GAME THREAD: 5/2/21, Minnesota Twins vs Kansas City Royals, 1:10 CDT

[RickOShea]

Yeah, simmons, pretty funny stuff!

[Mill1634]

Not the best defensive inning for Simba

[LVTwinsfan]

News flash: the 16-9 Royals are a mirage.

yeah, still a series win would be a nice improvement.

[USAFChief]

Jeez....

[LaBombo]

Donaldson running toward the stands for a pop foul feels like we're going to end up talking about what he hurt and how many games he'll miss.

[MVP Nick Punto]

I am wandering off...

 

Take good care of the game for me!

Come back!

[Aggies7]

good recovery

[LVTwinsfan]

Nice pitching

[Mill1634]

Nice work by Berrios to buckle down. Had a little bit of a mid-game hiccup once again, but he buckled down when needed. Bullpen needs to lock this down, and offense needs to add at least one more.

[Danchat]

Much better inning for Berrios there. Time for the bullpen... well, at least it's fresh. Rogers hasn't pitched in 5 days or so.

[USAFChief]

Who gets the 7th? Duffey?

[jkcarew]

Atta boy, Jose. Now put on your big boy pants and tell Rocco you’re going another inning. There are no days off for the bullpen to rest this week.

[cHawk]

Who gets the 7th? Duffey?

Him or Robles

[LVTwinsfan]

There we go

[cHawk]

That’ll do

[Mill1634]

ARRAEZ TRIPLE

[USAFChief]

Insurance!

[MVP Nick Punto]

Insurance!

Isn't insurance just gambling?

[LVTwinsfan]

Insurance!

with error forgiveness

I don't think there's any chance Berrios comes out for the 7th.

 

And I'm good with that.

JD has been quietly horrid this week...1/17 with a homer. It'll happen over 162 though. I'm surprised that he hasn't gotten a day off in a while, and think he could maybe use one.

JD took this personally

[RickOShea]

Rocco must have told the offense, that he was thinking of bringing in Colome.

[cHawk]

M-V-P

[Mill1634]

Breaking it open!!! Needed this!

[cHawk]

Moving forward, I’m a bit concerned about the rotation. In addition to a reliever, I would like to see a starter added.

[LVTwinsfan]

Rocco must have told the offense, that he was thinking of bringing in Colome.

No doubt we’ll see him today

[LaBombo]

Twins had 1 hit off of Danny Duffy through six, but I know that it had nothing to do with me being at the ga... oh, screw it:  Thanks for nothing, Twinkies!

 

Now keep hitting or else I'll show up at another game and ruin your day again.

concur. I vote for DeGrom.

I am now. But given the 3-run lead scenario, I wouldn’t have been. Spotted a seven run lead after 3, and not able to get even into the 7th?...given the Twins situation, that’s more failure than success, even if the result is a win. Now, I probably take him out and see if I can get at least one inning from someone not named Duffey, Robles, or Rogers.
