WHAT IS TOMMY WATKINS DOING??

Zero outs and WaTkins sends him.   He seems to always make the wrong call.

[jaimedude]

Watkins strikes again. He needs to be relieved of his duties. Nobody out and now forces the issue. 3rd base coach is bad at his job. This crap has been happening all year. 

[USAFChief]

Cmon. Watkins.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

No one on this coaching staff should be back next season. Gut the entire group.

Can we DFA Watkins?

I still think yesterday was Max, but this was egregiously stupid 

[OvertheHill]

It’s a really bad sign of your organization if your 3rd base coach is frequently being talked about. 

[MMMordabito]

Can't Tommy just be the official taste tester for new foods at Target Field or something?

[Tlaker]

Is DFA Watkins possible????

Agreed, This is pitiful but I am sure they will all get extended even more.

[Patzky]

Did Willi learn nothing?

Watch the overhead video. He got a stop sign halfway to third. Then a go sign. Then. Stop.

He did.

[TwinsCD]

Nice reverse graphic jinx.  Right before the pitch, they showed Castro as 1 for his last 40 batting righty.

[2wins87]

Watkins bailed out slightly, but this should have already been a bigger inning

[USAFChief]

I can't believe Willi got something off speed.

[jaimedude]

Relief, way to go Willie.

Do you think he was running “max” effort, so to speak? 😉

Until he got the stop sign.

I agree with Chief. He was not running max effort after he got the stop sign. Then it was go. Why else would he be pissed at Watkins? He was pissed because of his signals changing, when he could have scored.

[Aggies7]

I guess two two out RBI’s was asking too much

[USAFChief]

Took four hits, including 3 to start the inning, to score one run. 

But at least we got one.

Now who pitches?

[Blyleven2011]

We tie it up ,,, but a big if on the base paths ....

Can't keep running into outs  ...

I didn’t say after, I mean the whole time. Was he running to score the instant the ball hit the bat?

Surprised to see Festa back out there?

despite little to no help from front office and ownership.  Rocco also  ?

He’s been rough lately for sure but at the same time when the front office gives nothing we’re admitting he has very little room to do anything anyways. There aren’t tons of “good options” out of the pen, guys are hurt and there are so many weaknesses to work around.

[exeoud]

This is still not a good position to be in. 3 inning game against a much more fundamentally sound team.
