Dismal crowd for a Sunday game.

I certainly wouldn't pay to watch this so-called team play.

[BrokenCompass]

Think back to when the Twins were up by 2 runs in the bottom of the 8th. First two runners reach, 1st and 2nd with nobody out. 

Correa grounds out to short, Buxton pops up to center, Larnach strikes out. 

Did Correa try to move the runners over by putting the ball on the right side of the infield? No. Did Buxton? No. Did Larnach at least make contact? No. 

This team is a bunch of dead fish, listless and lifeless, just like their manager - who never, ever, bothers to go for the jugular. Rocco's always trying to have his team do as little as they can today so that they're ready for tomorrow, sacrificing dozens of games per year in the process.

Rocco will always find a way to not get an easy win ...

Well our 2 best bullpen guys have been used and now we go to the 10th all tied up  ...

Rocco went with his gut on Duran in the 8th and Jax in the 9th , how many times in this season we see our closer  not close out a game ...

It will never change, he costs the team 10-15 games a year with his clueless pitching decisions.

There is just zero buzz with this team. I think we’re going to see terrible attendance all year. 

I wholeheartedly agree.

*Incoming Varland excuse* - Rocco mismanaged his bullpen so badly that he had to put in Varland, who had thrown 47 pitches over the last 5 days including 16 yesterday.  Sorry, that was just begging for a troll response. ;-)

Gotta be able to hold a 7-1 lead, as much as I dislike the manager

🤮 is absolutely correct!

[IndyTwinsFan]

And the Twinks have no one to blame but themselves for this uncalled for loss.

[Peter]

With a lessor team.

Right now the bats are Bader, Wallner and Castro but Castro's glove is really no better than Julien.

[Twinsoholic]

Brutal way to lose this game and series. Jax throwing first pitch fastballs was no mystery to the Astros in the ninth, but the Twins should have put the game on ice much earlier. Sucky performance in the second half of the game. You have to play to win for all 9 innings so that you don’t go to extra innings.

Sad to say , but looking like a LONG LONG year ,     Zero Leadership

And we don't get the White Sox and Angels for the next 9 of 12 games like we did last year to catch up.

Plus very little heart and very little clutch play, either.

dont forget putting Smallest ya can at 1st base , no offense to Gasser but major LEAGUE  PLAYER  -- NO,  ALSO COST US TODAY

[mrtwinsfan]

Roccos post game ??  he contradicted himself at least 3 times ,  

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Welp, that was a bad loss.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Rocco's not the only problem but he's also not the answer at this point. Team desperately needs a new voice in the dugout. It may not matter, but there's no harm in trying.

[OvertheHill]

Even really good teams have a bad game here or there. This, however,  is not a good team. No leaders, no personality, just playing out the string…….

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Sorry.

 

I nodded off after we had a lead.

Is there a varland excuse for today like there usually is ?

Too real. Sometimes I feel like I'm insane. This fan base, and a lot of media that covers this teams, constantly prop this guy up as some sort of high end (or worse elite) talent despite him having done nothing to actually warrant the hype. 

But tell me more about his velo.....Yeesh I'm so tired of it.

The starter experiment was bound to fail, but I thought he’d do better once he got back in the pen. So far not so.

I did too, but his issue(s) as a starter don't play well in a bullpen either. Maybe he puts it together, Idk, but I'd love for him to have an extended run of actual success if I have to listen to fans/media continue to gas this guy up. 

[Tlaker]

Apathy is knocking on the door and won’t be long before it busts through 

Fire Rocco now (which should have been done October 1, 2024)!

This team needs a manager that can light a fire under their butts. Rocco is not that guy
