DFA

Blowing any game is horrible. But they’ve been happening so lightning fast lately

[Beast]

Why is Okert even in the game right now?

[mrtwinsfan]

Worse than the Texas game to  be a part of.    im Done  ,     for the night

[TwinsCD]

So of course he leaves him in.  This guy just doesn't get it.  You have someone up IMMEDIATELY to start the 8th.  Duran for the 9th and whoever just in case Okert messes up, which is likely.  Someone gonna defend this one?

[AceWrigley]

Must be reliever implosion week.

[exeoud]

And that's the division. Twins gotta play .600+ ball the rest of the year to catch the Guardians even if they play .500.

[TwinsCD]

Let's go Machado, take him deep.

I'm still hanging in here..... I like the abuse

[Aggies7]

You wonder why he’s still in the game at this point.

[jaimedude]

Okert is a bum

[Aggies7]

Okert on to throw BP

You called that one right. 

[Parfigliano]

Plouffe is rather harshly questioning Rocco's BP moves.  Good.  Someone should.

[ziggy]

???Leaves Okerk in to face Machado and now removes him?

He really makes some head scratching moves, or non moves.

 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

We aren't out of it yet.

Still a chance for a hero to step up and meet the challange.

Are you sure that's legal?

[Jocko87]

Now I'm wondering why they warmed Sands and are bringing Ronnie in?

If he's not in the booth tomorrow, you'll know.

Maybe Sands woulda come in if the it were still tied or we had a lead?

[Twinsfreak23]

They will be swept in this series.

[Western SD Fan]

Rocco has obviously not trusted Okert since he has hardly pitched in the last week. Was the bullpen that depleted that he had to run him out there?!

[jaimedude]

This isn't just Rocco, it's a direct reflection of ownership tying hands of front office at the trade deadline. They knew they had a few holes and the Pohlad ownership group wouldn't authorize payroll increase without unloading salary. Those constraints limited any trade opportunities. Twins ownership limits chance of success by small thinking. 

[Shaitan]

I'll still take Okert for 162 over Gordon.

#notsayingmuch

[Aggies7]

Someone called Cleveland the frauds earlier lol

[AceWrigley]

Christian Vazquez for July and August hitting .347 with 5 homeruns and 16 rbis, nice job.

[TwinsCD]

WORST IN-GAME MANAGER IN THE BIG LEAGUES
