On cue. Up in the zone, dammit sim!

[Patzky]

Worst part is we should be up 6-4 with any intelligent Offense.

[Peter]

These are games we need to win!!! Division is there for the taking

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Coulda given up the lead in one fewer batter, i suppose.

Throws hanging split fingers too often, SIM does. Nationals used the sacrifice effectively. We have seen the Twins have crappy base running for 3 consecutive years. Doesn't seem to matter who base coaches are. 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Sim just doesn't have it. Really wanted him to succeed but I don't think it is going to happen at least not as part of the rotation.

Nats fan site says the same!

[tony&rodney]

Ruiz looked susceptible to pitch at the top of the zone. Announcers discussed Sim having trouble with splitter this season. What gets thrown? A splitter in Ruiz's favorite spot. Oh well. Clean it up Banda.

[Chris Hove]

I think it's time to move SIM out of the rotation for whom I have no idea, but we have some options. He's not locating and doesn't have a good out pitch right now. We have been down this road with him before. I'm just lost with him.

[Patzky]

He's gonna hit Wood. He just is.

Sim is about to give the lead right back and then some...

4-5  runs --  4-5  innings  every start-   1 time thru the order then BOOM   he is a perfect  guy for Bullpen  L ong man

[Baumer67]

How long will the Twins keep putting Simeon in, he's not good!

Zebby-Abel. Let's just see if Joe is able to provide also.

I honestly think this is it for him.

[Patzky]

None of those offerings were remotely close to the plate.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Banda throwing kerosene on an inferno.

[jaimedude]

Yuck, Banda walks a lot of left handed hitters. He makes his own messes not pitching close enough to strike zone. 

[Patzky]

May we please have our annual Bullpen Sell Off sooner v later?

[Peter]

Come on!!  This is going to blow up 

[mrtwinsfan]

[Baumer67]

Banda in and probably Garcia next!

[Chris Hove]

One pitcher who can't figure it out, to another pitcher who can't figure it out. Are we just conceding this game, giving up?

That's what it's designed to do.

Figure it out 😉 

[jaimedude]

What a terrible pitch hitting Lyle. Wow is Banda wild with his flying open today. Twins bullpen ERA is 5.83 second worst in baseball. Who could have seen this coming.  Luke Keaschall needs to be demoted.

I hesitate to imagine the riches we could bring in...
