Run would have still scored as Sanatan would have been lying on the ground even if he kept the ball in his glove.

No.

If you don't let runners steal at will, that error doesn't matter.

SB success rate is like 80% lol

Guy on 2nd three best bats coming up.  1 run should be easy

You said what now 

[Azviking101]

Wow Royce. Awful error and then swing at garbage. Nice job buddy 

[Patzky]

Kepler again.. ish

[IndyTwinsFan]

Well, the bullpen tonight was living on the edge for 3+ innings, no thanks to some questionable defense, and finally fell over the edge in the 10th.

Hopeful, but not optimistic, of a positive outcome here.

[CoastiePilot08]

For ****’s sake 

[RpR]

Max was trying to hard.

[Patzky]

Record time 

[Parfigliano]

4 pitches 2 outs

[MMMordabito]

****** night for Kep

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Keep us going, Correa

[CoastiePilot08]

Well that was garbage 

[ashbury]

"Kepler strikes out on three pitches."  Is there an echo or feedback loop in the broadcast audio?

[Azviking101]

Win streak had to end 

bad game 

[Aggies7]

That’s a well-deserved loss

[Patzky]

Can't win em all but we had no business winning this one.

Alas, 'twas not to be.

[USAFChief]

One of the worst losses of the year, capped off by an absolute pathetic bottom of the 10th.

[TwinsCD]

Putrid at-bats in the 10th.

[Parfigliano]

5 pitches to 3 best hitters and a loss.

[Aggies7]

Overdue. There were probably 3 or so games this homestand that should have been losses

Yes

[IndyTwinsFan]

Well, they got what they deserved in this one.  No offense, shoddy defense, and highly questionable pitching from the bullpen. 

Oh, well.

All three threw yesterday. And all three threw Sunday. 

You can't have a 3 man bullpen.

The answer isnt to use only 3 guys. The answer is to have more guys. All relievers are high leverage. 

You are correct.  But if you look at tonight, 2 of the 3 threw and I'd imagine we would have seen the 3rd guy if this would have gotten to the 11th.  I'm not saying throw them every single time that you get into these bridge situations.  I'm just saying that it seems like this combo, at least until Stewart returns, is your best chance to get from the 7th to the end in a tight game.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Oh well.

 

Thanks all for the company!

Disagree wholeheartedly. 5 walks over the last 4 innings and 2 crucial errors. With some mopish at bats thrown in for good measure. That lucky ricochet bounce probably saved a run
