Game Thread "Sam" Twins vs. Mariners 7:10pm dst 6/12/2019 ad

Anthony Bass is still around? That's a blast from the past.

I’m hoping for the blast part

[bighat]

 

Scoring 2 runs?

Against Tommy Millone no less.

 

Soft-tossing, journeyman lefty junkballers have always caused the Twins problems for some reason. Wish I was making that up.

[yarnivek1972]

How about a little bingo

[Aggies7]

Just missed it

[bighat]

I think Garver could have made it home on that WP.

[twinssporto]

The ninth inning will be fun people.  If the bullpen holds up..Shhh.

[LaBombo]

 

Who's left?

 

We've used 4 so half the relief staff is still lurking out there in the bullpen, waiting their turn to make this game end as late as it would in Seattle.

[curt1965]

I’d bring up Smeltzer and use him as a lefty out of the pen. Can’t be any worse than we have.

FOR A START.

No one ever talks about the multitude of fish related names that have played baseball

 

Trout

Salmon

Bass

Catfish hunter

Mike carp

 

Edit: Devin SMELTzer

Duuude.... Marwin's been so clutch lately.

[notoriousgod71]

You would think with how awful every bullpen in the league is that managers would adapt and allow their starters to go deeper into games.

Benji Gil. Bobby Scales.

I was thinking of Brian bass

 

No, you're right, I was thinking of Brian Bass. I got my Basses mixed up.

I mean, berrios going 6 2/3 is pretty solid. We’re just so incompetent, we got 4 outs and allowed 5 runs

[Aggies7]

I thought that sounded fishy when I read it

A) Every bullpen isn't awful

 

2) tiring starters have proven over and over to be worse than the worst bullpens.

I am not sure about that. Sano is going to lead off.

[BattleYourTailOff]

Yep. And also grrr. Almost limitless potential for the Twins to "express interest" in relievers on the trading block, but whose teams ultimately wanted more back in prospects than the Twins were willing to give.

 

Falvine are probably already pre-taping the response to beat writers.

If we don’t get 2 solid relievers we FAILED with a capital F.

[Aggies7]

Benji Gil. Bobby Scales.

Bobby scales made me laugh right out loud.

[USAFChief]

You got your Bass handed to you.

[Aggies7]

I see marlon byrd is listed online as having a fish name. That’s kind of a stretch

[LaBombo]

 

No, you're right, I was thinking of Brian Bass. I got my Basses mixed up.

 

Mouth size is the giveaway, but also Brian has no notch between dorsal fins.

[DocBauer]

So we win it bottom of the 9th? Or do I have to run to the convenience store for another 6 pack for extra innings?

Plus, the entire twins bullpen is crappie.

YES.

[LaBombo]

One more fish name to add, and also peg the pun cringe-0-meter... Bob Lurie.

Can you get yuengling or just Hamm’s?
