This pretending that Colome is a late inning optoin again is not going to end well.

Not many other options when you trade one guy who closed and lost the other one to injury. Why it was important (and will be going forward) to win before extras. Just not many other options

The first base umpire takes a ton of time to call the play. What is the point? Just MAKE THE CALL!

Looking at the Bullpen Usage Chart in game summaries is very disturbing and depressing. I am aware of the options. Colome has no future with this team. No reason to not move on, with any other option. They have already decided they don't really care the rest of this season......

Just aren’t enough (more) reliable guys. Put colome in duffey’s or alcala’s place tonight and are we even in the 10th? Can’t hide him.

It would be remarkable if the twins can win the first two games of this series against the best team in the AL while getting 10 1/3 innings from their SPs, considering the bullpen options.

Team USA's ragtag team plays for the gold at 5AM. Did anybody see Joe Ryan's 4.1 inning start Thursday AM? The way he handled the plate umpire, and even got a fist bump from him chatting at the end of an inning, was priceless.

That runner on second will be key. If they don't score Simmons, I'm almost sure the Astros will at least tie the score.

Welp.

Just inept managing to not walk Alvarez.

Of all the extra inning games we’ve been in, I can’t recall a time Rocco walked someone to set up the DP. I’m sure it happened at least once. Maybe

Can Cave run for Astudillo, too?

Does that mean we bolster the defense and move Astudillo to third and Rooker to first?
