Funny to think about what could have happened if Pressly had been able to take the out they were giving him.

I don't think Cabrera was ever bunting.  He sort of half squared on 2-0, more like trying to distract the pitcher.

 

 

 

I'd turn to freaking Turley and maybe even Perk before I'd turn to Boshers for a lefty at this point. Stop already. 

I'm ready for a big moment Turley LOOGY sighting. Why not?

 

This is what happens when you have only 4 reliable relievers.

A run of close games means you need them to pitch everyday. But you can't.

 

Or when you take out starting pitchers with 90-some pitches.

That could very well be.

 

How many Twins relievers does it take to record a single out?

No need to trade for help.

 

 

Shoe-string-type catch.

 

 

 

Drink.

Good to see the manager isn't against doing some in game excercises. Don't pull a hammy out there!

At least I can turn on the Gopher game in good conscious now.

Meh, I felt like Jose was done.

God dammit, Molitor, you are a true a$$shole.

 

I hope every single reliever needs TJS.

 

He should have started this inning. The only possible excuse is that he was being held for the save. 

 

Yet another concept who's time should have never come.

Mollie really doing some managin' tonight. 

Not our night...fortunately the other teams in contention have either already lost or are trailing.  Maybe it is our night after all.

Is mollie having a stroke or something?? What if we somehow end up tying the game?

I'm ****** off about the crappy relief pitching, but I'm more ****** off about the ******* bunt in the 8th.

 

Only one of those is entirely on Molitor.

It is up to the offense to win games now. They need to score at least 5 a game, and early. Bremer says the bullpen has been really good, just not tonight. He must be watching different games. These relievers as petrified.

Disagree, he was sailing along until Gordon's pop up somehow drifted an extra 100 feet.

I'm just waiting for my name to be called at this point!

He's managin' enough for me to lose my dinner.

good to know  that's how I saw it

In comes our best reliever six pitchers too late.

5 relievers in one inning... and there's only been one out. Glad I'm not at the game with the pace grinding to an absolute halt.

Man, Bert is really on the decline this year.  Can't say names, can't recognize pitches anymore.

yep, hurts more for those other teams

Molitor waits until the bases loaded and behind by 2 to bring in the guy that should have started the inning. Busenitz. Maybe he was hoping to use him in the 9th. And he throws another first pitch right down the pipe. Amazing.

Chicken definitely not on the menu tonight, I suppose
