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

You could say he's got an inside out commentary on the game.

Hard to believe we held the lead an inning ago

It's almost like Busenitz is better than every pitcher that was used before him. Who would have figured?

Everybody but Molitor, it appears.

Maybe paul needed to find that out the hard way

Can't wait for Molly's explanation of that sh1t show.

RALLY TIME!!!!!!

Tale of the 8th inning:

 

Twins get their leadoff hitter on base, in Mauer, a slow runner.

Then they sac bunt.

 

Royals get their leadoff hitter on base, in Cain, a slow runner (banged up right now ).

They pinch run for him and save the out.

Well, at least we got their fake closer into the game

As complicated as we all make the game out to be oft-times, sometimes it's really pretty simple, isn't it- just get your best player on the mound or in the batters box and let them do what they do best.

I wish I could say the Angels are losing 53-5, but that game is only 1-0 in the early innings.

Molitor's contributions tonight:  2 lost baserunners, 5 pitchers in one inning, 2 wasted outs with sacrifice bunts.  

 

I can't wait till he's gone.

He'll never top Gardy for post-game pusillanimity.

IMO having Pressly take the 8th and Busenitz the 9th (in theory) is not a bad idea - bringing in Boshers and Duffey were the big mistakes that sealed this one. Those two should not be pitching in any close games.

I feel uneasy about relying on Bart tomorrow

JUST A LITTLE OUTSIDE!

Also let's not forget that apparently Mitch Garver is the best pinch hitting option on this team.

I'm one who criticized the move from the day he was retained by Pohlad, but I never thought a manager could so single-handedly screw up a team's playoff chances by doing the same stupid stuff over and over. Whatever by-the-book manual Mollie's using, time for the bench coach to burn it- TONIGHT!

lol yeah, that was lost in the sauce, but equally head scratching

And I fall to .500. 

 

But that still keeps me in the playoff race.

Adrianza, gimenez, garver, goodrum and Vargas and he went with garver

And our leader, the ball scratching lead off hitter, checks in with an oh for 5 and the last out. Let's get 'em tomorrow! 3 out of 4 would be peachy.

What's changed since July 9?

I don't mind Pressly in that situation.  Awful execution though.  Almost K's Cain on an 0-2 curve, then for some reason he and Castro decide an 0-2 FB is just the ticket.

 

Base hit.

 

Then a four pitch walk, and the inning is long gone.   

 

Adrianza, gimenez, garver, goodrum and Vargas and he went with garver

Or leave Kepler in, but yeah best bet was prob Adrianza

Wondering about that myself. Hunch or Math?

 

Indiana?

Arko?

Anybody...?

pusillanimity

 

[pyoo-suh-luh-nim-i-tee]

 

late Middle English: from ecclesiastical Latin pusillanimis (translating Greek olugopsukhos ), from pusillus ‘very small’ + animus ‘mind,’ + -ous.

 

I had to look that up.

Great word. 

Now I can agree. 

Gardenhire was the king.

I'm still waiting to see what this "Alan Boshers" guy stuff is like....
