Honestly, what did Rocco hope to accomplish by bringing Romo into the game? He was obviously going to go to Rogers when the lefty came up. Why use them both?

 

Splits are indifferent for Rogers. No need to do anything but go to your closer.

Maybe he's keeping everyone involved in the game?

I'm not a huge fan of 'mixing and matching', but Rocco likes playing with his toys.  I'd have handed the ball to Rogers and say, 'You're my closer for a reason.  You got the ninth, buddy.'

Not a fan of alot of the bullpen moves,  sunday -  Kyle Gibson   ???  still wondering why

 

He must have heard the grumblings that the team is winning in spite of him and decided to one up himself.

Rocco had Jiminez on his fantasy team

Excellent team win. Now let's get to Giolito tomorrow and hopefully rock the pitcher on Wednesday. Let's go Tigers! Get at least one win and help out the good guys!

 

Goodnight all! See ya'll tomorrow!

Nice win! Take the magic number down one a day and this thing is over in a week (and a day).

Good Math...but math is frowned upon in GT

this was a big win. It was the last game in hand and we didn't waste it. 5 games up with 12 to play. To win 100 we need to go 8-4. I kinda see us going 6-6 but that would get the job done. Indians would have to go 11-1 just to tie us.

Berrios was great. The guys used singles and doubles to get the win. Cave and Rosario had poor nights but the rest picked them up. Arraez is something else isn't he!!!

 

Gotta say, our two bullpen acquisitions at the deadline have not been stellar. Dyson a complete waste and Romo has been so-so at best. However Duffey and May have been huge 2nd half pleasant surprises and Rogers has settled in to the closer role pretty decently.

 

A win at home! Wow! Meanwhile in a battle of 100 loss teams, O's split 4 games with the Indians next opponent Detroit. Would be nice if the Tigers could get at least one against Cleveland.

Giolito is out for the rest of the year. Lucky break for the Twins

Just checking...Romo has allowed runs in 6 of his 22 Twins appearances, which most would say is not horrible. He has given up runs in 3 of his last 6 trips. I'm sure Twins will continue to use him regularly. He is a gamer with lots of energy. Gotta like that.
