Oh my f

[wavedog]

Urshela needs to get to the bag not just stand there like a statue - he did the same thing yesterday but nobody corrects their mistakes they make the same ones game after game

[LVTwinsfan]

Wow, we blew a lead in the 8th, what a surprise. 

[Winston Smith]

Has to be the worst first place team ever.

[tarheeltwinsfan]

Are you kidding me. Incredible. Inept. Pitiful.

[Aggies7]

At least we won’t have to pitch the bottom of the 9th

[CRF]

Wow...the stink is even infecting CC. That's real bad. 

[Irishman]

Baldelli has no clue at all!  

[mrtwinsfan]

 They will have to trust Thornburg

[Aggies7]

How can there be nobody at AAA better than this

[notoriousgod71]

Did Sanchez actually tag him with the ball?

[PDX Twin]

And, if we are lucky enough to get the final out here, we'll have to cover at least one more inning, and maybe two or three. Ryan?

[TheLeviathan]

All there is on the 40 is Strotman with an 8+ ERA and Henriquez with an 8+ ERA. Strotman for sure could be DFA’d and not be claimed.

Watching Cleveland flail away it's hard to believe the Twins are going to end up with a split of the last 8 games. All that angst about the division slipping away seems overblown. 

Your post definitely hasn't aged well today.

[SpicyGarvSauce]

You'd think progressive Rocco would maybe use a starting pitcher in a situation where they literally have no one else in the pen available?

About what? Not using Mariano Rivera? Baldelli being the default scape goat is getting soooooooooo old.

[tarheeltwinsfan]

We need La Tortuga to pitch the 9th.

[Aggies7]

Thornburg the magician

[SpicyGarvSauce]

I'd rather see Astudillo out there on the mound than everyone in this pen not named Duran.

Yeah, I don't get why all the best arms are still in AA. There's next to nothing at AAA that needs to be held on to.

Or the MLB bullpen.

[SpicyGarvSauce]

No worries, Jose Ramirez is due.

He'll walk it off in the bottom of the 9th.

[ChermesZ]

If we DFAed thornburg and cotton, who would be the most likely pitchers added to the 40 man roster?

 

we definitely need the help…

A serious comment: They need a longer reliever to pair with Archer. And I have no idea why they haven't done that yet.

I'd make a sarcastic comment about Rocco and the bullpen, but I'm too sad for that today.

What does St. Paul do when they need to close out games? Use position players? My local paper has them at 36-37. Not horrible

Could be Winder, possibly?

[Schmoeman5]

Correa probably should gave ate that 1. If it gets through its probably 2 runs anyway but the pen is on fumes. We need 8 runs here and now

[Irishman]

I think Twins are losing today.
