For me it's a larger issue than just today's beat down. Today's game isn't the point. It's Rocco's complete lack of anything resembling building a real team.

They don't take regular infield, they don't take regular BP. Players aren't asked to actually play every game.  

Rocco and/or the front office don't feel the need to bother their players with tried and true techniques to hone their craft. 

Meanwhile, real big-league managers have their 2nd place in the ALE team out there in the sun on a Sunday get away day right before the AS break taking BP and infield. 

And there's Rutschman, catching back to back games. Santander still in RF in the 9th inning of a 15-2 game. 

Meanwhile Rocco can't wait to get his 'stars' back in the shade and on the bench.

I'm so done with Baldelli. Sooooooo done. 

 

 

Nail on the head...

They're certainly coddling them too much.

This x 10000!

The beat writers should just copy and paste what you have written for tomorrow’s papers/websites!

Enough of this garbage…. from ownership on down!

Do you remember a worse division?

Cleve is atop with a .500 record. Royals the bottom feeders are playing .286 ball.

Today, Cleve, Twins, Tigers, WSox all took it in the shins. The Rocket Royals were the only team to pull one out.

He needs to go man and I get so tired of people defending him on here.

The man does not have a pulse and that is exactly how his team plays.

Put Buxton in the damn field! If he can run the bases he can play CF a few days a week.

Get rid of Gallo as he can't make contact with a beach ball.
