Game Thread Twins at Angels 8/13/22 8:07 PM CDT

[USAFChief]

I think our last 2 out RBI hit came in 2019.

[IndianaTwin]

After.

If you’ve ever stopped and thought, “I wonder what 30+ pounds of smoked bacon looks like,” it looks like this. 

[mnfireman]

65 pitches and done....

[mnfireman]

Nice play Urshela!!

[AussieG]

I thought Bundy was good for at least 1 or 2 more?

Its insane with this bullpen.

[USAFChief]

Wow. That was an INCREDIBLE catch by Urshela. Way tougher than some of highlight we see.

Yeah like 68 pitches abd they pull him.  I mean I think the twins have proven for most of the year that their 6th and 7th inning of the Bp isn't usually very good.

[USAFChief]

Perfectly fine with 5 shutout IP from Bundy.

Thats not how this game was charted to go last week.  Gotta follow the plan.  Reality be damned.

[USAFChief]

Chris Berman: Katy Thielbar the door!

 

I'll see myself out.

[RickOShea]

You wanna see starting pitchers go longer? Set # of pitchers per MLB roster @ 12.

Wonder if Rocco would have pulled Jack Morris in game 7, "91" series?

[RickOShea]

Jax is coming in.  that means its 2 or 3 homerun time!

100% just depends what inning, 5th, 6th....

I doubt it. 

He was only 10.

Morris would've put a St Paul hurtin on Rocco's puny body.

There would have been no game 5.

[tony&rodney]

Was Bundy really tired or losing any command and control of his pitches? If so, then ok to be proactive. I didn't see any tough innings or at bats. Bundy looked the same in inning five as he did in inning one. 

If he was lifted because of analytics, the Twins have a serious problem. Using 4-5 relief pitchers every game isn't sustainable and the issues will most clearly stand out against better teams. Tough to understand.

[IndianaTwin]

Do Golden Sombreros use standard hat sizes? Bummer for Miranda, but hopefully he can use the "We got the win, and that's what's important" line. 

[RickOShea]

What's with LA's Muncy/  Anyone check his bat lately?

[mrtwinsfan]

Damm you Rocco,  gotta go with game flow, Theilbar looked great ,  let hin pitchh

The Angels fans are probably watching these last two games and thinking, “Wow, they have such a good pitching staff!”

[RickOShea]

Soon, we'll show our true colors.

I'd guess by now Angels fans are bemoaning "always facing the other team's best pitching! It's uncanny!!"

[RickOShea]

A hitter in control wouldn't swung at that.
