OK Shelton.  That should be ringing some bells. We are in San Diego so maybe some mariachi music can be playing.  A clue that Kremer maybe needs to be taken out.  There's hard contact again.

[HarmonK03]

So a lefty to face Merrill when there are two righties before him, this makes no sense.

He's blowing past his season high for pitches thrown in a game as well.  You would think the analytic nerds would have given him this stat before the game.

SHELTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 100 pitches

Use the BP..now!

[djvang]

Here we go again.....

[Twindy]

I can’t believe they’re leaving him in.

[Aggies7]

Just a mound visit? He’s doing it again isn’t he????

[Saxophone Joe]

 
I gotta say, baffling move by Shelton to bring Kremer out for the 6th. Red lights blinking!

[AceBee]

Self inflicted wounds...

Just coming here to say, it’s fun to read people so angry now about leaving the starter in too long as a complaint. If I were Rocco and I were reading this, I’d just be shaking my head :)

even worse ====after 1st guy got on

[HarmonK03]

I actually think Shelton has done a good job with the bullpen up until the past week or so.  It is like he is not adjusting to the time of the season where maybe the starters can't be stretched as much.  Or the urgency of the games where you have to be quicker to react.  I just don't understand what he is thinking.

Moris is rested.. should be upcoming

Great question for the post-game presser

Rocco would routinely pull people who were cruising. Shelton has been leaving people in to die lately. There’s a large middle ground between the two. This has just been a recent thing with Shelton 

[Permanent Twins Fan]

Would have liked to see a couple runs in the last two innings for insurance. 3 run lead doesn't feel safe vs. the Padres.

[SS MagicMark]

Whew
