And this is why you don't bring your closer in for a non-save situation, especially after pitching 2 innings yesterday.  May couldn't have gone another inning?

Even yesterday with Cron and 2 outs-he was out by such a ridiculous amount, you can't send a guy when the only way he's safe is if the OF throws it to the backstop. 

 

With Puig/Cron yesterday. If the ball was up the line either way. Cron could have scored. 

 

They forced Puig to make a professional throw and he did. 

 

You gotta make a quick decision... Sometimes it works... Sometimes it doesn't. The odds are against you either way, because a hit is a 3 out of 10 coin flip. 

 

Today... They had 1 out. A Fly Ball or squibber to the left or right of any infielder by Schoop wins the game. 

 

Brutal Decision... Not even a teaching moment bad decision because it was completely obvious. 

 

You call him into the office and you yell at him.

Nice decision, Rocco.  One of these days, just ONE of these blessed days, you'll figure out the right puzzle to the bullpen.  Today wasn't it.

 

And that 3rd base coach should not be allowed to accompany the team to Milwaukee.

Yeah because we had to use him for two innings yesterday because we traded for an injured reliever and have NO ONE ELSE worth a **** that can get big outs in this situations. Clearly had nothing today, shouldn’t have been out there

Romo, Stashak, Dobnak.  I'd have been fine with 2 of those 3.  But not the closer in a non-save situation unless the game got later.

One of the more brutal losses in memory. With this, Buxton out awhile, Kluber coming back-I'd be shocked at this point if they won the division. All momentum and confidence belongs to Cleveland at this point.

This one hurt. Lost a 4 game lead in the division in a week. Bullpen before the 10th inning was solid. This part of the season is a dark time for the Twins let’s just see how they respond after today
