Outsides of the twins inability to score a run in the simplest of situations, why was Megill brought back out for a second inning? Makes zero sense. 

Megill and Pagan have the longest rope of anyone on the staff. It’s embarrassing and stupid. Megil is a super useful reliever with a great fastball. Very effective if he is used correctly

So is San Francisco.

 

Sigh

Is the 9th inning hill now twice as tall? Or 3 times?

[Danchat]

I think it's time to stop using Megill in close games, he may have great stuff but he's very hittable. Not sure why Lopez or Duran aren't pitching the 9th, seeing that it's a one run game and they didn't pitch yesterday.

[AlwaysinModeration]

Twins are getting strategically outplayed in the 8th and 9th inning in this game.

[USAFChief]

Ok, I'm officially over Rocco.

[Parfigliano]

Outfield doesnt know how many outs.

Par.

[RpR]

Ahh, Gordon, Arraez, Miranda the zero for four club.

That and Celestino's play are the Twins under Rocco in a nutshell. I've had enough. 

[RpR]

Not to be pessimistic, but it will be up to Sanchez and Arraez to not lose the game.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Tying run at the plate, for what it is worth.

 

Productive out?

Shocking

[RpR]

The real Twins team has returned.

[RickOShea]

Twins have more emp;ty seats behind home plate, than they have in their own dug out.

[Parfigliano]

4 inches inside strike

[USAFChief]

How big is that run in the top of the 9th now?

[D. Hocking]

Two runs with two outs - as expected.

In Jake we trust!

Aging like fine cheese!

OK Miranda can either win the game or go zero for five.

 

[Nine of twelve]

Cave comes through. As expected.

Does that make you general manager?

I hope it is not big enough.

[mrtwinsfan]

polanco hurt ??

[sampleSizeOfOne]

So we start 10th with Miranda on second?

 

If Correa had been tagged, would he have started there?

[AlwaysinModeration]

Can we have Duran now?

[RpR]

At least Gray can't lose the game.

To bad Beckham is gone, we need a fast runner, not a tortuga.

[Crackedfungo]

Shocked that Cave delivered....He and his sub .200 and sub .600 OPS.  Glad it worked, but the decision to have him bat in the playoff stretch run is asinine.

His weaknesses are being exposed by father time.
