Rockies (Gomber) @ Twins (López); 6/12 @ 12:10pm CT

[BiggestRoccoFan]

Rocco needs to be fired and quickly.

Plain and simple.

[OvertheHill]

Rockies are like, well, “Thanks Rocco”. Two games in a row where we’re just too smart to make the obvious (to me) moves.

I'm old enough to remember when Santana and Margot were cooked too. IL stint coming I would assume.

None of which excuses Rocco.

And using Santana and/or Margot as examples of success?

Seriously??

[Aggies7]

Oh man we’re really gonna blow this aren’t we lol

[Patzky]

Duran can't come until this situation. He'll leave with it 10-10 if we're fortunate

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

This would just be a horrific loss and one where the manager would struggle to regain the confidence of his team. 

[CoastiePilot08]

Thielbar needs to be outta here after the game 

[Fornasiere-ite]

What was originally a pleasant afternoon, where I wasn't stressing about the game at all, now becomes "If we lose this game, our season is over". I have never felt the Minnesota sports fan pessimism as bad as I do right. this. second. 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Thielbar was a neat story considering the path that his career took. But, he's absolutely washed and it didn't take a baseball genius to know that after his comments last night, even he thinks he's washed. Putting him out there less than 24 hours later is probably the dumbest thing Rocco's done and that is saying a lot.

Jay Jackson better not come in in the 9th

And this move? Rocco makes all the decisions after all was a good one? There was trepidation on the fans side BEFORE the wheels fell off. But Roccos sheet told him Thielbar???

[Patzky]

Praise Jesus. Vega or Christ.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Who the hell pitches the 9th...Jackson!?

Someone gave Rocco last night's sheet. Bud Black is a smart guy.

[MMMordabito]

I have to admit.  I was kind of hoping Blackmon would homer there to make it worse for Rocco.

Just let Duran go one more inning... We need another high leverage reliever, yesterday.

Can Simeon jump in?

[jaimedude]

Rockies were not even flinching at Thielbars breaking balls. He is absolutely cooked. Time for Twins to move on and say thank you for your contributions. 

[bighat]

I have a feeling Cole Sands is going to come in and blow this thing in the 9th. 

[CoastiePilot08]

Thielbar sucks almost as much a the city connect jerseys 

[BayStateTwinsFan]

Insurance runs??

[Patzky]

SURE PINCH HIT FOR MARGOT.

Stewart's injury really looms large.

[USAFChief]

They bring Varland up to give the staff a break and thank to Genius Baldelli they've now burned through 8 IP and about 3000 pitches from the pen. Including a game they score 10 runs through 7, and needed Duran.

[Schmoeman5]

Thank you. arrow pointing upwards. 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Pinch-hitting for Margot. SMH.

There are no "low-leverage" relievers.

I don't know how many times this needs to be said.

 

[jaimedude]

Rocco has gone off the deep end with his in game decisions. The guy needs to stop meddling when things are good.
