That would set up the bullpen better for the rest of the series.

I agree with this.

Ironically, the two most criticized FO moves (Bader and France) have been keeping us ahead of the White Sox (barely). Bader is a high wire act that is fun to watch

Why not have Miranda hit for Gasper.  I know he has struggled but he has had more success than Gasper in the majors.

Is that what you would've done based on your managerial experience with your "seasons" back in junior high?  😉

If you are an advocate for Gasper, then you must have stopped playing at the T-Ball level.

I'm not advocating for Gasper at all.  And, no, I didn't stop playing in T-ball.  I did play on a pretty good little league team though.  We took 2nd place in the league in Mankato back in the day, Summer of '77 to be exact.

That was the same time frame I played in Mankato.  My coach wouldn't listen to me, so we didn't do as well.

When you have to bat Gasper in a game winning situation in the 9th inning that tells you how bad this roster is.!!

Then he doesn't even get a full swing! Incredible!

For most of the fans who couldn't access apple+ you didn't miss a thing.

Well, there was a "thing" or two - including the return of Willy Mays Hayes - but not much good...

Unbelievable Rocco has no idea that Alcala wasn't on his game , 2 walks and a single and no outs , 3 batters no results, you get him out of there , but not Rocco ,  he wants a pitcher to eat innings ...

The responses in this article are all correct that Rocco needs to be fired , tingler too and probably some coaches  ...

 

If a player doesn't perform he gets released or optioned to AAA , if a FO office doesn't perform he gets promoted  , if a manager in his seventh season doesn't perform , the eye test says he should be sent packing ( to bad there are not metrics on how bad a manager truly is that our analytical department can present to those that make the decisions ) ...

Toby gardenhire your opportunity should be coming and you can't be any worse than what we have now  ...

Fire Rocco please , not a major league manager  , this is not good business for the pohlads,  losing fans in attendance ( friday night attendance was miniscule and unexceptable for a business that is exploring  selling the team , are the pohlads serious in any aspect of owning or selling this team ) ...

This is definitely a TOTAL SYSTEM FAILURE  MAJOR LEAGUE TEAM ... 

For anyone like me that played sports your body responds to activity differently based on a lot of factors. You have no idea of a player is in sink until he played a few innings and had a few bats.you observe which players has the hot hand. And then you never use analytics to remove him from they game and substitute with someone that yiubhave no idea had a hot hand or not or a hitter, isn't even really warmed up. That's why they call it coming in cold off the bench.
