I really try to not read too much into these post game pressers or public statements. There are certain things that he just can't say and while he was clearly frustrated, a lot of what he said was just things that all managers say with a microphone pointed at him. However, on this one I can't help but wonder if Rocco understood the question he was asked. When asked about actionable... He responded by saying they were not going to react to one game. Well of course... Reacting to one game would be horrible over reaction. I assume that his mindset was the game last night and I assume that the mindset of the person who asked the question was a much broader period of time. Of course my assumptions are caused by my mindset so who knows. Forget last nights game. It was one game. How about Is 3 years enough time to be actionable in the case of Kepler and Gallo? Is the entire 2023 season so far enough time to be actionable? How much time is enough time to be actionable is the follow up question that needs to be asked because they are running out of time to actually be actionable.

Castro is better than Kluber.

It's the major league version of the 10 run rule.

That post is will be impossible to beat.

They probably don't even wait for Rocco to call them into the office for the news. They just get in the car and away they go.
-
Yeah... Sometimes it's best to let the answer reveal itself by having a bad game... shower, get dressed, call an uber and head over to St. Paul.
-
I can only assume. He wanted a leadoff base runner or it was simple position for position. I don't like either assumptions
-
Makes perfect sense... it's the fear of the unknown. They simply don't know what Kirilloff will do against left handers while with Gallo... they know.

After L.A. traffic to get to the game. Violence can't be helped.

Yes... Yes I did... I did... Except... No I Didn't.

Based on the photos and I am a Wing snob so I can base it on the photos. Duffs, Gabriels and Bar-Bills might be worth a try. Gene's and Doc are out... They won't be any good based on the photos.

The Twins are liking that hole between Third and Short tonight.

Thank You for your service

I hire a lot of people and I've decided that it's best for the safety of the operation to avoid hiring unlucky people. The system that I use is that I randomly throw 90% of all applications in the garbage without looking at them. If they were lucky... they would have survived the system.

Niagara Falls. That close to Buffalo... I gotta ask about the Wings. I understand that the Anchor Bar invented them and I went to the Anchor Bar and IMO they were not that great. Where are the best wings?

Base Hit for Buxton... It's not a home run but still deserving of large bold font. I won't go all the way to 72 but I'll give him 48 font size. BUXTON
-
And I'll add to this thought. Buxton struck out 116 times last year in 340 AB's. He has struck out 71 Times so far this year in 198. So he only is allowed 45 more
-
You got to think about it logically. Bad Roster Decisions got them into this mess... so it stands to reason that Bad Roster Decisions will get them out. 😁

X's made out of Sausage and O's made out of Pepperoni.
-
The way I see it... Buxton hit 28 home runs last year in 340 AB's. This year he has 10 in 198 AB's. So he owes me 18 home runs over his next 142 AB's.
-
Only 6, 8 and 12 as options. That's way to systematic for me. I decided to rebel against the limited options so I asked for an odd number of slices. I asked them to cut into 9. The Guy said OK. Didn't even question my request. Let's see how they do.

Ordering a Pizza for supper. The guy taking my order just asked me if I want the pizza cut into 6 8 or 12 slices. I've never been asked that question before. Is this a thing now?
-
Some guys do quite well as a DH and others don't. No idea if not playing in the field is the problem with Buck or not. I'm a huge Buxton fan as well. All I know right now is that he is holding the DH position hostage by hitting .089 -- .311 OPS over the last 30 days... K's in nearly 50% of his AB's. If he can't physically play OF... than I have to assume that those same physical issues COULD be causing issues at the plate and therefore COULD explain... .311 over the last 30 days. If the physical issues are causing an issue at the plate... then I have to ask the front office... what are you doing? You need a CF to cover for the loss of Buxton so you can play a DH who... right now... can't hit. That's two positions severely dented.
-
He'd be in CF if he was physically able. The follow up question that needs to be asked is this: Are Bucks physical issues also causing issues at the plate?
