Why is Gordon not on 3rd? For a guy whose been around ML baseball his whole life he sure has terrible instincts.

I'm afraid it's a team with very few intangibles

[MMMordabito]

Way to go, Gary "Rally-Killer" Sanchez.

[tony&rodney]

Once again the Twins go for a huge inning as opposed to Urshela bunting the runners over and removing any opportunities for a ground ball double play. The stubborn refusal to consider bunting is costing the team in nearly every game recently.

right after the record ending single by Kepler, the very next pitch GIDP to end the threat

Think that was on Rocco's excel spreadsheet?

Yep, that’s baseball

[SanoMustGo]

Ryan is up to 38 pitches, Rocco better get someone warming in the bullpen

Bent? Bent is to be involved in something you constantly decry.

Let’s be done with the BS. Forgive me for my part

[CRF]

Kep finally figured out how to go opposite field?

[SanoMustGo]

I assume Sanchez won't be back next season?

Why not, he is better than Jeffers.

[SanoMustGo]

clutch Buxton

[Aggies7]

Just a complete inability to move runners and produce runs. Even our best guys.

 

edit; except Miranda, who is special

probably cost 8-10 million, spend that on pitching

[RickOShea]

What's this great love affair with Baldelli?  Article today listed managers who may be on the way out.  Rocco didn't even get honorable mention.

[LVTwinsfan]

I understand the desire to remove a pitcher before his 3rd time through the lineup. The problem is you don’t have enough relievers to execute that misguided strategy

His team was in first place for most of the season. There’s 24 teams at least that cannot say that. Although I don’t agree with his strategy, I think Rocco’s job is safe.

Twins are the only team to GIDP? Wow, I didn’t know that

[Aggies7]

At some point as a pitcher don’t you have to figure out how to get guys out the third time you see them like was done for 100 years?

You mean center cut 90mph fastballs won’t get the job done?

[h2oface]

I think Sanchez calls a horrible game for Ryan. Sets up hitters to succeed, not his pitcher.
