Johnson needs to make sure he takes a full warm up. If that’s 10 or 15 minutes, so be it.

 

Instead he took about 45 seconds lol.

[moonslav59]

One of those games where you keep telling yourself, "We had our chances."

 

I hope we pull this out- somehow, it would be a big boost.

 

With Velazquez & Johnson we are pushing our luck.

[d-money]

Here we f***ing go.

[iortiz]

He k'd 3 or 4 times last week in the game against the Rangers that we won with the Mookie walk off walk.

 

Probably this is a record for him, he’s 0-8 with 5 Ks, If I recall well.

[Jasonbay44]

He stepped out of the batters box, even Twins announcers said he did and showed a replay showing it..

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

At this point, you have to put this on the offense.

 

I completely agree. The BP has overachieved in these last two games.

[Jasonbay44]

By the way, I like the Twins announcers, very unbiased.

[moonslav59]

At this point, you have to put this on the offense.

 

Yes!

 

It was easy to throw blame at the pen, but with just 1 run scored in the last 10 innings with so many chances, it's on the O.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Probably this is a record for him, he’s 0-8 with 5 Ks, If I recall well.

 

It's very rare one gets to bat 8 times in one game. Maybe more.

[d-money]

Come on Johnson!!!

[Jasonbay44]

Yes!

 

It was easy to throw blame at the pen, but with just 1 run scored in the last 10 innings with so many chances, it's on the O.

 

At the same time, 1 run in those 10 innings would've been enough if the bullpen didn't blow two saves.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

By the way, I like the Twins announcers, very unbiased.

 

I agree with that also. Jack Morris is interesting.

[DontCallMeUncleRico]

We're up because we're rooting for our hometown team. We are true fans.

[Jasonbay44]

Johnson is definitely going to lose this game, he f***ing sucks.

[d-money]

Johnson is gonna lose it.

[moonslav59]

At the same time, 1 run in those 10 innings would've been enough if the bullpen didn't blow two saves.

 

true enough.

[a700hitter]

Johnson is a white flag of surrender in relief.

[notin]

Oh good. Brian Johnson...

[moonslav59]

Johnson is gonna lose it.

 

It looks like loss written all over it.

[DontCallMeUncleRico]

at this point it's a win just by losing. Save these guys some innings.

 

We had our chances but couldn't put these pesky aholes away.

[Jasonbay44]

Johnson is a white flag of surrender in relief.

 

Johnson, Velazquez, Josh Smith, Colton Brewer, we have a lot of those types. AAAA players.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Should be interesting what line-up mama Cora has set up for later today's game.

[notin]

At the same time, 1 run in those 10 innings would've been enough if the bullpen didn't blow two saves.

 

 

1 for 13 with RISP and 14 LOB is not a bullpen issue...

[DontCallMeUncleRico]

Twins are annoying AF.

[Jasonbay44]

That was predictable.

[moonslav59]

Johnson is a white flag of surrender in relief.

 

We got too many white flags in the pen:

 

Velazquez, Johnson, Taylor, Smith, Poyner, Thornburg...

 

We need pen help, and it doesn't have to be a closer.

 

[a700hitter]

That was predictable.

And very annoying.

[vegasbob]

Johnson is a sad sack of a pitcher.

[moonslav59]

Killed by Kepler!

[DontCallMeUncleRico]

We got too many white flags in the pen:

 

Velazquez, Johnson, Taylor, Smith, Poyner, Thornburg...

 

We need pen help, and it doesn't have to be a closer.

 

 

Well DD was never known for putting together strong bullpens.
