So now we know. He dialed a wrong number and for the wrong Cole.

Why the rush to get Zebby out of there?  Oh no, he's facing the order a 3rd time!!!  Managing scared just like he did with not letting the lefty hitters face lefty pitchers.  Analytics are worthless when you have zero feel for the game.

But then, we've been saying this for 6 seasons now.

I won't even question removing Matthews. I mean, it's questionable, but I understand it.

But Irvin?  There is absolutely ZERO defense for that. It's ******** idiotic. It's jaw-droppingly stupid. HE HAS THE ENTIRE GD BULLPEN. "Hey, let's put in the waiver wire guy. Who, if he doesn't get this LHer, has to pitch to 3 hitters." 

Somebody please take a shot at defending that.

EDIT: And then let him start the next inning and get ANOTHER rally going. 

Go away, Baldelli.

Braindead.

O's totally beat themselves in both losses this weekend. Terrible coaching; terrible baserunning; terrible clutch hitting and a touch of bad luck.

yes they did   and K.C, even worse ,  swept at  home to both detroit and S.F.

[insagt1]

For the love of Mike...Rocco get Irvin out of there. You are running out of innings and bad decisions. Blowing this double header will be so hard to swallow. But then, in honesty, Twins have played miserable ball for weeks now so I guess we shouldn't be surprised.

Rocco is acting like that dude in office space that tries to get himself fired

You need to move your seat to next to the Twins dugout and spend the rest of the game going all Robin Ficker (look him up) on Rocco the rest of the game.

This season is starting to get to the point where it’s almost comical. You can’t make this stuff up.

Analytics.  No baseball just spreadsheets.  Bet he's bad at picking stocks too.

How did Pablo get drilled? That’s not supposed to happen

Serious question:  Have they quit?

Because if they have, Rocco needs to go.....that's his #1 job.

They  brought back Babe Ruth,   the guy hit 3 homers  2  off Pablo

[Patzky]

This Cole can't throw strikes either 

[Gagnerules]

The end of the Rocco Baldelli era is hopefully coming to an end.

YOU ARE NOT WORTHY OF WEARING SHANE MACK'S NUMBER.  STRIP IT OFF AND START WALKING TO CAPE COD WHERE YOU BELONG.

Tough crowd

[TwinsCD]

And now 3/3 inherited runners.  

Awesome job, everyone (except you, Zebby, you were fine).

Talk about "Rocco'd."

Your season is on the line, with a pretty much full bullpen, and you turn to ... the recent waiver wire acquisition.

I'm sure somebody is going to tell me, yet again, that managers don't have much effect on outcomes in MLB.

Wont be me

[Peter]

All the national big city media got their wish with twins💩🤮😤😡🤬😥🤬😡🤮😤

[Patzky]

Maybe we will take one from the Fish. They said the Twins were an 85 win team in March. Only overestimated by a little.

[thelanges5]

I’m done for the night. Thanks for the banter everyone.

[mnfireman]

There it is!!!!
