Red Sox (Bello) vs Twins (Matthews): 7/30/25, 12:10pm

[Doc Lenz]

Highest payroll in division so has nothing to do with money. Leadership F.O. Manager and staff are the issue. 
Hate to see Castro leave since his batting average has dropped 40 points in last 6 weeks. 
Paddack haters enjoy him being gone since we have Ober and Matthews pls 5 ERAs to pitch batting practice to enemy line ups. 13 game streak was a mirage. 

[Patzky]

We got the bad Jax today

Willi out for the ninth. 

Tea leaves..

Your Haiku skills need some work.

Lemme try

 

 

Jax? Very bizarre 

Willi exits in the ninth

Tea leaves anyone?

[The Great Hambino]

I was kinda hoping Willi would forget the number of outs one more time, for old time's sake.

For real tho, they definitely got their ROI on him.  I hope he gets a nice postseason moment

I misunderstood the assignment 🤪

Jax not inspiring confidence as a mop up guy.

Ugh, I was annoyed by the Paddack salary dump, but Castro has been the most reliable Twin the last three years. I suddenly find myself a bit bummed about his time coming to an end. 

Thanks Willi, you'll be remembered well. 

Most reliable TC player last 3 yrs is/was a utility guy kinda says it all

[thelanges5]

Ugly day at Target Field. Uff da

Yup such an underrated pick-up in 2023. He was clutch for the Twins and will be sorely missed.

What a f-----g  joke to do this to your pitcher ROCCO,   UNREAL !!! 

[tony&rodney]

The Twins need to reset after the off day tomorrow. I'm not sure the White Sox or Rockies ever looked this down and out.

[Patzky]

Who's this Clemens guy in to pitch..

[Western SD Fan]

I think I would be upset as well if I was supposed to be this elite arm and now being replaced by a position player especially since the position player inherits two runners.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

If I was a contending team, I wouldn't give up much for Jax. I don't think he has the mindset to consistently pitch well in big spots when the calendar turns to October. He seems to get rattled easily.

[bunsen82]

Not sure why you would put Jax out there today.  Not that it really matters.  If someone wants someone with his stuff it will still take quite a bit to pry him away.

Sheez, to get removed for a position player here . . . yikes. Unless jax just got traded.,

All I can figure is the other team said the trade is off unless you get Jax outta there now.

By "reset" do you mean....fire Rocco and staff

Maybe Larnach did too.. 

[CRF]

Kind of a slap in the face to Jax, even though he didn't pitch well today. 

[AceWrigley]

Can we trade Rocco?

[AceWrigley]

Home run derby.

[Patzky]

Bride played it better.

Obviously Jax terribly upset. Rocco has lost this team.

Most likely Jax wasn't suppose to pitch today.  But Rocco looked at his usage card and put him in.  Falvey must likely said pull him out.

Or Falvey called down to Rocco and said, 'are you freakin' kidding me?' Get him out of there you stubborn fool.

[CRF]

I don't think Clemens has his best stuff today.

If that actually happened Rocco should be suspended.

[Parfigliano]

Couldn't any position player just lob it up there like Clemens
