I've seen people blame Rocco for today's game and I don't necessarily agree. Yesterday I thought he did a terrible job managing the bullpen but today I thought he managed well. He put a guy in the 9th who the front office traded for and thought was going to help the team...he didn't. He had no other option but to put Rogers in if he wants to win because there's very few reliable arms out there.
I think coddling is a big reason why Berrios was pulled. It's just what Rocco has done all year long. There's no reason why Berrios should be pulled. None. 80 some pitches. Cruising up and down the lineup.
Seen people argue that if the Twins break the homerun record that it won't be legit because of the "juiced" balls. Well all the other teams are playing with the same balls, right? Twins just do it better than everyone else.
The World Series winners are going to be teams that make moves like these and not depend on prospects panning out. I wish the Twins could trade their top 10 prospects right now for the Astros front office.
Yup. The ol' Twins classic. Get some bullpen arms in the offseason just to DFA them during the middle of the season. Don't worry though. Our AAA guys with 0 playoff experience will save the day!
Haha. I knew this FO would do next to nothing at the deadline. We get 1 MLB relief pitcher and that's it. We have a bullpen of Rogers, Romo, and a bunch of AAA guys. What a joke.
