Yes, he was one of the positives, tonite.

[glunn]

I don't understand the decision to bring Floro in or the decision to keep him in. 

Does he have the potential to eventually develop into a good pitcher?

AARGH.  You just can't do that down by 4 in the ninth. 

[Aggies7]

Rookie mistake big time 

[glunn]

Huge rookie mistake by Lewis there.

I think it’s a little bit of needing someone in the 6th because of managing Ober’s innings (whether you agree with that or not), and a little bit of postseason tryouts

Baldelli was not happy with that boo boo from the look on his face.

[IndyTwinsFan]

Well, that ended with a whimper.

[RickOShea]

Well at least the Twins made it a tough ninth inning for the Brewers.

[Aggies7]

A megill clean inning (sort of) would be the proverbial salt in the wound 

[glunn]

Sickening loss. I won't be surprised if the Tigers win the division.

Yah, really made 'em sweat there.😆

[Aggies7]

3 easily winnable games given away out of the last 5. We don’t have things nearly wrapped up enough to be holding tryouts and such

I was thinking more along the lines of a 50 lb. bag of water softener salt.

And a .365 K rate, which is on the rise as he's K'd at .423 rate his last 7. He is Gallo 2.0.

He's Gallo 2.0 if he keeps this up for about another 2-3 months. All hitters have slumps from time to time, it depends if he recovers.

Normally I would blame the gm more, by not giving the mgr the proper personnel, but rocco's in game managing is sometimes down right ridonculous.  I think it's a mutual blame.

And if Falvey is telling Rocco to keep Ober’s pitch count around 75 per game regardless of how he’s pitching who gets the blame?

obvious speculation here but you’re doing the exact same assuming it’s all Rocco’s decision 

Rocco is the manager.

In games decisions are on him period.
