Twins (Bradley) vs. Pirates (Jones): 5/29/26, 5:45pm
Western SD Fan replied to Brandon Glick's topic in Archived Game Threads
The radio option also lets you listen to the opposing team's radio broadcast. I'm listening to the Pirates broadcast tonight for a change of pace. -

And that may end up being the answer on what to do with Lewis, at least temporarily. Whenever they think Lewis is ready to come back up, he may end up replacing Keaschall and go back to playing third while Lee and Clemens would share 2nd. -
I think it's too easy to tear down SWR for today's start and he definitely deserves much of the criticism for the year in general. When Shelton was interviewed postgame, he told the press that Rojas was scratched about an hour before 1st pitch and told SWR that he was going to step in and make the start. Today is SWR's first appearance with less than 4 off days between appearances and after he threw 35 pitches on Monday. When I saw the change from Rojas to him, I expected it to be a scramble drill. I didn't expect much out of the game today whether it was Rojas or SWR since the original move to have Rojas start seemed a bit haphazard. I can only assume that Rojas will have to go on the IL or optioned to St Paul because the Twins will now need bullpen help for the rest of the road trip and their next day off is June 8th.

I'm afraid we are going to need this today. We certainly needed it yesterday and I failed to bring it out.
-
And of course, to twist the knife a little more, our old friend Trevor Richards comes in and finally throws an effective inning.
-
Arcia - our most effective pitcher tonight. Only gave up one run.
-
At least we are back to NFL football and we can claim we have a terrible offense but a great defense.
-
The Twins wanted to play in the CFL and only want to score a rouge.
-
On a positive note, Shelton can save the bullpen. We are down by 8 runs so we can now bring in a position player to finish the game.
-
Absolutely. This has been an issue for Prielipp for many of his starts. He just never fully imploded until tonight. He will need some more seasoning in St. Paul when Abel is ready to come back.
-
Now the game shifts to trying to save your bullpen. Orze may have to eat another inning.
-
New Twins strategy! Keep Sox runners on the bases so we can ice the White Sox starter. It'll work, right? Right?
-
TV broadcaster tip. When you say someone is warming up in the pen, maybe mention on who it is? The radio boys are much better at this than you.
-
Pitch it as an Emotional Support Cat. You may get it to work!
-
Someone should tell Connor that he can declare to the ump that he going to pitch out of the stretch. He doesn't need to walk someone every inning so he can do that.
-
It used to just be any random LHP would do this against us. Hence why I always made the joke that the ghost of Jamie Moyer could still get through this lineup twice. I guess we have reverted to allowing anyone to do this.
-
Now we need to wonder how far the White Sox are willing to let Sandlin go tonight. Unless something changes, his pitch count lets him get into CG territory.
-
I just read the story. I will need to find the video. Just sounds horrible. Too bad for the bat dog. It's those little things that make a minor league game fun to watch.
-
Unrelated for this thread. The Tulsa Drillers, the Dodgers AA affiliate, had something cool in having a bat dog. A highly rated Dodgers prospect tried to avoid the dog and ended up suffering a worrying patellar injury. In response to the freak accident, they are removing the bat dog permanently.
-
At least he is making the ERA calculation easy. Still a 9.00 ERA for the night.
-
More like lucky that Vargas wasn't paying any attention. Vargas would have scored had he realized what was going on. I guess Vargas gets to score anyway.
-
Gray would have had a homerun had he eaten his Wheaties this morning.
-
Rojas would be nice for some length if it comes to that, but I'm not a fan of the lefty backing up a lefty. Need to change the angle.
-
I believe her Umpire Scorecard from Boston was slightly below average, but not close to CB Bucknor level.
-
Someone should introduce Prielipp to Molly Hatchet because he is consistently Flirtin' with Disaster.
