What is Margot's value supposed to be again? 

Vet presence.  Nothing measurable.

He holds fellow players' down while they stretch in pregame.

JFHC, Rocco. Farmer gets to hit against a RHer. But Julian is out

 

I'm so done with this manager.

 

Any nerd stat guy out there can post stats on Rocco’s pinch hitting decisions this season?

Should have brought back La Tortuga for that. He might even get a hit once in a while.

Quite a bit when dressed in Pink and dating Ken.

Rocco's off stats this year. It's all vibes. 

[Shaitan]

Would it kill them to get a single 1-2-3 inning? No wondering they keep losing.

[howeda7]

Complete clown show. 

[OvertheHill]

Crisply played game tonight. 

[Vanimal46]

Oh FFS!

[Aggies7]

Pickoff error? Both these teams stink and should feel bad 

[RickOShea]

It's not that hard to really lose a game, guys.

[USAFChief]

******* Thielbar.

Another brilliant decision, Rocco.

[Riverbrian]

What ya'll think on the pickoff move. Bad throw by Julien or not? 

[howeda7]

Purge the pathetic veterans. Just cut Santana, Farmer and Thielbar tomorrow. 

[Aggies7]

Well even if we don’t hit, at least the bullpen is a strength

I blame Angel Hernandez.  He's gotta go.

Thielbar needs to be released.  He IS  not pitching well, committing this pick off attempt and error was a crucial play that moved runner up. Manager Rocco, everything he touches seems to go to rot. He should just not do anything if he wants to make change. Do the opposite.  Twice now Thielbar has let his team down against Tigers. 

[h2oface]

Saving Theilbar for the 9th. What did you expect? This is what I expected. Maybe he will need to go on the IL...... best bullpen in MLB.

Two of our runs we didn't deserve, anyway. This team is soooooo tanking.

Divisions can be lost in April...

Toss an inning too

[Shaitan]

At least his ERA went down.

And if they are hitting .193?

We’re watching it. 

[IndyTwinsFan]

I'm guessing we go down 1-2-3 in the 9th.  Even though I hope I'm wrong, I have a strong feeling that I won't be.

You forgot Vasquez and Margot

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

This season is 2021 all over again.

[mrtwinsfan]

use to get pissed at Gardenhire , for never playing his young guys over the Grizzled Veterans,  Rocco might be worse,

Am I watching the game 15 minutes behind or does that describe all of their relievers?  ("In his day" = a couple of hours ago.)

Evidently it's a requirement for the Tigers bullpen. 3rd reliever in a row with the long mullet and facial hair.
