For who? Just a question.  Or what scenario. 

Right now, either Margot gone or Kirilloff down. Big upgrade defensively and hard to be worse offensively.

Well yeah. If we're talking about elementary school playground games

Principle still applies, although more selectively. Perhaps get him work at what he most needs. (But thanks for understanding my point, I appreciate that)

 

Heavy is the head what manages....

Jackson isn't it...

[Parfigliano]

Hope a not caught foul pop isnt a problem

[h2oface]

That totally sucked for the Twins and Jeffers. Could very well affect this ball game greatly. That would have been 2 outs. Gotta see the ball to catch it. Would have been routine pop up to catcher.

Morneau always has such compassionate excuses for our guys.

Could just as easily be 2 outs with men on 1-2 if not for the seeing-eye grounder from Garver or if Jeffers saw the popup

[David HK]

YIkes!  This Jackson fella- I've seen way too much of him already. 

There's gotta be an arm in SP or the waiver wire...

Definitely.  Everyone has to learn that sometimes they just don't belong.

Somehow i doubt that is a useful life lesson.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Okert time.

 

Hope he is the wet blanket we want.

Learning that sometimes they just don't belong was useful when I was teaching people to hang glide. Sometimes people want it very bad, but just don't have the right stuff. At least playing baseball, the consequences aren't gonna kill you. Probably.

[wabene]

Morneau needs an editor

[Aggies7]

Third deck! Wowzarooni

[Parfigliano]

Ouch 3rd deck

Could be the odd man out when Topa gets here.

[CCHOF5yearstoolate]

wow that's Cruz territory

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Jackson needs to go...

He wasn't.   AARGH. 

[Tlaker]

🤮

[wabene]

One pitch pitcher

[IaBeanCounter]

Combination of Jackson  and Okert is bad news

[Hrbowski]

Jackson should be DFA'd or converted to a long reliever. Definitely not a leverage guy.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Sands couldn't pitch two innings?

I understood your point. And that statement works both ways. In regards to getting the player work at what he most needs Mr. Shakespeare 

[RickOShea]

When you're asking your self, who is this guy? and it's this late in the game, your manager needs a little tweaking.

[UpstateNewYorker]

Provus pointing out that Julien and Larnach are out of the game. Two of our better bats.

[IndyTwinsFan]

Why didn't Rocco leave Sands in for this inning, with only 8 pitches thrown?  Or is there some rule in his analytical spreadsheet that says that relief pitchers are not allowed to pitch multiple innings in a game.
