Did you hear about the guy who invented Lifesavers? They say he made a mint.

No. Do tell!

 

I know a yard worker who really rakes it in every autumn...

Erv now sailing along. Bet he doesn't get the eighth.

Modern orthodoxy has the bullpen taking over now.

And Molitor wonders why his 13/14man staff is always tired and awful. Leave your horse in there. He's the only guy that can get anyone out.

I think we're far enough along in the season where Molly can stop turning games over the what is, on paper, one of the worst bullpens in the MLB, most of AAA, and some of AA.

 

Honestly, is it much of a stretch to say Chatanooga's bullpen is better than the Twins' at this point in time?

Modern orthodoxy assumes you have an MLB quality reliever on your roster.

We'll find out soon enough...

 

Please, no spoiler alerts! Er, i mean spoilers.

There's also the professional Rock Paper Scissors players.

 

I hear they can make money hand over fist.

[Darius]

Matt Belisle warming up.....ugh.

[ashbury]

Great follow up Star Wars reference, that is. Very nice, that was.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Orthodoxy. Plain ol' orthodoxy.

[kusko_andy]

Why do I feel like Twins are still underdogs to win this game?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Dammit

 

I hate leaker ground balls against us

[notoriousgod71]

How many ****ty relievers can you burn through, Molly???!!!!

[GCTF]

Gas can, here comes your match.

[kusko_andy]

Do we have anybody in the bullpen who can reliably strike guys out?

[drock2190]

Well this reliever is DUE for an out

[GCTF]

 

Matt Belisle warming up.....ugh.

Not sure if he'll walk the next two hitters or just give up the HR immediately.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

LOL Belisle nods his head "I'm ready"

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Twins Baseball™

[Willihammer]

Sano's like "come on guys".

[Darius]

I'm only listening to the game, but I'll assume that was Mauer's fault, because everything is Mauer's fault.

[kusko_andy]

lol can't make this crap up sometimes

[sampleSizeOfOne]

That pop up should allay all your doubts.

[wsnydes]

Is that a rhetorical question?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

LOL survive that inning

[twinssporto]

 

No runs. But don't know that I would call it great. 5 walks.

Better than Gibson...

[kusko_andy]

 

Is that a rhetorical question?

 

Absolutely

[ashbury]

Scoreless eighth. As expected.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Absolutely

Really?
