FFS that’s it for me

For one brief moment, victory was within our grasp.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

...And then the game started.

 

FFS that’s it for me

Yeah, they made my decision to turn it over to UFC an easy one.

 

Not anytime soon with Buxton and Granite on the DL.

Granite also? Wow.

Maybe Bard can come back and get a chance?

Hmmm, Dick mentioning that Luke Bard has been DFA's by the Angels. Would the Twins need to put him on the 40-man if he comes back?

This is just gross.

I'm pretty sure we don't need to give him a 40 man spot.

This is pretty much my first look at Kinley. My very untrained eyes tell me he isn’t able to repeat his motion consistently. Every delivery is different.

Kinley's looking as about I expected. Too many balls --> walks, HRs, and wild pitches. Yeah, it's a SSS, but he's not ready to face major leaguers and I'm not sure he ever will.

Checking back in and it’s STILL the 8th inning? And we have to keep this guy on the roster all year? Holy smokes, mollie better start cracking some heads. These 4 games have been brutal. Really should be 0-4

The guy is 27. If not now, when?

Remember when we were all at least semi-happy about the bullpen upgrades? Ah, memories.

Like Casey Kasem and the top 40 countdown.

 

The hits just keep coming.

It's already 10-1, but I'm actually OK with it because the chances Kinley is a goner is increasing.

Eh, I'm happy with Reed and I think Rodney and Duke will come around. Kinley was not one of the reasons to be excited about the bullpen.

Sano getting awfully close to hopping on the interstate

Playoff contenders should not waste a roster spot on a guy like kinley. Sigh.

First game against a power lefty all year, with fairly predictable results. 5 baserunners in 7 innings. Was going to be a challenge even if Sano was swinging it.

So is Grossman now too (from the other direction).

RISP Update:

 

Twins: 0 for 7

Rays 7 for 9 (!!!)

Just like that

I'm happy with Reed, but I haven't seen anything from the other two to make me believe age hasn't caught up to them.

 

Would i be jinxing them to wish the Timberwolves better luck than the Twins?

Today, the chickens get to eat?

 

SINCE Easter.

You are right!   

Who said Rod Carew tonight???  Loser.

I get that this was a game against a tough lefty, but Morrison hits his first home run and a deep warning track fly in his old home park, and gets benched the next day?

 

On a different note, nice game thread Vanimal! Hope that the date with the future Mrs Vanimal was successful but was also not with the Chief Meteorological Intern.
