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

[KirbyDome89]

I'm listening to the Cleveland broadcast and they're blaming Colome's early season performance on unearned runs...

 

Lets make a deal.

[Aggies7]

 

Who else should go out there

ANYONE. mike trombley if he’s available. Literally anyone

[cHawk]

He threw a strike last night. How'd THAT work out??? HMMMMMMMMMM???????

I mean an actually good strike that’s not batting practice

[sampleSizeOfOne]

SOOOOOO....I heard today from multiple sources that Colome was being moved to "low leverage" situations for a while.

 

I guess down 1 in the 8th is now "low leverage" to Rocco.

 

Which, given the offense, I can't say I totally disagree. A 1 run deficit seems like a pretty tall mountain to climb.

 

edit: ninja'd by most everyone in the game thread and several people walking down my street outside.

Ninja'd perhaps.

But you still deliver it with style.

[cHawk]

Ouch.

[Vanimal46]

JFC. We almost witnessed someone getting seriously injured.

[Danchat]

Goodness. Colome's complete ineptitude reminds of Matt Belisle... yes, when Belisle was so bad he plunked a batter on the first pitch and the ump tossed him out of the game even though there was clearly no ill will. Colome is that bad.

[Aggies7]

And he nearly decapitates naylor

Rocco must have a prop bet on Reyes hitting 3 bombs

And that's why Vegas LOVES those prop bets ladies and gents. They look SOOOO easy.

only because they read stat sheets but don’t watch Twins games

[MMMordabito]

Baldelli: Can you believe he's letting him stay in the game? That's borderline abuse! Should we call someone?

[USAFChief]

More solid contact off Colume.

You had no reason to do so

[Mill1634]

Colome has zero idea where his pitches are going

[RickOShea]

Damn, Colome is like slow motion on the mound.  He's just an all around pain in the ass!

[Aggies7]

Have to wonder where the colome signing will rank among the worst in the last 20 years. Nishioka, Sam dyson, Byung Ho park, who else?

[RickOShea]

My smoke alarm batteries are going to start beeping, this guy is so slow.  Pineda isn't much better, but at least he's more effective.

[Vanimal46]

The class of 2018. Lynn, Morrison, Reed.

Unnecessarily extending Phil Hughes?

[twins1095]

I think I hate Colome. I think I hate just about everything about this year’s team. I disagree with just about every Baldelli managerial move this year. I disagree with the Twins calling up these two bit scrubs over giving actual legit prospects a shot (the worst thing that happens is they play the same as all of these career minor leaguers).

 

I hate prioritizing dart throws like Shoemaker and Happ (despite decent performance) over a guy like Dobnak and making him a long reliever (if we are going to make dart throws).

 

Everything from top to bottom feels wrong.

[Cap'n Piranha]

Colome pitching is the definition of laboring.

[Aggies7]

 

The class of 2018. Lynn, Morrison, Reed.

Oh my god we’ve made so many doozies I forgot about ones that happened three years ago

[cHawk]

Just strike him out

[MMMordabito]

Donaldson has a "who the f is this guy" look.

[Cap'n Piranha]

Sam Dyson was a trade acquisition, which makes it even worse--we had to give something up in addition to the money we paid him.

[Aggies7]

The pandemic will be over by the time you get this third out, colome!

[RickOShea]

International law has put, watching Colome pitch, right below waterboarding, as unacceptable torture.

[Aggies7]

Im talking about guys who gave us absolutely nothing. Or next to nothing. Dyson fits that bill very well.

Not often you see an infielder with has back to the plate and a batted ball between him and the plate.

 

That's pretty special right there, ladies and germs.

 

[cHawk]

Colome represents the pen. No command, whatsoever
