Twins manager Rocco Baldelli elaborates on his “unprofessional” reference postgame Sunday in K.C.

After being swept in Kansas City and only scoring two runs all weekend, Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said Sunday postgame, “That was an unprofessional series of baseball that was just played and that’s all I’m going to say about it.” He then declined to answer any questions.

Well, Monday, Baldelli was asked to elaborate on that statement.
