Why did we the rookie with control problems in with the bases full again?  And why didn't we have a backup plan ready?

Just wondering...

 

Is there anything a catcher can do here when pitchers lose complete control? We have seen this the last two games.

De Jong and Vasquez both need to be gone.

This is a f#$%^ng joke.

 

Twins front office tried to get too cute with their Manger hiring.  Isn't paying off so far.

Someone tapped your knee and it jerked.

Probably the most disgusting pitching performance from a team I've seen since....last night in the bottom of the 9th.

He could ask the pitcher very nicely to throw a strike

umm, what the hell just happened.

"Here, you put this gear on and I'll do the pitching..."

I'd rather have taken my chances with Odorizzi at this point.

So the last two Odo games.... he loads the bases, and Baldy calls in two minor league pitchers... Harper, and Vasquez...... and they both allow all inherited runners to score. WTF. What is wrong with his brain?

 

De Jong and Vasquez both need to be gone.

 

I"m not ready to give up on Vasquez, but I sure wouldn't put him into that situation! All on Rocco the Rookie.

Everyone in the stadium knows he's going to walk him. We know he's going to walk him. The Mets know it. The Twins know it.

 

What is happening? Why?

Does everyone include Rocco?

I only half-heartedly pay attention to this team at this point due to the pitching staff, but why was Vazquez called up?

OK, I'll risk being reported for language here, but what in the living H was that kid still doing in there facing Cano?

 

I was no Molly fan, esp. regarding bullpen issues, but not even he would have been this brain-dead.

 

Of course, he wouldn't even have brought the kid into a situation like that in the first place.

Mind boggling use of a rookie in the bull pen

 

MIND

 

BOGGLING

Five walks and hit batter in six consecutive plate appearances. I really don't understand the decision making process tonight.

First walk after the Hit Batter.... and pull him. Save the game. This is just unbelievable.

Who changed the channel? I want the other game I was watching!

Maybe.  But he looks in over his head so far.

Sure would have been nice to get a bullpen arm or two in the off season, but what do I know,,,,,,

Tequila shots or some sort of heavy duty valium.

This is 25% on Baldelli and 75% on Falvine for ignoring the most glaring weakness any club could possibly have the entire offseason.

Throwing this game away. Never seen such control problems between Gibson, De Jong, Odorizzi and Vazquez

Scintillating game we've got going here.

Twins pitching looks like a bad Low-A team right now. This is like watching a low end developmental league.

Major League baseball? 7 free passes in a row? May be a historical record. Ron Darling, "I've never seen anything like this in my life. Wait, the nightmare isn't over.

I don't think I've seen anything like this.
