I know this site will blow up if we lose this.

I mean, do you expect happiness? Lol

[USAFChief]

Can somebody please explain to me why the pen is performing so badly right now?

"right now"?

[singlesoverwalks]

Welp, that's it, then.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

 

Hold onto your butts!

Simon didn't say.

[BD57]

this new extra inning rule works like the college football overtime rule.

 

Home team / whoever goes 2nd has a HUGE advantage.

[Danchat]

Colome got really lucky the A's didn't finish it there, as a couple of those pitches should have been hit for HRs. Yikes.

 

What's wrong with the bullpen? Well, the past two years they've relied on fixing up broken / middle-tier relievers and turning them into capable guys... but everything has fallen apart 2 weeks into the season. Wes has earned himself time to figure this out, but we're going to need some solutions real soon.

[HokieRif]

we need a new set of catchers

[Aggies7]

Garv sauce can’t put a ball in play. Simple baseball. Major leaguer can’t do it.

[cHawk]

Alright. Let’s try and hold onto this lead.

[BD57]

thank you, Buck!

[Mill1634]

BYRON BUXTON......WOW

[bighat]

Bux!

[singlesoverwalks]

BYROOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNN

[USAFChief]

That fastball right down the middle too tough for Garver.

[Aggies7]

Welp.

[HokieRif]

i was just telling myself we're done unless Buck specifically can do something...

[cHawk]

 

"right now"?

It wasn’t this bad in the first 7 or 8 games.

[FlauerPauer]

BUXTON!!!!

[RickOShea]

Check make sure time wasn't called during Buxton's at bat.

[mrtwinsfan]

Bryon Bye-Bye Buxton

[h2oface]

YES! Now Colome has some breathing room for the 10th.

[wsnydes]

This Buxton guy is good.

[Aggies7]

How do you hit a baseball while wearing sunglasses?

[singlesoverwalks]

LORD BYRON

[Mike Sixel]

When the Twins win, does the scorer give Rogers the win? Can he/she? 

[wsnydes]

How do you hit a baseball while wearing sunglasses?

It's easier than hitting a baseball with the sun in your eyes!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

 

"right now"?

Would it take too long to explain it right now?

[Aggies7]

Nobody currently warming in the pen is an indictment on the manager, it’s effing mind boggling

[bighat]

"Colome will come back out for the 10th"

 

Did I hear that correctly?

[wsnydes]

Nobody currently warming in the pen is an indictment on the manager, it’s effing mind boggling

The good news is that he can only blow one save per game. So, there's that!
