I have a hard time faulting Baldelli for this, he went to his best reliever so far, Robles pooped himself, and then went to Rogers to get the lefty. It’s not his fault that all his relievers suck!

i mean, pineda had 88 pitches and was cruising....

I don't have an issue of WHO he went to, but rather that he did GO to them when Big Mike was rolling

[Darius]

I’m ready to move one from Baldelli. The guy makes so many bad decisions.

 

You need this game. Your starter is cruising at 80 pitches and you yank him for some washed re-tread from the bargain bin?

[LVTwinsfan]

Hasn't that been the case for the past 15 years?

you’d think they would learn that

[MMMordabito]

 

Two season, two division titles. One week, fire his @$$. Logic.

 

I wanted him fired after his first interview and several times since.  I don't like him as a manager or person.

Our bullpen just isn't very good. Been saying it all winter.

Based on what we’ve seen, that’s a MASSIVE understatement. It’s been HORRENDUS.

Garlick should be starting over every outfielder but Buxton at this point. He's an every day player on this team.

TBF said washed retread has been his best reliever so far.

I get criticizing him for his managerial duties today, or even the entire time despite winning, but what has he done as a person? Seems like a great guy to me.

There is plenty for which to fault Baldelli. He’s awful.

 

But, you’re right. It’s more of an indictment of Falvine and their awful decision making.

[bighat]

Great to have Cave, Jeffers, and Riddle up in this meaningful position.

[ScrapTheNickname]

 

Fortunately I have inoculated myself against frustration.

I don't believe you.

[Mill1634]

No way we're letting Jake Cave hit here

[Mill1634]

I guess if that is what you're doing I'm fine with it. 

[LVTwinsfan]

If the Twins score a run the bullpen will have a chance to get 2 blown saves in the same game

[Aggies7]

2nd and 3rd one out, what's the outcome gonna be here, folks?

[Puckett34]

Technically correct

[USAFChief]

Completely ok with sac bunt there.

[Mill1634]

popout, K

[mrtwinsfan]

best a.b. for cave this year!!

[chaderic20]

Isn't this why we have three catchers? Pinch hit JD here and move Astudillo to Catcher.

[bighat]

Heckuva bunt by Cave there.

 

That's what the Twins should be doing. More of that!

Willians is out of the game

[nicksaviking]

I'm not a big sac bunt guy, but I honestly can't imagine Cave's batting average would be any lower if he bunted every AB.

[ScrapTheNickname]

Colome warming up. This is quickly becoming a team I don't want to watch.

[Aggies7]

put the ****ing ball in play

[Mill1634]

what in the hell 

[MNT1996]

What a call. lol

[Aggies7]

rocco better get himself tossed here if it's overturned

[LVTwinsfan]

That play should be reviewable
