PS Game Thread "Luke" Twins vs Yankees 7:40pm cdt 10/7/2019ad

[USAFChief]

There's ample evidence Rogers doesn't handle a second inning well...yet he pitches a second inning and gives up a run.

 

Romo out for a second inning...and gives up a run.

 

Rocco has had a really piss poor post season (along with several players), there's just no way around it.

[John Kelsey]

Can someone wake Rocco up? WTF is he thinking right now. 

[Brock Beauchamp]

 

I'm going to assume the metrics placed him there.

Me too, but WHY?

 

It makes absolutely no sense. I'm not blaming Sano, I'm blaming Baldelli... but, again, WHY?

[Vanimal46]

Why is Baldelli waiving the white flag again letting Romo out to dry for 25+ pitches?

[Aggies7]

Remember the time we were up 2-0 in the first game? Been pretty much hell since then

Been out scored 22-3

[insagt1]

 

 

I'm on the fence on Sano too. Could we get a high-end starter for each?

I would definitely consider trading Sano. I'd let Rosario stay.

[Pius Jefferson]

Please tell me Romo is a free agent after the year. 

[Aggies7]

Stole a base because we let them and have surrendered

[howeda7]

I'm starting to feel the same way about Rocco I did about Gardy: Let him manage the regular season. Bring in TK for the play-offs.

ROMO FALLING ASLEEP. TEAM HAS NOT BEEN PREPARED,  TOTALLY iNTIMITADED

Exactly. If we all notice this, why doesn't the manager? and the whole metric team?

[wickedslider]

 

 

Yup... Whatever the Yankees have done right, the Twins have managed to do wrong.

 

Like Sano standing on the front half of the dirt with two outs and missing a ball by a few inches.

 

WHAT THE HELL WAS HE EVEN DOING THERE

I wondered that same thing. IIRC there was a guy on 3rd but with 2 outs he didn't need to worry about him. If he'd have been back at the proper depth he most likely catches that ball.

[Brock Beauchamp]

I'm not one to critique literally every move by the manager but I'm getting real tired of watching Baldelli talk an analytics game and running a Gardenhire game.

[Dakota15]

Remember though, "this team is different"

[howeda7]

 

Please tell me Romo is a free agent after the year. 

He is. But as our 3rd or 4th reliever making $5 million bucks, I'd gladly take him back. Wouldn't you?

[operation mindcrime]

We could use Sam Dyson right about now!

[LaBombo]

We saving May for something?

Spring. Someone's gotta follow April.

 

No stripper jokes, please.

[Pius Jefferson]

Twins will have a new manager within the next three seasons. 

[Brock Beauchamp]

 

I wondered that same thing. IIRC there was a guy on 3rd but with 2 outs he didn't need to worry about him. If he'd have been back at the proper depth he most likely catches that ball.

Yep, I even looked to my friend - a real baseball guy - and asked "Am I ****ing missing something here?" and his reply was a shrug.

[LaBombo]

Twins baseball media last week: 'These new Twins aren't intimidated by the Yankees one bit. They're dying to face them down in the playoffs!'
 
Me, if I looked like Han Solo:
 

[Aggies7]

30 pitches for romo lol

[MNT1996]

I really want the Twins to have a manager that is pissed off after this series performance, but we all know Rocco is just going give out the "it was a great season" cliches after the game.

[glunn]

 

Yup... Whatever the Yankees have done right, the Twins have managed to do wrong.

 

Like Sano standing on the front half of the dirt with two outs and missing a ball by a few inches.

 

WHAT THE HELL WAS HE EVEN DOING THERE

The coaches could have told him to move?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I'm going to assume the metrics placed him there.

Coaches have as much responsibility for positioning as the player, and coaches get their information from the wonks up at the computers.

[Otto von Ballpark]

Spring. Someone's gotta follow April.

 

No stripper jokes, please.

You forgot the comma:

 

No, stripper jokes, please!

[Vanimal46]

Is there any possible reason why Romo is out there for 30 pitches? Any at all?

[John Kelsey]

Hey Rocco woke up!!

[JeffReboulet]

Bwhahahahahaha. Let's leave Sergio in for the entire inning, okay, Rocco?

 

I hate this series.

 

I'm an optimistic person; I've loved the Twins through so many bad years, so this season has been a blast.

 

But, man, this series has really soured the season. Not competitive, totally outclassed, uninspired. 

 

 

 

[Aggies7]

Wonder if this goes different is JO is left in for the sixth

[Pius Jefferson]

 

He is. But as our 3rd or 4th reliever making $5 million bucks, I'd gladly take him back. Wouldn't you?

 

4th reliever sure but would prefer saying thanks and good luck wherever you end up.
