Game Thread "Hidden Fortress" Twins vs. Rangers 6:40 cdt 5/4/2021 ad

This team is not good - if we can’t find 4 relievers better on the street than the crap we are rolling out shame on the front office.

The problem is that they literally can’t because before a few hours ago, exactly ZERO minor league games had been played this season.

[mrtwinsfan]

oh my -again

[h2oface]

We had Buxton Cruz and Polanco to prevent this from happening. Yet nothing.

[Danchat]

 

Somebody send Wadell a hoodie and sunglasses before sending him out on a rail

I'd send him a blindfold and a cigarette.

Rogers cannot pitch 2 days in a row. We all know that. 

I don't think Rogers is too hot about being the closer. He did great as a setup man. Alcala has a better attitude for a closer. 

[Vanimal46]

The Twins are giving away wins right now. It will be quite the feat making up these gimme wins in August and September.

[cHawk]

I mean I’m not going to blame the FO for letting Rogers be the closer. Besides Robles, Duffey, and Alcala there aren’t any other half decent arms.

 

But Rogers didn’t pitch well...wtf

[Cap'n Piranha]

 

We’ve won 4 of our last 5

 

How'd we do in the 15 before that?

[Aggies7]

Haha Rocco stinks.

[Mill1634]

How in the world do you keep in Waddell to face a righty? What in the world...this is inexcusable 

[MNT1996]

Twins fans booing in the stands. Love to see it 

[MMMordabito]

Was Baldelli just getting booed? If so, love it!

[RickOShea]

Why would you let waddell pitch to this guy?  Baldelli mis-

manages again.

[h2oface]

 

How in the world do you keep in Waddell to face a righty? What in the world...this is inexcusable 

 

How do you even put Waddell on the MLB team?

How do you even call him up?

How do you even acquire him?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

 

Welp, it's late here, Waddell's coming in, and I've seen enough. Good night.

 

G' Night ashbury!

 

You chose... wisely.

[LVTwinsfan]

Rocco getting booed, I’m good with that

[sampleSizeOfOne]

 

Never gonna give you up

Never gonna let you down

Never gonna run around and desert you.

Never gonna make you cry

Never gonna say goodbye

Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.

It's one thing to question strategy, it's another to see strategy thrown out the window.

 

[Aggies7]

 

Rocco getting booed, I’m good with that

But his team won the division in two months of games last year 

[Mill1634]

Rocco deserves all the boos right there. Numbers or not, I'll be damned for bringing in a guy who was on waivers twice over the past few months. No manager in there right mind is pitching them in a tie game in the 10th inning. If it was the 15th inning, fine. Quiet possibly the most baffling decision I've seen from him

[operation mindcrime]

This team is soft ... like twinkies.

Hostess takes offense to this comment!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Alright, let's vulture a win!

 

(Please keep it as easy as possible, Alcala)

[jimbo92107]

One frustrating thing is how seldom teams call up relief specialists from the minors. Almost all of them are at least former starters, if not starters being used as relievers. Gotta unload Waddell and call up a relief specialist.

This week, anyway

My main question is why the heck is he still on the roster when he gave up 3 runs yesterday? I get if they think they can fix him up to turn him into something, but you can't throw a AAAA guy in back-to-back games after an awful outing yesterday and expect him to succeed. Just awful decision making process here.

[Aggies7]

Now we put in the guy we shoulda have started with.

[mrtwinsfan]

 

This is the bullpen this FO built..... Stop blaming the manager. Or not, up to you.

Were all guilry

[MNT1996]

Oh boy I can't wait for the roster move that sends down Waddell and brings up Shaun Anderson 

[Mill1634]

Geez, wonder what would've happened if we started the 10th with Alcala

[h2oface]

It's Colome's fault.

He has infected the whole staff with bad Mojo since opening day.

It won't leave us until he is released and gone, and his old uniforms are all burned.
