Thing I don't get about a Bullpen game is when you think of how many times even a Verlander or Cole when he was in blue & orange would give up a single home run early or just get knocked around a little until they found their rhythm and then it was lights out for the other team.  This approach brings in several pitchers who aren't on rhythm, and it's deliberate.

I get it if your staff is stretched thin or whatever.  Not sure I agree with Minny's approach for a Best of 5 Series.

And AJ had a good point about what the hell are they gonna do at the end of the game.  Bring in their blowout guys?

I just don't understand the pre- planned bullpen game idea. Their starter wasn't pitching terrible, so why not adjust and play it inning by inning with him? I feel like it is much more difficult to have 6-7 relievers all be on their A game than to try to squeeze another couple innings out of the starter.

Maldy will lead off the 5th of course. lmao

Maybe he'll take 7-8 pitches and get to the next guy for the top of the order.

That right center power alley upper deck is basically Crawford Boxes North for our heroes

The restrained disappointment in national announcers voice when the Astros take a lead is worth the price of admission

Adam Amin sounds like someone shot his dog when Abreu hit that HR

I don't think he realized how long of a HR he hit. I don't think he saw it very well.

 

Lulz, at Wainwright. He got the memo to pump up the Twins.
