BYRON!!!!!!!!

What in the world was Robert doing? If he puts his glove up he at least has it hit off of his glove

[RickOShea]

IMO, Rocco continues to regress as a manager.  He's been around long enough to know the game, yet he continues to manage like a newbie.  If after this much time, we continue to play with such a poor baseball IQ, one has to wonder if this guy should alternative opportunities.

[Sutter50]

I suppose Buxton should have had an inside the park Homer on that one

And nobody gets triples on balls down the line in left

Definitely not Urshela. Does nobody include Buxton, or is this a rhetorical nobody, and I should ignore all the triples to the corner I have seen over the years?

And hitting off the glove is worth?  Maybe it will ricochet into the air and he can grab it/  Yeah, that's it.

Man on 3rd nobody out, how will the Twins NOT score here?

Buxton maybe, balls in the left field hit like that are routine doubles.

Do you really want to know?

[bighat]

And now Polanco's hurt.

yeah, that's not on either of them. It's on someone down in the video room. 

Maybe they saw something we couldn’t?

[Mill1634]

This team refuses to get a run in. Terrible AB from Polo

Probably a pop fly, a strikeout and..... they just won't get him in. Pretty sad situational hitting from this team.

[rwilfong86]

This is painful to watch.

Question for MLB is, if videos show a call was clearly wrong, why should reversal depend on a challenge? I understood the purpose of replay was to get the calls right for the sake of being right. Should just be overturned by the league office when its clear.

No one’s forcing you.

[MMMordabito]

Pitiful

[Mill1634]

terrible

[h2oface]

Buxton's best chance to score is just to steal home here! Nobody close to third. Induce a balk or steal home.

I'm not watching, and its still painful.

Yup. 

[Aggies7]

That is absolutely pathetic. One of the fastest guys in the league at third with no outs and we can’t put a ball in play well enough to bring him in. Utterly awful

[MMMordabito]

Completely lame

[Tlaker]

I grow tired of this team…..

not the Twins, just this particular team managed by this guy 

[mnfireman]

5 LOB thru 3 and 1 thrown own at home....just another day in Twinky Town.

Yeah because forcing me to watch the Twins would qualify as cruel and unusual punishment which violates my 8th amendment rights.

[USAFChief]

Bases loaded bottom 1, nothing.

Then 2 consecutive innings with runners on 3rd with no out...nothing.

Godawful.

Godawful.

But someone yesterday said we’re among the best in the league at getting runners in from third with less than two outs. So shut it ?
