, or Reed, and Moya has pitched 3 days in a row. Reed or May would have been a good choice, but this is just as much on the front office as it is in Molitor imo. Clearly Molly trusts Matt, but if the front office wouldn't have made the horrible choice to sign him, and then the even worse choice to keep him up here, Molitor wouldn't be able to use him.

And if they are, who, exactly, is he mentoring? The bullpen isn't exactly filled with young players. Nor is the OF or INF.....so, I am still boggled. Mind. boggled.

I miss JT Chargois and do not understand why.... Sorry I'll stop

 

It would be really nice to have JT Chargois or Randy Rosario (or soon Nick Burdi) instead of Belisle. Maybe the Pirates will stay in contention and send Burdi back when he comes off the DL in a couple of weeks.

I gotta say, I can't decide if I love this, or hate this, take.....as there are layers to unfurl.....

Ol CB not having a good night

 

 

Has he ever?

Sure, the umpires get days off occasionally. I bet he went to the movies Monday night.

It was the 7th, no?

 

Why NOT Reed?  Or May?

Tito brings in his natsy closer to finish off the top of the order in the 7th

MOY brings in Matty B in same situation

 

How they do?

You think he saw “the shining”?

The difference there is he had a good chance of making that play. The one the other night, he had next to no chance at all of making the catch but still dove for it anyways.

We just saw him pitch again, so we're wiling to risk it.

As we all know, MoY owns a 1983 DeLorean DMC-12... It's public information! So he drives back in time to July 2017 and fondly relives every single moment of good Matty B... Ohh those were the days weren't they?! Molly remembers every perfect pitch and calls for Matty B EARLIER in the game... This is all in an alternate universe that only he knows. And Matty B is so good!

 

Luckily he has an alarm set on his watch to fly back to the current date, and call up ol' reliable Matty B! When things go south like they do today, at least he can drive back in time to July 2017... And relive the glory days!

 

Has any reputable reporter asked MoY if he knows what year it is? Or the current date? Good God, the media is soft.

Reed looks like he has the flu or something.

He did, but at least he got outs. How do you use Belisle in a 1 run game and then Reed in a 3 run game?!

Didn't Reed's fastball sit around 92 mph earlier in the season? Throwing 89-90 mph is a little concerning.

I think Santana and Reed could use a nice, long break until next year's spring training.
