WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Way to go Arraez!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now we're getting excited about a two out single in the ninth, while being shellacked by a hated rival??  Doesn't say much of anything positive about this team,  does it?

Don't worry, that someone is the Yankees. 4 games in the Bronx will do the trick.

Almost hate to like this, but I agree that it'll likely be true.

Lifelong twins fan here, but this is just not a likelable team, at all. Sorry.

Underachieving in every way. Self-important, smartest guys in the room attitude from the front office.

It's just not any fun. Super, super, super disappointing. Clean house, imo.

If I were Dylan Cease I would not for one moment have considered walking Arraez. The game was not on the line, and I would have felt that walking him would have cheapened the no hitter. He went after him and Arraez got him. Good on both of them for the way they played that out!

This is a lame move from Rocco, Gordon also risking an injury

I think Rocco was playing to prevent a no-hitter with an embarrassing delay move......that is not Twins baseball! EMBARRASSING!!!

I needed a good laugh, and tonight's game provided that.

I was 9 when Twins came here and now at 69, watching that bush league move by pitching Gordon, to breakup/delay/chill their pitcher, probably the most embarrassing move by my team since 60 years ago.

And if one loses the no hitter in the 9th, to the best, current hitter in the Major Leaugues...no reason to feel bad.

What i miss?

I love it that Rocco put position players in to pitch. He’s saving arms for a game they can actually win. Dylan Cease can kiss my ass.

I know many of you did not support Terry Ryan but that move would NEVER have happened under his watch. I think a meeting is in order, something went horribly wrong. While I am not a fan of the so called unwritten rules of the game, there is something called decorum that still exists.

I'm listening to Rocco's presser, he sounds beaten and not being avoiding any "blame" or reasons for pulling players and "not talking to the batters" re: the opposition pitchers domination! WOW! Just WOW!

I felt the same way. It is difficult to imagine that any true fans of the game of baseball would feel any different. 

By the way, Cease wanted no part of a cheap gem by purposely walking Arraez and tried to pitch him tough. Cease and our management presented such a massive chasm of baseball skill.

You should ask what the Twins batters missed.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Anyway, sorry i missed it all.

 

I'll shoulder my fair share of the blame for today's game.

 

Sadly i expect i'll be distracted again during tomorrow's game.
