Such a stupid managerial move. That's inexperience plain and simple.  Going forward at least until July 31st, Rocco needs to manage by Game Thread input only.  I'll call Pohlad right now.

Is that Willians on bass? Sheesh, he really does do it all!

 More of the side story. Even in the Mets' fans minds. They saw the same comedy we did.

 

Agree. Story of the game was the embarrassing-but-can't-look-away catastrophic implosion from the Twins pitchers.

 

Hey, Twins should be able to climb at least within 5 by the time the 9th rolls around.

One swing of the bat by "Grand Slam Eddie" and we have a real ball game!

 

Whoops. The chubby guy is up....

Anyone think the Mets bring in an untested reliever who just arrived on the AAA shuttle right now with the bases loaded?

 

Ok A-Stud, let's hit one where they ain't.

Shine coming off Astudillo a little bit here in NY.

 

He's been grounding out to 3rd base on the regular right about now.

Astudillo will be setting a Twins record for GIDP if you makes it all year. Contact can be cruel.

 

The Twins really needed him to elevate a sac fly right there. He seems to be just pounding balls into the ground and that's not a good thing for him. I'm guessing he grabs some bench at least the next 2 games.

NOW Baldelli puts in May! Sure. Wait until you are behind by 4 runs or more..... good idea. Stick to late innings, not when the game is turning......

 

Ha.... now May walks the first batter..... un f-ing believeable. Only 10 walks so far....

Not even close. You always pinch hit after the sixth, unless you are way ahead. And that doesn't make up for the first two or three awful at bats for each team.

 

Disagree. It more than makes it up for me. There's even strategy involved in the lead-up to a SPs ABs.

To some of us, it isn't the end of the world having to endure a couple Odorizzi ABs.

 

Baseball is the true thinking man's game, it has survived and thrived in the NL in the Dh-free era.

The DH - which I am ambivalent about - always made me think of the little league pinch runner rule. So kind of little league in the MLB. I don't mind it either way though. But I think pitchers should know how to hit, too. Playing baseball means batting and well as playing the field.

Logically following... this also implies that DHers should be in the field....

The current record holder is a Hall of Famer. So, he would be in good company.
