GAME THREAD: Twins vs. Tigers, 4/26/22 @ 6:40pm CT

What's the deal with all these face masks? The Twins should be wearing short sleeves too. Maybe Rocko needs to go and we bring in Bud Grant to manage. 

"Viruses cause colds, cold weather doesn't" 

[Mill1634]

oh FFS. 

[Steve71]

If the Twins lose this one, it is 1000% on Rocco's poor bullpen usage.  Ridiculous. Idiotic.

[Aggies7]

Serves us right. 

[Mill1634]

you CANNOT throw Baez a strike on the first pitch. He swings at everything, and lives for big moments.

Hill was not a PH. Haase made the 3rd out of the 7th as a PH.

OP was "all the RH hitters", Thielbar faced four, three in the eighth, and as I said, one was a switch hitter and one a pinch hitter.

[Mill1634]

Thielbar got them out of the 7th. That should've been it. He's done nothing to show he deserves a set up role. I know Pagan gave up the homer, but I would've liked to see Rocco send out Pagan/Duran/Smith for the start of a clean 8th inning. 

[Steve71]

And to top it all off, the TWolves are gagging away another game late.  Man, what would it be like to be a fan of a city where teams are winners?  Must be nice.....

[jun]

Thielbar needs to be released asap.

[RpR]

It is baseball , such things happen.

[Steve71]

Mill1634 and I see it exactly the same way.  Why put Thielbar back into the game in the 8th?  They had a day off yesterday, everyone should be available.  Stupid as heck.  Brutal managing.  Someone broke Rocco's computer.

[LVTwinsfan]

The lack of reliable bullpen arms will burn the Twins continuously throughout the season

[twinssporto]

The ragin' Pagan can spot some nice pitches when he wants too. 

[Aggies7]

We’re going to need more people to contribute other than Duran and Smith or you can get used to nights like this

This didn't age well. Apologies to the gallery.

Your first problem was expecting anything else but disappointment

That is what you get pronouncing his name wrong.

[Aggies7]

Can this dude throw a strike or what? My god

[Aggies7]

He can’t throw anything other than a fastball for a strike

I've been waiting since 1991....still waiting. Biding my time. 

[Mill1634]

The Wolves, Wild, and Twins all gave up the lead within 5 minutes of each other. Incredible

[stringer bell]

That inning was disappointing.

I'll bet that the Vikings got outbid for a free agent at the same time. 

[MMMordabito]

That was an inning I could have done without.

I was 5 in ‘91 so I have known nothing but disappointment

[Danchat]

Yeah, Thielbar should have gotten a quicker hook, but this is what happens when you have a bad bullpen.

[twinssporto]

Arraez finally in. Keep the .300 hitters on the bench (all two of them)

That's crazy talk. They traded the next five years of draft choices for Herschel Walker. 

[Mill1634]

Buxton just missed that.
