    Someone in yesterday’s game thread identified what is missing in this team, other than a clueless manager…. They have like 7 DH’s on the field in every game. The one big issue is none of them are power or even contact hitters. There is very little team speed and the ones that can steal a base are never given the opportunity, unless the game is out of reach. The 7 DH’s in every lineup are below average fielders, lack the basic fundamentals to overcome some of their athletic non-ability and give away outs and rarely make game changing defensive plays. The pitching has been underwhelming the last 10 or so days, but overall they have held their own. Between a terrible manager and a philosophy on offense that doesn’t remotely match the talent we are likely in for a brutal end to the rest of the season. I for one would like to see Rocco relieved and replaced with a minor league manager, send down or release every player not given 100% or falls into the DH category that can’t hit or play defense, so like half the everyday players, and let the guys performing in the minors get moved up to see what you have and who can be moved come the trade deadline. What we have watched the last 5 of 6 games is a disgrace to professional MLB. players and organizations. Thank you for allowing this long ass much needed rant.

    Really… do you honestly believe this organization has the balls to remove Rocco?

    Pat Murphy is hands down a better:superior coach to Rocco. You look at these two rosters and without doubt I would take the Twins….. ok, I said earlier this season that I am done with the fire Rocco rants. I will just sit back and watch really bad uninspiring baseball for the next three months.

    This is absolutely a joke. Correa watching a fastball strike 3 knee high middle of the plate, Lee taking deep breath’s like he’s facing a firing squad. Wish the winning streak never happened, could have tuned out a month ago.
  5. hitterscount
    He can put up numbers similar to what Ober did yesterday… so no thanks and thank you to the CWS for taking him. This is about to get ugly in a hurry. The offense is not going to help and the starting rotation is fading. As the competition in the next several series is getting tougher hanging around.500 would be a win.
  6. hitterscount
    Now the offense is just going through the motions… pathetic and unprofessional approaches.
  7. hitterscount
    Two outs nobody on, they manage to get 4 runs. Bases loaded no one out with our 1, 2,3 hitters.... nothing. We are playing some really putrid baseball. Houston might just take back to .500

    Or TACO up AF-1

    Just posted yesterday quit bitching about the umps and strike zone BS. What I am watching is strike zone malpractice. Regardless you can't, shouldn't, get swept at home.... don't care if Toronto is playing well.

    Defense wins games, and need some offense, at this point Wallner cost them Fridays game and that was a play you need to make at he MLB level. Terrible read and it cost the team a run... which could be the difference today.
  11. hitterscount
    You cannot get swept at home that puts you on a four game losing streak. Just won't work if you want to make the playoffs much less catch Detroit.
  12. hitterscount
    The umpire argument/excuse is beyond weak, it is so tiring to hear it after 90% of the losses.... Couldn't catch the game, however it sounds like better defense from Wallner or a clutch hit somewhere and Ober and the team gets the W. Take care of business and control what you can and then the big bad umps won't impact the outcome, because missed strikes go both ways.

    Festa doesn't look like a MLB starting pitcher at this point, hasn't all season. Matthews, was pulled after a little over 70 pitches last night, granted wasn't missing many bats, but he looks like he will be a solid starter moving forward. Will need SWR or Festa to step it up. There could be a lot of flipping between the two until , hopefully, one takes to the opportunity and seizes the moment. Cannot afford another injury to one of the starters.... How quickly things change!

    A trade should happen if they are remotely serious about making a deep playoff run. 27-4 when they score 4 or more runs, 4-22 when they can't muster that mark. We've seen enough of this offense to know it's what it is. We could use help at 3rd, maybe second or even a DH. This rotation is borderline elite, the BP is really good. One proven productive bat and possibly a mid-level player with speed that is a contact guy would make this team dangerous and set-up for a nice playoff run. My only hesitation is if they can't catch Detroit the WC games are tough if you can't get home field. So, the sooner this get done the better.... my head tells me in typical Twin MO nothing gets done.

    Giving Rocco credit for letting Paddock go.... you don't hear that every day from me. Rocco stepping up his managerial skills.... Like it.
  16. hitterscount
    Has to be extremely frustrating. We need a hitter added to this team... Sooner than later.
  17. hitterscount
    If you could get a Gunnar Henderson or that type of young player with some team control with one of those three,pitchers, a top prospect and Lewis, do it. They have Ryan, Ober and Lopez coming back. This window of high quality pitching cannot last long with FA coming into play after next season.
  18. hitterscount
    Been saying this all season. Now they are back at .500, actually comfortably over, and in the playoff hunt… trading Festa or Matthews and another prospect for a proven bat would make a huge difference in the offense. This pitching staff is for real, need to go for it while they are still together and affordable.
  19. hitterscount
    Zero reason to pull Ryan.
  20. hitterscount
    I have been steady all season, calling for the dismissal of Rocco (which I now retract), believing we have a top 1/3 rotation and above average closer and weren’t going to be able to muster any consistent offense to win series and get back to.500. Finally was able to watch most of this series and they are a different team. Not sure what has changed, Lewis , non-factor, Castro solid utility guy… Rocco a more traditional approach. Im back and ready to enjoy the season regardless of results… except yankees, we need to compete against them.
  21. hitterscount
    Hockey players they are not. Regardless playing great fundamental ball, I will eat crow after being a downer for most of the early season. They have become a very entertaining team to watch. Ill keep MLB for the future.
  22. hitterscount
    What an outside the box idea…. bringing up your young talent that are producing in the minors. Some organizations just seem to be more interested in trying to reward production at the minor league level rather than letting them sit for years.
  23. hitterscount
    I would think you start by brining up players that are performing in the minors. There are several candidates/options. But like many floundering organizations they value team control over on field performance.
  24. hitterscount
    Game probably over, professional approach by the top of their order.... Something we know nothing about.
  25. hitterscount
    Why is Lewis still in St.Paul? Let him rehab with the team. Gasper, Julien, , Clemens... I don't care who he replaces, when he can play Lee can go to second and the defense is automatically upgraded. Plus he will probably hit over .140, it's a win win.
