Hopefully they're just getting some ice on it quickly for Jose.

Hopefully they're just getting some ice on it quickly for Jose. He called for a trainer right away but also didn’t act like it was broke. Hopefully it was just instinct to get it iced and looked at right away. |

And all of the sudden it is a one run game. WTH!

Espada is truly the worst manager I've ever witnessed.

It’s a win but the Twins scoring 7 in the 9th is not ideal.

Some good news. Likely will miss only a few
“Jose Altuve has a left hand contusion. X-rays revealed no fracture.”

Espada is truly the worst manager I've ever witnessed. Really? With all of the pitching injuries and bringing up a bunch of minor Leaguers, losing his arguably best player for a month (so far), and somehow balancing a bullpen with the hyped up big three being very shaky for most of the season...I'd say he has done a very impressive job. He's had some poor decisions too, but overall I can't imagine somebody doing better. Dusty wouldn't have let Yainer work thru his struggles and he'd still be playing Abreu at 1B. |

Espada, Baker and Hinch are all the same to me. They all make questionable bullpen decisions out of which the relief core tends to bail them for the most part (until the team reaches the postseason) and the players seem to like them

I didn't mean to type the players like the bad bullpen decisions. They like a tight-knit clubhouse with a manager who's their buddy

Surely you understand they are winning DESPITE him being the manager. Surely. And I don't know why you brought up Dusty, when I said nothing about him and consider him in the top 5 worst managers we ever had. |

I'm mad because he nearly allowed them to blow a huge lead in the 9th inning, when we need to win every game we can win because we are not....SURPRISE!...in a very good position to even make the playoffs this season. |
