This is crazy.

Rocco checked webmd and it said that Duran's arm would fall off if he faced 2 more batters.

[Aggies7]

Even if it works out, it’s a terrible decision that I’m struggling to explain

I get it. I just hope it works.

I also get it and I equally hate it. Use your best horse RIGHT NOW AGAINST CLEVELAND. To put it bluntly, **** tomorrow.

Well the computer says...........

And that’s the problem… if that’s all he’s going to do then anyone could do his job, I didn’t realize he wasn’t allowed to think for himself

[CRF]

Extras...here we come!

[Azviking101]

When Thielbar blows this I want to hear so many boos.

[Aggies7]

I mean, this could be a fireable offense.

Unbelievable, this is risky…  I’m glad the fans booed Rocco, I’d like to see a lot more of that

Same. Instead they sit on their hands, whisper "oh jeez" under their breath before heading home for some macaroni salad and a glass of milk.

Baldy is just incapable of managing a game now, it seems. How do you like your plan so far, Baldy!!!???

[Puckett34]

There's a runner on.  Can we bring Joe Smith back in?

[Aggies7]

Managers and closers are overrated, eh

[Aggies7]

As bad as Miranda has been at first, he may have just saved a game 

[wsnydes]

That could have been very bad...

[LVTwinsfan]

I’m really starting to dislike Thielbar

Let's not forget to place a significant portion of blame on the front office when Baldelli's choices are:

1. Ride Duran too hard and break him

2. Lose

[h2oface]

Mr 7 era on the mound. Unbelieveable.

OK. 6+

Seems the matchups are reverse. Did you see that in you charts, Baldy!?

[LVTwinsfan]

Rocco is sweating bullets

Yup. Break him? Seriously?

But at this point today you’ve already committed to him for two innings. Senseless to yank him. He could have thrown 10 more pitches maybe (hopefully)?

[Aggies7]

Genius move by Rocco, had it all along ?

Rocco lives to see another game.

[h2oface]

Still absolutely hate the decision. Got lucky. Real lucky.

[mrtwinsfan]

Never a doubt

[Mortimerkenny21]

Hot diggity, we needed that win!

 

[operation mindcrime]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Craig Arko]

Rocco, the idiot savant manager.
