Damn, our two new relievers blew this game. Who are we, the Yankees?

Back to back series losses against the Orioles and Royals

Back to reality it is
One flew east, one flew west, one flew over the cuckoo’s nest.

Should have eased the new guys in with more comfortable leads.

At least now they know they can't use the new guys in close games

Offense was brutal today. Had so many chances to win the game. It should've never come to this point.

Dominquez was brought into pressure situations right from the beginning and delivered. So I think its just one of those days where he has no command.

Verland was more mid-high leverage with the Twins.. they did try one appearance to ease him in. Perhaps Yariel would have made more choice there, just to get Yariel some work (assuming he is not banged up a bit and they are trying to ease him along).

While Verland and Dominquez failed today, its nice to have 5 options right now in later innings assuming all is good with Yariel.

The seranthony guy has a reputation for being wild with pitches. Maybe they another Alex Manoah type pitcher. Lots of movement but no control

Don’t see this team playing well in that nonsense run environment, it will feel similar to those Orioles games

Yes although I’d be asking why the team’s best RP all year didn’t pitch in a 1 run game

Dan and Joe have called Freddie Fermin a highly rated young catcher a couple of times in this series. He’s 30.
