This ump ****ing sucks

Smalley agrees

Sano doesn't deserve an error for that

 

Lol, ugh ... auto correct ... Have I ever asked you about your avatar? 

There's an inside story to using that painting that I won't share here.

I'd leave him in up to Odor, at least.

Odor is actually better vs LHP this year.

Nothing’s easy

 

Odor and Odorizzi gotta be next to each other alphabetically in the ol’ Baseball Almanac, no???

 

John O'Donoghue, Odor, Odorizzi, Lefty O'Doul

 

he’s their best reliever. He shouldn’t be confined to an inning or situation

 

Look baseball for the last 50 years have had a definite closer. I feel you need to have that defined role in the bullpen. Rogers lacks guts. He's a pretty good pitcher, but he lacks the ompfh that I want in the guy who shuts the door a la Nathan.

He doesn't deserve an error but it was a big missed opportunity.  If they give up a run here you can point to that play

Didn't look it there. 

nasty pitch

Nice job, Taylor!!

Whew, just got out of there. I'd use Romo in the 9th now.

Not exactly pretty but I'll take it all day long.

... never had a chance.

Big time strikeout!

YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good call by Roy.

 

I was joking, too. Chill pills for everybody!

NO YOU CHILL FIRST MAN

John O'Donoghue, Odor, Odorizzi, Lefty O'Doul

Spaces? Hmmmmm......

I’m going to have a big issue if Romo doesn’t start the 9th (barring a bunch of runs here of course). If Romo can’t get the bottom 3 of the Texas lineup, what did the Twins get him for?

It's the 101 MPH cutter guy!!!

 

Whew, just got out of there. I'd use Romo in the 9th now.

 

With 3 right handers coming up? Yeah I think Romo should get the 9th too

 

Dude is going to be a stud if he keeps improving.

I don't think there's much room for anything but offensive regression in Garver.

 

But that doesn't mean he can't be an extremely good player going forward. He simply won't be historically good, like Mike Piazza's bat with Joe Mauer's glove. That's basically the best catcher in baseball history, which is asking way too much of Mitch.

Sequence of pitches, that last at bat

 

 

* chef’s kiss*

Nice of Dick and Roy to do their research and know nothing about this kid that all of baseball has been buzzing about past few weeks.

I was speaking more towards his defense. I don't think .265/.330/.460 is out of the question which would make him a really solid catcher.

This could be Graterol....

Adrianza is hitting .293...

Nathan is one of the best relievers in Twins history. I wouldn’t compare Rogers to Nathan. Rogers doesn’t have enough history.

 

Rogers has more multi inning saves this year than Nathan had for his entire career. He’s got plenty of grit
