I gave that a haha-like, even though what the site needs is an eyeroll emoji because that's more what I did, than laugh.

How many karaoke bars have you been banned from for that?

Hanging Sliders....

Even the new guy wilts in the 6th inning. Just incredible 

[Parfigliano]

Rut roh especially with Twins penchant for not adding on runs

Getting a tad uncomfortable at 3 run lead

A tad more than a tad now.

Rocco put Pagan in again?

In fairness, it's also no longer a 3-run lead.

Here come the excuses from Justin

Bars?

 

Sober, things are hard enough...

I'm no drunken master...

[ashbury]

Now Mahle needs to throw a complete game win with no more runs, to come out of the game with decent looking stats.

I mean, there was zero reason to pull him coming into this inning. Even now he’s only at 82 pitches. At some point, these starters are going to have to buck up and get outs 16-18

He's a Twin starter and totally committed to his new role

How much is a tad? 

And is the second tad merely a tad of a tad?

On a scale of 1 to a tad, how would your rate this poll?

The guy was literally crusing through his first four innings. Then all of the sudden he allows three long balls.

Yes.

 

(see i was paying attention)

[Danchat]

Rocco finally lets a starter go in the 6th inning and he falls apart... of course.

Cruising and a 4 run lead coming into the inning. If you aren’t going to let a guy start the 6th under those circumstances then maybe mlb should allow teams to carry only 2 bench guys and make the rest pitchers
