Rocco didn't want to use Cave and then lose him when you put Adrianza at first if it goes extras for Cron. He has done it before. If you win the game there is no reason to worry about moves in the 10th.

Terrible decision.....cost them the game.

Great start by Ode last night. Pitching with guys on all night and was tremendous in not letting the dam break. Also wanted to mention Arraez. His triple was all knowing the scouting report on Puig being a block head with hitting the cut in the outfield and knowing he would try to throw it all the way to third. Twins have their second baseman for years to come.

I think in the future a guy like Smeltzer is a lefty specialist. Good location guy at times, but the second or third time through the hits are gonna pile up. Win one of these last two to try and save some ground. Kluber comes back soon too.....

Now Cruz will likely go to the IL. No Buxton, Cruz, Pineda.....the ship may be starting to sink.

Frustrating when this team's pitching gives them zero chance. Down 4 plus runs early the last three.

Give them credit, they don't quit. Two men on for Cron. Big spot.

Rocco needed to start the 9th with Rodgers.....now Cleveland pads their lead.....guy hasn't pitched all week.

35-20 loss at NDSU....hmmmm. Wouldn't be the end of the world, but be nice to win the game.

Cleveland is just a more complete team than the Twins. They fixed their weakness at the trade deadline.

Team needs a quality start, Gibby pitches like dog crap.

I have a feeling that "what if" may be muttered a lot when all is said and done with the 2019 Minnesota Twins. Tremendous lineup. Great role guys. Looks like everyone likes each other. Not getting a proven starter at the deadline will haunt them. If Pineda doesn't come back as the guy from the last two months and Smeltzer gets tagged a couple times this team won't make the postseason.

Martin Perez......yikes.....Kohl Stewart.....yikes......

Has the shift worked at all this year? Like how many times have we seen a ball hit to where our second baseman should have been? 11-6 now. At least they didn't quit.

These ones happen especially after a big win the night before. Just get through it and pray Perez doesn't get shelled tomorrow.

You win tonight. A Sano doubter. If May trusts his fastball and forgets about being fancy they don't need Dyson.

Its Laz and Hunter's crew.....thank God it isnt Hunter W. behind the plate.

He can't be the best option in the outfield.....

Terrible from Castro and Cave in that last half inning. Passed ball and then you let the tying run get to second base because you are worried about the runner that doesn't matter. Then he gets a 2-0 cookie and grounds out.

My goodness does watching Ode pitch take years off a person's life. Twins lead 3-1, need to get 12 more outs.

Duffy-Romo-Rogers.....works for me. Without that Rocco flub on Thursday in Miami and its 7 straight wins..... Two of three against the Braves then split Cleveland.

Yup, Ode on Monday, then Berrios Tuesday. Big spot for Smeltzer today. Fully rested bullpen. Give the team 5 innings and hand it over.

Injuries be darned.....gotta play on. Two for two to begin this homestand. Go get a sweep today and head into Monday with Berrios on the hill against the Braves.

Buxton to IL....Pineda to IL.... Cave up.....Littell up...... Hopefully Cave is just used as a pinch runner.

I remember when Eslinger from Bismarck High played center for the gophers for four years and their undersized athletic lineman would run all over teams with the zone scheme. Having Maroney and Barber didn't hurt, but they were effective at what they did.
