The real Martin Perez took his time but finally stood up.

[SanoMustGo]

The team needs to win this game...can we get 4-5 innings from the bullpen, cause we'll need it.  Smeltzer does not look good.

[BH67]

Well, that was refreshing.

[Mill1634]

and there is gio botching another play that should be made. he makes some flashy plays but that's why the analytics dont love him

You've missed some scoring.

[mrtwinsfan]

ive counted 7 pitches this ump has called wrong,  Do umpires have to answer to anyone after each game,  thinkng about Angels call last night, why if he was blocked couldnt he ask for help from home ump , ?? 

[Winston Smith]

Give it all back Rocco.

You can’t blow a lead if you never get one in the first place 

Yeah, you’re a genius

[Mill1634]

LMAO. So predictable. Smeltzer is a really poor pitcher and never should've been given the chance to pitch to Semien

[Winston Smith]

Didn't see that one coming. 

[mrtwinsfan]

0-0 game 

[Aggies7]

You’ve got to be kidding me

[LVTwinsfan]

Maybe Smeltzer can pitch 2 more innings

[SanoMustGo]

just awful...this team is really starting to suck.  With our bullpen, this won't end well.

Lol they should have listened to me

[USAFChief]

Someone give me a reason Smeltzer was allowed to face those last 2 RH hitters.

Managerial malpractice. When you try to get more outs from your starter than you should, you often not only don't get those outs, you give up runs in the process. 

[Mill1634]

JFC. Keep him out there ROCCO!

[Aggies7]

Another mediocre team eating our pitchers for lunch. 

[MMMordabito]

JFC

Nobody warm.

We’re smeltzing we’re smeltzing

[Mill1634]

Smeltzer's next pitching appearance should come for a different organization or for the Saints.
