I wanted Dobnak in the rotation over Shoemaker from Day 1... I would insert Dobnak in and DFA Shoemaker, and claim whatever pitcher could help our bullpen. Or call up a young'un from the minors.

If you’re bringing in Stashak, that tells me you’re punting this game

Dang

Sigh. Guess I can turn this game off. Shoemaker was horrible today .

Good hustle all the way around, followed by an awful throw from buck. Not one of Buxton's better days.

Shoemaker, what a waste of a starting spot

It’s only 4-0. A lot of baseball left.

I tune in and see it's 8-0 now. How much more baseball do you still want?

Edit: and now I see it's 9-0.

 

 

IDK how I can somehow jinx the Royals into blowing this

Not much

Are we going right back to this mopiness, no offense, emotionally dead baseball?

Well, it’s one bad game. It will be CRUCIAL to win tomorrow.

 

Surprised we haven’t heard from anyone saying this team is terrible yet today.

well, the twins do have a hit.

Should the Twins try to come back and win this game?

Yes they’ve been terrible today.

Even good baseball teams have bad days like this - it just depends if this is the norm or not. So far this season it has, of course. Got to win more of the closer games.

 

Earlier you asked for a jinx... well, there's no way the Royals could possibly blow this game with their starter having a pristine 0.33 ERA!

Arraez. The .400 hitter. 

Riiiiiiiiiiigggghhhtttt.

 

His defense isn't as excusable at .269

 

I hope the boys can come through with an awesome 21st birthday win!

9-0 through 5 is looking ugly. Never know though...I've seen comebacks before.

Dobnak. Sooooo valuable.

 

The tiers on this pitching staff is drastic.

 

Get Buxton out of the game before he does something stupid in the outfield....

Time for Cave with this pitching crew.

Buxton made one bad play. Are you aware of how valuable he’s been to the team? Replace him with Cave. Sure. 3-pitch K after 3-pitch K.

Not that I want more of Cave, but today's game is over...

And it's two bad plays, to be accurate.

That’s fair.

 

I believe it’s Berrios tomorrow, am I right?

...... nuance.

So he doesn't hurt himself for the future games in a game that is over....... 

 

Looks like the management heard me.

Dobnak wants to be sure he wins the highest ERA of tonights staff......

That’s right. Shoemaker, Dobnak, and Stashak should not be pitching in meaningful time going forward.

Our catchers sure get a lot of catcher interference calls from being too close. Rortvedt steps in and does it too.

 

well, the twins do have a hit.

I love when a comment makes me laugh and cry...

Well there’s something to cheer about

WTF Happened to Arraez
