Game Thread: Twins vs. Seattle, 4/10/21 @ 1:10pm

[USAFChief]

Twins have been really bad at controlling the running game under Rocco.

[jun]

Mariners are running around with Garver catching. I want to see more Jeffers.

[h2oface]

Colome delivers. Can't hold runners. Nubbers. Solid contact. Gives up the tie game. He does everything. I'm surprised he didn't throw the ball away on the throw to first.

[USAFChief]

How the hell doesn't Cave PH there?

[MVP Nick Punto]

I blame me.

[Danchat]

Say what you will about the pitching, but our offense should be able to muster more than this.

[h2oface]

Time for the Buxton "Homer of the Game".

[MVP Nick Punto]

Ouch.

[Dave The Dastardly]

Clever strategy; walk Cruz, hit Buxton. Twins are now toothless.

[cHawk]

Can this team "get it done" here? That's what we will see now.

[SwainZag]

Where did he get hit at?  Anytime Buxton is PR for I am instantly nervous...

 

Edit:  I was misinformed, ignore this lol

[MVP Nick Punto]

Robot strikes/balls.

[cHawk]

I mean that's better than a strikeout so it's not nothing...

[MVP Nick Punto]

Turns out MUCH better!

[operation mindcrime]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PDX Twin]

Is there anyone we'd less like to see at the plate than the Big K here?

[Dave The Dastardly]

over/under on a Sano strikeout?

[MVP Nick Punto]

Buxton steal home?

[h2oface]

The feared Sano.

[MVP Nick Punto]

The feared Sano.

Feared by whom? Us or them?

[PDX Twin]

 

The feared Sano.

 

Feared by Twins' fans everywhere!

[USAFChief]

 

over/under on a Sano strikeout?

yes.

[USAFChief]

gifted a run. We'll take it.

[h2oface]

It doesn't pay to have too good of an eye for the strike zone with plate umpires calling balls and strikes. Too many ways to get screwed. 

[h2oface]

So far this season, Colome has either given up the lead or lost the tie in the 8th or 9th inning in 25% of the games the Twins have played.

[mrtwinsfan]

Ya i know its ezze to question Roccos bullpen usage after the fact, but after not giving Pineda the 7th, i thought MMMM! Okay, then didnty duffey throw like 8-10 pitches - no stress, i wanted Rocco to leave Tyler io to start the 8th, then if it does get down to Seager, bring in Rodgers ?, IDK, then have Rodgers fresh still for the 9th, which he did start him then

Small Sample Size.

[cHawk]

Welp, extra innings. I'll take the L

[h2oface]

 

Small Sample Size.

 

It is what it is and that is all that it is.

[h2oface]

Can Baldelli and the Twins win an extra inning game this year?
