Runners on 2nd and 3rd, zero outs. 

0 runs scored. That actually is expected this year from the offense 

They need to have a special graphic when they always bring up the expected runs given the situation.  The MLB average expected runs scored and the Twins average expected runs scored.

Feels like a win tonight so I'm grilling chicken.

I was at the game last night...After Lewis flew out in bottom of 8th, Buxton had his arm around him and they were talking the entire time between innings.  It was a big spot...I can't imagine anyone i

Fitzgerald has only been exposed to Rocco for a handful of games so he hustled.  In a week or 2 he will catch on to there being no need to hustle in Rocco world.

I would love to hear some unedited commentary from the people in the know about what goes on with the team, in the clubhouse etc. I bet it would be really ugly stuff.

I bet Ty France would talk.

Ober’s HR problems continue 

Better the 107 mph rockets land in the stands and terrorize the fans than to lose a player that finds himself in front of one.

The contact play and using bulk pitchers are the dumbest strategies of this team ... among others. 

The contact play is at least done by other teams. I can respect it even if I think it’s a poor strategy, especially now with improved fielding and shifting.

the bulk pitcher thing has yet to move the needle for me

Wasn’t really a double for Fitzgerald, went to second on throw headed for plate. Hustle play we are not used to seeing.

I’ll keep the conspiracy going… Theres a much bigger story behind the scenes. Dan Hayes or one of the other beat writers needs to sniff this out. We may not know the full scope for another 6-12 months, but there is no question something is rotten here.

Someone mentioned the end of the Zimmer and Spielman era with the Vikings. I doubt we’ll ever hear anything more substantial than some of the stuff we’ve already heard. Paddack speaking out was telling, usually the comments are more muted when a player leaves a team

There isna time and place for the contact play. 1 out, or stay out of a double play.

2nd and 3rd with no outs is NOT the time. 

I wonder strongly if Outman didn't **** up there. I can't imagine even Rocco would have that play on with no outs,, 2nd and 3rd.

Root away , I'm rooting for Milwaukee and Seattle  ... I think you know why ...

Is this a summer camp thing?

Like "Goonie likes the moon, but he doesn't like the sun?" style of thing?

I don't believe Byron has ever stole 3rd base.

He mostly doesn’t need to with his speed, I never thought that was a big deal. Odd but way down the list of problems

Clemens has really sucked at the plate the last week or so. 

You mean the whole month of August?  The more he plays the more he is exposed. I want to keep him for next year but he should start a couple of days a week and come off the bench.  He has good skills that translate well when coming off the bench.

You wonder how anyone could **** that up though. Unless he misread a sign?
