Rocco's got a pretty good voice.  Should consider singing over managing.

I have to say this, Denard Span is a all around better and cool-headed player than Byron Buxton

Has a little bit lower career OPS, but actually played. More than twice the career PAs than Buxton, in 1 more year of big league time.

I'd take Span over Buxton every day. Easily.

Provus just confirmed, Correa left the game because of the score. Nothing injury related.

38 pitches to get through the first inning, my goodness. I’ll put the Stooges back on I guess. Although this is some good slapstick, farcical comedy too 

Here ya go

this is a sloppy team, they win games against bad teams, but they don't  can't win games against top division teams,  including central division ouch

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if/when we get shut out for the third time in the past 4 games.

Their approach at the plate is awful...

I called it earlier. When this team gets cold, they really get cold. 

I mean look at this lineup: Margot, Farmer, Vazquez? Buxton and Correa are the only two players that would start on another MLB team. They're plumb awful, could be the worst team in the history of baseball to win 12 straight games, a future trivia question. 

[USAFChief]

The uh...Minnesota Women's Professional Hockey League team came back from a 2-0 deficit to win their playoff series and advance to the league championship finals.

 

So don't tell me Minnesota teams are cursed!!

yeah, really bad, team OBP is low, when they are cold, it's going to be like this

Thanks.

Yet another "big league" play by Castro. It doesn't matter this time, but c'mon. 

[Aggies7]

Tyler freeman just hit his third RBI of the game. Equaling the twins output since Tuesday 

[CRF]

Why don't we just give Castro his Gold Glove right now. 

[USAFChief]

Best bullpen in baseball.

[Patzky]

While it's not his fault, I'm thinking nothing short of firing Rocco will motivate this team.

It’s alright, his manager “talked to him about it”. I know some people who parent like that and they wonder why their kid is still a brat

[TWTwinsFan]

twins are trying to prove they not only can win 12 in a row, losing is a peace of cake

want some consistency? there you go

[ziggy]

Does anyone know if the Twins employ advance scouts anymore? They sure seem to be behind the 8 ball when it comes to making adjustments. It's not all on Rocco but geez louise they have 3 hitting coaches and are getting shut out for the 3rd time in 4 games.  11 to zero against their rival,  ANd the cherry on top, Smalley is stuttering and strammering more this year than ever before. He is unlistenable.

[Patzky]

Buxton is going to come up lame just so he doesn't have to see this anymore.

[USAFChief]

I think there are a lot of things that are Rocco's fault.

In at least some part, you get the team you manage to.

Ramirez hustling down the line on a routine grounder to 1st. In a 11-0 game. Nuf said

[IndyTwinsFan]

Someone should step out of the dugout right now and wave the white flag.  This has gotten way beyond ridiculous. 

[TWTwinsFan]

Castro is a good bench player only, when you play him every day, u know u r in deep trouble

Assuming it's just "pulling the star" in a blowout.

Waive the white flag 

I don’t think they should put the white flag on waivers. They may need to have it available for waving on another day.
