Twins (Paddack) vs Dodgers (Glasnow): 7/23/25, 3:10pm

[Patzky]

Fuss about the bullpen.. but that hitting..

[karcherd]

Did the Dodgers really send Freeman to steal second.  I thought only blazing speedsters could steal a base.  Who would of thought that you don't have play station to station baseball, I didn't think it was allowed.

Need 3 starters. Not going to happen.

Why will we need 3 starters next year unless someone is traded.

Rocco can't help himself, he has limited options in the bullpen and he still pulls the starter who has been effective for once and a good pitch count.

He is by far the WORSE in game Manager i can recall , everything is scripted with him , --ZERO  feel for the present till it rolls past him ,

Striking out against a great picther, so far. But that pitcher is done. I'd take Glasnow any day of the week, and in the playoffs, too.

And you knew Kim and Rushing were not going to bat against a LH pitcher.

[Patzky]

Varland isn't cut out to be a mid inning replacement 

[Peter]

We are screwed!!! 

[Aggies7]

Varland has to be gassed

You counting on Ober, SWR, Matthews,Festa to win? Paddocks ERA .4 better than n Obers.

I’d guess he saw something and went on his own. Veteran smart players get the trust from their manager to take a shot when they see something.

Vazquez is one of the worst hitters in baseball. He's not brought value at all.  291 hitters have at least 170 at bats. Three are worse than Vazquez. His defense this year is below average for a catcher. 

Mike your always blasting Vazquez  , yes he doesn't hit much in his 3 years here , maybe you'll get your wish and he is gone at deadline  ...

I'm not sure what games you are watching but Vazquez does bring value to the games as a smart solid catcher  , if your picking on hitters pick on them all , can't get anyone one base before a homerun , can't get any clutch hits when we get someone on base ... 

The entire lineup is a train wreck  , some on defense and offense  , some just on offense ...

My response was to resigning him for next year.  If everyone gets healthy this year, Paddack needs to be moved to the bullpen.

[Parfigliano]

Varland W or WP to score run

[h2oface]

Dodgers laughing at Baldelli. 

[S Bart]

This rotating pitching...the fans are all geared up...Rocco....way to go...again....

[Hubie29]

We have the best bullpen in baseball. Nothing to worry about! Great move by the Rock!

[Peter]

🤬😤😡👎

[Patzky]

The same thing Paddack did.. 

[Aggies7]

Not much of an analytics guy but how is a pitcher pitching his third game in a row a better option than Paddack there ??

Jeffers did not even see it until he was at 2nd

[h2oface]

Baldelli should be fired immediately if not sooner. What a pea cerebral cortex.

Zero serious moves should be sacrificed in the name of “the rest of this year”.

[thelanges5]

Varland has been great but overused. Why not let Coulombe finish his inning?
