Twins 2022

can we bring Duffey in again in the 9th?

Sands only gave up 4 in his start that may be the best we can look for. He made it 3 2/3 innings. I think Duffey is not going to be here much longer and I was kind of excited that Rocco got thrown out. He actually stood up for his players.

And even when he gets thrown out he’s boring. At least kick some dirt on the plate or throw your hat. He’s so uninspiring.

Did I mention Joe Madden is available? Rocco is getting absolutely destroyed on Twitter by the Twins fans. He actually said in his post game that he wanted to get Duffey out there in that situation so he “could work through some things”.

“Work through some things”😆

He can work through those things in St. Paul. As for Maddon, I think I read he said he is done coaching?

“As for Maddon, I think I read he said he is done coaching?”

Yes, plus he’s on the record as a non-analytics manager which would be counter to Falvine’s philosophy.

Twitter……is that a thing?

Yesterday Madden said he wanted to keep coaching. Falvine have no intentions of getting rid of Rocco. I think the Pohlads would have to fire them to get rid of Rocco.

Correa back tonight.

Nick Gordon as SS?? No Arraez??

Tightness in his wittle shoulder…..giving him the day off.

Arraez has mild tendinitis in his shoulder from getting too many hits ~

I’m still not convinced Tommy Watkins at 3rd base coach isn’t playing for the other team…..

i like the aggressiveness but if roles were reversed, no way our guys throw out any of their guys. every team should steal any chance they get if Jeffers is catching. kind of shocked Rocky is letting Archer pitch this deep

how funny would it be if they had Kaat call the play by play in this one

A Jeffers sighting!

That was a laser shot from Buxton.

As for Kaat, Nestor actually commented on Kaat apologizing after the incident and I respected what he said. Basically came out to I appreciate the apology but it wasn’t necessary. Maybe some people took offense to it but I certainly didn’t. And went on to talk about what a legend Kaat is.

I like Nestor. He’s got a good sense of humor too from what I’ve read about him.

that mustache tho……ima stop there!

Bremer said when he was talking to the media earlier this year he said he didn’t become a good pitcher until he grew the stache.

My god. Stanton looks like a tee baller out there.

Now…..When will Rocco strike?

i think i see Duffey loosening up……

See Rocco, this is when you let Duffey figure things out. Just like you did with Pagan…..

that extra rest really added a few mph’s on Pagans fastball. the yankees feed is so depressing to watch

Eff the yankees

Now THAT was a baseball game!

In case anyone missed it, Miranda is hitting .390 in over his last 14 games…..I think he’ll stick around.

I can imagine. As well as they’ve played this year that has to be their worst game of the season. Very ugly game for them.

they did not play well in the first game either they had 3 or 4 errors. Now we get to see what Bundy can do to this lineup.

“Now we get to see what Bundy can do to this lineup.”

…You’re gonna need a bigger stadium..

All kidding aside:
Twins hit the ball from the best pitcher in the league right now.
Yankees couldn’t hit Archer – bad night, baseball gods…whatever – he got it done.
Twins defense was good, yankees not so much.
Exciting ballgame to watch with clutch hits when needed.
Great double play by Polanco and Gordon ( first one hurt but got a double paly grounder to save us)
Funky little pay at first by Miranda on Hicks but watching the ball, the runner AND the base was just too much for him.
Kudos to the boys.
Tuesday’s game was a horrible show from the man behind the plate – kepler’s “foul ball” was the final shining light on that fiasco. Two pitches that WERE strikes anywhere else in the game led to walks and to what started the scoring – oh well part of the game I guess.

Guess that shows how bad he was in his first 13 then. Hit .390 in half your games but only a .223 average.

As the late Dark Star used to say, “get the women and children out of the first 5 rows in left field!”

That’s what happens when you first get to the MLB.

Welcome to Minnesota Mr Cole!
