An amusing post on another board about our pitching situation after Bush was taken out.

 

86 + no command in for 86 + no command

Thats called a Melvin special.

Would someone update me on the Bush vs Blue situation? I just turned on the game and saw Soup pitching. Thanks.

Bush was squeezed on a 3-2 count and had some choice words for the ump. The ump then took his mask off and followed Bush back to the mound yelling at him after Bush had already turned his back and headed to the mound. It took Kottaras and Counsell taking the ump away and Fielder taking Bush away to separate them.

Thanks for the update. I'm watching the bottom of 1 now (why would I do that). Absolutely bush league. The ump should have a suspension coming.

well, I guess things are back to normal.

 

I'm guessing you mean this in a general sense with respect to the season, and not with respect to Soup's last inning.

Other than left field, and third base when Casey is usually there, the Twins are better at every position on the field.

[Ranier]

Wow, I almost bought tickets for this one.

Well this is the Suppan we know and love.

[pete]

I feel a bit bad saying it, but I'm glad that Soup isn't doing well. I don't want him back in the rotation.

[ELCABALLO45]

Please let this be Suppan's last game with the Brewers

 

Wishful thinking, I know.

[PeaveyFury]

Suppan can't go more than once through the lineup. He doesn't have the stuff to fool the hitters if they get the chance to see him.

I don't want him on the field.

I don't want him in this hemisphere (as long as he's playing baseball).

[trwi7]

Our defense and pitching is awful. Solid foundation for winning games.

[TheCrew07]

So is this discussion about closers supposed to make me feel better about Hoffman? What if I don't like the entire closer concept and would rather my best pitcher work the toughest part of the lineup or biggest situation?

[ELCABALLO45]

If it was up to me, I would say screw it let Suppan pitch the rest of the game. And cut him tonight.

 

Also, how is that a hit?

[trwi7]

Almost every single hit is a rocket tonight for the Twins.

Jeff Suppan has that effect on teams.

That's what I was thinking. Leave him in until his arm falls off.

[benji]

How long will it take to actually have a major league playoff potential pitching staff?

[ELCABALLO45]

This would be a good time to get Lucroy some action as well, I would stick around to watch that at least.

[jjkoestler]

Jeff Suppan is not good at baseball. He makes me feel sad inside.

[pete]

I wonder if Soup thinks he's going to pitch after he leaves here. Surely he must be riding out this contract, but then you'd think he and Mark A could work out some ending.

[jjkoestler]

Is Vargas up in the pen? If so, Suppan is truly worthless.

[brewers19]

Wow, I didn't think that we'd actually be able to strike anyone out tonight.
