That's why Falvey needs to go more than Rocco does. The entire operation is inept. 

Rocco Baldelli iis the manager. It's 100 percent his decision. 100 percent his choice. 100 percent his fault. 

It's not Baldelli's fault Santana and Margot were the big offseason additions.

It's 100 percent his decision to remove his better hitters, take his starter out needlessly, refuse to move runners, and any other in game decision. 

[howeda7]

Why are we using Bowman in a one run game? The spreadsheet said? 

[OvertheHill]

Good for Bowman. Small victories. 

[jkcarew]

Ok…need to tack on here. Somehow.

Best move Rocco could make is staying on the bench

Agreed. I wish he would take an off day. 

[mrtwinsfan]

Great at bat Farmer,  well played

[h2oface]

R R L R scheduled for 9th. Stewart? Jax is pretty scary. Both would be back to back. Score 5 runs and make it not matter

Make it a week. 

[jkcarew]

HBP. Thankfully.

But I’m starting to question whether Rocco knows that you can make these substitutions in the DEFENSIVE half of the inning. Someone needs remind him that the rules allow it.

[Dan Engebretson]

Haven’t said this for years.  Good baserunning Twins!

Tomorrows headline---TWINS OVERCOME ROCCO BEAT TIGERS

[ib uk]

Thank **** for that! You hate to have to scrap to a home win against the Tigers but after the last week I'll definitely take it

[jkcarew]

We’re absolutely, positively, without a doubt, just as good as Detroit.

 

 

 

Draw your own conclusions.

Optimistic. I would take 11-10 instead of 7-12. You are your record.
