I'm watching Red Sox broadcast of this game because I can't stand to listen to LaTroy Hawkins(I'm guessing he's on as he was in NY). He's AWFUL!

Wow, Twins are playing a good game, winning, and all you can think to say is how awful a broadcast is that you aren’t even listening to? Go away.

Roccos style of management has accentuated the 1 inning reliever.  The more relievers you bring in, the greater the probabilty of 1 or more not 'having it'.  Stretch these guys out.  And for heaven sake don't bring your closer until their is  a save opportunity. (Hopefully won't come into play, tonite)

Roccos style of   MIS-management has accentuated the 1 inning reliever.

I wonder if Larnach may have tweaked something when he dived for the popup. I hope he's okay.

What i miss?

Yeah, he’s really mismanaging the one-inning reliever tonight. It’s all about who does their jobs more than anything imo

[stringer bell]

Gallo juuuust missed it.

He's doing a better job managing the bullpen than Molitor, and it's really not very close.

Most managers these days have relievers go one inning, so this sounds more like a "I don't like modern baseball complaint, and I'm choosing to blame Rocco for it" complaint than anything else.

Rocco has also has had relievers go multiple innings (including this young season), so I don't get the complaint here.

It’s a misperception. You also have to have relievers that do their jobs. While ours have been pretty good this year, they aren’t perfect nor will they be

[mrtwinsfan]

If Gallo can average one K a game ,  were in for a Fun year

Tough crowd,  was meant as a joke

[jkcarew]

Everyone realizes Headrick is a starting pitcher, right? It’s not often you have a rested starter in the bullpen. This was the exact right situation to take advantage of that.

so used to people hammering on Rocco in the gamers that I missed the joke too.

[Squirrel]

Well, if Headrick can keep that up, we have a long reliever

Okay, now Rocco's parade of relievers, who will make things interesting, and  possibly let Boston make things tight.

As you were saying…

[mrtwinsfan]

Nice job Kid   and a old school Save!!!!!

[jmlease1]

Very nice win by the Twins tonight. Wouldn't have minded a little cleaner performance from Ryan, but he chewed up the innings with a big lead just fine. Loved seeing the offense bust out.

[mrtwinsfan]

After last game Debacle,  Twins Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!

[stringer bell]

Do the Twins send Headrick down? Cruel business, but an option here wouldn’t be unprecedented. 

[stringer bell]

I don’t mind LaTroy. 

[mrtwinsfan]

3-3    road trip,  No goofy get away  lineup tomm. PLEASE

Maybe, but I suspect he’s back to St. Paul in favor of Megill, since Sands hasn’t been down 10 days yet.
