Game Thread Twins @ Royals 6:05pm cdt 8/8/2020ad

Welp. This game has been horrible 

[Nine of twelve]

Thud. Thud. Thud.

[bighat]

The offense explodes, gives the team a 2-run lead by scoring 4 runs with two outs....scratching and clawing every at bat, getting big hits etc...

 

And the pitchers come back and do THIS? Unforgivable.

[ashbury]

I for one am enjoying the dominant bullpen we have constructed.

[Aggies7]

welp, being the best team in baseball for a day was fun

[Mill1634]

Soler with 2 2 strike homers is not ideal

[LVTwinsfan]

I didn’t realize we were playing the Yankees this weekend

[bighat]

WOW. Unreal.

[stringer bell]

Ouch!

Just remember fines are doubled in a construction zone...

[Aggies7]

are you seriously kidding me

[70charger]

Okay, take all of the pitchers out. They can't hit it if no one throws it to them.

[Aggies7]

thats a BP fastball

[Mill1634]

So much for shutdown Stashak 

[operation mindcrime]

What a nightmare!

[h2oface]

Pathetic.

Me neither.

he's about to make me shut down my computer

[ashbury]

C'mon ump, at least give our guy the strike when he actually throws one.

[Aggies7]

starts and ends with your starter giving you three bad innings

[bighat]

Wisler warming up to put out the fire....

 

Hey Rocco - next time the Twins need to hold a lead, how about using May, Duffey, Romo, or Rogers?

 

Stop waving the white flag so damn often, Rocco.

[Don Walcott]

Royals are swinging the bat well. Not sure we should have expected great results from the pitchers we used today.

If only it ended there...

 

Still, we ain't out of it if this becomes a slug fest. We ain't exactly snails...

[Danchat]

Now the whole bullpen is imploding... Rogers can't close a game vs the Pirates, Romo had a suboptimal outing last time out, Wisler was mediocre yesterday, Thorpe stinks, and now Stashak implodes? What the heck?! Relievers sure can be volatile. 

[70charger]

Well that inning super sucked.

[Darius]

This team just isn’t as good as they looked over the first 12 games.

 

What is it exactly that people see in Lewis Thorpe?

[Aggies7]

well that was not fun

I can't say I liked using Thorpe here, but Stashak has been throwing fire lately, no reason to expect him to suddenly implode.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Oh yeah. My 9kth post went by without someome giving me a list strange subjects to connect.

 

What would they have been?

[PDX Twin]

We score 12 next inning. It's geometric series: they score 2, we get 4 to make it 4-2. They get 6 to make it 8-4. The next step is 16-8, so we need 12 runs.
