Got the job done. It's a save situation now.

My second favorite way to use Thielbar, after 'not at all'.

[Tlaker]

Welp

[USAFChief]

So predictable.

0-2.

And now Thielbar has to pitch to 2 more hitters.

Real response, agreed

[h2oface]

Baldelli just loves Thielbar to a fault. Sands says thanks for the 2 runs charged from the over 7 ERA teammate.

... and relatively useless right now.

I mean, Thielbar gave up no ER, he's got to be feeling pretty good about that outing right?

It's a team

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

At least they only got 2...

[stringer bell]

Sands gets charged with two ER because Thielbar couldn’t strand the runners he inherited. 

[USAFChief]

Unless there's some more insurance forethcoming, that brings Duran into the game, too.

We just need a couple more runs here, that is all.......

[wabene]

The scorekeeper must be stealing signs, kinda early though

Well, that and the hit batter. And the smoked base hit.

[wabene]

Hard to run when you strikeout

They have a trust metric too.

(number of grey hairs + seasons on the team - sausage throws)/AARP fee.

[Parfigliano]

Wheels Castro time

[Tlaker]

Can’t the team put Tbar on a city bus and send him across the river?

 I will spend a couple of bucks to make it happen….

[stringer bell]

It was a pretty good pitch to Devers, but it is probably true that Thielbar’s best isn’t going to get Devers out too often. 

[Schmoeman5]

The 2 runs charged to Sands stem from Castro not catching the lineout. I like Willi. But he's not an everyday SS when Correa was out nor an everyday CF while Buxton is out.

Green line is pretty low cost.

Save your money. Only suckers pay to ride the light rail.

I had the same thought. A true CFer catches that.

We don't have one right now, though, so it's moot. Martin isn't really a CFer either.

How does MLB allow this closer entrance hoopla lol it’s absurd

The hidden stat, the most important stat for a reliever, in my opinion.

This season, Thielbar with 6 inherited runners, 4 scored.
