best a.b. for cave this year!!

*plate appearance.

[Mill1634]

Good for Cora. Rocco would probably go high five the ump

[ScrapTheNickname]

The second horrific home plate umpire call that went in the Twins favor in two days ... AND WE CAN'T TAKE ADVANTAGE???

[Aggies7]

struck out twice lol

[Cap'n Piranha]

Well, that was a whole lot of delay for absolutely no reason.

[bighat]

Who's worse, Jeffers or Garver?

[Aggies7]

are we really going to let riddle bat here? 

[MNT1996]

strike 4

[Aggies7]

 

Who's worse, Jeffers or Garver?

yes

[USAFChief]

Strike four!

[chaderic20]

 

Willians is out of the game

Missed that, but still, isn't this why we have three catchers? Pinch hit JD here and then put Garver in to catch.

[bighat]

Always nice to have a team on a 5-game losing streak relying on JT Riddle and Alex Colome in a game tied in the 9th.

 

You'd swear you were watching the Baltimore Orioles right about now.

[Mill1634]

There is no way we just let Jeffers bat if JD or Buxton are anywhere near healthy. I get wanting to keep guys confidence up, but for petes sake, we have a game to win. And if you're going to PH JD for Riddle, hit him there where there is only one out.

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

One season of lucking into a team that broke the HR record. And a fake 2020 season. Those Division wins were not Roccos doing my dude

[Cap'n Piranha]

Any reason whatsoever Donaldson wouldn't hit for Riddle?

[Aggies7]

will anyone from the press ask rocco why his third baseman was halfway towards second with a 3 run lead and the bases loaded? incomprehensible management

[bighat]

A shame to see both Bux and Donaldson clearly don't want to play today.

[MNT1996]

 

Any reason whatsoever Donaldson wouldn't hit for Riddle?

 

He has a paper cut on his pinkie. Can't play

JD is exhausted. He ran just yesterday.

[Cap'n Piranha]

I am flabbergasted that Garver is hitting for Riddle, and not Jeffers.  This is completely illogical.

[USAFChief]

I try to be fair...I don't blame Rocco for going to Robles, or Rogers. I'd have sent Big Mike out for the 8th, but it's a tough call and I think that's entirely defenseable.

 

But not PH'ing for Jeffers?

 

C'mon. Seriously??

[cHawk]

Who’s to blame for this?

[Aggies7]

i'm well past my "just happy baseball is back" mode. this is a rough looking team

[bighat]

By the way, Jeffers just needed to put the ball in play to score a run there. A basic major league player can hit a sac fly, that's just execution. If you can't do that, you shouldn't be on a MLB roster.

[HokieRif]

I'm just here to vent

[Cap'n Piranha]

So our infield defense in the 9th inning of a tie game will be...

 

1B-Garver

2B-Arraez

SS-Polanco

3B Sano

 

Question Mark?  Nothing's getting through that iron curtain of gold gloves!

[MNT1996]

 

Who’s to blame for this?

 

I blame the Russians

[Aggies7]

 

Who’s to blame for this?

which part? there was no reason to pull the guy who allowed 2 hits in 7 innings. that's where it started

That's a lot of HR to luck into.
