I don't know about anyone else, but I definitely thought Boshers and Belisle would combine for 2 perfect innings with 4 strikeouts on 25 pitches tonight.

Is that what I missed? Been busy scraping those pesky flying pigs off my roof.

I'm sorry, but what the hell is happening with the bullpen? Who are these guys?

Maybe if you see enough guys DFA'd you start thinking "I don't want to be next" so they pitch better.

[Puckett34]

On Bremer asking who'll pitch the 9th.  Obviously, have Gimenez pinch hit for whoever pitches Rogers and have him pick up the save

not sure why we didn't let Matt go against that righty. He was cruising. (Yes, Roges has been amazing against righties. 

[Aggies7]

0-2 pitch

[Mill1634]

Welp. 

[Danchat]

Urk. Didn't think Rogers would be the one to blow this one.

[Aggies7]

Guess you don't win 46 straight while having a lead by not being a great team. Oh well.

[DiscGolfer]

damn, well time for bed

Never mind.

[wickedslider]

dammit!

 

[70charger]

Actually they just kind of flipped the script. Belisle and Rogers both out of character tonight.

 

Same result, different order.

[LaBombo]

If nothing else, games like this force me to admire the optimism of Twins fans who actually hope to see the Twins play a few extra games against good teams at the end of the season.

[Aggies7]

And this is why Bart needs to either be released or moved to the pen. Can't get 5 or less (on a good night) every 5 days.

[PDX Twin]

At least we won't need Kintzler.

 

I apologize for tuning in. Got home from marimba and turned on the computer to find the Twins winning. I guess it's all my fault. I'll go to bed now so maybe they can stage a comeback.

My money is on Bart retiring tonight. Doesn't have to go through the shame of being cut or DFA'd again.

Kintzler was going to be a crapshoot tonight anyway

[twinsnorth49]

I like Taylor Rogers, he's been great.

 

But those are two awful, awful pitches on 0-2 counts!

 

I don't think a fine is sufficient for that level of awfulness.

[jctwins]

At least this club is proving my point that they are not one #4 starter away from being relevent.

We're relevant, just not playoff relevant

Thought the very loud foul might have made him more careful. Oh well.

[Aggies7]

Swinging out of his shoes

[h2oface]

At least Kintzler gets the night off, eh?

[snepp]

I just want to see a Miggy homer so I can go to bed with happy thoughts.

[h2oface]

Can't serve it up with 0-2 counts. Taylor.

[snepp]

Or not.

Considering where expectations started this season and how most of the past 6 years have been, hanging out around .500 the rest of the way is not the worst way to spend August and September.

Nope, but these are the ones you can't lose, especially with the others pulling away
