You don't think Rocco is in charge of his roster??  WTH

Are you aware this team employs a General Manager who makes decisions on who is acquired, promoted and demoted? As General Managers have done for the last 100 years? You really think Rocco Baldelli called up Cole Irnin's agent and said, "Hey, we want your guy and we're going to send down Alcala to accommodate that!"

[exeoud]

Marlins care more about winning this game than the Twins do.

Yep, he had to freeze. I wish there was a delete function on here

He's not in charge of roster moves. I believe the majority of managers in baseball aren't.

So you think Rocco had no say in whether Alcala got sent down?  I'm speechless.....

[thelanges5]

2-15 with RISP

[Aggies7]

That’s so bad 😂

Prove it.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

12th inning.

Reminds me of Friday.

[RpR]

Win or lose, the Marlins out played the Twins.

I'm not talking about acquisitions....I'm talking about the move to send Alcala down....that's on Rocco.

Weak

[OvertheHill]

What I would give to hear Cory P just come out and say something like, “this team is terrible “.

Their manager is gonna be fired in a couple days and getting a 100 loss club to play harder than Rocco, quite embarassing.

I highly doubt it and I want Rocco gone.  I want him gone even if they make playoffs.

Prove he didn't.  It's common sense.  Manager has control (or at least a major say) in his roster management...i.e. who stays and who gets let go.  JFC...you think Rocco says "i need Alcala" and Falvey says "screw that" we're picking up this pile off waivers and we're sending Alcala out?  SMH

It’s just not. The FO makes those decisions. All of them. Always has.

I do hope Rocco is involved in these conversations. Otherwise that seems like a bad organization. But I've been saying that all month, so... 

[OvertheHill]

Adding to the futility, most of the runs the Twins have recorded in this series were gifted by the Marlins in the field. They have accomplished virtually nothing at the plate.

Wrong.  Just wrong.

I'm watching MLB channel and the commentator made mention of San Diego making a productive out and the other guy said that what the Twins can't do.  

[Aggies7]

Are we going to have to use secret weapon Justin topa to win this game ?

Can he hit?

I wasn’t even sure he could pitch until yesterday 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Lucky for the Twins the Marlins just have zero skill at baseball 

(except that catch in center was nice)

[Aggies7]

You know how hard it is to get to the 13th inning these days ?
