Prove he didn't. It's common sense. Manager has control (or at least a major say) in his roster management...i.e. who stays and who gets let go. JFC...you think Rocco says "i need Alcala" and Falvey says "screw that" we're picking up this pile off waivers and we're sending Alcala out? SMH
I realize Alcala has gone through some terrible streaks, but the fact the we had Irvin pitching the last 2 weeks while Alcala was sitting in St. Paul is another Rocco gaffe......
No....you have an elite closer. He does it well. You don't just fill in that position with multiple bodies. People who say that anyone can pitch the 9th.....I guarantee those people have never pitched the 9th.
Yeah.....we should trade away one of the two good relief pitchers we have.....I'm sure Tonkin, Topa, Weiss, Thielbar, Okert, and Funderburk can fill his shoes. Heck, bring back Jay Jackson and Cole Irvin. SMH
The worst part of this blow-up is the Twins finally score a couple of runs on 2 out hits and immediately get bitch slapped by giving up 3 in the bottom half. Any good feelings that were left in that dugout is gone....
In literally a must-win game, the Twins are relying on a starter that began the year in A ball, and reliever that they plucked off waivers a week ago....and he might actually be the best option.
SMH
I think Devers (bad shoulder and all) could pitch right now for the Red Sox and throw up a couple of shut-out innings against our favorite squad.
NEVER seen anything like this.....most unprofessional AB's I've ever seen....1 thru 9.
I guarantee Correa looks to go to 2nd base as well there......it's a freaking double play ball and Farmer is trotting from right field? What the heck is with that positioning? Is that on Rocoo, Farmer???? It's unreal.
