@Parfigliano so, what exactly is a Bucco Luau Weekend?

[Patzky]

Might as well Klein it up again.

The pessimist in me is saying it will only hurt more when they lose in the late innings. 

It’s all your fault. 

[Patzky]

Walks will haunt.

Again and again and again

Not to go all Peter on the board but another one run loss would be a bitter pill...

The funny answer is when the Jolly Roger shows up and steals your pig roast.

[thelanges5]

5 walks to 3 Ks today.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

The Twins might just make sure it's not a one run loss, lol...

[h2oface]

Klein as wild to first as he is to the plate!

reminds me of Cole Sands

[Vanimal46]

Cruz is a massive individual 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Klein is a feel good story until he's actually pitching in a game like this...

[lecroy24fan]

Cruz was out. How that wasn't overturned will remain a mystery.

Twins are 5-8 in 1 run games. 

[Aggies7]

Didn’t know Klein is from MN. His roster spot is safe for a while 

[hitterscount]

What a luxury to have a designated closer. Another poor defensive game that leads to the loss….. and not the best pitching either. The lost ball in the sun, led to five extra runs. Probably a different game if that is caught.

Feel good stories are like innings eaters.  If that is your best calling card, good luck to your team.

Ask Varland 🥲

[Patzky]

You don't want to use another arm but you want to get to the 10th where you'll have to. 

 

So you might as well.

. Probably a different game if that is caught,  -  Mistake was staying behind the ball   gotta approach it at a angle 

[Patzky]

Royals got walked off again. Sheesh. Thought they'd be better

 

[thelanges5]

Last chance here batters. LFG!

[Patzky]

Martin gets a chance to try on the sombrero. Hope he reverts..

[sampleSizeOfOne]

9th inning.

[Western SD Fan]

I think the Twins need to get a couple of bats sawed off like that.  There are some vampires lurking around that could use an impaling.

Lost count of how many times I read here that having a designated closer is essentially meaningless. Not sure it would matter for this particular team, but it does matter.

[h2oface]

To me, the key blunder was Shelton bringing Funderburk back out instead of going to Klein with a clean inning ahead. Just dumb. 

[Aggies7]

Mister Coach Klein got the job done
