[USAFChief]

There should be a new manager in the dugout tomorrow. There needs to be accountability at all levels.

 

Sheer stupidity, and you could see it coming from a mile away.

[Kwak]

Does Dan Gladden still pitch?

[Riverbrian]

BTW

 

Didn't all this happen after STRING left the park.

 

String may be responsible

[Mill1634]

Glad Drew is good (bad?) enough to pitch down 5, but not up 6. 

[Aggies7]

My lovely family cooked an entire Memorial Day dinner from start to finish in that top of the 8th

Chief for manager!

I blame Santana. If he could have just carried this team on his back for all 9 innings, we wouldn't have to watch the cruddy bullpen at all

We are going to have to call up two more relievers because the pen is even more tired.

Fire Molitor.

I used my firemolitor hashtag on twitter, like and retweet it

My lovely favorite baseball team ruined my appetite from start to finish in that top of the 8th.

"An aggressive hack."

 

Dick says it in reference to Gonzalez's swing. But perhaps it could be a good nickname for the Twins' skipper.

[DocBauer]

This is like a really bad horror movie that I can't stop watching! Do I really have to see how it ends???

[Aggies7]

I wonder what fans are thinking about Molitor right now

[Intramural Legend]

I'm a fan, and I'm not thinking very highly of him right now (or anytime I see a second inning bunt)

[Mill1634]

Wouldn't be surprised to see one of Besile/Pressley/Drew optioned or DFA'd for a new reliever tomorrow. We thought the bullpen was in bad shape today, tomorrow is even worse.

Very nice things. Deliberately positive things. 

[Blake]

The day after 14 inning game in which every single relief pitcher was used do you:

 

A. Bring out the tired arms to get the last outs, even though you've got a 6 run lead, Or,

 

B. Use the arms just brought up because everyone in the bullpen has been hard used.

 

Hmm, decisions, decisions.

Right to the bitter, now more bitter end....hopefully sometime today........

[twins_89]

The decision to put Santana back out there in 7th makes a lot more sense in retrospect.

[jud6312]

Good thing they sent down the guy driving in a run every 4.89 PAs for a return of the Rucinski show.

 

 

[Aggies7]

Thank god we didn't put this guy in last inning!

[Blake]

I could tell you but this is a family friendly site.

[notoriousgod71]

The bullpen is like the Jason Voorhees of baseball. No matter how fast you try and run away they will still kill you.

[glunn]

 

A. No guarentee that Rucinski or Wheeler don't get lit up.

 

B. Rucinski was up warming but he was sat back down after the Astros got close so that is Paul saying I don't trust him. 

 

C. If you don't trust him to throw... You sent Vargas down for no reason at all. 

 

D. If you sent Vargas down for no reason at all... The Front Office and the Manager are not on the same page. 

 

E. I got nothing for E but I like doing things in Fives. 

I ran out of likes a while ago, but this is a great post.

[Intramural Legend]

This could cost Molitor the clubhouse. The players aren't stupid, they know he cost them the game today.

The fresh arms guy appears to suck too...

[ashbury]

They will call up Mike Quade from Rochester, but then not use him.

[Aggies7]

Live look at fans leaving TF and heading to Paul's office

[Danchat]

LOL! So much for the rested arms... Rucinski just isn't good.

[Riverbrian]

Like I said... There was no guarantee that Rucinski or Wheeler don't get lit up either. 

 

The big question to me is still all about trust. 

 

What is the point of calling them up if you don't want to use them. 

 

Why is Vargas down in AAA exactly?
