    Twins hitters have to do a better job of looking for and hitting their pitch in hitters counts. Of course getting to hitters counts requires some patience, something they lost after the 3rd inning and as a result fell behind too often. Their first pitch approach was pretty awful, especially in the later innings, swinging mostly at pitchers pitches. The Yankees outplayed them working counts and getting their pitches to hit, which against the Twins pitchers is a recipe for success. I lost count how many times Twins pitchers were up 0-2 or 1-2 and wouldn't even come close to the strike zone the next 3 pitches. Repeatedly throwing useless breaking pitches up in the count isn't always the best strategy and clearly not against the Yankees. I thought Duffy did the best job, he's not afraid to move his fastball around and keep it on the edges of the zone in and out, up and down. It keeps pressure on the hitters. Berrios started to come around but got screwed by the ump more than a few times, as did Duffy at least once. Questionable player usage, too many walks and the poor Arraez throw/Cron scoop cost them the game. Those things are correctable but Rocco needs to put them in a better position and the players asked to perform, need to perform. Expect Rosario to perform better against the righty, he was dreadful last night against Paxton. I think Kepler will come up big tonight as well.

    Not usually one to second guess and point the finger at Rocco, but I largely will this time. The players play and need to step up and do what is expected of them, but the wrong players were in the wrong situations last night. Rocco needs to be smarter.

    Well I have a PVR hockey game to watch. See y'all tomorrow, hoping for a better result.
  6. twinsnorth49
    Well, it was a big rip, unfortunately all it caught was air.

    More first pitch swinging, in the 8th and Happ going deep into counts ahead of it. Approach has been terrible by too many guys.
  8. twinsnorth49
    Getting tired of this ****.......over and over and over again.
  9. twinsnorth49
    Lol, Gibson is just useless. 2-2, need to throw your best pitch and he hangs a breaking pitch right over the middle of the plate to their leadoff hitter. Terrible.
  10. twinsnorth49
    You just walked a guy hitting .163 in the month of September. Get some jam.
  11. twinsnorth49
    Gibson nibbling................who woulda thunk?
  12. twinsnorth49
    Defense............yah, it helps.
  13. twinsnorth49
    Yes Eddie, you swung...........again.
  14. twinsnorth49
    Agreed, second guessing Rocco bringing in those guys doesn't make a ton of sense. Those other guys need to get the job done. Ideally Littel and Stashak do their jobs, game is still tied and Duffy is still available later tonight.
  15. twinsnorth49
    Actually I don't think anyone has said he hates the Twins. He most certainly loves the Yankees however, that much is obvious.
  16. twinsnorth49
    Exactly, 3 runs for this team, in this park is not overwhelming. Let's come back and rub their smug noses in it.
  17. twinsnorth49
    Littel and Stashak are not going to phase the Yankees this series, that much is certain.
  18. twinsnorth49
    Yes, we get that too.
  19. twinsnorth49
    The **** Polanco?
  20. twinsnorth49
    Yep
  21. twinsnorth49
    Costas is a dweeb but what's Smoltz's excuse? He actually played baseball, how can he not hate the Yankees?
  22. twinsnorth49
    Costas and Smoltz are wearing their Yankees jammies, that's why they haven't shown them in the booth............yet.
  23. twinsnorth49
    To be fair, they don't know who Byron Buxton is.
  24. twinsnorth49
    Let's check back tomorrow...……...wouldn't put it past them.
  25. twinsnorth49
    That ball doesn't even reach the warning track at Target, lol.
