We're still in it. Only down by 6 runs!!

[CoastiePilot08]

So if Rocco had pulled Maeda, this would be a game now. FFS.

OK, maybe as a distraction from the ugliness, can anyone answer this? When I'm in this game thread (or any other one for that matter), and I get to the bottom of a page of comments and click on either: the next page number or the "next" button, why doesn't it go to the top of the next page? For me, it goes to the very bottom of the next page, which is a PITA, to then have to scroll all the way to the top to read the comments in order. Is it just me? Or is there some sort of odd settings  button I need to change/click?

It isn't a behavior i have experienced of late. Haven't been on site as much as in times past.

Does it reset if you reload the page? Or use the browser to go back to the last page?

Because if he pitched a 1,2,3 inning in the third why would someone be warming in the pen in the fourth? This isn’t a video game. And with the pitch clock it’s harder to get guys warm quick. Can’t just stall out there 

He was lucky to get out of the first inning unscathed after those 3 bullets he gave up. Then then second inning. With his numbers down and a rested bullpen, I’m surprised he wasn’t removed before even the third inning. Rocco played with fire and got burned

One thing I've noticed about this year that mirrors 2022. They haven't been able to put 6 or 7 game winning  streaks. Even with much better starting pitching this year. The hitting has been off for quite a few games I know. But good teams find a way to win the close games. I don't know if that has anything to do with the lineup shuffling. I think the Twins used the same lineup the 1st 2 or 3 games. I hope they can put it all together and go on a 10-4 or 11-3 type run. Separate themselves from the pack

Meada 3 innings 10 ER, Headrick 4 innings 1 ER.....Hmmmm🤔???

If you are on Page 5 of comments and click to go to page 6, it takes you to the bottom and you have to scroll back up to the top to read comments.  You can goo back, but it takes you back to page 5.

Nope; still does it. I believe it's been that way since I've been a member as well.  I'm using Chrome FWIW.

Yes, mine does it too and it is semi- annoying. 

FWIW I get the same behavior on my phone, but on my PC clicking on NEXT takes me to the top of the next page. I am using Firefox on my PC.

Headrick did contribute to Maeda misery giving up the homer and letting an inherited runner score in front of his. I score it 9 for Maeda and 2 for Headrick.

Yeah def. Maeda has been great, this was just an unexpected blip

Yeah, That's fair. Too bad life isn't fair. Adapt and overcome.

[Mortimerkenny21]

C'mon, 3 run homer Kep!

[Aggies7]

How great would it be to overcome a ten run deficit

Right? An ERA of 4.15 definitely means 10 runs in 3 innings was to be expected.

That'd be pretty neat

Epic

[SF Twins Fan]

Why did Rocco leave Maeda in the game as long as he did?  Clearly he didn't have it today and should have been pulled after the first few batters reached in the 4th.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Thanks for beating that out, Kepler!

Aren’t you the big analytics guy? Choosing to ignore the decrease in velocity from a guy who was just injured recently and coming off a bigger injury is interesting

Because TD spent all last season telling him he needed to let Bundy and Archer work out of their jams and quit pulling starters in the 4th or 5th. Give the people what they want!

A decrease of what, 1 mph over his 2021 velo? Really fell off a cliff, huh?

Apples and hand grenades. But go on.

[mnfireman]

So, Miranda hits 2 HR and then gets HBP. Headrick needs to answer.

Update: when I hit "next," the site takes me to the bottom of the next page,

But,

If I hit the "double arrow" it takes me to the top of the last page, which works if there's only 1 more page.

There were people calling for Archer to pitch more? I thought people were saying he shouldn't even be on the team. And to clarify I think people were saying pulling guys early with a low pitch count with little to no runs. But sure lets pretend people were calling for starters to go longer after giving up 5 runs in the second inning.

More hindsight 20/20 goggles. Where can you buy these?
