He was 40 years old too when he played here. 

Not sure RPR knows Jim Thome had a whole career outside his time here.

I know his history, Lewis - good bat fragile -- Thome- good bat fragile.

Simple analogy.🥸

Now i just wanna see him even more.

 

Maybe he's like Beetlejuice? 

 

Only once more...

Your wish is Rocco's command!

Well aware of it, only referred to the time here.

[CRF]

DAMN!

[Aggies7]

Wrong guy playing center

As a precaution

[Vanimal46]

I’m getting really tired of Dobnak. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

In my own little way, i been commemorating 77 -Andrew Albers.

 

I since shifted that to 68...

[Vanimal46]

And I mean really god damn tired of Dobnak. 

[Patzky]

Can we just send Dobber where Jackson and Staumont went to?

[TwinsCD]

Was hoping Swanson's wife would be the only one in the family to have athletic success today.

However, not sure what our outfielders were doing there.  Plays like that make you miss Buxton that much more.

The audition is done for Dobnak.  He's not an MLB pitcher.

[wabene]

Sloppy... Olympics?

[Aggies7]

Hey look. Our right fielder was 300 feet away not backing up. 
 

Because we’re definitely not poorly coached

You're not wrong...

[Aggies7]

The dobber’s good story was just that

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Buxton, Martin is not...

The twins give away winnable games. There’s no stat to show that, we all watch the games. 3.5 back at this moment, how many give aways are ok due to poor basics of the game?

I just don't see an aspect of managing a team where is even average.   I rate him below average at: line-up construction, bullpen usage, situational management, pinch-hitting substitutions, showing emotion when needed, etc.

Not really even a good story. He's been earning 7 figures to eat minor league innings.

Not like any of us wouldn't do that. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Sweet are the uses of adversity.

Way to stay with it, Mr. Dobnak!

[CRF]

That was a nice play by Miranda.

I probably wouldn't.

 

Doesn't help the team.

(gotta get outs to eat innings)

I know major leaguers generally don’t back up plays in the outfield like little leaguers do, but knowing there’s a goofy ass guy out there who can’t play center…you’d think max would be doing a little more hustling there. Maybe he wasn’t told to or needs to be told?

Yep, he doesn't belong on a mlb team trying to make the playoffs or win a division.

I give Rocco credit for starter usage. I think he's pretty damn good at when to remove his starter. Or not remove. 

He runs a good clubhouse, I believe, although that's tough to judge.

I don't see him as good at much else. His teams do not generally play the game well. 

 

[CRF]

Well...I think we got Imanaga'd tonight. Gotta get em tomorrow afternoon.

Actually, they do. Usually.

Dobnak...ummm, no more.

Dobnak was never expected to step up and perform. I’m getting good god damn tired of López poor performance. Which in my humble opinion is more distressing than any Dobnak performance.

As you called  week or so ago, it's a DFA waiting to happen.

Where’s the guy on Twitter who was bragging about byron’s health a couple days ago? Since Byron “could have stayed in the game” Sunday and “could have played yesterday”. And didn’t play today and his replacement sunk this game for us
