GAME THREAD: 9/30/20 Minnesota Twins VS Houston Astros, 12:08 CDT

[TFRazor]

They need to take the bullpens keys away from rocco. He doesn't know how to use it yet.

[operation mindcrime]

Is Tony Diaz also our replay challenge person?

[FlauerPauer]

Replay shows that Tucker was in the motion of throwing with Diaz waving him in. Bad, bad play, Tony.

[Aggies7]

Is there really nobody better to pitch right now?

[Otto von Ballpark]

For those that don't like the runner-on-second extra inning rule, you can see Cincinnati and Atlanta play in extras right now without it on ESPN.

[TFRazor]

 

 

Can you challenge the third base coach's call on the field too?

I don't have the rule book in front of me so I'll have to get back to you

[TwinsCD]

This is a fireable offense pulling Berrios so early.

[mrtwinsfan]

1-2-3 needed 

[SF Twins Fan]

At least Kiriloff with be up third next inning!

[mrtwinsfan]

or were DONE

[Taildragger8791]

Pulled at 75 pitches?!? With 1 run and 2 hits? C'mon man. 

[Brock Beauchamp]

You know malaise is setting in when it’s a tie game and your body feels like the team is down three runs.

This is a fireable offense pulling Berrios so early.

The camera just showed Rocco cleaning out his desk, collecting all of his Phish stuff, plus some odd looking glass pipes, not sure what those are used for.

Ill advised send by the coach...I give Arraez the benefit of the doubt in that he worked a tough and important walk getting the runner into scoring position to set up the tying run.

 

What does Rocco have against his starters going 6 innings? Now the pen has to try and hold the Astros scoreless for at least 4 innings...a tough task. Does the 'book' say Berrios wears out in the 6th?

Tim K said if Arraez took a more direct route home he would have been safe

[USAFChief]

 

Their inability to get a hit almost dictates that you do.

Every 3rd base coach in the league sends him there with 2 out.

Running from second to home is the new market inefficiency.

it’s all anal ytics

[MNT1996]

Can't wait for Dobnak to come into this tie game after Stashak. He's Rocco's secret weapon

[FlauerPauer]

I could have sworn I remember Stashak throwing 93-94. Only hitting 90-91? 

[FlauerPauer]

Well if Timmy K said it, it must be true.

[Brock Beauchamp]

I could have sworn I remember Stashak throwing 93-94. Only hitting 90-91?

He’s saving something for tomorrow.

[TFRazor]

 

Tim K said if Arraez took a more direct route home he would have been safe

Is that direct route across the mound?

[Aggies7]

Well done stashak 

[LVTwinsfan]

Running from second to home is the new market inefficiency.

Id rather see him sent than get stranded at third, but base running is not Arraez’s forte

[Brock Beauchamp]

Is that direct route across the mound?

Best to run around the mound but that’s up to the runner.

[FlauerPauer]

 

Every 3rd base coach in the league sends him there with 2 out.

 

I hear ya, but when looking at the replay, Tucker is already throwing the ball. Arraez is slowww... with a bum knee and ankle.

[TwinsCD]

 

1-2-3 needed 

 

Granted.  Next request?

[Foghorn Leghorn]

Good job Rosie and Stashak. 

[LVTwinsfan]

Well done stashak

he has to pitch another inning right?
