I think Rosario goes yard in the next inning.

Estrada has given up 24 homers this season. Hopefully the Twons can add to the total before the day is done.

well they will need to now, unfortunately

I don't understand...if Gee is coming out anyway, why does he pitch to Donaldson?

 

If he's out of gas, he shouldn't start the inning. If he's not out of gas, why take him out?

"The Doof" is living up to his nickname right now with his pitching.

I've been saying this all year!  To me, Donaldson hit a pitcher's pitch.  He's good enough to do that.  Other than that, Gee looked fairly in control.  Some balls found grass.  He was working a little harder because the Jays were striking out.  Now to burn through the pen and lose 3 games in 1 day.

Uffda

I've got a better nickname for Duffey

And his buddy, diesel fuel, is trotting in from the pen now.

To be followed by a third guy, who we like to call.. Match

Welp, this has been a fun afternoon.  Time to go do something else.

I really don't think Gee would have given up 6 there.

Duffey and Pressly only deserve mop-up duty. Perkins should not be on major league roster.

Agree

Pressly certainly made sure all the inherited runners score

Just saw Melville got claimed on waivers by the Padres. That might be a ballpark that could sustain his type of pitching.

Even if my nickname was "The Doof" I am not sure I was would put it on a an MLB uniform.

Seattle down 4-1 to the Yankees in the 6th. With a loss, the Twins may still be in the wild card lead after today.

 

But first things first. Can they score 6 runs off the Jays bullpen today? Come on, Bandidou, Buck and Chulo....and "Mauer."

Side note: I had surgery to repair a torn labrum back almost 20 years ago. Can't imagine having that surgery on my throwing arm.

 

The recovery & rehab sucked. Very, very painful.

Latroy is such a good commentator. Makes it a treat to watch even what is starting to look like an ugly loss.

Uh-oh

 

Everyone come back

KEPLER!!!!!!!

Kepler!

That's a good start.

nm everybody leave

This bullpen is so freakin bad.  No confidence in anyone at this point.

I know this bullpen is terrible....but what in Molitor's mind thought that bringing Curtiss back after last night would be a good idea?  If you want to keep a 1-run lead, you use Hildenberger.  Naturally, Curtiss starts with a leadoff walk on 4 pitches and those never end well.  If this team misses the WC, it's going to because they have had a bunch of garbage in the pen and a manager that hasn't been able to work it well enough.

Garver, Curtiss, and to some degree, Vargas..... all succumbing to pressure they can't handle. Too bad. There was some renewed promise there for a few minutes.

I hate Morales. Tanked for the Twins, but always hits against us, and did KC right.

This bullpen is such freaking garbage. Unreal

Hey .... nothing another grand slam won't fix!
