Watch Vázquez get a meaningless single.

I just dont understand how anyone can possibly defend Correa(and people do)

He should absolutely start. His D is mostly incredible. But batting this guy in the middle of your order behind the guys who always get on base is absolutely psychotic.

We see it time and time again.

Send a messge and bat him 8th. Hopefully the ego bruising causes him to wake up. Nothing he has done statistically this year says he should 3rd, 4th or 5th. Literally nothing. Not one offensive stat.

What does send a message even mean? You think he doesn't try? 

As for PH Farmer there? Ugh. Seriously.

tHANX , NOW EVEN mADDER

[GusGus11]

Sending up righties vs lefties doesnt work nearly as well when said righties are not good hitters.

Rocco acts like our bench is all right handed hitting October David Freese.

But of course, Vazquez gets to bat again...

These have been three emotionally and physically draining games...and I'm sitting on my couch! I'm guessing it's a little tough on the players too! 

Kind of a battle royal this series.

It means you stink and that you wont bat 3rd-5th off name recognition

[stringer bell]

Never could get over the hump today. Fully expect a Ranger walk-off.

Yeah, that CC GiDP might be the killer.

[rwilfong86]

Farmer in left field. 😵‍💫

I think you're right. 

[LewFordLives]

Cleveland is tied with Tampa..... again.

[rwilfong86]

Yep.

[AceWrigley]

And there it goes.

At least Winder only used 5 pitches.

To what end? What does sending a message mean? You think he doesn't know? You think he's not trying? 

[LewFordLives]

2 out of 3 ain't bad, but lots of missed chances today.

[Guest]

Yay twins bullpen does it again!! World Series bound baby 

[AceWrigley]

So, we took 2 out of 3 in Texas, that is a winning weekend  in my book.

[rwilfong86]

Gotta hope Tampa Bay beats Cleveland now

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

I think this is true in this case because it was their last lefty, so let Julien go and you have him the rest of the game. Plus he was 2 for 3 at the time.

Yep, they were able to come back multiple times against a good team on the road, but could have easily swept last weekend and this weekend. 

[CRF]

Disappointing loss, but to take the series down there is a good thing. On to Cleve and hopefully, take 2 of 3 there too. 

[Aggies7]

Let’s hope Tampa gets their heads out of their behinds 

[AceWrigley]

Twins pinch hitters went 0-4.

What does "not trying" have to do with anything?

The message would be "produce or stop batting in key run producing spots"

I am not sure what you are confused on. The term "send a message" is not synonmyous with "trying".

[mrtwinsfan]

Thanx   Correa and Vasquez,     , no more needed,   nice game  Royce 

[ChermesZ]

Vasquez needs to sit.  Pinch hit for him more than Julien and wallner.

Good one. They won't play Jeffers in more than half the games, even now. 

He played 2 of 3 against Cleveland last series. 

[Twinsoholic]

I was super puzzled by Rocco’s moves with the pen yesterday and today, but I was even more puzzled by his pinch hitting decisions. The young players do not need the bats taken out of their hands: Julien and Wallnef. I agree that right now Correa should hit no higher than 7th.
