Unfortunately we have what is one of the worst group of coaches to go along with a terrible Manager. If Tingler was so good why did SanDiego get rid of him? Maki got the pitching coach job only by default when WJohnson left and Popkes has to have hitters get sent down to AAA to get their swing back because he doesn't seem to be able to do his job either. Outside of the games where they hit 3 or more HR this team can't score enough runs to win due to the Manager and Coaches unwillingness to manufacture runs. 2019 was a fun season but continuing to play games the same way since, without the juiced ball, has been a half-a$$ approach to winning. Appears to me that Rocco hasn't figured that one out yet either. Who decided to use Buxton only at DH? The Manager, the FO, or both? It's another bird-brain decision especially when his last 2 injuries didn't happen in the outfield. Seriously, these guys don't know what they are doing.

We all have opinions. Mine stands until they prove to me they can win meaningful games in October. (If they can even get there).

I pointed this out last week. Everyone can see it BUT THE MANAGER. 3 years in a row now we've watched Rocco blow games using a pitcher that clearly doesn't "have it" when the game is on the line. Why does the pitcher in the bullpen who has been performing the worst for the team have the most pitches in the last 5 days? Because Rocco is a poor Manager. Would someone hold him accountable. He NEEDS to go.

When you give up 2 players for 1 in the hopes of the 1 player helping you into the playoffs and he fails, then the trade is a fail. That was the main purpose of the trade and it didn't happen. Could it be the Twins FO just isn't very good at evaluating talent or maybe even more disturbing, is the coaches aren't very good at getting the players to perform at a high level when they have that talent. 

With Max Kepler hitting the injured list, and Byron Buxton taking a much-needed day off, 
 
Please explain to me why someone who is playing DH needs a day off? Does he get tired walking from the bench to the batters box 4 times a game? He only gets on base about once per game so it isn't from running the bases. There's never been a more babied player in baseball than the ever precious Buxton this year.

Is Jax this years new version of Colome or Pagan? Rocco continues to use him as a high leverage pitcher even though he is not up to it the task this season. Making adjustments according to performance doesn't seem to be on Rocco's spreadsheet. Using Alcala for more than 1 inning at a time also seems to be an issue. Again, shouldn't Rocco's spreadsheet tell him that? Also agree that Gray could have and should have gone longer that 91 pitches. Rocco has reverted back to burning through his bullpen. The offense is showing it's lack of production and they can't win games without hitting homeruns. Rocco won't manufacture a run, period. Miranda is sent down to AAA to try to get out of his slump. Is the hitting coach in AAA better than Popkes? Looks like the whole team needs to go to AAA to solve that problem, which means the coaches and Manager at the majors aren't any worth their weight in jelly beans. Last year Toronto fired their skipper midseason and they immediately turned things around with the same players. This team needs new leadership and nothing will change until it happens.
