Braves needed to get right. Rocco and the Twins are the answer.

How is anyone on here defending Baldy?

 

AND MAYBE 2 INNINGS EACH FROM Varland and Colume ,   this 1 inning only will never win any long term 

[exeoud]

Seems like the Chair Force didn't make Jax any mentally tougher.

[SD happy]

This could have been such a feel good game to win. Great debut for Keaschall, solid start for Paddock and three straight wins. This sucks.

Yep 2 games. 6 batters faced - 5 K.

Gotcha, didn't hear about that until now. We're definitely going to need him.

He put in Jax.....in the 8th......how tf is this on Baldelli?

Jax is single-handedly Paganing April.

Back to reality. Previous two games were fun. This game reminds us that this is deeply flawed roster. 

They were up 4-1 in the 8th, the only flaw tonight was Jax.

[IndyTwinsFan]

I'd like to hear how Rocco defends Jax here.  Oops, wait a minute, maybe I don't.

Fixed that for you (FTFY as the kids say)

[TheLeviathan]

We are a .500 team if Jax is even 3/4 of last year.

[Aggies7]

I make Coulombe set up man going forward 

[Irishman]

Jax have no business in playing baseball.    Boot him back to St. Paul..    I’m very angry,

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Feel for the game and your players. Jax has been struggling...badly. He shouldn't have been out there tonight. That decision is on the manager.

This is pretty much my opinion. Felt like maybe we had turned a corner with the offense looking better. This might be the worst loss yet, considering the circumstances 

Yeah, the Astros game was just a cold dose of reality and should have shocked some urgency into this team. Clearly they've learned nothing since that game. I can't imagine many fans feel remotely hopeful about this season after tonight.

Everyone and their family knows that Jax is cooked this season. Except for Rocco. 

[exeoud]

Use games like this to weed out the good ones and the bad ones who can't handle the pressure. Keaschall - keeper, Jax - don't really care if you never pitch a game for the Twins again

[IndyTwinsFan]

Plus the "offense" shriveled up and played dead in the last half of the game.  That clearly didn't help the situation either.

[Aggies7]

At least the young guy looks like a baller.

No, Jax needs to execute his role.

His BABIP is absurd right now but he’s not cooked the whole season. This is a lesson in relievers being the kings of SSS

One game for Keaschall proves nothing, let's see how he does in the next ones.

[tony&rodney]

Game tomorrow. Woods Richardson will need to outpitch Sale and the Twins RH bats will need to show up.

Because Bryce Elder sucks, when they put in actual big league guys it's more of the same we've seen all year. Tomorrow is an auto loss with Chris Sale on the mound, especially with SWR opposing him

4-1 in the 8th should be about as safe as it gets...

But he isn't, so we're forced to live with it.

Another brutal loss by a brutally bad team.

True but where I am coming from is that our top 4 batters in the lineup were 1 for 14 and the team had a total of one base runner after the 4th inning. I felt like the Braves were just sitting there waiting to be knocked out and we just don’t have the lineup to do it most nights. At least up to this point of the season.

Naw bro. Happens with relievers every year. Sometimes they just fall off a cliff. Here we are.

Glad I couldn't watch.
