    I wasn't enamored with Castillo. Is another team going to claim him? His control was shaky at best and the last couple of outings, there was some loud contact.
  2. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Time will tell. Signing Jackson always seemed a bit odd to me. Small sample size in the majors and not much success. Maybe he can catch lightening in a bottle, but more than likely, considering his age, I think we're in the realm of what you see is what you get. Low leverage arm when you're up big or down big. Wouldn't mind Winder or Henriquez getting another look. Even if they have low ceilings, it's still higher than Jackson's.

    Guessing that Martin gets the call up.
  4. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Welp, that was a hoot. Got the W.
  5. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    I also said to let him get himself out!
  6. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    The end of this game must be what hell is like.
  7. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Oh for crying out loud...
  8. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Just throw a fastball down Main Street and let him get himself out.

    Megill survives and Twins should pick up a game on Toronto in the wildcard standings.
  10. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Bud Black just wants to get the hell out of Minnesota, lol.
  11. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Jackson's just needs to lob the ball over the plate and let the Rockies hit it to someone.
  12. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Speaking of relief pitcher meltdowns, our old friend, Trevor Megill, is on the verge of having one of his own against Toronto. Up 5-1 in the 9th, it is now 5-3 with the bases juiced and no one out.
  13. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Feeling slightly better about the 9th...
  14. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Rocco likely petitioning MLB to allow Thielbar a chance to come back in the game and pitch the 9th.
  15. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    This is an underrated post.
  16. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    IIRC, he just started tossing off the mound. Going to be a bit longer.

    Do-Hyoung Park posted it on Twitter. Rocco's MO as manager has been to get relief pitchers back on the mound as soon as possible so they can get the bad taste out of their mouths. Okay, fine, I get it - in theory. But sometimes as a manager, you have to read the room and you can't be so rigid and operate according to some pre-determined mandate. Thielbar's comments after the game last night sounded like a guy that was shot both physically and mentally. So, sure, Rocco's instinct is to throw him back out there ASAP and see if he can rebound. But, again, read the room. He wasn't ready to pitch again so soon and who knows if or when he'll be ready to pitch again. Nearly squandering a 7-run lead, when every game is important, all in the name of sticking to the script is managerial malpractice. There's zero excusing or defending the decision. It was horrible.
  18. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Also, not ashamed to admit but the 4 run lead still doesn't seem like its enough.
  19. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Twins have two studs on this team - C4 and Royce.
  20. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Ummmm....150% agree that the front office is culpable here. But, so is Rocco. There is not another manager in baseball that would have pitched Thielbar today.
  21. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Come on Royce, give us some breathing room.
  22. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Pinch-hitting for Margot. SMH.
  23. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Stewart's injury really looms large.
  24. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Who the hell pitches the 9th...Jackson!?
  25. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Thielbar was a neat story considering the path that his career took. But, he's absolutely washed and it didn't take a baseball genius to know that after his comments last night, even he thinks he's washed. Putting him out there less than 24 hours later is probably the dumbest thing Rocco's done and that is saying a lot.
