Please! NO! It's not like we miss Sano and he's the same guy.

Well, all games are important, but the series in Cleveland is really important. I guess we’ll need five innings from the BP to bring this one home and that won’t help much with five games in four days versus the Guardians. 

I really hate to say this but good, never mind playoff teams, dont 5 inning pullpen games.  

They just dont

And if it goes well, you’ll sing his praises? Come on with that stuff. It’s old and tired

His habit of mismanaging the pitching staff gets old and tired. 

[Mill1634]

That wasn't pretty, but good catch

If this inning goes bad, I will question Rocco's decision to bring Ryan out for the 5th. 

And if it goes well?

[ashbury]

Here's hoping Contreras can manage at least a scratch single today before they bring in a lefty reliever and he gets substituted.  Don't know how long he'll be up and I'd hate for him to get sent back down with a .000 BA to show for his time in the Show.

/ edit - it appears he's earned his keep today on the defensive side

[Squirrel]

Steak dinner for Contreas tonight, compliments of Ryan! What a catch!

And he didn’t mismanage anything here today, so let’s hear the praises now, he called it just right

I will still question the decision, just not as loudly.  He survived. Barely.

@rwilfong86  I’m waiting …

There have been more fly balls to the warning track this game...

Yeah … I sit forward in anticipation, then sigh and sit back …

[Mortimerkenny21]

Gomber took us out in 6 pitches...cripes!

We're only through 5 innings. It's early still ?

...EDIT: The Twins are placing RHP Joe Smith on the 15-day IL with upper trap tightness. Hopefully Smith returns as a usable reliever - something he really has not been in a month. Moran is now approaching the new limit of callups in one season (I believe this has to be the third time?)....

 

 

 

If I'm not mistaken, when they postponed the 13-pitcher requirement, they also postponed the limitation on callups in a season.

I think it's fair to say that if the Twins get out of this inning tied 5-5, we'll consider it a small victory.

[rwilfong86]

Bases loaded nobody out. Meh.

[CRF]

T-Bar is working real hard to get the Rox some more runs here.

[Mill1634]

This game is setting up perfectly for dissapointment

[Mill1634]

self defense!

[LVTwinsfan]

That’ll wake you up!

[Schmoeman5]

Hey! Let's blame Rocco for pulling Ryan

Theilbar is horrible, as are half of his teammates in the 'pen.

It's really Duran and Jax, I don't know who else gives this team a chance to win this game.

He probably pitched against St. Cloud earlier in his career...

Pagan entering with the bases loaded.

 

This is bound to go well.

I'm sure he won't walk the first batter and then give up a HR, no way that happens.

[Mill1634]

Pagan with a 3 pitch strikeout as I predicted. 

[Squirrel]

Perfectly managed by Rocco with the FO’s very weak and limited offerings
