WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO STRIKE 'EM OUT, THROW 'EM OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Strike em out, throw em out....very pretty.

I don't understand what you mean... they just called Smeltzer up and he's thrown 5 scoreless innings, what good would "letting him get settled" do?

Multiple posters have said that it's not fair to a pitcher to ask them to pitch if they've flown in recently. Irresponsible, even.

Apparently it takes several days of settling in before a guy can be expected to do his job.

So, I'm saying, if Smeltzer is this good after having just flown in to town, imagine how good he would be if Rocco let him settle in before throwing him to the wolves?

Good job, Duffey, way to prove me wrong!

The Royals have been giving us some free outs on the bases lately, I guess we'll just take 'em!

Twins need to find some new singers

 

 

The “book” says you take him out before he has a chance to lose the game.

 

At one point, the "book" (written by Jack Morris) said, "You're in the bullpen because you're not good enough to start."

 

"It'll take Joe West a while to get in from 2nd base."  

 

Nice subtle line, Richard.

Had me Laughing !!

So can Smelzer replace Perez in the rotation now? When Pineda gets back, can we go with Berrios, Odorizzi, Gibby, Pineda and Smelzer the rest of the way? I've seen enough of Perez to know exactly what we've got - and I've seen enough of Smelzer to trust that he's an upgrade.

Bieber becomes the first pitcher since 2017 to throw three complete games in a season! Let's name a holiday after him!

Let's get some insurance runs here!!!!!!

So do you save Romo and Rogers for Atlanta by bringing in Harper and May to close it out?

I know you're being snarky, but Smeltzer flew in yesterday so you have a moot point.

Baby Baby Baby Ohhhhhhh!!!!!!

No. You gotta win the game your are in position to win. What happens if you throw Harper and May today, and they give up the lead and you lose, and then tomorrow you find yourself down? Then you saved them for nothing.

Castro bomba

What about Castro ??

CASTRO CRUSHED!!!!!!!!

CASTRO!!!

Nice, Castro!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Castropalooza!!!

Castro!!!

Good time for a slumpbuster JC!

 

Lately, it seems he's easily overpowered by anything 92 or higher.

 

I'll take Comments that Aged Well for $400, Alex.

I agree.

Of course, the plan could change with a few more bombas.
