I don't subscribe to the idea that having pitchers pitch is mismanagement in any way.

There's zero evidence last year's innings total limits this year's. 

 

He was on pace for about 175-180 innings before they shut him down. If you think that’s easy for a guy who has never come anywhere close to that many innings at any level of baseball then I don’t have anything else to say.

"superstar"----------- in his mind maybe and Roccos,  Money shouldnt matter

Money shouldnt matter in everything.  In 2023 America it matters in everything.

Magic 8-ball says "no"

[9moons27]

Littel looks like Cy Young.

[GusGus11]

We might need the Guardians to win a couple games just to wake this team up.

This is the 3rd straight game of 90% horrendous ABs. Not just bad but utterly awful 90% of the time. We are not even trying to put pressure on the pitchers most of the time.

[Sutter50]

Great job Louis Varland!!

[wabene]

Louie is ****ing fired up baby!!

Burt or Adam,   who was better

[USAFChief]

This is just an absolutely pathetic performance by the offense.

I don't want to hear "Littell pitched well."

Of course they’re made by Rocco. He makes the call depending on game situation etc. You only get one if you lose. The video guy is only relaying what he sees on the video. And as we know, the video can be iffy depending upon angles, and NY’s interpretation which can be different than what the video guy sees or thinks he sees.

It has been clearly stated that the decision is in the video guy's hands. Not Rocco.

So fix it.

[mrtwinsfan]

Let  Varland go as long as he can, at least 2-3 rocco

Why can't we ever have a pitcher like that?

[GusGus11]

That Vazquez AB was exhibit A on our approach the last 3 days.

Was not interested in the slightest in taking a pitch.

Littell has thrown strike at almost an 80% clip.  52 out of 66 are strikes. So let's take some pitches so they're down 0-1 or 0-2. Yeah that's good strategy

Here is a pointer for you. Strikes are also pitches that you swing at that are out of the zone.

Like the 2 vazqeuz did that were at his eyes. Watch the game and leave me alone, you argue to argue never provide any actual input and border on harassment.

[wabene]

Willie!! 

[USAFChief]

That'll work.

[Parfigliano]

Boom.

You mean according to Bremer for the umpteenth time, the 'former Twin'?
