Looks like Ober's night is done. 

Not sure why.

Any ideas?

Go sit down.

Yes, that's what they did!

[RpR]

I think Grossman would agree with those here who think the Umps are cockeyed.

If the pen blows this it will be my last straw with Rocco.

The line is pretty long. 

[mnfireman]

And bad Duran makes an appearance....

[TwinsCD]

And here we go.  The harebrained manager makes a dopey decision and the closer can't execute.  Meanwhile, the Royals were clueless against Ober.

[Danchat]

If Duran can't handle the bottom of the Royals lineup... yikes. 

[BH67]

I so wanted someone to apply poison sumac to the Twins' bullpen phone after the 7th inning. Let's hope a win in still happening.

royals running from here innn

[USAFChief]

I don't understand why Duran gets so reluctant to throw fastballs.

[CRF]

We're gonna get Rocco'd. 

[USAFChief]

How do we just concede that run??

[OvertheHill]

This is so Rocco. 

[TwinsCD]

How does Larnach not come up gunning?

[Parfigliano]

Duran should not be in this game Rocco

Not Larnach. Helman.

But good question.

He’s dominant in the 9th, shaky in non save saturations. It’s been shown enough already.

Because he is on the bench.

[Aggies7]

None of this is defensible,

But I’m sure some posters will try.

[Randy Griffith]

Why is Duran pitching in the eighth?  When was the last time we tried this crap?

Rocco trying to be clever again and, as expected, it's beginning to backfire.

Surprise, surprise!

[mnfireman]

Rocco pulls Ober and inserts Duran:

Blaming Rocco for Duran's inability to do his job is something...
