    And doesn’t one of those 3 games include a game where they had FEWER than 5 after 9 innings?
  2. jkcarew
    You’re speaking in general, right? There’s certainly nothing Rocco could have done to change today’s outcome. And even at that, I wouldn’t suggest any ONE person got the club into this spot, nor will it be ONE to get them out.

    Reality check on Varland... Last year he threw 68 innings. Meanwhile, nobody in the league that threw more than 55 innings gave up HR's as frequently as Varland. Despite all the hard contact, he managed an ERA only slightly below league average, with the help of a friendly BABiP against...again, despite the hard contact. Is he cable of having some good outings? Probably. But nobody...least of all Twins management...should be all that surprised at the early results this year. There was a reason much of the narrative in the off-season was that he was in line to maybe be a #5 behind whoever the Twins signed (turns out no), and behind Paddock (yikes).

    You forget about the propensity for giving up the long ball. But other than those things...

    Saints dead last in the International League in just about every batting category including BA, OBP, and SLG. Things you don’t hear every day: we need Kepler.

    Gotta think Jeffers has made a serious, professional effort to change his 2-strike approach. His K’s are down significantly, and he’s still managing to drive the ball. A bright spot…I’d love to see him be able to sustain it.

    Sure! TODAY Thielbar get’s Carpenter. I guess Rocco was correct when he brought him in Friday after all.

    Arrive at the same place via different routes. Gonna make it hard on the MVP voters.

    😓 I’d much rather had you respond with a quip.

    I’m astounded at HOW good Rocco must think his defense is…and HOW bad he must think Kirilloff’s is to not have Kirilloff at 1B and Jeffers at DH in today’s lineup.

    I’d say, getting the ball in the air is his game. But the constant rolling over on pitches on the outer half ruins that as well.
  12. jkcarew
    Certainly don’t have a problem with him getting more chances at this point. My expectation would be lower than yours, though. As they say…I’d love to be wrong.
  13. jkcarew
    That’s the spirit!!
  14. jkcarew
    I wouldn’t let it Festa much longer.
  15. jkcarew
    Not great, but probably significantly better.
  16. jkcarew
    So close
  17. jkcarew
    Nice job by Sands and Bowman to stop the bleeding. Now let’s get back in the game! Please.
  18. jkcarew
    We’re absolutely, positively, without a doubt, just as good as Detroit. Draw your own conclusions.
  19. jkcarew
    HBP. Thankfully. But I’m starting to question whether Rocco knows that you can make these substitutions in the DEFENSIVE half of the inning. Someone needs remind him that the rules allow it.
  20. jkcarew
    Ok…need to tack on here. Somehow.
  21. jkcarew
    I’m assured that Alcala is learning a lot in St Paul right now.
  22. jkcarew
    It’s a brilliant defensive strategy. It reduces the chances of runs being scored no matter which team is in the field. Rocco, again, ahead of his time.

    Happened to be reading a ‘50 years ago’ history site…general, not sports-centric…. Early in the 1974 season, Nolan Ryan struck out 19 batters over 13 innings. Lest the young’uns among you scoff at this old-timey bit of trivia…this is in an era when the name of the game was putting the ball in play…and players had the approach and skill to do so. Point being…he was throwing HARD…all 13 innings. And he pitched another 20 years after that. Not that we can use Nolan Ryan as an ‘example’ career…still, what happened?
  24. jkcarew
    You mean an entity worth $1.3 trillion? I don’t think the TD staff shares your concern.
  25. jkcarew
    A Camargo sighting in today’s lineup!! For a while there, I thought he might be the first non-pitcher in history to qualify for the pension without an official at-bat.
