Rangers (Mahle) vs Twins (TBD): 6/10/25, 6:40pm

[Western SD Fan]

Likely we will have to see another turn or two through the rotation with SWR.  Maybe we will have to consider an Adams or McCaughan call up to use as an opener for a bullpen game.

Damn.  Even Cory Provus is checking out of this game.

I like it when he gets fired up, but unfortunately, that means the twins aren’t playing very well.

We’ll be calling Scott Diamond soon

You can't keep trotting him out there. He and Festa are going to kill the pen.

[RpR]

Is there a chance Morneau could sent down to AAA announcing?

[thelanges5]

The other Alcala is back. Can we be done with him already?

He's......not good.

[Western SD Fan]

How many runs before we can put Clemens in to pitch?

I understand they are out of options with him.  But at what point do you just have to give up and throw in the towel on him.  Alcala can't even get through a mop-up role at this point.

[Danchat]

We're at nearly a half season of Alcala sustaining a 7.60 ERA... enough is enough. Time for him to get a reset in another organization.

[RpR]

They should make Alcala finish the game.

 

[Aggies7]

Poor guy, I don’t know how you keep him on the roster at this point. If you can’t mop up then..

SWR throws 93mph and Alcala 98.  Both get lit up.  It's not how fast you throw that matters it's how your ball moves and where it ends up in the strike zone.  These guys throw middle middle with predictable results

They can now

[Aggies7]

Alcala not covering the plate properly is wild, considering his situation 

[RpR]

Nice throw by Wallner to the dugout.

To be fair, alcala was backing up the twins dugout on the fly ball to RF 😂

[Danchat]

Excuse me, Alcala has sustained a 9.25 ERA now! Who was the last Twins reliever to get at least 24+ relief innings and had an ERA as high as that?

[Parfigliano]

Jeff McNeil walks off the Nats.  Mets win 5-4.

Just another reason to show why it appears that he has checked out.

[Blyleven2011]

Acala is not mentally into to it now and Rocco is not mentally into it either , get him out of there

Ron Davis.😃

[thelanges5]

We have to use Coulombe to get out of this mess. 

[thelanges5]

This game is so embarrassing that we escalated quickly not one inning  but two. 🤣

Sorry, I meant that is like a disgusted question. 🤢🤮

[IndyTwinsFan]

Can we just forfeit the rest of this game?  This has gone way beyond embarrassing. 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Please dump Alcala after this game and send Sim back to AAA.

In the past 15 years, the closest example I could find was 2019 Trevor Hildenberger, who got to pitch 16.1 innings at an alarming 10.47 ERA. Good gracious.

Matt Belisle in 2018 had a similar 9.15 ERA in 23.2 innings. I remember how infuriating that was.

I’m going to guess Mike Trombley
