I have seriously never seen so many tough postings on a player as Gasper has had today. It is not his fault that Rocco places him on the lineup card.

I don't get this org. 

Honestly, I think I somewhat understand what they are doing. If winning isn’t your prerogative but finding prices or value for the future it makes more sense. As to Abel and Bradley I think they want to give them an adjustment period.

not till Perez is on --  pleez baseball Gods

Would that be as exciting as Cecil swiping a bag of the Dan naulty- Greg Myers battery?

Luke -  quick learner - knew he wouldn't--- k -again -   stay healthy and  we get to watch a good player grow up ,

[S Bart]

Salvador Perez is a classic

[Patzky]

One game of getting shut out and we have reverted to our propensity to strike out. Eight so far.

They aren't going to know if Bradley is fixed by having him in AAA. We're just going to disagree. Same with Abel.

I thumbs down mean spirited posts. Posts that blame Rocco for everything. Posts that rip using knowledge to be better. Etc. 

Just one question  ...

If you were capable and in the major leagues , would you play for this manager and organization  ???

I think some of the players traded at deadline were glad to leave , IMHO  ...

Finding value with one or two guys maybe.  But they have 7 pitchers over 30, Topa and Ober are the only two that are reasonable to carry on the roster.  If you go thru the fire sale you need to find out about the development of your players.  This is why there is no plan, it is all about throwing at a dartboard and hope something sticks.

It's not up to most of them. It wouldn't be my first choice. But if I was there, is work my ass off. But I'm not sure what that has to do with the post you quoted.

so Gasper should become a pitcher?

Playing in the field isn't working so....

[Sutter50]

Great catch Roden

Ohl looked decent today...constant moves like this are a bit much with 2 outs

He has talent. Glad he's getting experience.

How do you feel about Travis Adams as a long relief guy?

[Patzky]

Sands has kinda been the weakest link in the bullpen of late. Pity that.

[Aggies7]

Sands has taken his opportunity and vomited all over it

My prediction proved true.. Rocco does this all the time and loses games

[IndyTwinsFan]

With the virtually non-existent offense we have, I fear that this game is basically over.

Sigh.

[CRF]

Thanks Rocco.

[karcherd]

Rocco once again trying to show he is the smartest manager in baseball.

Might be Topa is the only guy left standing by next April.

I would have almost rather seen Topa instead of Sands.

I always felt Adams was a good pitcher at St.Paul. if they move Taj and Abel up. .Twins could ditch this weird short pitcher approach...answer is yes
