Rogers again?

 

We need bullpen help. This is riduculous.

[Blake]

 

Not to worry, the pen's got this.

Somehow, I don't find much reassurance in that statement.

I really don't get this one. 3 run lead, bring in May. Or Duffy.

[twins_89]

So the plan is to pitch Rogers in every close game until he implodes from overwork?

[operation mindcrime]

Sit Whit!!!!

[wabene]

May or the Duffmaster for the clean ninth the fireman with two on. I like it

[yarnivek1972]

I think going to Rogers here is an enormous mistake. Baldelli can’t act like be’s the only guy out there. Rogers will never hold up.

He only threw 21 pitches last night and hadn't pitched before that since the 18th.  2 on, none out, 8th inning in a 3 run game...I have no problem with them going with Taylor here.

[FLTwinsGuy]

Oh crap..

3rd appearance in 7 days....is that really over working?  

[SwainZag]

Wow, 1st extra base hit from a lefty given up by Rogers since 2017, that's damn impressive.

[yarnivek1972]

3rd appearance in 7 days....is that really over working?

Second appearance in 18 hours. Yes, it is.

[USAFChief]

3d inning in18 hours is the more relevant time frame.

Gee, wonder if he’s tired.

[MNT1996]

Yeah I don't trust Rodgers in the playoffs

[USAFChief]

I don't let Rogers face Dozier.

 

Trevor May please.

 

edit: stupid. Can't let Rogers give up the lead to a RH hitter there.

[SwainZag]

 

Yeah I don't trust Rodgers in the playoffs

 

Yeah....this isn't an overreaction at all

[twins_89]

There's a reason you rarely see a reliever pitch in a day game after pitching 2 innings the night before.

[70charger]

Damnit.

[MNT1996]

This bullpen is pure trash

[MNT1996]

 

Yeah....this isn't an overreaction at all

 

Is it now?

[FLTwinsGuy]

Unreal

[LVTwinsfan]

Another great start wasted

[USAFChief]

 

Is it now?

stop.

[Nine of twelve]

 

Yeah I don't trust Rodgers in the playoffs

Good thing we don't have any players named Rodgers.

[wabene]

I think we're still in this

[Nine of twelve]

 

Another great start wasted

Game's not over yet.

[VATwinsFan]

So are the other 7 guys in the BP hurt or something?

[USAFChief]

 

Wow, 1st extra base hit from a lefty given up by Rogers since 2017, that's damn impressive.

I had to check.

 

It checks out.

 

151 PAs, including the two today.

 

Damn impressive indeed.

 

[wabene]

While I think using Rogers like a fireman is good I also agree that using him at all today after two last night isn't is too much.
