Get these back bats...

Renteria in mid season form.

Ugghhh, the free agent acquisitions were doing great today...until that meatball.

We need to keep scoring.  This Twins offense can put up a crooked number in the blink of an eye.

His game decisions are still really bad.  More talent doesn’t change that. 

Lolol lay off dude its the second game. Give me a Fucking break

his bullpen usage is objectively bad.

Uhhhhh so THAT'S what a righty specialist does? Never knew!

RR continues to show he is clueless. 

again, it was pretty obvious Keuchel was at the end of his pitch count rope and they were bringing in a reliever. the team signed Cishek to pitch baseballs in games that matter. He gave up a 3 run homer. how the fffff is that Renteria's fault?

Yes it's the second.  But RR has a long history of poor management.

I'm like fucking sick of Nelson Cruz

Question....do they test Cruz for performance enhancing drugs when they test for covid?  Asking for a friend.

Who didn't see that coming? 

Losing this game would be terrible, considering the long road trip we are staring right in the face.

cishek was signed to pitch in important innings and spots. he is tough on righties. How the hell was that a bad move? Because it didn't work?

It was the right move to pull him. Cishek just made an awful pitch.  If Cruz is going to hit one off him, needs to be a slider.  

Just now, Look at Ray Ray Run said:

Of course its the players fault . He threw a terrible pitch but Keuchel was cruising. 2 hits no walks to a great lineup . Not sure if I'm right on the hits and walks but he shouldve been given a chance to get out of the inning.

Nelson Cruz murders us

I literally told my buddy they should walk Cruz here and face Polanco. (Cruz is by far their most dangerous hitter). 2 pitches later, gone.

If Herrera, Cishek and Bummer aren't going to be reliable, the 2000 and 2006 offenses aren't going to be enough to overcome it.

In the pregame, Ozzie said there is no way I let Cruz beat me today, you make Palanco beat you.

This bullpen, yuck. Really bad pitch call

At least the bullpen has lots of bodies to choose from. We shall see which 2 or 3 become reliable.
