    Serverino struck out 5 times?????? I know you get the Golden Sombrero for 4, but what do you get for 5? YIKES
  2. cheeseheadgophfan
    Rocco does realize the game is 9 innings right? You don't get a partial win by leading after 7 or 8.....
  3. cheeseheadgophfan
    I've watched the replay a bunch of times.....do you (or anyone?) think that Martin's slide "caused" the injury as the articles states? I don't think he even touched him until after the pitcher was passed the base and I think the damage had already been done.....

    Why Duran in the 8th to get through 9-1-2??? Now who to try to close facing 3-4-5 hitters? I hate not using the closer in the 9th.....
  5. cheeseheadgophfan
    With his injury history, having Buxton steal on 3 consecutive pitches is a fireable offense.
  6. cheeseheadgophfan
    All stats and numbers aside, to me he passed the eye test. Didn't look overwhelmed and looked the part of a big leaguer. His speed plays and he made some nice plays in the outfield. Consider me impressed.....

    Julien is on pace to hit 42 homers.....are you saying you'd rather have Polanco taking those AB's????
  8. cheeseheadgophfan
    IMO Thielbar isn't going anywhere because he's a Rocco guy.....Funderburk may be better but he probably goes. Sending Miranda down makes no sense....he should be hitting here everyday, either at 3b, 1b, or DH'ing. They're going to keep Margot too, probably because of the 4 million they're paying him. I think they send Martin down to make sure he's playing everyday. I like the AB's he takes and he love his speed in terms of base-stealing, but he probably goes in a numbers crunch. Alcala and Topa should be up. Jackson and Bowman are dime a dozen arms.

    10 million for Vazquez seems like a massive overpay. Is there any other team catching-desperate enough to take on that contract? It would allow them to try to make a deal for a starting pitcher if they could dump that contract as part of the deal. Camargo is mashing in the minors but I have no idea how good of a defensive catcher he is.....

    How can Chicago challenge that? Didn't they lose the challenge on Jeffers HBP???
  11. cheeseheadgophfan
    That's what I get for trying to work and follow-along.....
  12. cheeseheadgophfan
    Brock Holt has been a God-send.......
  13. cheeseheadgophfan
    Twins playing "Let It Be" when the Sox challenge the HBP. 🤣😆
  14. cheeseheadgophfan
    And why pull Sands after one inning? Calling it now....Thielbar gives up a run.....
  15. cheeseheadgophfan
    Is there anyone on this planet (other than Rocco) that would continue to play Santana?????
  16. cheeseheadgophfan
    Has he improved or has he just gotten healthy?? Hard to tell.....
  17. cheeseheadgophfan
    The biggest concern for me is that few if any hitters are improving under Popkins.....guys that are supposed to be proven major league hitters like Farmer, Vazquez, Santana, Buxton and to a lesser extent Castro look absolutely clueless right now. Julien has taken a step back. Wallner looked lost. The only guy that you could say has improved is Jeffers. There is something fundamentally wrong with the approach the team is taking right now, and that comes from the hitting coach.

    First Lew Ford hurts himself ironing his shirt while wearing it, and now Carlos hurts himself coughing and/or blowing his nose.....only the Twins SMH
  19. cheeseheadgophfan
    $$$---I'm hoping those are big enough. 😳🤐
  20. cheeseheadgophfan
    Glad nobody took me up on that......😁
  21. cheeseheadgophfan
    I'll place big $$$ on Okert not getting this save....Rocco's bullpen management is bizarre.
  22. cheeseheadgophfan
    1st and 2nd....no out....2-0 count on Santana......fastball right down the middle and he pops up to 3rd. BARF
  23. cheeseheadgophfan
    Just think you've got to have a closer (or a guy who's done it before) in the 9th. You want to bring in Holt in the 7th? Fine. Than Okert in the 8th. The 7th seemed to be the better matchup for a lefty pitcher. It worked, so Rocco will continue to do it. Question for you....does Rocco pitch run for AK if it's a 1 run game???? I think so because his moves all seem to be pre-determined. If the Brewers tie that game up, we have Austin Martin looking for his first MLB hit in the 10th instead of a guy having a career day and the hottest hitter on the team.
  24. cheeseheadgophfan
    It worked.....but there is a HUGE difference getting 3 outs in the 9th versus the 7th. That's why closers make so much $$$$$$. The insurance run in the 8th was nice, but Okert was coming in regardless. He walks the first guy and got behind the second guy before getting a gift strike. If that game is closer, his butt-cheeks are tightening....I guarantee it. In addition, the 7th inning was 8-9-1 for the Brewers including at least one left-hand hitter (maybe 2???). It makes way more sense to bring in Okert there.....I'm sorry but Rocco drives me nuts (PH for Julien, Pitch-running for AK on 3rd base). Rant over LOL
  25. cheeseheadgophfan
    Looks like Okert....I'll go on the record (in advance instead of hindsight) that I don't like it.
