The radio boys do not match Gameday.  Is Gray out of the game?  The radio boys claimed that Lee is now at SS with all of the defensive shuffling.

I think Jackson pinch hit for Brooks and Lee is out. Clemens 1st, Keasch 2nd, Gray SS, Lewis 3rd

RPR punching the air with the gray jeering going on tonight

Luke Keaschall is a very average defender. Surprised Adam's was not replaced this inning.

Thank you.  Now I can say what I wanted to say when I heard it.  What in the ACTUAL F was Gray allowed to hit in the 8th inning and kill the rally with his terrible plate appearances!!!

Average would be an improvement, sadly

Jackson ran for Caratini. Lee now at SS, Lewis at 3rd, Clemens at 1st.

The Crapple TV boneheads have said 3 times the Twins made several changes but have yet to say any of them. 

[Vanimal46]

Let Adams out to dry when Gomez is available (per the pitch chart) tonight is a choice

Fedko ran for Caratini and Jackson took over for Caratini behind the plate.

Gameday is wrong as well.  They still have Gray in the game at SS.

[krink]

I apologize, I see Lee is still in… bizarre decision!!!!

Batted .400 with RISP in Texas. 1-8 tonight.

That’s baseball, suzyn.

Which reminds me, the Yankees are looming on the schedule soon and they look like they’re going to bring some pain to us.

[Western SD Fan]

Please put Laweryson in.  I just want to see the grand slam so I don't have to stress about the Twins trying to make a rally.

[Permanent Twins Fan]

Shelton leaving Adams in to die. I know he used to be a starting pitcher, but 40 pitches is a lot of pitches.

No , lewis game before this has me happy.

[Vanimal46]

What are we doing Shelty?

[Aggies7]

Patchwork Adams 

[thelanges5]

There’s the 30th bullpen ERA we know and love.

Will this do?

[Twindy]

Well, I’m already tired of Corbin Carroll and there’s two games to go

Bad choice to leave Adam's in, this manager makes some puzzling decisions at times. Adam's was already near 40 pitches. Should have pulled him with 1st and 2nd on. 

[Vanimal46]

Wow… If Derek Shelton gave up on the game I will too. 

[Baumer67]

Why do you leave Adams in for that long.  I would guess he will be sent to the minors tomorrow 

[thelanges5]

Three runs for Prielipp, three runs for the infield defense, three runs for Adams equals nine

Close enough.  I've been supportive of most of Shelton's moves this season.  Tonight is not one of them.  He single-handedly cost the Twins this game.  Yes, the defense was bad, but we could have overcome that.  We couldn't overcome Shelton's bad decisions to leave pitchers out there to die.

Agreed. I mean, there had to be a middle ground between Rocco’s quickness and Shelty’s long waits…

AZ brining in their closer with a 4 run lead?
