7-14. When will the breaking point be this year?

Atlanta hasn't won consecutive games this year until tonight ...

There won’t be one. We’ll win some games here and there but too many holes right now. The pitching staff is a mess. Even the “good” starts are rarely more than 5 innings and we just don’t have enough trustworthy relievers that can hold leads. And we won’t get big leads because the offense is still weak, so it’s usually going to be “high leverage”. Just a run of the mill below average team. Starters need to go longer, it’s killing us.

I think they are already past that point.

I want to see Emmanuel Rodriguez up soon followed by Walker Jenkins when he gets healthy.  Even Kaelen Culpepper should be considered.

Twins have the second lowest IP/start in MLB at 4.75

There might not be one for Rocco and the staff this year sadly. But for the players it feels like the season is over already. I can’t envision a time when the Twins are above .500

Skol Timberwolves! Wild play tomorrow so there are distractions in MN sports before summer.

And it’s completely self imposed by Rocco.  There are AT LEAST five starts where Rocco pulled the starter far earlier than he had to.
