I can't agree with this.

 

But he was dialed in. He retired the last 8 batters he faced

[USAFChief]

At what point do you figure Rocco will notice Floro has pitched to 3 hitters and can be replaced?

[BH67]

Five hits allowed on 19 pitches...a 0.26 HP ratio (no W or I).

[Jocko87]

"Single"

Deflected.

[pierre75275]

This game is now unwatchable.

Really should have left Ober in

Hopefully, any time now.

The look on Pete Maki’s face there says it all. Bunch of guys underqualified to operate and coach in the majors 

[AlwaysinModeration]

Is it just me, or does Floro keep coming into close games and immediately gives up at least a run or runs?

[mnfireman]

Clutching the agony of defeat from the thrill of victory since 2019...

[IndyTwinsFan]

I hope we have at least 4 more runs in us this game, but I'm not counting on it happening.

For cryin' out loud Rocco, take the man out. Obviously Floro doesn't have it tonite. Sheez.

yes

[BiggestRoccoFan]

This is why Rocco needs to be fired and a big reason why we are not in first place by more than 10 games. This move made 0 sense from the get go. There was no reason to pull Ober at all. Cruising with only 78 pitches and he brings in a righty.

At what point does the front office realize they have a manager that is in way over his head and has no idea what he is doing.

He’s got “it” alright, you’re just missing 2 more letters

[RickOShea]

Cleveland waxes LA 8-3.

[jkcarew]

And to think…all we had to do to win the Floro/Lopez trade, was to have the cab that picked Floro up at the airport, drive him to St Paul.
 

But no!!

Seems as if there’s a feeling the division is wrapped up (because Cleveland is so bad) and we can just mess around with 6 man rotations and accepting 5 inning starts. In other words we can give some games away. That’s my take anyway

We are not good enough to give away games.

But we’re pretty good at it, this is the third one piddled away in the last 5

I’m sorry, you think Rocco is a bigger problem than Falvey?

Like I said. We are not good enough to just give away games.

He will probably give away tomorrow as well with some BS line up.

In case anyone missed the floro outing:

Wallner may find himself back in St.Paul next spring.

Falvey has not been making bone headed in game decisions the last 3 years.

Falvey is a problem but I am not going down that rabbit hole tonight.

It absolutely seems this way. There are far too many games remaining and they have too small of a lead. This isn’t the nba
