Wow, this might be the worst start for a pitcher that I've seen in a long time. That's partly due to the fact that the Twins left Shoemaker in the game so long, most guys would have been pulled much sooner.

Rocco forgot the rule.  He thought a pitcher had to stay in for at least three innings, not batters

[mrtwinsfan]

new pitcher e.r.a. is 9.0  - atta boy rocco gotta keep a eye on the stats

I’ve not thought that once this season

According to Shoemaker, the Royals are Mr. Hands.

[Irishman]

Please waive Matt Shoemaker!

I will be shocked, disappointed, and pissed if he makes another start for the Twins.

[LVTwinsfan]

The sad thing is, this won’t be the last game we watch that looks like this. 

 

[Vanimal46]

Turned on the game coming home from the gym. Did a double take, and turned it off. Wow. 

[AZTwin]

Shoemaker is bad at baseball.  That is all.

[LVTwinsfan]

The umps did the right thing there, let Rocco challenge,lol

Shoemaker is good at making shoes!

[lukeduke1980]

This game seems low leverage enough for Colome to get some work in 

[LVTwinsfan]

They do have 8 chances to do something

[lecroy24fan]

The Twins are only going to play bad on days that end in y this year.

[Twins_Fan_For_Life]

Thanks, Matt.  Have a good life.

The opposite of this.

 

[RickOShea]

The Twins should unzip their pants.  That way they might think some fans are laughing at their unzipped pants rather than their play on the field.

Baldelli needs to turn in his stylus and pad.  Rent a car and drive home.  He's pathetic at his decision making.

Counting tonight, the Twins will have gone 2-6 against the Orioles and Royals over the last stretch. I'll be curious to see if this prompts the Organization to open up the bidding for Cruz, Simmons, Pineda, and Robles. Selling this early in the year could potentially improve the returns.

I don't want anyone from our FO even close to any of the players.

 Tom Gordon looked a little teary eyed, when Nick got a hit his first time he seen him play.  Probably crying because his son is a Twin

You expect him to have a reliever warm at the start of the game? Did he make the decision to bring in all these rent-a-pitchers?

Don't forget Berrios!

Twins are so pathetic.

I'm talking about a much bigger sample size, than tonight's game.  And no, I don't expect him to have a reliever ready at the start of the game.  But mayber 1/2 an hour later and 6 runs on the board, I do.

Since Berrios, Buxton, Rogers, and Duffey all still have a year of team control I'd guess the Twins will take their time making any decisions on moving them. It will be interesting to see if the Twins do a small sell-off of expiring contract guys or if they do a major makeover of the roster.
