Good chance we see these guys again,

I should have included that Rocco’s decisions yesterday did not hurt because the Twins won, but the moves were still puzzling. 
 

Do the Twins send Sands down now? If so, who might they promote?

Why? He debuted in Yankee stadium. 

As a starter. This is a new role where I heard he was hitting 100. He could be a real weapon, if they have a methodical approach I'm willing you wait it out.

Of all the players on this squad, Correa has to come up with the bases loaded in the eighth inning.   I told my wife; this is going to be a double play.   No sooner got the words out of my mouth, when he hit into his major league leading double play.  Just think if we had Garver catching today, and they had Christian Vasquez.

I wish they would have pinch hit Jeffers

To quote from yesterday: "small Baldelli"

Was thinking the same thing at that point bro

Twins had their golden chance in the 8th to take the game but DP master Correa 'comes thru' again to kill the rally and ultimately...the game.

Leadoff bomb in the 9th was a no doubter. Twins had a great chance to sweep this series but between having to deal with Gallo not getting any meaningful hits since Lincoln was president and Correa with the DP's...it is what it is.

Could have then put Farmer at short.   But Rocco is beholden to his big contract guy.

That name does ring a faint bell, doesn't it?

Byron Tori, right?

They are never going to pinch hit Correa.  Vasquez went 0-5 and left 7 on base.   Jeffers hitting for him in the 7th was my move.

I don't remember molitor being very good at managing, but taking out Julien for Luplow is inexcusable 

If Molitor was still our manager we would be 12 games up on Cleveland.

Biggest test of the season coming right up, starting tonite. 5 game lead could shrink to 2 games by mid-week. Or it could grow to 8 games. Twins must win at least 1 to remain relevant in this race. If they let Cleveland own them again this September, I don't think they deserve post season. they really let yesterdays game slip away. It was theirs for the taking in the 8th. Gotta bear down and not let chances go by. Are Correa's DP's getting to be just as annoying as Gallo's 'k's?

Yes because 2 outs are worse than 1.
