chw42 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 We either get ahead of Polanco and walk him or fall behind him and give up homers. It's getting pretty annoying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn12 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Splitting a series at HOME, against this terrible MIN team, is a bad way to go into a road series against a 1st place team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Deep Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Fucking Codi Heuer. This whole bullpen has regressed and I just don't get it.... Heuer, Marshall, bummer, Foster, crochet........ All from last year..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EloyJenkins Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 IMO you have to get Kopech ready as a starter. Cease just throws too many pitches to be effective come advanced scouting in the playoffs. Which unfortunately means trading for 2 RH relievers at this point to replace him and Codi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the only thing we've got going is that they just got swept by KC at home. They also threw their worst 2 starters against them though. We're gonna get their best 3.

SonofaRoache Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Trade for two bullpen arms. Those 2, Kopech, Hendriks, sparingly Bummer, and Crochet. Everyone else can EAD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 This game might still be tied if we just got Polanco and Simmons out with 2 outs and nobody on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's an argument to be made Kopech is more valuable going 2 innings multiple times in a playoff series rather than going 4 or 5 innings once.
