Game Thread: Twins @ Brewers, 7/27/22, 1:10PM CDT (11:10AM PDT)

He's not pitching good, but that 7th pitch on Wong was a strike 3.

[stocker08]

Are you ****ing kidding me?  Walks three straight batters to start the inning.....that's pathetic.

[SpicyGarvSauce]

Oh boy, good thing someone just woke Rocco up in the dugout.

Wait, I thought he was always woke...?

[umterp23]

So 3 innings, maybe I should play the lottery!

 

[SpicyGarvSauce]

So when do the Twins DFA Archer? Can Bundy be right behind him?

Man alive, is he ever off his game today.

This is the Archer experience most days. The bullpen has just burned down to the point that the Twins can't hide Archer's short starts.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

This is right where we want 'em, right?

[Tovar12]

And I thought Falvey and Levine were going to lead us to the promised land.  Who assembled this staff?

When Mgmt promises him starter innings to earn a reachable bonus, you get crap starts like this vs being a bullpen arm.  They have to man up and send him packing or put him in pen or crap add him to a trade as parting gift.  He doesn't deserve a rotation spot at all

 

[SpicyGarvSauce]

Here comes shut down bullpen guy Cotton to save the day!

[ashbury]

Bases loaded and you bring in the high BB/9 guy?  Hm.

[ashbury]

Gutty pitch there by Cotton on 3-2.  Give him credit for that.

Dude, Rocco is just showing BELIEF in his guys.

Come on, now. Don't question the skipper.

[Vanimal46]

Getting 18 outs from a shaky bullpen is not a recipe for success. The Archer steam is fading quickly. 

[KirbyDome89]

Watching these changeups dangle over the middle of the plate is high drama....

[Aggies7]

Sigh

[stocker08]

Free runs.  This is a clown show.

Seriously? "Most days"?

Look at the game logs. This tied his shortest start of the season and was certainly one of the few worst outings he's had as a Twin.

Most every starter has some days where they just can't find it. We just saw Sonny gray have a similar meltdown against Chicago. 

To act like today's lousy outing was representative of Archer's season is totally disingenuous. 

[Dave The Dastardly]

I'm leaning towards acquiring a bull pen guy... don't know why

I think it's already gone. At some point (hopefully soon) this FO needs to be more concerned about what Archer in the rotation is doing to this staff, than whether or not he's happy moving to the pen.

[Twins_Fan_For_Life]

Like a little league game.  4 walks in the inning.  Kiroloff picking dandelions in right field.

[MMMordabito]

Plethora of pathetic pitching in place here.

It's quite amazing, actually.

He has had high pitch counts early all year because he can't throw strikes. He is cooked, watch with your eyes. Done.

Who me? Because I disagree with your political stance?

LOL how typical.

I'm out.  Enjoy the rest of the game.

This game is getting a little too Rowdy for my tastes.
