Hello 

[mrtwinsfan]

Well the Twins struck out  with all 3 batters goin down on Horrible swings,  Solano  Buxton  LEWIS ,  In the top of the 1st

[hitterscount]

3 batters 3 K’s… against a really bad pitcher. Also see the Braves manager pretty much running out the same lineup in the same order… what a sh** show Rocco and company have delivered. Twins body language says it all… stakeout swing at a ball near my head..  who cares, great team chemistry.

Same lineup except catcher which is normal , all 3 games  batting order and fielding,  and with Twins its daily insanity

Well that’s it, go pick some weeds from the garden. 

[Parfigliano]

This bugs me more than a lot of Rocco's other "quirks". I can't stand the daily, game to game, constant lineup changing.

0---16  R.I.S.P.  This series .   0---16    Insanity  zero emotion  team looks DEAD !!!  SAD TIMES TO BE A FAN

Great time to be TC hitting coach.  No matter how bad you fail at your job can't get fired.

[tony&rodney]

Maeda looks ok thus far.

[mrtwinsfan]

Maeda looks okay after 2 ,   Twins batters same old story,

Especially when sometimes it defies logic or ignores past history.  It's like throwing darts at a list of players available.

[CRF]

We're making this Allard guy look like an all star. Just like we do with all of these marginal pitchers. 6K's already. 

[mrtwinsfan]

7 up  6 down    with 6  kkkkkk 

[Mike Sixel]

A 6 ERA, and they look futile. But sure, the FO should stay while they do nothing to adjust....nothing. Nada. Nil. Zip.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

This line-up is disgusting.

[Parfigliano]

Shocking.  ATL pitcher has 6+ ERA and 1.4+ WHIP and 9-23 record coming into this game.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

The team is completely lifeless, you can see the body language. Rocco's not inspiring any type of confidence. If you take 2019 off his resume, and that season was an anomaly across the entire league, he's done nothing to earn the benefit of the doubt.

Popkins is the other elephant in the room. I am simply baffled that any major league hitter would look as overmatched as some of these Twins hitters do.

Something has to change and if either one of those two were fired today, I wouldn't shed a tear.

[RickOShea]

These teams trot out their rookies, rehab projects, future DFAs, and they handle our lineup with ease.  Twins hitters shake their heads, look at the jumbo-tron and talk to themselves, likes they're dumbfounded why they struck out or popped up.  Makes you wonder, where there heads are at.  After all, they are PROFESSIONAL players.

[SockNet]

Provis kills me making each game sound like the opposing pitcher has acceptional stuff striking everone out. I wonder how many vey marginal pitchers have had their best K totals this year against the Twins.

 

[Robert Floren]

It's pretty simple, Twins can't hit.  Is it because they're young?

This is something I've noticed. The looking up at the jumbotron, completely exasperated and confused as to what happened. Popkins needs to go. I don't care what he did last season because even that was mediocre at best. This team desperately needs a different voice and different approach at the plate. The strikeouts are on a historically bad pace.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

2 runs means this game is over. Hell, was over with 1 run. Just can't take it.

Ha, no. They have three "young" players on this roster. Three.
