Hey...what does DNA stand for?

Did spell check change this from DFA? 

[USAFChief]

 

Did spell check change this from DFA? 

ha.  incorrect, but probably better than my answer.

[tvagle]

3rd deck Granny and a parrot trot?

[USAFChief]

I don't often complain about balls and strikes but Bucknor is bad.

[Mill1634]

Actually want a grand slam here so there is a higher chance Matty B is DFA'd

[Aggies7]

That 2-0 pitch should have been hit to Duluth

[Aggies7]

And that should do it. Nice capper to the day

[operation mindcrime]

Nice to see Belisle end the month on a positive note!

[S.]

 

I can't imagine any other reason

He cooks a mean BBQ? He knows all the pretty single women? He hacked Falvey's gmail account and has some serious blackmail?

[Nine of twelve]

Buh-bye Belisle.

[tvagle]

Why?

[USAFChief]

I want to hear the reasoning for Matt Belisle against the top of the order in a 3-2 game.

[BoofBonser]

Why was Belisle allowed to face Lindor, Brantley, AND Encarnacion? 
 

[Danchat]

 

Buh-bye Belisle.

Yeah, I wish, but you'd think he was going to be canned after that 5 run inning given up to Tampa... he's got a leash and I don't think this is the end of it, sadly.

[USAFChief]

Actually, I want to hear the reason for Matt Belisle.

[twins_89]

Belisle fulfilling his role of making sure the Twins lose games.

[SwainZag]

"And they are leave in Belisle to pitch to Brantley, Ramirez and Encarnacion.  Obviously Molitor is thinking.........I don't know what the hell he's thinking."

[Mike Sixel]

Seriously, how is May not the choice there?

 

Matt. Belisle. MoY. They can both go for me...

[operation mindcrime]

Why was Belisle allowed to face Lindor, Brantley, AND Encarnacion?

 

This is how we baseball!

Yeah, so would the rest of us.

"Well you know, Gibson pitched a scrappy game and we really battle our tails off out there and Matty B has been solid like a rock all season besides all those times he wasn't and now that we traded Pressly, Matt is the only name in the bullpen I know besides Rodney. So, you know, I went with the name I knew and i think he grinded pretty hard out there and things just didn't work out as we'd planned."

[USAFChief]

Pressly would have been a good choice for that inning.

[Mike Sixel]

As someone said in another thread....this season sucks.

[Mike Sixel]

 

Pressly would have been a good choice for that inning.

 

Or, you know, May, or Reed, or anyone not named Belisle.

[Blake]

Getting rid of solid players yet keeping Belisle...

[Aggies7]

Ol CB not having a good night

"and he ran into a little bit of tough luck on those grounders...even the ball EE hit wasn't really squared up...I know what I'm gonna get when I bring Matty in"

[S.]

 

Ol CB not having a good night

Has he ever?

[wabene]

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

[Blake]

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.
