So there's that. The secondary pitches will be more important than ever for him. If he nails that slow looping curve he’s got a chance to find his old ERA in the 3’s

That was my gut reaction to the word as well, but i was stymied by what to quote without earning myself a language related warning... Kudos for just grabbing the image! USAFChief 1

mrtwinsfan Old-Timey Member Posted August 21, 2025 Posted August 21, 2025 Taking Lee out , was a insult to the player , one of the few hitting at all , and we would of seen him again it looks like Patzky, Parfigliano and bunsen82 3
USAFChief Twins Daily Contributor Posted August 21, 2025 Posted August 21, 2025 How in God's name does Fitzgerald not tag on Buxton's fly ball? Edit: walk off win now on Larnach single if he just does what's been done for 150 years. Edit to edit: this kind of **** is so effing costly, and so unnecessary. People say managers dont matter. Well, **** that. Of course they do. Play the GD game correctly FFS. Its not that hard Aggies7 1

mrtwinsfan Old-Timey Member Posted August 21, 2025 Posted August 21, 2025 Rocco will say he pinch ran for Lee cause of how important that run could of been , i say he insults his own players doin things like that and then at the same Time wont MAKE Royce bunt, thats playing favorites and its wrong Parfigliano and T.O. 2
ziggy Verified Member Posted August 21, 2025 Posted August 21, 2025 Anyone else remember in the movie Moneyball when Art Howe kept clamoring for a new contract because "the players won't respect him" if he is a lame duck manager? Do you think that's the reason for Rocco's extension?
Aggies7 Old-Timey Member Posted August 21, 2025 Posted August 21, 2025 Candidate for shortest time looking like a promising bullpen arm Vanimal46 1

SteveLV Verified Member Posted August 21, 2025 Posted August 21, 2025 Top 7 pick before tonight, now heading for the top 5! Could really use some clutch hitters on this squad. I think most of them are afraid to come to the plate in tight situations. Not good.
mrtwinsfan Old-Timey Member Posted August 21, 2025 Posted August 21, 2025 its not like Brooks has ever done any thing late in games either , He makes Lewis bunt - it leaves Lee in and were all better for it , its crap like this is why Rocco cant ever be a winner RpR and bunsen82 2
