The damn 8th inning

When you strand runners this is what always happens. Dang it.

How on earth do you not at least try to pitch around him 

Had a meatball on the pitch before it

Well, there's blown lead #11.

Had too many opportunities to extend the lead with RISP and didn't get it done.

 

Woke up a hitter who I think was in the 130's or 140's at the beginning of the game.

Bummers numbers are way better than he has pitched

You walk him and they hit Cruz for Larnich.

Yeah I still might take my chances facing Cruz off the bench vs a Sano with two homers already.  

Bummer gave up that homer on a 95.3 MPH sinker.

He usually throws the ball harder than that...96-98.

 

Refsnyder the hottest current hitter on their roster.

Umpire not calling 2 high strikes for Bummer and Lynn completely turned this game around.

Baldelli played this like a fiddle. Threw at Yermin, stood behind his player, got ejected for him, and his team rallies to tie it up. 

Thank you Bummer. ? Can't wait to see them lose to these a-holes in a walk off in Manfred extras. THREE home runs to the struggling Sano. You got to be kidding me.

I was just gonna say I trust bummer but I didn't hit send, I still do but weird to see him give up a homer that's for sure. 

He looked awful at the beginning of the season then seemed to settle down.  Hopefully just a bad night.

You disagree with what?  That Tony publicly humiliated one of his key players?  That the players took publicly Yermins side in social media postings?

I disagree that a ten year minor league player blows threw a sign because he thinks he is bigger in his first pro year of baseball. Yes I disagree. But maybe I should embrace like the trading floors back in the in day didn’t adapt to electronic trading. I mean fuck those traders on the floor.

I still think he's a top 5-10 reliever in the game. Just made one bad pitch to a hot hitter.

Nope. One player is owning us today. 

Rogers probably pitching for Minny. At least we've had some success off him before.

Just praying today isn’t the turning point of the season in the division. 

I think Bummer alone now individually has at least 4 blown saves...

Yermin is going deep in the 9th.

I don’t think he saw the sign, honestly.

Lard ass Sano has a an astronomical k-rate and has done jack shit all year, figures

Remember everyone that the Twins might be the 1 team worse than the Sox in extra innings...we can still win this one.

Eat their heart out this inning Yermin!

TWO bad pitches, back to back BAD sinkers in the zone. But....I still blame the offense up to this point.
