Very nice win guys.

I get that we don’t have a lot of choices, but can we stop with C4 in the cleanup spot? 86 OPS+, 14% worse than league average

Rocco stinks

If Rocco is really as bad as some claim, then they must've had some Murderers Row-level talent over the course of his tenure.  The way he gets talked about, you'd think he has some string of 100+ loss seasons.  He's never lost 100 in a season.  He's never even lost 90 in a season.

He's not a good tactician.  He generally becomes too focused on winning a matchup to the detriment of winning the game (ex - pinch hitting too early, which he has backed off of to a degree this year).  He's good at keeping good vibes rolling, which is why they get on these extended hot streaks more often than teams of their caliber should.  But he's also not great at getting the team out of a tailspin either

Overall, that adds up to fairly mediocre.  If I'm a Pohlad, I'm moving on from him.  But not the worst in the league.  Let's try to have some perspective.

 

Every manager has strengths and weaknesses. 

With Rocco, the players like him and he manages personalities well.

But his in game decisions, especially with the pitching staff and things the like contact play have to be among the worst in the league. Zero feel for the game.

With that said, he does pluses as a manager that prevent from being among the worst overall managers. But if we're going just by gameday decisions, he's definitely among the worst.

Still doesn’t have to come in. He pitches violently, i’d not have him throw meaningless pitches in game

Thanks to a Twins TV glitch in my feed (and an assist from a disagreeable toddler at bedtime), I didn't realize I was like half an inning behind and missed most of the offensive fun. :-/

I'll fill you in.......Twins hitters are hitting the ball very well this inning.
