I'm convinced Rocco has no feel for making in game moves. So many worthless batting orders, pinch hitters, and nor knowing when to go to the pen. He doesn't know what buttons to push. 

True or not, but this team fully believes that a pitcher can't face a batter 3 times in one game, left-handed batters can't face left-handed pitching, get-away-day line-ups are a real thing, there are no set roles in the BP and that veterans will play and fail despite the stats saying they are horrible.

There also seems no set approach at the plate, certainly no 2-strike approach and many times, the pitch calling sequence is very questionable.

[USAFChief]

Good job Royce. 

 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Sac fly ties.

Did we ever figure out where Provus is?

I like Cory, but I have to admit...I don't mind LaPanta doing PBP. They should've gotten rid of Atteberry, and had Provus and LaPanta as the radio/tv PBP guys. Just a little tidbit...if I recall correctly, LaPanta was in the booth doing PBP with Bert, when Bert dropped his famous "F" Bombs on live tv.

Preach

[Patzky]

Kepler.. :(

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Oh, and sorry i didn't know the chemistry definition of a retort.

I'll try to be more careful with my word choice.

[jaimedude]

Kepler is topping, swinging over everything he swings at, not squaring ball up like he was when he was on his hit streak. 

[USAFChief]

We still don't have an RBI producing hit this series.

I also like LaPanta.  Cory is too much a homer for. 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Max is struggling. Big time.

[Patzky]

More Rowdy.. say howdy again and again :(

[Peter]

Need a double play!!! Can’t get swept by Pittsburgh!!!

[CRF]

"Head em up, move em out". Oh, sorry...that was a different Rowdy. Never mind.

You ever tried hitting a round ball with a round bat?  When its come at you around 94

[Peter]

Let’s take lead and win this game!!!

[Patzky]

Didn't give the lead right back again.. so that's something.

Was just looking at the available pinch hitters left. But Rocco did it for me! Margot let's go!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

It's Margot time!
