Game Thread "Unexpected Party" Twins vs Pirates 7:10pm cdt, 4/23/2021ad

Reynolds and Moran's numbers are both worse against lefties, so I like bringing in Rogers here.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?

[FlauerPauer]

Cheap call there.

Cheap call there.

 

I'm fine with it

[FlauerPauer]

Dick is such a bozo... dude needs to retire.

[FlauerPauer]

Why bring in Rogers to face the righty?

[RickOShea]

Why do Twins pitchers after getting a hitter 0-2, all of a sudden become wussies?

[Aggies7]

Meet the new closer, same as the old closer 

[LVTwinsfan]

Colon Moron

[cHawk]

This is the conclusion I've come to: Command will make or break this bullpen. Robles, Rogers, Duffey, and Alcala all throw hard and can have command issues.

Why bring in Rogers to face the righty?

He's a switch-hitter

[LVTwinsfan]

Colon Moron

sorry my spell check isn’t working

[Aggies7]

About as stress free as it gets with this gang

[MMMordabito]

Cheekin' Deener!

[FlauerPauer]

Unless hes your guy/

[LVTwinsfan]

Wow unbelievable

[operation mindcrime]

Way to go Twins!!!!!!!!!!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I am asking for a stress free 9th inning. Please. One time.

 

I would have asked for another World Series, but that’s just me

 

[RickOShea]

Thanks for everyone coming out tonite.  God bless, and don't forget to tip your waiter.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Winner! Sorry I missed most of it!

[stringer bell]

Nice to see a game go under 2:30.

[IndianaTwin]

I apologize for my skepticism. Bringing up Kirilloff was the answer.

[Danchat]

 

Why bring in Rogers to face the righty?

Reynolds is a switch hitter, and hits about .050 OPS worse against lefties.

[Danchat]

Hopefully that won't be the only stress-less save this year!

No worries. You got the important part with the first word of this post.

Woo!! Feels good to be back in the win column. Happ was really good tonight. After the second inning I was wondering if he was going to be able to get through 5 innings, but he bounced back. The defense was really good tonight, especially polo making some plays I don’t think we would’ve seen him make in the past. Lineup was off balance, but I was really impressed with brubaker; his fastball had a ton of movement. Nice to see cave and astudillo make an impact on the game, and Duffey and Rogers both lock things down. I know neither guy got a hit tonight, but JD and AK both hit the ball hard a lot.

 

Twins win!!

2:17. Nice.

[Shaitan]

I'll take it, but who doesn't prefer a 5 HR 5 hr game instead?
