Cheating piece of garbage

[MNT1996]

Goddamnit Alex Correa

[Mill1634]

uhhh...welp. 

[Vanimal46]

Letting Stashak go multiple innings instead of Berrios in the 6th. This is what we deserve.

[FlauerPauer]

ESPN is kind giving the Twins a 33% chance to win the game.

[mrtwinsfan]

at least we still have 3 catchers on the bench for Depth,  

[Aggies7]

How do you get swept by a team under .500 in your own house.

[insagt1]

Thank you bullpen.....lets get this over with. There is no hope for these guys. Whatever they do is wrong.You tie it up and they answer right back.

[MNT1996]

I'd be fine with Rocco getting fired too. Just get rid of the whole coaching staff besides the first base coach. I like Tommy Watkins

[notoriousgod71]

Berrios would be at about 92 pitches right now.

[JAWS33]

While I don’t disagree with leaving Stashak in today, it’s hard to understand pulling Trevor May yesterday after 11 pitches, but leaving Stashak in today.

[Brock Beauchamp]

The pitching has allowed 3 ER in 16 IP.

 

They’re not the problem, not even close.

[TouchEmAllGuy]

Come on boys! Don't lay down just yet!

[SF Twins Fan]

 

Where? in St Paul?

 

I'm watching on my phone.  I heard his was warming up, so I thought they pulled Stashak.

[flpmagikat]

 

When the ump was pointing at the box and telling him to get back in there, he's most likely also telling Rosie to watch himself.  I'd have run him too after the outburst on strike 3.

 

I'd respect it if they called games better than little league umps. But they don't, because they are awful at their jobs. Call the game accurately or gtfo, this whole season has been a joke.

Neither should have been pulled, IMO.

[USAFChief]

in play, run(s) please

[AlwaysinModeration]

Well, we needed the Twins to put up a run or two in one of these innings, so I suggest they not wait.

Baseball Gods: "We know we've been rough on you in the postseason, Twins. So how about we give you a chance in 2020? We'll give you home-field advantage - with the best home record in baseball - and your first round opponent will be a sub-.500 team."

 

Twins: "No deal."

 

Baseball Gods: "What if we make it so you haven't lost back-to-back home games all season?"

 

Twins: "Nope."

 

Baseball: "What if we make it so their best pitcher has to have Tommy John surgery before the playoffs?"

 

Twins: "Nah."

[Foghorn Leghorn]

This^ people bashing the pitching and Roccos decisions regarding pitching need to wake up.

 

The far and away strength of this team is our lineup. They look lost up there and haven't done ANYTHING. This series falls on our offense going cold when the games actually matter more. 

[TwinsCD]

I'll agree with you on that.  The new crop of umpires are horrendously overmatched and I believe that the umpiring roster is over 50% bad.  When that happens, you're going to have umpires like Laz Diaz, DJ Reyburn, and this clown behind the plate today getting big-game assignments when they shouldn't simply because there's no one else to choose.

[USAFChief]

When do we see Pressly?

[Danchat]

You guys wanted Stashak to go out another inning! Even if Berrios goes the 6th, Stashak still faces Correa in the 7th.

I'm wide awake and I know you don't pull your EFFECTIVE starter so damn early.

What if we put you against a team other than the Yankees? Also, against a team everyone even remotely connected with baseball wants to lose?

Captain hindsight is all over this thread. 

[Aggies7]

Floating strike zone

[Foghorn Leghorn]

Polanco did something positive

 

Just taking a second to acknowledge that

[MMMordabito]

0-18 here we come

[insagt1]

well I said before the game started....lets see what this team is made of. They have 3 more innings to show us.

 Weak hitting Polanco walks to open the inning. For heaven's sake Twins....MAKE THEM PAY FOR A CHANGE.

 

Does Marwin try and advance the runner?
