GAME THREAD: Dodgers @ Twins, 4/13/22, 12:10 CT

[Brock Beauchamp]

Okay, pulling a guy out of a perfect game is one bridge too far, modern baseball.

Now what would be amazing is if the Twins win the game. That'd be so damned funny.

[Mill1634]

One game overreactions to a top 3 pitcher in the past decade on a freezing cold day are fun to read. 

[TouchEmAllGuy]

Hate that they are taking him out. Ugh..

[Aggies7]

How do you come out of a game 6 outs away from a perfect game? Total joke

Graciously accepted, Bombo!

Only if he was a Twins pitcher would he be pulled

And then, of course, the bullpen would blow the game

I mean, I get it. But c'mon, send him back out there.

[Vanimal46]

Kershaw’s only 80 pitches in, and there have been 23 perfect games in MLB history. Incredibly disappointing if they don’t give him the chance to finish the game. 

[gunnarthor]

Wanting another inning out of Rodriguez was a bit much. Not Rocco's best day.

[Musk21]

I realize it is 36 degrees, but he's only at 80 pitches. Go for the perfect game!

[Vanimal46]

I remember this from last year. Leaving a reliever out to dry only to DFA him the next day.

Rodriguez is making sure that wont happen.

[Mill1634]

Oof. Send Clayton back out there, please

[Vanimal46]

Wow. 3 straight HRs.

Indeed he is.

[Aggies7]

Now we’re into complete embarrassment territory

Send him to St. Paul please.

LOL

Bring him out for the 8th you cowards!

I was just going to post this same comment, word for word. Give him a shot, screw the pitch count!

[nicksaviking]

Solid strategy here by the Twins. Kershaw's going to get cold sitting in the bullpen waiting for this half inning to end.

Got 'em right where we want 'em.  Where that is, I'm not sure.

[AceWrigley]

#($&@723&*@$2$28$.

[Mill1634]

Honestly not even sure why you'd bother bringing another reliever into this game. Twins are not coming back

[LaBombo]

Twins looking for more consistency from their pitching, and they get consecutive homers to the same seat in right field...

Why don't you like the Saints?

Also not like it's some young top prospect and they need to protect his arm. We're talking about a first ballot HOF'er at the end of his career. You let him make the decision-so he's not coming out.

Especially for a guy like Kershaw

[Muppet]

No better day to give up a bunch of home runs.

[Azviking101]

Day off tomorrow, why has he been allowed to give up 3 straight HRs?

3-0 or 4-0 is too much to overcome? I get the bats have sucked, but why does Rocco just give up?

I mean he pitched 3 innings and almost 50 pitches of 0 R, 0H ball after walking the first 2 guys he faced. He shouldn't have been sent out for a 4th inning.
