    I’m starting to wonder if these players even care at this point.

    In save situations, you would much rather see them than the likes of Thielbar, Law, Anderson, etc. IDK but whenever Rocco puts a reliever in a high-leverage situation they fail every single time, no matter who it is so it probably doesn’t make a difference.

    Well that's the case with Average Joe's team in all aspects of play. If a team is playing sound fundamental baseball, they should score at least one with a runner on second in any given situation. The Twins are not playing sound fundamental baseball, their opponents are. In a situation where 1 run is expected, if the offense scores 0 and the opponent scores 1, the pitching performed as expected. The offense did not perform as expected, much worse infact.

    I'll go back to run expectancy stuff, because it does matter. The situation that Robles was in had a 1.352 run expectancy. The pitch to Vaughn wasn't even that bad. A good offensive team that is having good ABs at the plate will score at least once every time, against any reliever. The Sox are a good offensive team. We are not, and for this reason exactly. For a run to not score, the pitching has to be ABSOLUTELY perfect (which you aren't going to get night after night after night) or the offense has to be really, really bad in that scenario. The Twins have been the latter almost every time when they bat.

    Varela needs to be gone. Fire his ass.

    I don’t think firing Rocco is the answer. He won back-back division titles, with a combined 137-85 record. He’s been bad this year, but I don’t see why a bad stretch of 40 games negates 220 games. A bench coach is probably the way to go, since he had a competent one (Bell) in 2019-2020.

    What should the plan be for 2022 since this season is so clearly lost? Blow everything up? Retool?
  8. cHawk
    Everyone, show of hands, please. Who predicted this?
  9. cHawk
    But most other clubs are winning ballgames, the Twins are not.
  10. cHawk
    Ayyy!!!
  11. cHawk
    Happ can’t strike anyone out
  12. cHawk
    IDK, you tell me.
  13. cHawk
    That is true. My point isn't that it IS bad (it shouldn't be, at least), but it HAS BEEN quite bad thus far. (and it has)
  14. cHawk
    Runs scored is irrelevant when it comes to this club. A few 12 run explosions here or there make the run differential much higher. And most of those 12 run explosions, they're padding their batting stats in garbage time.

    FINEEEE??!!!!!?! You’re saying our offense is FINE? We haven’t been just “not great” in clutch situations, we’ve been downright putrid. The way the Twins hit with RISP is completely unacceptable for any team. It has scored 3 or fewer runs in 20/33 games thus far. That isn’t going to work, no matter how good your pitching is.
  16. cHawk
    The two worst things an MLB team can have: 2. A bad bullpen 1. An offense that refuses to hit with RISP, score very few runs, and dissipates late in games The Twins have both of those things.
  17. cHawk
    How on Earth could we possibly be this bad? What is holding them back? How is it supposed to be fixed?
  18. cHawk
    Has situational hitting ever been this massive of a problem for an MLB team?
  19. cHawk
    Rally time, I guess
  20. cHawk
    Oh wow
  21. cHawk
    I can’t tell if Maeda was getting really lucky or if he actually pitched well.
  22. cHawk
    Great AB Simmons
  23. cHawk
    Is he fixable then?
  24. cHawk
    It doesn’t seem like he’s throwing the same stuff he was in 2020. Did he just lose arm strength because of his age? Is he hurt? It doesn’t seem like a case of “the league figured him out.”
  25. cHawk
    I don’t think it was un unreasonable expectation that Maeda could be at least decent. Is he hurt?
