Would be nice for Jeffers to get back on track here...

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Or not...

Gallo is still a very good fielder; it amazes me how some players just get worse with the bat as experience is supposed to work the other way.

That stint with the Yankees ruined him. He was strikeout prone prior to that but he had a borderline nervous breakdown. It can happen. See Steve Sax, Chuck Knoblauch (!!!), Carl Pavano to name a few. Some guys just can't handle New York.

[RpR]

That play may help Larnach stick around.

SWR is battling. The Twins are playing with fire though. Bats have to wake up.

No , probably a double depending on how it bounced.

Frustrating to say the least.

Yeah if he took that outside edge pitch to RF it might of had a chance

[Aggies7]

SWR yanked at 77 pitches. 3 hits through 4 2/3. Overmanaging 

[MABB1959]

Why did they pull SWR?

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Nothing learned from Friday night.

[Mike Sixel]

I wouldn't remove SWR here, but whatever....it would be after this inning anyway.....

[cheeseheadgophfan]

You've got to be kidding me.....if I'm SWR, i'm flipping Rocco the bird as he walks out to take me out while i'm throwing a shutout and i've got 2 outs in the 4th.  Bringing in our dominant bullpen.

It has to be getting old with the players. Whether it's the platoon nonsense or pulling pitchers too soon. Give them a chance.

Okert has just been so bad. In a one-run game, let your starter close out the inning.

[Road trip]

How can anyone believe Okert is a superior option vs continuing with SWR?  Madness, even if it works.

[Jocko87]

Did Okert tip the bullpen cart driver?  Sweet!

[Schmoeman5]

Okert tips the cab driver. That's pretty cool

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

And he got the out!

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Now go get a couple of insurance runs...

So players carry cash with them.  I never knew. 😄 

[Azviking101]

4.1 innings of bullpen from a bullpen that after Jax and Duran has been really bad lately. 
let’s see if it works

See through pants, ha!

Rocco, its not the world series, Let your young Talent develop, YES i know his pitch count and control can be a issue ,   Again zero in game Feel, TOP OF ORDER HE MUST NOT BE ALLOWED , ,  Nothing ever seems to be a in game move, F--k analytics   

[BiggestRoccoFan]

There was no reason that SWR should have been removed from the game with 77 pitches, 0 outs and 0 runners on base. This is getting hard to watch over and over as a huge Twins fan. SWR looked pretty pissed off as well as he should have.

FO can you please remove Rocco from the organization and let him go fishing with his clone Gabe Capler.

[Patzky]

Heyyyyy Carlos is pissed too!

He has ZERO feel for what's happening. He has his preconceived notions and that's where his thought process begins and ends.
