Them chucking all of those zeros so far today kinda blows the usual bullpen doubleheader workload scenario. Could still go extras though, say like 16 innings or so?
We can hope.

The pattern of being down by five or six after four innings obviously isn't good. Why we continue to save the bullpen is the headscratcher for me.
To be fair, when I look at our bullpen, they don't exactly exude a 'we can put a stop to all of this scoring' vibe........
This is a good take. I hadn’t thought of that before but I would bet this line of thinking has got to be used in some games.To be fair, when I look at our bullpen, they don't exactly exude a 'we can put a stop to all of this scoring' vibe.
I could be off, but I sorta feel like Rocco and Wes think we can put 5-6 runs on the board and don't go to the bullpen when the starters clearly don't have "it" on a given day. It's a dangerous game to play and it won't work against teams that can keep adding to the lead as the game progresses (like, basically every playoff team)
Not really too close, had him by a few steps. Didn't really have a chance.For those watching, how close was the play at homeplate in the bottom of the ninth?

As a Cub fan in Minnesota I would prefer the Twins kick the **** out of Milwaukee.Good to read that the Twins players aren't fretting about this little downturn, but I wish they would stir up some urgency. Milwaukee can hit right along with them, and their pitching has been suspect as well. Could be an interesting 2 games.
