I'm really curious what Rogers has to do to lose Rocco's confidence. 

[LVTwinsfan]

I think Rogers should be left off of the playoff roster, he is consistently bad

[FlauerPauer]

 

actually this is who he is. His success closing was more of a fluke

 

Gonna push back a little bit. He's been pretty dominant the past three years regardless of his role. He has a solid K rate and throws hard. He typically has solid control. I mean he is a good pitcher, just having a tough year. Outside of his rookie year and this year, he hasn't had a year with an ERA above 3.10. 

 

He just looks like he lost his confidence this year.

 

 

That was a dirty pitch there.

[MNT1996]

That was a gift

[LVTwinsfan]

Thanks Joey

only good against lefties

He almost walked in another run, luckily the hitter chased the pitch way outside. He probably did not care about that runner on 3rd base.

[FlauerPauer]

Bottom line is the bullpen needs Rogers to be confident and get back to trusting his stuff. The bullpen is better with Romo not closing. Not saying that Rogers should be closing games right now; should be Duffey.

[SF Twins Fan]

No reason Rogers should be on the playoff roster. He’s been terrible this season.

[LVTwinsfan]

Now they probably let him pitch to Moustakas

[MNT1996]

Rogers was lucky to get out of that. I could feel us Twins Daily posters ready in anticipation to curse out him out if he gave up more runs.

[Danchat]

I think we're at the point where Rogers should only be used when we're losing. He's giving up too much hard contact and nearly blew this one. If Votto didn't swing at ball 4 we might have a different ballgame here.

[LVTwinsfan]

Sox 9-5, should have put them away when we had the chance

[jud6312]

Despite the two Ks, I still have zero confidence in Rogers. At this point, he's the mop-up guy in the playoffs.

 

This isn't bad luck as some want to claim, this is a bad season. Not saying he won't get it back next year, but he's been bad this year.

That's the mark of a really good pitch.

[SS MagicMark]

The double train keeps chugging along.

[Nine of twelve]

I'm thinking it but I'm not going to post it.

[FlauerPauer]

DelScanfini kinda stinks. Gotta get a couple more runs.

[FlauerPauer]

 

That's the mark of a really good pitch.

 

Yeah, that was an A+ pitch.

[Sielk]

I'm really curious what Rogers has to do to lose Rocco's confidence.

He probably won't lose it today because Rocco will only see the two outs and not the two runners left on base.

 

Rocco is really great at motivating his players with his confidence in them but this can also be somewhat of a flaw. Sometimes I feel he is just wants to be too nice to them and holds on to clearly slumping players.

[jun]

 

That's the mark of a really good pitch.

Well that's a Sano swing. Swing at anything without thinking.

[operation mindcrime]

Good job Ehire!!!!!

ERA doesn't account for inherited runners scoring, which is a more telling stat for a reliever

[FlauerPauer]

No strikeout!

[operation mindcrime]

Good eye Max!!!!!

[FlauerPauer]

 

Well that's a Sano swing. Swing at anything without thinking.

 

 

Except Votto has been a perennial MVP candidate and granted he is at the tail end of his career, he's still the best hitter on the Reds.

[LVTwinsfan]

Twins are probably gonna need two wins to get the division

[operation mindcrime]

ARRAEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Danchat]

It was only a matter of time that the White Sox won a game... let's just win these final two and be done with it.

[IndianaTwin]

Can you believe that from Arraez? A wimpy single.
