Who is supposed to pitch? Supposed to bring Duran in to throw 5?

If it was up to Duran, the answer would be yes, as he still wants to be a starter. If he was on a better team that knew how to roster a decent bullpen, I bet he would be starting. And I bet he could go at least 5 a game.

So when Smeltzer would have been lit up, this board would have been complaining that Rocco left him in too long

[h2oface]

DPC Double Play Correa.

Fits on offense and defense.

[Winston Smith]

If Correa opts out it's hard to see him getting a long term high buck (30+) deal at this point.

How do you know that? Are you his agent?

So what's your point?

[Montdak]

Cleveland went ahead now late so danger of losing two to both in two days.

....i certainly hope this isn't serious. His OPS+ is 3 points higher than his career average and he is still playing an elite shortstop. 

[CRF]

WTF...are we gonna use 5 or 6 pitchers tonight? What are we gonna do tomorrow when we need to go to the pen? Or maybe Gordo is heading to the hill again?

He couldn't get that deal last year coming off his best year and this year isn't as good as last. Give me a couple teams that would give him a 10yr $300+ million contract  this winter. I don't see a big market at that kind of money. Just an opinion.

[mrtwinsfan]

This to me is Way over managing,  Duffey was fine , what 12 pitches ?? 4 outs,,  

[USAFChief]

Let's save our insults for the White Sox and not other posters. 

One and only warning.

 

[tony&rodney]

The Twins seem to battle at the plate but they are not good with risp and that will need to change soon.

[mrtwinsfan]

Anyone want a good Laugh or many,  go to the White Sox site,  they allow much any language , Comical

Concur. He'll get a nice deal, but I don't see a megacontract as very likely.

We're gonna burn through at least 3 of our top 4 bullpen arms. HAVE to find a way to win this

Everyone but you, Agg. You post NOTHING.

[Mill1634]

Feels like Rocco is overthinking this one a bit trying to get the perfect matchups in a game you're losing. Pulled Pagan, Duffey, and Thielbar all between 10-15 pitches, and we still have 8 outs to get

None of them so far have thrown enough to not be available tomorrow, I'd guess.

FWIW, I wouldn't haven't left Smeltzer in either.
