Who gets the ninth? Robles, Colome, or Stashak (LOL)?

Those GD unwritten rules and traditions.

I'm sure "no doubles defense" is well documented, just like cut offs, base covering, back ups, and the like.

Never seen them in writing.

Ya know i'm not sure i have either.

Neither are they rules, but rather strategies that have paid off in the past.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Irregardfully, we worked around the double, by virtue of a headsup play by Simmons.

Ok, that makes sense.  But I'm not biting or looking to get trolled.

Let’s put the guy in who can’t throw strikes in a one run game in the 9th

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Robles = Everyday Eddie, circa 2002

Gets himself into the worst possible predicaments, then gets out of them..

(Let’s hope)

[PDX Twin]

Do you suppose that when the Twins were advertising for a closer in the off-season, they inadvertently left off the "c"?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

is this Ramirez any good?

[mnfireman]

I think I would have brought in a different pitcher than one who threw 27 pitches yesterday and had to escape a bases loaded jam....

[Aggies7]

Literally hate this team 

[Aggies7]

How is Robles in this game after yesterday???

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Predicting two strikeouts, then a lineout directly at a fielder 

[PDX Twin]

Donaldson cuts that one off and gets two. Sano watches to see if Simmons can perform a miracle.

Now a should be groundout is an rbi single because of the shift. I’m gonna go wash the car

Who knew that washing the car could be so therapeutic. Just make sure it takes you long enough to miss any extra innings.

I bet the coaches told him to pitch.

[Aggies7]

HOW IS NOBODY WARMING UP

[AceWrigley]

feel the doom.

What we need is a BFG 9000

[AceWrigley]

Wait, how is it that Jose Ramirez did NOT hit a 3-run walk-off homerun?

Odds of Donaldson getting it out of his glove cleanly: 74%

[Aggies7]

Unreal 

[AceWrigley]

Sigh, and so it goes.

[Aggies7]

Rocco is a dunce. I don’t know what else to say

[bighat]

Just so discouraging. So sick of this team.

[Aggies7]

Name another major league manager who would let this happen and not have anyone warming in the pen. Robles has thrown like 60 pitches in 24 hours 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Does this mean Kirilloff still has a chance to keep his hitting streak alive?

[AceWrigley]

Now the hitless rookie will probably win it for them.

[AceWrigley]

Ha ha . . . no. The hitless rookie swings at the first pitch from Robles . . . sucker.
