Don't forget to note that the baseball gods unleashed the Hounds of Hell, which proceeded to rip the Twins to shreds early and often.

FTFY. Sorry to be anal.

Yeah, I just liked my Grade I Hazmat situation comment about it.

Just pulling your leg there.

It's just not a typical Tonkin outing without a home run.

Hey, I just remembered that Sano's suspension hearing was supposed to be yesterday. Does anyone know if there is any word?

So, it's nearly 5AM here, why I'm awake rt now is anybody's guess. Maybe it was the excitement of the beginning of the Tepesch Era...

Oops- maybe not.

I guess the Red Sox don't take too kindly to being walked off?

Gosh, hitters sure do love those flat Tonkin pitches. Hate to say it, but he needs a change of scenery. He generates his velocity by whipping his upper body straight sideways, effectively eliminating any downward plane. Somebody needs to teach him to throw overhand before he gets chased out of the pros. 

It's time to rework the bullpen  All these career minor leaguers.. We really did not address it in the off-season very well to put it mildly. Bring up the young guys, has to be better than the current bunch.

It's a bird, it's a plane, no, it's Chris Gimenez to the rescue!

 

FTFY. Sorry to be anal.

Nice work. I've always heard loosed, but unleashed works on even days and weekends.

Tepesch, Pressly and Tonkin should not be on any major league team roster right now. Please call up Berrios and some effective relievers please.

Really, only Duffey looks like a future cog in the BP. The Twins have got some work to do to fix things if we are to continue playing a little above .500. Things need to break right and solid promotions need to be made. It will be interesting.

The thing is, they don't have any effective relievers to call up. Chargois' hurt, so is Jay. Haley will be back soon... Boshers? There just aren't any options. I'd rather trot out guys like Busenitz, Baxendale, or Hildenberger instead of Rucinski but the chances of that working is still slim.

 

How about we convert Gimenez to a reliever and call up Garver as the backup catcher? I am joking, of course...

Sometimes I wonder why pitchers don't do this now and then, just toss the ball like you're playing catch with your 10 year old kid. MLB hitters are so used to 90+ speeds, the low 60's become hard to handle. Even when they know it's coming, the slow speed is difficult to compensate for. On top of that, GiMENez tossed the ball high in the zone, inducing that pop-up.

Rochester's nice this time of year.

How about Fernando Romero? It would be a jump up, but rather give him the opportunity if he's healthy

Nice work. I've always heard loosed, but unleashed works on even days and weekends.

One cries havoc and lets slip the dogs of war, but I'm not sure what's the correct treatment of the hounds of hell.

 

I'll ask my local vet, next time I have our cat in for a tuneup and oil change.

If I recall correctly, Romero's one of our best starter prospects. I do not want to mess with his development right now, I'd rather let him continue to excel at what he's doing.

To more more anal, actual quote for Shakespeare is :Cry 'Havoc,' and let slip the dogs of war;

 

 Any way those dogs are out!

No chicken dinnah tonight, sadly. Mrs Ash is making meatloaf though. It is absorbent and will help dry my tears over this game.

I hope you're classy enough to know whether to bring red or white wine for meatloaf.

Just bring a box of each. That should be sufficient.
