If he gives up a hit, nope

How about if he doesn’t give up a hit? Lame.

Morneau is right Hawkins is talking out of his ass

Well now I have to jump on the fire Rocco train. This is a horrible decision. Give that kid a chance to do something that could be a once in a lifetime opportunity. Rocco broke me with this one. Have Moran ready, but let Ryan go out for the 8th.

The boos were justified. Now all the excuses are being made about how this was a good decision...best for the team...blah blah. Ryan was not happy and I don't blame him. This 'modern' baseball is for crap. By taking him out, does that mean he will definitely be as strong in his next start?

Bah--this really sucks. KC better get a hit because a combined no-hitter is no big deal at all. This isn't baseball. Its robotics.

What? Why?   What the heck Baldelli thinking?   I’m done with Twins.   Good Bye!

Well, that was not the correct decision, imo

So, from a guy like me, who detests Rocco, Rocco decided to make the wrong decision?  come on!

If a tie is like kissing your sister, what is a combined no hitter like?

Turn out the lights
The party's over
They say that all
Good things must end
Call it a night
The party's over
And tomorrow starts
The same old thing again

Fans .... Soul .... Tradition .... Roccobot does not compute !!!!!

[wabene]

Can't unread that one

[mrtwinsfan]

Still be nice to see no hitter

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Did we win yet?

[RpR]

Were there any no hitters during the asinine 7 inning double header BS?

[tony&rodney]

Nothing Baldelli does from now until the season ends will carry any weight with the players, nothing. Now I don't know what the tenor was in the clubhouse before tonight, but I do now.

I completely disagree with Hawkins. If whoever pitches the 9th gets them 1,2,3--big effing deal. Rocco spoiled the night. He can say whatever the heck he wants. His pitcher didn't want to come out. He deserved the chance to stay. Horrible 2022 decision. Just horrible. (yeah we're gonna sweep 5 from Cleveland now, right)

I don’t know about that. Seems like the roster has gladly embraced the attitude of their manager. Soft, no guts. Just happy to be there.

is he even here ??

Poll: maximum pitches you would let Ryan throw in pursuit of a no hitter?

Not at all. Human nature of highly competitive athletes. There are expectations.

130. But he was at 106. Highly likely he’d get to the 9th and then you just about have to let him try
