I think I’d prefer another inning of Joe vs an inning of sands with a one run lead 

Bump

[USAFChief]

Bottom 3rd and Sands manages 1st and 3rd, 1 out

Come again? I didn't quite catch that....

[USAFChief]

This will be 2nd and 3rd shortly  

[Aggies7]

94 pitches, 66 for strikes with 1 walk. And still gets the hook

*and now won’t get the win 

[Patzky]

Wheels are coming off

[MMMordabito]

Ryan deserves better ... again

[USAFChief]

Can't put anyone away. 

[TwinsCD]

2 bleeding heart base hits sinks the lead.  I understand staying low to try to get a ground ball but with a 2-2 count, I thought he could waste a belly-high heater and see if he could get Diaz to chase considering his eye line was low low low after the sequence of pitches.

[Aggies7]

Sands has largely been terrible pitching with leads in close games since later April (I believe). Yet we still try to make it a thing.

[Patzky]

Hum Okert doesn't clean up others' messes so well. Mayhap should have just started him right off the bat.

Close, but not there yet. 

1st & 2nd... a tie game.

BS, i do believe.

Haiku, anyon?

with 7-8-9 up for the rays, Ryan deserved a chance  at 94 pitches,   Sands and close games -- i dont get it

That's just it. There are no low leverage relievers. Everyone is going to pitch with the game on the line, sooner or later.

They used the more reliable guys yesterday.

I mean, he doesn't look much like the Killer, but otherwise . . . ok.

That’s when you leave the starter who’s doing a really good job in as long as you can

You were right. For some definition of shortly.

As the opposition just did. Their bullpen was exhausted last.might too

I would have let Ryan start the 7th as well.

But it's a reasonable move to go to the pen, too

Especialy short time, too.

[TwinsCD]

Jackson is a liability.  Sands is largely a liability.  Staumont needs more run.

[Aggies7]

Dude’s not close to the strike zone 

[CoastiePilot08]

Back end of this bullpen is ass

[Patzky]

Speed stick inducing inning.

[Aggies7]

Wow so close

That’s usually where you’ll find it

Nice play Royce.

[Joe Schmitt]

I need a shower after that sequence.

[AceWrigley]

Okert rescues Sands . . . again.
