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.

They are wrong. You are right. Just a justification for parsimonious owner behavior.

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

Exactly.  All the earlier blunders are still there, but the Twins had fought back to get in the game and would likely have a lead had Shelton not left Funderburk in too long.

Wow what an exceptional plate appearance by caratini. Thought for sure that was heading to K town

Hanging in there

Outman is in the game! I’m told he’s fast. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

C'mon Arcia!

[Patzky]

Damn well hit.

Warning track power.

Use the force Luke!

[h2oface]

I guess the sun doesn’t bother Mangum. Even more difficult angle there than Larnach’s

The bat also works.

Keaschall trying to become a permanent lawn ornament at PNC park with that swing.

Poop

[Aggies7]

Well hopefully there will be some semblance of starting pitching soon so we can stop this losing 

[Patzky]

Well darn. Another tough loss.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Oh well.

Another 1 run loss.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

The frustration continues :(

[ashbury]

Just good enough to lose.

[thelanges5]

This week has undone all of the good that came from winning some series last week.

Brief as it was, it was still inconsequential.

[krink]

At least they kept battling - considering we could have lost by 6+, a one loss lead hurts slightly less

The Shelton story in Pittsburgh, too. 

[mrtwinsfan]

Alot of errors today ,  all starting with having a plow horse in L.F.   Boys fought back ,  Shelton did a Rocco with  Funderbrook ,    who ?  why is he here ? Dumb move - 

[Sjoski]

Only the Twins...can begin a 10 game road trip 3-0. Only to turn it into a 4-6 skid....after Pirates sweep tomorrow.

Larnach should never be in L.F. 

[hitterscount]

Well….. that was something. Getting closer to dropping MLB, unless some young blood is injected to the lineup pretty soon.

And then some.

A lot of bad baseball the last 6 games. Defense bit the Twins in the butt today, and Ober serving up Gopher balls. Buxton ball hitting the wall was bad luck. Keaschall had a terrible read on that hit too. If Keaschall scores on that, Buxton is easily on second base.
