LaTroy: "Man, I don't think Haase can catch up to a fastball."

5 seconds later

Haase hits a grand slam off a 97 MPH fastball

 

?

Reminds me of opening day in Milwaukee when Dobnak came in to pitch the 10th.

Bremer: “Dobnak now with that devastating slider.”

First batter: lines a base hit, off of slider.

I wonder if Jim Pohlad watches any of the games?

 

With all due respect, our posts shouldn't be monitored for a while.  It's a physical impossibility not to explode about what's happening.

Bullpen coach Pete Maki gives the boys a little pep talk before they beam down to defend the lead...

 

Are we sporting the red shirts again?

I think what's wrong is that we all forgot that he had a 10.80 ERA last year. Now he's regressing back to that point.

Apparently he was a deadline trade piece. For what, I don’t know.

What’s wrong with Robles? Whiplash?

Snidely says there's nothing wrong, that's just who he is.

Your 2021 Minnesota Twins.

Ah, there's the happy little tire swing!

[AceWrigley]

This is the worst bullpen in Twins history.

Turns out Bremer knew exactly what he was talking about. 

 

It's been pretty devastating to us all.

[RpR]

IF a pinch-hitter bats for the second time in an inning, is he still a pinch-hitter?

[ashbury]

We are screwed. Maeda is unavailable for pinch-running duties.

Hell Shoemaker would be better 

 

Is that guy any relation to Matt Shoemaker? 

Ba dum tschhh

[AceWrigley]

I'd rather watch Astudillo pitch.

We still got this.

Just gotta plate a run, that's all.

[RickOShea]

Baldelli's laptop is losing its charge.  Better head back to the clubhouse.

[USAFChief]

Day-tway's bullpen has the best names in the league, hands down.

[RpR]

Well Larnach for Gordon, hmm, why didn't have Maeda pinch hit?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Is this a good time to share that Ryan Lamarre hit the game winning home run for the Yankees tonight 

[USAFChief]

Remember when we thought Larnach could hit? That was awesome.

Bummer for the White Sox! 

[RpR]

Ah, ball five, one more chance.

 

[USAFChief]

Spoiler alert: 

 

Olympics: Team USA softball is playing Japan.

 

 

[RpR]

Yep, fill the squad with rookies, they say, let them show their goods.

Twins could set the record for second most losses in baseball history.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Let’s see Astudillo’s helmet come off and somersault into home plate with the winning run!

I may not be the smartest guy in the world, but even I know helmets can't do somersaults.

[RickOShea]

Remember when charlie finley experimented  with having a rabbit pop up by home plate to give the home plate ump extra baseballs?  I got a vodka cranberry riding on it.

Cleveland Spiders lost 134 in 1899. Our Twins have already won 43. Sadly, the record is out of reach. Wait 'til next year.
