Game Thread Twins @ Oakland 4/21/2021 2:37 PM CDT

[Aggies7]

Buxton pulls up lame on the leadoff single. Whoa boy

[Aggies7]

We have to get 9 outs without giving up a run lol

[MMMordabito]

It must suck having zero pitchers in the pen that you can count on.

[cHawk]

 

Not because we’re 6-10. Because we don’t have enough pitchers that can get batters out.

 

The bullpen was no better than this in the first half of 2019 and we thought we were one of the league’s best teams.

[Mike Sixel]

Mighty kind of the A's to keep swinging early in counts. Gotta send him out next inning also, right?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Rogers with a 2-2-3 inning. I can live with that.

Hitting the most home runs in the history of the sport covers up a few weaknesses

The starters aren't too good this year either.....yet. Now, I think Happ and Shoemaker are both #5 pitchers...so that's an issue.

That team had an offense as I recall. This team is feast or famine.

 

Much easier to cover up the warts when you can score the way they did in 2019.

The bullpen fixed itself in the second half. It certainly can happen again.

Or we can score some insurance runs...

 

I would mind a little bit of both, myself.

They brought in several relievers at the deadline. Hardly fixing itself.

Who exactly? Romo?

Insurance runs would help today.

[cHawk]

Great AB, Cruz

[Aggies7]

Nelson is hurting

[Aggies7]

Man that heckler is LOUD

[wsnydes]

Who exactly? Romo?

Romo and Sam Dyson. Dyson didn't work out all that well, but Romo was pretty good for them that year.

 

The bullpen never was that good, so it didn't fix itself, but it did get better with help.

[Aggies7]

Maybe polanco is getting back on track

[wavedog]

Alright - my 3 hours of watching is up -  I'll leave on a winning note - cheer them on to the win.

Bet the A's will trade him before he reaches Free Agency....

[cHawk]

If, for some of you, taking a break from the Twins would be good for your mental health, I suggest you do that.

[Aggies7]

 

If, for some of you, taking a break from the Twins would be good for your mental health, then go ahead.

Judging by the sparsely attended threads the last two games, seems many took your advice early

Some didn’t.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

The artful Rogers with 2Ks.

[cHawk]

Like if Rogers should get the 9th

[Aggies7]

Gotta give a standing O to Taylor. That was well done

[Mill1634]

Give Rogers the 9th. Please. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I hope we don't find out what it takes to pry him away...

Oh good. I didn't jinx him...
