AGAIN!!!

[John Kelsey]

EDDIE

[VATwinsFan]

Rosario a go-go!!!

[70charger]

 

That said, he’s a slow-throwing lefty, I think the Twins should be able to put up some good swings and some crooked numbers against him today. He’s also given up an unusually low number of homers this year...time for some quick regression?

 

Seems legit.

[Cap'n Piranha]

 

I can appreciate that although there have been more than a few of these for the Twins, and who cares about the Brewers anyway

 

There's more than a few of those for every team, or did you think only the Twins lose leads after the 6th inning?

[stringer bell]

Three true outcomes inning

[wsnydes]

Apparently only strikeouts or home runs are allowed today?

Name a first place team with a bullpen worse than the Twins

[mrtwinsfan]

Bomba- bomba 2-0 here 2-1 red sox there

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Apparently only strikeouts or home runs are allowed today?

And walks.

 

At least from the Twins.

 

Though Grisham almost got to Rosario's foul.

 

We'll see if the Brewers got the memo...

[Cap'n Piranha]

Gonzalez throwing 29 pitches in the first inning, a night after the Brewers used 6 relievers, is a good sign.  Get a win today, smoke a Texas team that's 1-7 in the last 8 before today's game, and hope the Yankees bludgeon the Indians pitchers, and we're back in good shape.

[mrtwinsfan]

Bad Bounce for garver there,  ****ty pitch

[PDX Twin]

Too early to pull Gibby? Before he gibs the runs back?

[JW24]

Who is available in long relief today? They might want to start moving around

[VATwinsFan]

Here we go..............

 

And it's only the first.

[70charger]

NOT a good start for Gibson. He better settle in; we don't have the bullpen for a starter to go just a few innings.

[Cap'n Piranha]

 

Name a first place team with a bullpen worse than the Twins

 

By WAR?  The Astros, Dodgers, Braves, and Cubs

 

By FIP?  The Astros, Dodgers, Braves, and Cubs

 

By xFIP?  The Braves (and the Indians)

[LVTwinsfan]

Whats Gibbys excuse today, flu last time ??? that is questionable

hes thinking about his next ab

[VATwinsFan]

Striking out Yelich with men on base is always a good thing.

[LVTwinsfan]

By WAR? The Astros, Dodgers, Braves, and Cubs

 

By FIP? The Astros, Dodgers, Braves, and Cubs

 

By xFIP? The Braves (and the Indians)

ok I’m convinced the Twins have the best bullpen in baseball

[VATwinsFan]

So other than Berrios and Thorpe/Smeltzer, who will the Twins starters be next year?

[BD57]

nibble, nibble ... and now we can't field the blasted ball ...

[VATwinsFan]

Time for a triple play?  Yeah I know, there's already one out, but can't we carry the extra out into the 2d?

[ruralTWINS rube]

There is no way we even get close to any playoff success making all these errors...

[BD57]

remember when "Twins Baseball" was about "getting the fundamentals right"?

[mrtwinsfan]

All on POLANCO, LOW BUT SHOULD OF HAD IT FOR 2, BEEN SAYING GIVE HIM A 10 DAY ROCCO VACATION, Know they wont,  but he is not the same right now

[ruralTWINS rube]

 

remember when "Twins Baseball" was about "getting the fundamentals right"?

Pepperidge farm remembers. 

[Puckett34]

**Exhales**

[SF Twins Fan]

Two games in a row Polanco can't catch a ball that he should have.  Luckily this one didn't cost the team.

[VATwinsFan]

Avoided a disaster with that DP.
