Cash let Alexander get absolutely abused there for some unknown reason 

[TwinsCD]

OMG, WALLNER GOT ANOTHER HIT OFF A LEFTY AND THIS ONE SCORED A RUN!!!!!

Imagine how much of a silly goose you’d feel like going to a Tampa Bay Rays game and getting hit by a ball 

In his defense, it's not like there was some intense baseball game to watch.

Pham homered. We have Margot on the DL.

Cash is a nose ahead of Rocco but only because he made it to a World Series.  He's another that has very little feel for the game.

Not a chance.  Just witness last night when Vazquez PH for Larnach and made the final out.  It's just another example of being a slave to the numbers and having zero feel for the game.

Yes Sir  100 %  agree,   almost Vomited when he did it last night

I’m unsure if you think wallner and Larnach should hit against lefties. Can you expound a bit further?

[mrtwinsfan]

recent p/u  Tommy Phan    3  run homer for K.C.   

[TwinsCD]

Leave it to rally killer Jeffers to come up zeroes in a big spot.

[notoriousgod71]

For a manager that loves pulling effective starters early Rocco has a troubling habit of letting struggling pitchers roast. Imagine if we'd have pulled varland at a reasonable juncture.

[Western SD Fan]

Nah. I’d rather have Farmer batting 5th in a lineup that if Jamie Moyer was watching would think: I could still get some outs here…./s

Wouldn’t want Pham, but at least Kansas City is showing the fans they care by making moves.

[Aggies7]

White sox up 6-1 bottom 8 😳

I would argue that most managers are meaningless since they're all working off the same spreadsheet. I would take gardenhire over most managers today.

[Aggies7]

You never want him to become Everyday Michael Tonkin. Not a great sign.

But credit where it’s due

Another example of having zero feel.  This is where I think he's at his worst.

To be fair I think the Twins were ahead of KC at the time of the claim and wouldn't have gotten Pham even if they wanted him.

[TwinsCD]

Let me get this straight -- Farmer leads off the last inning with a dinger.  So the next inning, Julien pinch hits because it's a lefty facing a righty.  Holy hell, put the damn splits and numbers away and PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT YOUR PLAYERS ARE DOING IN THE GAME

And now he's getting stretched one inning too far.

Asinine on its best day, cannot use a more accurate word as this is a family site.

To be fair, Twins have several rally killers…….sigh

[sampleSizeOfOne]

What i miss?

[RpR]

Checked on Rortvedt.

His Batting Average is up but his home run production is way down, and his fielding skill is not as good as it was earlier.

 

[Tlaker]

Dick Lovelady, …….really? Junior high must have been hell

[RpR]

From what the announcers are saying, Buxton coming back may improve fielding but he will fit right in with this offence.

Sounds like a porn star name.

AH, Santana'a high water pants.

[gregens]

That wasn't a very fun game for Twins fans.

[notoriousgod71]

MJ Melendez would fit in well with our outfield. He's butchered at least three balls in left field since I started watching. He's the Rickie weeks of the outfield tonight.
