Risky taking him out after five.

Yeh I don't know, he still looked good in the 5th. But Rocco has all the answers

[mrtwinsfan]

Fullmer looked okay , bottom of order let him go, less relievers the better here

It’s the 4 relievers he has to use that worries me

A few more runs would be nice. I have a feeling we'll need them.

70 pitches. Has he done that many in rehab starts?

Probably not. It's not a bad call to get him out after 5 . Just hard to believe when he is cruising along 

[mrtwinsfan]

over under was 3 and a half on relievers,  3   and we win

[RpR]

On Gamecast , umpire seems to have a very wide strike zone.

Jake got ripped off

[stringer bell]

Ober hasn’t thrown over 70 pitches in an outing since June. He did a great job and maybe he can go 85-90 pitches in an important outing next week. 

[PDX Twin]

First pitch at 7:10; seventh-inning stretch at 8:55. My kind of game!

[mrtwinsfan]

Were up 3-0 and 3rd pitcher being used , Cleveland one picther, dont seem right ?

[AussieG]

I just looked at our bench... not very inspiring

Gordon threw his change up to Miranda

[mrtwinsfan]

Gordon b4 the play you gotta know whos running,  not after you have the ball,

[stringer bell]

Tough to turn two with Straw at the plate. 

[stringer bell]

Snap!

[mrtwinsfan]

Jax 0-2  tickle - tickle  with breaking ball   why outside fastball ????????????????????????????????  inner half yes

[IndyTwinsFan]

AARGH!!

[mrtwinsfan]

Same deal 0-2  you do not throw anything hittable

Agreed. Was expecting him to throw his best pitch there (slider). 

[USAFChief]

Heh. It's like nobody ever told a Twins pitcher not to give something to hit on 0-2.

[AussieG]

Urgh, just bad baseball again 

[LVTwinsfan]

This game really is a must win, pretty tough to catch them if they’re 5 games up

[LewFordLives]

Rocco's moves blow up in his face once again. This will go down in the books as another winnable game that got away.
