GAME THREAD 4/27/2021: Twins @ Indians 5:10 CDT

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Hey look, more practice stranding a runner on 2nd.

[Aggies7]

JHC we’re a downright atrocious club

[USAFChief]

 

I guess Rocco's been listening to the feedback of pulling starters too quickly? In this case Maeda had no business throwing the 5th...

Heh. Sorta the ol' "rock and a hard place" situation, id'n it?

 

[Dave The Dastardly]

I think I've seen this before.

[RickOShea]

This has to be a conspiracy.  Possibly funded by the White Sox.

[Danchat]

 

His 5th inning was great! It's the 6th inning that didn't go so well for him...

Whoops, lost track of the innings. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

 

Heh. Sorta the ol' "rock and a hard place" situation, id'n it?

I give up. Neither seem to describe our bullpen...

[MMMordabito]

Well, Thielbar, there's always bartending at the Doublewide in New Market.

[wavedog]

The one thing we are far and away best at this year is letting inherited runners score

[sampleSizeOfOne]

 

I think I've seen this before.

Don't spoil it for me...

[cHawk]

77 mph down the middle. Batting practice.

[wavedog]

I don’t know why the heck our pitchers are throwing so many meatballs.

[Aggies7]

Yes, dick, we know cave has been in every game.

[D. Hocking]

 

Don't spoil it for me...

 

Twins get some clutch hitting and retake the lead.  The bull pen is lights out and Cleveland does not get another man on base, although some of that is due to some incredible defensive plays in the field.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Once more into the batter's box, Garver.

[Aggies7]

Have to dust off this old favorite

[Aggies7]

A weak liner to right is what might get Garver going, according to Roy. He’d trip if the bar were any lower

As expected.

[cHawk]

We’re hitting balls right into their gloves

[MMMordabito]

Smalley is just making stuff up.

[cHawk]

Are we actually this bad?

[Mill1634]

Twins have been horrible against starters the 3rd time through the order

[wavedog]

Well it appears we hit our run limit of three

[Mike Sixel]

I wish Rocco would stop throwing easy to hit pitches and hitting balls at the opponent like that.

[USAFChief]

Ouch!

[RickOShea]

Must be nice to suck at your job and still live a first class life.  Most of us would be looking for work for non-performance.  These guys get to ride the bench, travel first class and wine and dine.  Win or lose there's no real survival motivation.

Doesn't that take talent?

[cHawk]

I want a comeback in the 8th.

[USAFChief]

Rocco's had a pretty bad year too, to be fair.

[MMMordabito]

I wish Rocco would stop throwing easy to hit pitches and hitting balls at the opponent like that.

I wish he'd go back to his hair salon near the Burnsville Center
