Twins (Paddack) vs Red Sox (Crochet): 5/4/25, 12:35pm

Like the idea of the steal after the misplay in the field.  But, maybe wait a few more pitches to let the batter see them and to put some more wear and tear on him.

What an outside the box idea…. bringing up your young talent that are producing in the minors. Some organizations just seem to be more interested in trying to reward production at the minor league level rather than letting them sit for years. 

Ehh both Campbell and Keaschall got hurt. Unfortunately Keaschall much more so.

[mrtwinsfan]

Gotta be 100%  on stealing there ,  why would we want Vasquez leading off in front of Buxton ,   weird call ?

[Joffell]

Also, I must give them credit.  They seem much more dialed in at the plate today than the last 4 games

whether that leads to results though….

[LakesPibble]

Buck has never lacked for talent.  Lord willing he can stay healthy.

[Patzky]

Well that found grass. :(

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Little League stuff there...

[Patzky]

Smells like trouble sheriff.

but not on Defense,  Bride has zero buisness  at 3b

[LakesPibble]

I thought MLB outlawed sac bunts a few years ago.

Let's hope not 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Paddack has to start putting hitters away. Gets to the second strike, no problem and then it becomes too laborious.

[Patzky]

Ugh and like that.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Welp, that'll be it.

[HarmonK03]

Rocco, throw away your spreadsheet.  Quit playing the infield in every time there is a runner on third.  Sometimes you have to give up a run to get an out.  Instead you just cost us two runs.

[SD happy]

I don’t understand why the infield is in with runners on 2nd and 3rd and it’s only the second inning.

TOOTBLAN!

Why playing infield in second inning? Dumb

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Paddack sucks. Can't put anyone away.

Sox announcers noted that too

Ask our EINSTEIN  manager ,  would love to know also

[HarmonK03]

I have seen enough of Paddack, put Festa in his spot and move him to the bullpen.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

For this team to have success with the position players they have, you would need the second coming of Casey Stengel...so it's not all on Rocco. But you combine subpar talent with terrible decisions from the dugout and here we are.

[mrtwinsfan]

C.C.   Nice

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Mitigated the damage but scoring 3 runs today is not at all likely.

[thelanges5]

Could’ve been much worse. The Sheriff is at 53 pitches through 2. 

[Patzky]

Escaped sorta. Here's a novel idea. If it's close let Paddack go what he can go and bring SWR in as the first bullpen arm. Plenty of time to reset the rotation by Tuesday or call up a spot starter, Festa or etc.
