Game Thread: Twins @ Oakland A's 7-30 @ 3:05 CT

I can certainly make a guess why.

 

Well I know why but I figured the years gone by may have softened it a bit.

[Riverbrian]

Bullpen... Bullpen... Bullpen. 

 

That's all I got today. 

[TwinsCD]

And the question is asked ONCE again...

 

WHY THE F IS RYAN PRESSLY ON THIS FREAKIN ROSTER???

[spinowner]

Was Rosario playing too shallow on that? Shouldn't the no-doubles defense have been in place?

[70charger]

Well, crap.

[Danchat]

Wow, just wow. We know how to blow 5-0 leads.

[Aggies7]

Wonder what the record number of blown leads is in one weeks time

[kydoty]

And this is why we are not catching up to Cleveland or Kansas City in the next two months. That is the fourth time this week we gave up the lead in the 8th inning or later.

[spinowner]

OK boys, time to man up here and get us back in the lead.

I thought the same thing

[PDX Twin]

 

Wow, just wow. We know how to blow 5-0 leads.

 

At least we're consistent. 

[glunn]

I would have brought in Hildenberger.

Yes.

Sure looked like he was too shallow. 

[John Kelsey]

 

I would have brought in Hildenberger.

 

Absolutely should have been Hildy. 

[glunn]

I wish that Colon would give bunting lessons to some of the position players.

[70charger]

Phil ****ing Cuzzi!

[PDX Twin]

At least the Twins' veterans are loyal. Instead of trying to impress and win a trade to a contender, they seem to be content to go down with the ship. 

[Aggies7]

5-0

4-1

5-0

 

Those are the leads blown in the last week

[USAFChief]

In addition to playing fairly shallow, Rosario got a terrible jump on that ball.  Off the bat, even the hitter thought it was an out.

How many runs scored after the 5th inning?

Despite having all the tools to be a very good left fielder, he's been a very poor one this season. 

[Aggies7]

How many runs scored after the 5th inning?

We've scored two runs after the 5th inning since this past monday

Not to excuse his bad jump, but shouldn't one of the coaches have signaled him to play deeper?

[glunn]

 

We've scored two runs after the 5th inning since this past monday

Then at least it's possible.

[spinowner]

What the **** was THAT!?

[TwinsCD]

Real nice baserunning there, Kep.

[70charger]

 

What the **** was THAT!?

 

Bad baserunning

[glunn]

 

What the **** was THAT!?

Kepler has grown unaccustomed to baserunning.

Tough, but fair.
