This pretending that Colome is a late inning option again is not going to end well.

Not many other options when you trade one guy who closed and lost the other one to injury. Why it was important (and will be going forward) to win before extras. Just not many other options 

The first base umpire takes a ton of time to call the play. What is the point? Just MAKE THE CALL!

Looking at the Bullpen Usage Chart in game summaries is very disturbing and depressing. I am aware of the options. Colome has no future with this team. No reason to not move on, with any other option. They have already decided they don't really care the rest of this season......

Extra innings.

 

Who'da thunk?

Just aren’t enough (more) reliable guys. Put colome in duffey’s or alcala’s place tonight and are we even in the 10th? Can’t hide him.

Then you are paying too close of attention  

That runner on second will be key. If they don't score Simmons, I'm almost sure the Astros will at least tie the score.

It would be remarkable if the twins can win the first two games of this series against the best team in the AL while getting 10 1/3 innings from their SPs, considering the bullpen options.

Team USA's ragtag team plays for the gold at 5AM. Did anybody see Joe Ryan's 4.1 inning start Thursday AM? The way he handled the plate umpire, and even got a fist bump from him chatting at the end of an inning, was priceless.

Are we not walking Alvarez?

Walk Alveraz!

I don’t get it.

Welp.

Just not good managing. Not at all./

Just inept managing to not walk Alvarez.

Of all the extra inning games we’ve been in, I can’t recall a time Rocco walked someone to set up the DP. I’m sure it happened at least once. Maybe

My vote was for striking him out...

Coulombe, not closer material.

How did that go?

Inherited runners, and one in scoring position. Yikes! At least they only need one out.

Polanco on second. That is a good start....

Only Burrows and Theilbar left in the pen...

Yeay, we survive another inning!

May be game thread will make another page.

A little late than i would prefer, but it came.

Donaldson contributed

That's why they pay him the big bucks 

Can Cave run for Astudillo, too?

Does that mean we bolster the defense and move Astudillo to third and Rooker to first?

We need a 2 run dinger, Mitch!
