I love the booth roasting Joe West. It's great, and well deserved.

watching the Boston feed. Richard and Torii means other teams feed (for me).

[Aggies7]

I really hope we didn’t miss our only chance of the night already

Quite a few farms in their family history, they just never actually farmed them.

[Mill1634]

We seem to struggle against these soft tossing lefties. Thankfully Gibby seems to have settled in 

[Aggies7]

Not a single baserunner since the first inning. Who woulda thunk

[ashbury]

Need to do something about these one two three innings. This Johnson guy is getting away with murder.

[Mill1634]

I guess Torii doesn't follow the rest of the league on his days off. 

[TwinsCD]

What the hell are we doing on the bases tonite?

[Aggies7]

What in the absolute **** did Rosario just do?!

[Mill1634]

WTF....Another bone headed base running play. That was not needed Eddie. STUPID. 

 

[Aggies7]

That’s just awful by rosario. Awful.

[jimmer]

That's unacceptable. One out and thrown out at home? Down one late in the game?

[Aggies7]

Man that really makes me mad.

[jtkoupal]

The Twins have the right idea by being more aggressive on the bases. If the runner has at least a 34% chance of scoring, he should run home.

 

I didn't have a problem with sending Mauer in the first inning.

 

I did have a problem with Rosario running home in the 6th.

 

The chances of him scoring with the ball in the second baseman's hand was almost definitely less than 34%.

Concur. Not as mad as I was at Cave the other day, but wrong time for that play.

[Mill1634]

I love Rosario. I love him. But if he ever wants to become a superstar, he can't be an idiot on the bases, or in the outfield. That is some high school stuff right there. That isn't going to work on a major league team. 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Without having seen the play, and only reading what's in the game thread, I am going to take Rosario's side (for now).

 

He's been making plays all season.

 

He's the main reason this team still has a pulse.

 

He's had to watch Glynn make countless lame judgments all season, including one tonight.

There’s being aggressive and there’s being brainless. Can’t really ever be brainless, certainly not at this point of the season.

Eddie is about 90% All Star and 10% "What in the absolute **** did Rosario just do?!".

 

As tremendously fun as he's been to watch, that ratio will need to get better when the Twins contend. But for now, he and Berrios are about all that's keeping me from a Twins sabbatical.

Trust me when I say there was no justification for it, and it almost certainly had nothing to do with GG

[Aggies7]

If that’s it for Kyle, he’s been marvelous. But again no run support

[slash129]

We have to keep Gibson. He's the guy that can go into New York or Boston and not get rattled.

[Danchat]

Good thing we don't grade pitchers based on wins and losses like they did in the good 'ol days!

[gil4]

Torii, after Pearce looked at strike 3: "That would have struck me out. too."  

(He had guessed slider or change before the pitch.)

 

[yarnivek1972]

Put this on the back burner for tomorrow’s game: Joe West will be the home plate umpire.

[BoofBonser]

Very nice at-bat by Kepler there

Perfect hit and run execution, also

[Mill1634]

Love seeing the hit and run executed

[Aggies7]

Adrianza is the crucial AB here.

 

And he lays down a bunt for some reason

[Aggies7]

Just need contact somewhere
