well once again the shift bites you in the ass.  Double play depth and guess what, 2 -0 outs.  Screw the analytics Rocco!!!!! Quit the shift

They better get the math team upstairs working overtime over the offseason to come up with some more equations to measure success, because they don't seem to worry much about onfield success.

They did focus on bringing in guys with prior postseason experience, but that really hasn't translated to any success. They just need to figure out how to get the bats back on track, and figure out how to improve Rocco's bullpen usage.

Look at that, someone went with the pitch and hit it the other way. It'd be nice if someone other than Cruz knew how to do that.

 

Might help not to throw on the outside part of the plate when the shift is on so it doesn't encourage the hitter to be fundamental.

Rogers brought in to face 2 lefties: BB off an 0-2 count, RBI single.

 

If I read one more time "but his underlying stats are GOOD!" I'm gonna climb right through this laptop and punch someone.

Sorry, but I feel Kepler gets too much love. Has hit above .245 one season in his whole career and 1-19 in postseason ABs. Why exactly is he not expendable? Him and Sano I think are part of the problem as guys we should mention are holding this team back in addition to the others.

The Astros have done a good job against the shift, and the Twins have utterly failed against it. Good hitters can beat shifts, it's pretty simple.

This is like 2015 and Molitor just kept sending Perkins out, and you knew it was futile and over and what would happen. Only now it is Baldelli and Rogers, but Rogers is not even hurt.

Feels like groundhog's day.  Bases loaded again in the first, no runs.  Rocco pulling pitchers too early and another bad 9th inning

It's been a fun season boys. I want to think eventually we will end the streak, but at some point it seems impossible. I know it can't go on forever, but it may for the rest of my lifetime

This team’s softness is a reflection of its leadership. I’m at the point where I’m wondering what these people always fawning over Baldelli are looking at? He’s handed a superteam, and they’ve done is folded in every meaningful scenario presented. It’s time to quit blaming this on guys like Eddie Rosario.
