Get Berrios out of there

[Aggies7]

Clown show

[LVTwinsfan]

Terrible outing

[HawksNest]

I am 100% in full-blown panic mode with Berrios 

[mrtwinsfan]

ROCCO   10 DAY HIM NOW,  STRETCH RUN STARTS SEPT 3RD ,  ITS   Insane lately

[FlauerPauer]

Only the Twins...

[FlauerPauer]

Why is Berrios still in the game? Rookie managers...

[Aggies7]

Pineda starts game one should the Twins make the playoffs.

Should they? No they shouldn’t.

[FlauerPauer]

Astros/Yankee hitters are going to have a field day with Berrios if the Twins make the playoffs.

4. Classic Big Band Singers: Nat King Cole or Frank Sinatra?

Welp...

 

Shall we give your ol’ conversation starter a shot?

[bighat]

Terrible. La MaKina is broKen. And so is Rocco's brain. These are must-wins.

[USAFChief]

 

Ronny Rodriguez with the grannie?!?!?!?

 

CHIEF, THIS IS ON YOU!!!!

And Rocco.

 

AND ROCCO.

he is out.

[Danchat]

This was my argument for putting Berrios on the IL... we can't win with him now, we should we keep him in the rotation and watch him pitch poorly and lose games?

 

I'd rather have Devin Smeltzer starting and have Berrios rest his arm.

[John Kelsey]

 

Should they? No they shouldn’t.

 

They're 77-50, relax. 

[Richie the Rally Goat]

The Twins are down 2 in the 6th. Settle down

[MMMordabito]

Berrios still has options.

[USAFChief]

I have no idea why Berrios faced any of those last three hitters. That is INCREDIBLY bad managing. Mind boggling-ly bad managing. 

 

Come on. You're in a pennant chase here. That can't happen.

[mrtwinsfan]

Laughing in Cleveland for sure!!  Cant start another series with a loss,   getting old

[FlauerPauer]

The fact that Duffey's nickname isn't "Duffman, Oh Yeah" is a sin.

[Blake]

 

And Rocco.

 

AND ROCCO.

What did you do now?

[bighat]

This offense better start scoring 8 runs per game, pronto.

 

I don't think the Twins currently can sustain their lead in the division unless something changes.

 

Openers are needed. Time to experiment with the philosophy.

[FlauerPauer]

 

he is out.

 

I was talking about after giving up the slam. That's managing 101. Dude clearly doesn't have it against a AAAA lineup and was allowed to face another batter?

[Blake]

 

Willingham, Doumit and Arcia?

Butch Huskey.

[jz7233]

Rocco left Berrios in there way too long. Clearly Berrios didn't have it. He should be pulled when bases were loaded. Ronny Rodriguez has some power.

Who? Ronny Rodriguez? He'd probably not make another roster in the majors. 

[mrtwinsfan]

Down 2-0  i gotta think were gonna hit , lot of game left,  

[Richie the Rally Goat]

agreed, he should have been pulled before he loaded the bases. It was just funny that your post came after he got pulled on my web stream which is on a delay

[Aggies7]

They're 77-50, relax.

 

About 5 games over .500 since June 1. Been mediocre for almost 3 months of a 5 month long season. In the weakest division in baseball.

[Blake]

What depressing is that the grand slam wasn't really all that much of a surprise.

 

And, sadly, again, an unknown pitcher is dealing against the Twins.

 

What in the world?
