Heck. Watching Stashak pitch lately I'm more inclined to trust him than Dyson at this point. 

Have you seen Dyson pitch at all this year? I haven't, so I'm not sure about what he has, but you obviously have to make the comparison, so I'm just curious what you've seen of him before today and could share with the rest of us.

I still think it's a big ask ... just off the plane, okay, go pitch for your new team ... don't know the players or coaches, but go to it.

 

Dyson's problem was that he couldn't locate. Exactly what one would expect when one doesn't get a chance to properly warm up.  This one is on Rocco.

Seems like the two things the Twins offense hates the most are extra inning games and bases loaded situations

[VATwinsFan]

12 Twins batters in a row without a man on base

The other school of thought is get him out there ASAP. I mean, 3 run lead against Miami should be a gimme.

So what we've learned is that if Rocco would've used anybody other than Dyson, the game would be over. Got it.

He should've used a Kirby!

Yeah ... and to be fair, I do think it's a point to consider ... I just don't think we need to go off the deep end on this guy ... at least not yet. And even relief pitchers have an off day, even the best of them.

Well I just saw him fail to get an out against one of the worst offenses in the league and his ERA when not playing in San Fran is pretty high. Wasn't a huge fan of the trade when it was made and definitely am not a fan right now. 

[MABB1959]

I get it, new, excited, tired, disappointed even?  But this is not what we needed when we think of help in the BP at first blush.   Still going to get that pit in my stomach when the go to the BP.

Der Schlagmeister is battling.

[John Kelsey]

Max is AJing. 

[FLTwinsGuy]

Damn, max just got under that one

[TFRazor]

 

Der Schlagmeister is battling.

Someone obviously promised him a beer and a braut if he gets on

[PDX Twin]

Not going to happen today, is it?

[VATwinsFan]

13 in a row.

[VATwinsFan]

Outs by Twins batters that is.

We're not to the 18th yet

[VATwinsFan]

At least we're getting a look at what Stashak has to offer.

[bighat]

 

I think it'll go to Dyson because those were all his runs

 

Good point, didn't realize that when Dyson came in it was a save situation. Thank you.

[VATwinsFan]

And that's that.

[wsnydes]

Neat.

[VATwinsFan]

Pretty bad loss.

[Blake]

Crud.

[Mill1634]

Welp...

 

That is a really, really bad loss against a really bad team. 

 

Cannot let it spiral into another loss. 

 

See y'all tomorrow night, have a blessed Thursday night. 

[PDX Twin]

 

We're not to the 18th yet

 

Past the 18th page, and that's enough.

[Darius]

Yep, bullpen is still awful.

[TFRazor]

No I was wrong. Don't believe what I say. I rarely do either.

[wavedog]

Way to grab defeat from the jaws of victory

[bighat]

Ballgame. Every loss is a killer at this point in the season but this was a gut punch. Time to focus on KC I guess. Yuck.

[TwinsCD]

Another statement that aged well.
