Welp, Lets go Rays!

Perez is who we thought he was.

Meaning mediocre, at best.

[notoriousgod71]

 

With the September guys coming up I think it's time to go bullpen game the next time Perez's turn comes up.  Or at least give him absolutely no leash and have people warmed up the first sign of trouble.  Scary for next season-rotation as of now probably consists of Jose Berrios and that's it. Which sounds better than Jose Berrios and Martin Perez.

 

That's all we have are bullpen games. None of these starts (or Rocco) are capable of going more than six.

[LVTwinsfan]

It’s early and we’re in Detroit. We’ll get them back

[HawksNest]

You can't limit this offense than how the hell can you beat Houston or New York in the LDS?

Perez will not be starting a playoff game.

 

But yeah, this really bad

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Hopefully Detroits not still at bat

you mean when you wake up in the morning?

[sftwinsfan]

Wow, that's pathetic, they just now have appeared to get someone even up in the bullpen.

[Pius Jefferson]

 

TB up 3-2

 

Would rather the Indians wins to keep the Twins focused. 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

How is... even.. ... I can’t ..

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Wow, that's pathetic, they just now have appeared to get someone even up in the bullpen.

They can’t be resting anybody, can they, with call ups tomorrow? I don’t get it either

[LVTwinsfan]

Rocco 8 in a row, that means Perez is done

[ScrapTheNickname]

 

How is... even.. ... I can’t ..

Couldn't have said it better.

[FLTwinsGuy]

Havent seen this bad of a start from a twins pitcher in a long time

[HawksNest]

Checking out, enjoy your evenings!

[jimbo92107]

Unleash the mighty Stashak!

[VATwinsFan]

Pretty bad.

[notoriousgod71]

What is baffling to me is that Rocco seems insistent on allowing his starting pitchers to throw 80-85 pitches each game, whether they are throwing a one hit shutout or getting lit up.

 

How about you let the guys pitching well continue and take the guys who can't get anyone out sooner? This seems like a better pitching strategy.

[sftwinsfan]

Ok, now I'd definitely pull Adrianza from the game. Not like that ball was moving with any speed.

[notoriousgod71]

Well, I guess we didn't learn from Bartlett, Sano, and Arraez but you probably shouldn't put your infielders in the outfield.

[DocBauer]

Just popping in to say I'm glad I'm not watching this one. LOL [Dark and frustrated LOL]

 

Go Twins!

[PDX Twin]

 

Ok, now I'd definitely pull Adrianza from the game. Not like that ball was moving with any speed.

 

Put him on the mound as punishment!

[VATwinsFan]

Did we just witness the Twins record for most hits given up by a pitcher in a single inning?

[IndyTwinsFan]

Pathetic efforts from both Perez and Adrianza. Embarrassing.

[Pius Jefferson]

What purpose does Perez serve being on the Twins?

[notoriousgod71]

Dick just seems bewildered how this could possibly happen.

[jimbo92107]

Two things seem to happen when you bring in a reliever after a big inning - a quick out, or a home run.

[ScrapTheNickname]

The offense has to feel deflated. I don't expect a comeback in this one. I'm going for a walk. Have fun everyone. 

[VATwinsFan]

Hmmm, maybe Stashak should've come in, say 5 batters ago?

[Nine of twelve]

OK, so every team, even good ones, have WTF innings. If any team can come back to win it's us. Get to work and do it.

[LVTwinsfan]

Would rather the Indians wins to keep the Twins focused.

umm no, let’s find another way
