What was Rocco Baldelli Thinking?!

Never make your team weaker on defense in a tight game (tied or ahead). The removal of Donaldson was a glaring error of judgment.

Regardless of Baldelli's decisions, the players need to make the plays. Arraez' throw was the worst I have ever seen on a routine play for a third baseman. Even my little league third baseman makes better throws than that.

Everybody agrees there is plenty of blame to go around. More important is what happens next. Last night was a great start to a new chapter of the season. Hopefully the Twins will build on that. Learn from the past - live in the present.

i have just watched a game from 2019...it doesn't matter which one it was...but it was in August against the White Sox.

In the first inning Marwin Gonzalez made 3 soectacular plays that will never EVER show up in the box scores from the 1b position. Later I saw Eddie Rosario make an outstanding throw to nail a runner trying to go first to third.

I wonder if this crap team we are watching now could use a little Rosario/Gonzalez/Adrianza now. But Dammit that Derek Falvey us a genius isn't he?
