well Shoemaker sucks as a starter and as a reliever. This is Twins baseball at its worst in 2021. When it really counts, the pen can;t get it done. That was way too easy.

If we could just get guys like Pressly and Hendriks. ?

Sending shoemaker out again is a suicidal move.   Nothing good can come from it.

Dick speculates that the inflatable trash can is meant to lampoon Houston's cheaty 2017 shenanigans.  But he's just being polite, because it's actually the between-games carrying case for Shoemaker.

I just can't wrap my head around bringing Shoemaker into a close game like. He's been legitimately the worst starter in baseball, so you "demote" him by having him pitch in a high leverage situation? WTF?!

And to leave him in for a second inning. Mind blowing

Just setting up the 9th inning. Single-HR-Single-HR.  It's a great play if your team can execute it.

Shoemaker has the sort of versatility you look for in a swing man... equally adept at eliminating your team's chance to compete early on, or destroying all their earlier efforts with a late-inning implosion.

It's 3d chess, Rocco is Spock, and we're the bratty kid without a clue what Spocko is doing... except we don't have the scary mind powers to avenge the loss by melting Matt Shoemaker.

Using Shoemaker in a high leverage situation makes me seriously wonder if the Twins are actively trying to lose games.

I mean, if the Twins are truly cooked, and this isn't just a retool, then tonight is exactly what you would want.  Cruz, Sano, and especially Donaldson upped their trade value, Shoemaker continues to make it clear you can consider him dead weight and jettison him for an unproven guy, and we get the loss for draft position.

Maybe Pressly can do an Aroldis Chapman imitation?

At this point in the season I'd be happy if anyone in the bullpen could pull off an imitation of Tracy Chapman...
