What kind of swing was that

M-V-P

Can we not have weak groundout after weak groundout please.

Happ got REALLY lucky that wasn't a HR. We take those breaks.

There we go

But in all realness, stop throwing BP

That was mighty close

Says that after a bad first inning. Where he (so far) has only given up a single run.

Come on Happ

I have a hard time making sense of this. I do consider Robles good...and I don’t have a super optimistic outlook about this relief staff. Unlike many others on this staff, Robles actually has good stuff, with a really good WHIP. Why do you consider Robles terrible? BTW, when were we ever relying on Dobnak?

Maybe long relief would be a better role for Shoemaker. The Twins could definitely use long relief arms rn.

In that context we have four decent goalies and four bad ones.

Well hopefully tonight is a blip in the radar for the pen going forward... Waddell is not a major league pitcher. He has little to no control, and throws 85. Enough said. When you only have four decent relievers it’s hard to get around. Perhaps Thorpe could be a long reliever. Caleb Thielbar is also not a major league pitcher, I think that’s been said enough. Glad the offense is clicking though.

That is true. Also, all of those runners were put on by the same guy (Robles). Hmm

His WHIP is also below 1

He throws hard enough, he can strike batters out and get batters out consistently. I trust Robles. Alcala might be finding his groove. Not a good night for the BP tonight but we’ll see.

Up to 1.80

Bad day for Rogers. He’s still good.

Rogers loves Spaghetti. Especially with Meatballs.

But I’ll take it

Geez the Rangers are bad defensively

It’s mainly due to Colome constantly imploding. I don’t think we have nearly as many BP losses without him.

I mean the BP has looked better as of late, so that’s slightly encouraging.

Hopefully he finds his shape.

It’s tough getting around with only four reliable relievers. If our starters can’t get past the 5th we will struggle.
