This team plays like their manager manages. With no pulse.

I wanted Festa in the 7th and was shocked to see him.  The pitches to Ozuna were competitive, he didn't chase, he's a professional hitter.  OK, not the worst to walk their big power guy.  Roll the dic

You can see the lack of execution before it happens. Twins have 4th highest ERA in bullpen right now. Nothing is going right. I hate this negative situation.

Just can’t walk the leadoff man when you’re given that chance to go back out

Why not? One pitch can be a double play! Not great, but.....

Thielbar to wreck the game. Baldelli's Nick Punto. Or is that Farmer. Theilbar to potentially give the loss to Festa. He earned at least the next batter with the game pitched and only 88 pitches.

It’s not fun to watch anymore.

Yet here we are expecting bad things to happen and quite surprised when the Twins do something positive.

Because the manager went out of his comfort zone and left the young guy in for the 7th inning. And it bit him

Was ir a mistake to leave Festa in for the 7th , NO ...

Was it a mistake to bring in theilbar ????.....

If Festa gave up a homer to Olson Rocco is an idiot. If Thielbar blows it Rocco is an idiot.

This group makes everyone look like an idiot.

Bullpen is such a glaring problem. It was predicted coming out of spring training.

I can link to a February article touting "best bullpen in baseball" 

Fangraphs hoohah, but it was here on TD too.

Festa blowing it was uncertain.

Thielbar blowing it was certain. 😇

The Twins have chosen their position players throughout their system primarily for production from the plate. Only Santana (Buck & C4 are out) is average or above. The problem is that the bats are not scoring and the gloves are giving up runs. This is an organizational philosophy.

I like Festa getting a chance to start the inning. Rocco took him out after the walk...good.

Bringing in the thielbar?

I have to say I'm impressed with provus acknowledging margot's wretched defense. Dick would have made excuses.

How are you a MLB umpire and miss that call??  That's almost as obvious as it gets.

You should be thankful that major league baseball has instant replay or review ...

Well like I said...shocked he sent Festa out for the 7th.

He was hit hard in the 6th. He hadn't thrown a single pitch in even the 6th inning yet this season. Hadn't thrown more than 82 pitches in a game. 

Just a curious decision that immediately backfired.

Not to excuse Thielbar, but I think you gotta take what you got from Festa and have a reliever start the 7th
