Game Thread: Tigers vs Twins 7:10 CST 7/27

As much as I like J. Schoop, I hope he does not extend his hitting streak, but then with Alcala he might just get another home run.

[AceWrigley]

We had to get Thielbar out of there, it was taking too long to lose the game.

Why proofreading is important!

Put down the Schoop voodoo doll and move away from the tv, please...

[LA Vikes Fan]

Wow, left for a few innings. Robles…. Sucks. How about not going just by reputations and NOT putiing Robles and Colome in late innings situations? Maybe try other guys? Theilbar, Coloumbe? Anybody?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Okay Twins, if you pull this one out again, let’s go east on the Gatorade buckets and stuff again

Robles reminds me of Vinnie Johnson in rhe NBA, the microwave. You put him in and he shoots a couple of times. He makes them, he stays in. He misses, you pull him and glue him to the bench. He either has it or he doesn’t. None if the “ he’ll find it” crap. Robles, two hitters . If he doesn’t get them out, pull him immediately. He ain’t going to ger better.

MLB is considering a rule requiring a pitcher to face at least 3 hitters, I hear.

If it's any consolation, I enjoyed your post a whole lot more than the work of the Twins' bullpen tonight.  Also, by that measure you're seriously underpaid.

Especially the one who homers once every 11 AB's...

[AceWrigley]

*uck.

[Aggies7]

I’ve never seen an alleged major leaguer swing and miss in 3 pitch at bats more than sano.

[Aerodeliria]

There is a rule on the Twins. If Maeda pitches, the relievers are required to blow the save at least 50% of the time.

[RickOShea]

Okay, let's play this spring training style.  Do what you have to do, to get this game over.

Good point. Give him 3 and if he doesn’t get at least 2 outs, pull him.

[USAFChief]

Sano K'd?? 

Huh. 

They say you'll see something at every baseball game that you've never seen before. Guess it's true.

[RpR]

Arg, Grossman, he likes Twins pitching.

I'm skeptical.

 

There's no way the Twins bullpen converts 50% of anyone's save chances.

Kepler is 1 for 11 in these two games vs Detroit... but the one hit was the game winner last night.

[Aggies7]

Did we really just pitch to Cabrera with a base open? I know he’s washed but give me a break

NIce to see his BA coming up a bit.

[insagt1]

Do we have to put up with Sano for 2 more months? He strikes out in key spots with such regularity it just screams 'why', 'why'?

Garver probably has a broken wrist. Just keeps getting better and better this year.

Tigers take the lead. Twins pen is so incredibly awful. Robles is just as bad as Alcala. Twins missed their chance in the 10th. Sigh.

Turns out Bremer knew exactly what he was talking about. 

 

It's been pretty devastating to us all.

We need a moniker for our beloved BP Corps. Suggestions anyone? Ok, I'll start:

NLSEBS: No Lead Shall Ever Be Safe, or nibbles phonetically. I know, its not quite syncing with the acronym, but close enough, like Dobby"s devastating slider that turned a 15 run laugher into a drama. 

Anybody got sonething better than The Nibbles Pen?

[RpR]

Keep Alcala and use him only in the 10th to pick of runners.

Can I sue the Twins if I've developed acid reflux while watching a Twins game?
