When the Twins finish losing this game they will be tied with the CWS for last place. Tied for last with a barely semi pro team.

We're barely a semi-pro team.

How bad will it have to get before Rocco is let go.....only to be replaced by someone just like him, I suppose. 

[Vanimal46]

Atlanta Braves fans have described their own team as lifeless without an identity. I have a strange feeling they’re going to find some life playing against the Twins later this week.

Getting Acuna back at some point ought to perk them up.

I assume they would give Tingler the job, which is a worse version of Rocco.  Still can't believe we could have had Tito if they only would have pulled the trigger on Rocco.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Keep us alive, Larnach!

[Aggies7]

Is there even going to be a market for a theoretical Correa deadline trade???

Realistically, the Pohlads aren’t paying 2 manager salaries. Not when they’re this far in the red on their debts. So is Tingler wearing the hat of manager and bench coach any better?

No. Where's Mientkiewicz?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Alas, it was not to be...

[Aggies7]

One thing is for sure, they’re definitely giving an effort!

With his salary, I can't see it.

[AceWrigley]

Ok, cue the dirge.

Voyage to the bottom of the league.

And we have to just laugh at the smartest person in the room for the inadequate product on the field and the multiple coaches in the dugout ...

He's basically the only one who held up his end of the deal.  None of the other hitters even came close.

Please not tingler  , please let it be Toby gardenhire  and hire his dad as bench coach  ...

Oh god no. Please. Anyone remotely affected by the stench of this organization should not be given a chance. It’s fairly clear the organization is poorly run, at both talent assessment and actual coaching. The last thing we need is a twins lifer.

I could live with that.

[jkcarew]

If the team pooled their salaries for todays game and gave it back to the fans divided equally among to 5,000 brave souls that actually attended tonight…each fan would get a check for about $185 on their way out the gates. A little more if you include the salaries of Rocco and Falvey.

I think that would be fair.

Something has to be better than what we have now , just a suggestion  or maybe a solution  , one never noes until you try ..

Attendance 10,240.  More like 2,410.  I sat in drizzle for this BS.

Agreed. I’m on board that Rocco is done here, probably pretty soon. But I’m not thrilled with Tingler pulling double duty, or raiding our farm system for an interim manager. We’re not gonna look outside for a new voice anytime in 2025. At this point I’m ready for things to get as bad as possible so we can do a clean sweep. New ownership, new FO, new manager, new philosophy.

True story. My wife, daughter and granddaughters had tickets for the game and stuck it out for 7 innings. I had a work commitment. Man am I in trouble.

Oh yes, I was speaking on next year. Please no retreads or children of retreads. We always seem so far behind other organizations.

Sorry you made the trip up here to sit in this crap weather. Wednesday’s afternoon matinee will be the best day to be at the stadium this week

Rocco: "The hitting coaches are doing a great job." - Ummmm, are we watching the same game?

Can Gaspar develop into the second coming of Willians Astudillo?  A player that doesn't belong on the roster that becomes a fan favorite on a bad team.

Only if he hits better.

[T.O.]

I don't even like to see a Baldelli closeup in the dugout but made myself listen to his post game interview. My brain glazed over. It's like he's not even there. It's like he doesn't have a strong connection to what is happening with the team.
