I don't believe they're required to take infield either. 

Ridiculous 

Load management. You’re paying them way more than previous generations of players…so, it only makes sense that you ask less of them. Otherwise, they could get hurt and give you less yet.

3 lousy hits.

And a dozen or so strikeouts so far.

Maybe they should see if Jim Kaat can still swing a bat. He had a higher batting average than half of this team. Maybe one of the current pitchers can break the Mendoza line.

[CoastiePilot08]

Only two more innings to chip away at the lead. 
 

 

[Schmoeman5]

The lefty killer just got a righty. 

[wabene]

It's about thyme

[RickOShea]

Ouch!  tough time to take that pitch.

[OvertheHill]

Way to protect the plate CC. Shouldn’t be guessing with 2 strikes. This is basic stuff. 

[RickOShea]

Good productive at bat for Buck!

[9moons27]

Did the the Twins stick themselves with a $200 million dud?

Don’t forget the $100 million dud?

The irony is that if Rocco could have prevented it he would have.

Yeah, the first 1/24th of that contract hasn't been up to snuff

Give it time........a little or a lot more than usual.  He's here long term.

[Parfigliano]

Just me or every pitch is 82 mph

[IndyTwinsFan]

Solo homerun notwithstanding, yet another wasted opportunity that inning. 

[Aggies7]

Bat. Off. The. Shoulder.

[mrtwinsfan]

[OvertheHill]

16 K’s. Let that sink in. 

[RickOShea]

Too bad one inning (1st) dictated a whole game of frustration, for Twins fans.

[Jocko87]

At the risk of a jinx. The bullpen has been good tonight.

[Vanimal46]

16 Ks in a bullpen game. Words can not describe how much I despise the offense. 

[jkcarew]

Nice kinda under the radar career by Brandan Crawford…really good player for a really long time.

Careful they’re actually not that bad. Despise is a negative word.

Let's be honest though, Manaea is a starter and a starter many of us were tripping over our tongues to trade for.

I concur otherwise.

Look at these guys spoiling pitches, working counts. Wonder what Rocco is thinking? 

[wabene]

Welp we got the bottom of the lineup, er, ah, nevermind

[Parfigliano]

PH for Joey G?

[Aggies7]

Why can’t someone in the central just get hot and end this charade of pretending we’re good because we’re in first place ?
