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.

This is actually one of the few games this season, where I would say the managers deciisions effected the outcome of the gane. Well that and the shoddy defense.

AZ brining in their closer with a 4 run lead?

He was probably already warming up before the Carroll triple. They have also used just about everyone else already today anyway.

He was already hot and ready to come in the game.  Idk what his work has been the last few days.  It's possible he needed the work anyway.

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

Shelton has no clue on managing pitchers. He thinks he has 12 Skenes.

Probably the only good thing about this game. They used 7 pitchers after Soroka left.

Yep.  Preilipp was charged with 3 runs, but it really should just be 2.  Three runs on the defense. Four runs on Shelton.

Twins defense really let the team down tonight. Prielipp should not have pitched the 6th inning., Adam's should not have pitched 8th.

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. 

I'm telling you. He thinks he's playing a board game.

That was a tough watch. So many errors that didn’t need to happen. Hopefully it’s just a setback and they get back on the horse tomorrow. I will be buying some itching powder on Amazon after this, though.

Make sure and get some Icy Hot too.  Can't have too much burn in their jock shorts when they come home!

I'm only waiting for this postgame interview with Shelton to see if anyone has the intestinal fortitude to ask him why he left Preilipp out in the 6th and Adams out to die.

Beat writers traveling with the team in 2026? Blasphemy

There has to be a beat writer somewhere to keep asking Buxton how he feels about being in all the trade rumors.  That response Buxton gave was gold.

Tristan Gray sucks,! He's mediocre short stop. 

Mediocre would be a massive upgrade. He's awful.

Tristian Gray had a decent run this year, but when Kaalen Culpepper gets healthy I think it is time for the Twins move on from him. 

No reason to wait. Swap him for Arcia ASAP. 

[RpR]

Why do they play Gray as Short Stop?

Kreidler is a FAR better Short Stop than Gray.
