Really with a 2nd inning out of Winder?  This is only a 2-run game, Rocco.

I see Castillo and Bowman are back.

Who is supposed to pitch here?

[AussieG]

This could get ugly for Winder and Co

[Vanimal46]

The all yellow catcher's gear is something I'll never get used to with these uniforms. Hate it. 

[USAFChief]

I think I move quicker than Winder.

Anybody but Winder.  Rocco won't let an effective reliever who only throws 8 pitches to go out for a 2nd inning but he'll let Winder flail away out there.  Gonna turn a 2-run game into a 5-run game here shortly.

What is worse - the RISP or Pablo’s performance? We’ve got 5 runs.

But do you wind when you do it.

Someone other than Winder.

Edit: and they're on their way to using someone else anyway.

Another fantastic managing  job by Rocc.

Well on the way.

It bounced 2ft before the plate and 2 ft outside

I really have to wonder what he thought he was going to accomplish with that swing.  Almost looked like he really wasn't trying all that hard to do something positive at the plate. 

Apart from the one hit, it almost looked like his mind was not in the game.  If so, that's completely unacceptable. 

[Vanimal46]

Whelp. 

[Patzky]

Can't really bring anyone else in. Game's blown. Let wonder writhe.

HBP, dribble single and whatever Margot was doing there on D agree.

[TwinsCD]

Part of why this team loses to good teams like the Yankees & Astros, etc is because the guy in the dugout just does not know how to handle pitching situations like what we're dealing with here.

Answer the question 

Why not Staumont?  Give him a clean start to an inning and he's proven that he's pretty good.

[Aggies7]

Struck out the first two guys he faced on 9 pitchers, but it’s been a catastrophe since 

[USAFChief]

This was about as gift-wrapped a game as is possible in MLB.

And they found a way to trail 8-5 in the 8th. 

[TwinsCD]

Rocks beat the Royals so no change in standings tonight.

They lose on the margins. A lot. That's on the manager.

[thelanges5]

Rockies 4, Royals 2

[Patzky]

Just send him down tomorrow. Seen enough.

[Aggies7]

14 hits 😳

[TwinsCD]

GET HIM OUT OF THE GAME!!!

[Vanimal46]

Winder just isn't an MLB caliber pitcher. Who's next in St. Paul? Maybe Matt Bowman gets another opportunity.
