Oddly enough, that’s one of the only things Twins relievers don’t suck at. They’re 9th in reliever BBs (in other words, 20 teams are worse). 

Maybe it’s just in tight games. Easier to throw strikes in blowouts

Twins would be fools to throw big money at Jose. We’re so far away from competing.

Larnachs fielding skills seem to not exist after that throw but now it makes no difference.

Why didn't Baldelli leave Colome in?

He was at 26 pitches (faced 6 batters), and didn't look particularly great.

We got 4 runs to score befor 3 outs.

 

Time to put up, or something.

I started watching in the bottom of the 7th....seemingly about 2 hours ago. The game ground to a halt, Insufferable. Twins have no pitching at all. None. There isn't one reliever who can get the job done. They diddled around...took about 1 minute between pitches, couldn't throw strikes, and then when they did, the 1st place team tore them apart. This game was a horror show exposing all the warts. Just no fun at all watching this team.

When we’re at the point of “why didn’t he leave colome in”, you know things are ugly 

[RpR]

Morneau sounds like Black Night from Monte Python -- We've had worse!

I am sure other teams are dying to trade for our relievers.

It doesn't help that Rogers right now is in one of his awful periods. When he goes bad, he is REALLY bad. And there is nobody to bail him out. it really bugs me....pitchers who slow the game down to a crawl. Rarely are they ever effective. Go after the hitter. Keep your 'd' alert. Twins pitchers did neither tonite.

It always makes me nervous to see Donaldson sprint like that.

Oh, well.

 

You win some, you lose some.

I'm sure the Rays would be licking their chops to buy low on guys like Colome and Robles for a low level prospect and turn them back into great relievers. Or if they could get their hands on Alcala, they'd turn him into their next closer. And then trade him in 2023.

[h2oface]

The bats must not be able to stand the pitchers, these days. Must be a very uncomfortable clubhouse.

or.... you win some, and lose way more.

And Burr gets the win. Baseball Justice.
