Is this Knothole...and do they actually need to learn to bunt, steal, tag, throw to the cut off man, etc ., lat alone not grove pitches to hitters. This is Rocco's fault. All of a sudden they are trying to bunt and steal bases? Never did it in six years. Rocco has to go

Slow Twins news day?

I'm not convinced that a lot of thought was put into who would be on the field when the FO moved 40% of the roster at the trade deadline. I think it was focused on $$ and not who was going to play the final 60 games of the season. So now we have to develop players while actually putting all of the pressure on them to perform and, oh by the way, win baseball games with no one to teach and guide them like the veterans would be expected to do. BTW, if you want to dump some more salary, start with Rocco. No way is Mickey Gasper the backup catcher on any other team in this league!

Buxton $15M ……. Lopez $21.5M…….Ryan & Jeffers at $7.5M each = $51.5M. That actually equals $59M

.........assuming Portland and Nashville get the expansion franchises. I didn't know Portland was a hotbed for MLB baseball.

Why own a team that were world champs twice, just to field a losing team now? My goodness, you've tasted victory twice. Don't tell me you've lost that feeling of being on top of the world. I can't honestly say Alan Rhoden and Cody Clemens are the answer. They can do so much better. Show us something. Anything. Show us you want to win.

Forty years ago, the Pohlad's were the savior. Now they're a joke.

I hate the pitch count. 99 pitches and still effective? Leave him in. Dang Rocco!

Complete salary dump. Fire Rocco next!!

I've never seen Rocco as a leader. He's an "algorithm" kind of guy. Good riddance!

As a lifelong fan, I get disheartened when the Twins lose. But I'm always optimistic the next day that they can win. But this dismantling? How are we supposed to support a team whose leadership DOES NOT CARE? Did they cut the ticket prices too? Is the next home series free to the fans as a way to say sorry? If you cut and don't care, make sure the ticket prices are commensurate to the product on the field. How did Rocco survive this?

The FO lets us down again. Bader was really the only player we could count on every night. Sad that the ownership has given up so soon this season. While they are stripping the team, trade Rocco. His moves in the 9th inning yesterday were redic. Very sad.

Trade Baldelli

Trading Joe would destroy what fanbase they have left.

Trade Correa for picks or AA/AAA players. Trade Vazquez for a minor league C. Trade picks for Adolis Garcia DH and let him just swing. Move Brooks Lee to SS and Willi to 2B. Demote Keirsey and promote Keaschall. Keep pitching staff intact unless a SP under $5M is available. Let the kids play and improve. C: Ryan Jeffers ($4.70M) 1B: Ty France ($1.00M) 2B: Willi Castro ($6.20M) 3B: Royce Lewis ($2.30M) SS: Brooks Lee ($0.80M) LF: Trevor Larnach ($2.10M) CF: Byron Buxton ($15.00M) RF: Matt Wallner ($0.80M) DH: Adolis García ($9.25M) 4th OF: Harrison Bader ($6.25M) Utility: Luke Keaschall ($0.80M) Utility: Kody Clemens ($0.80M) Backup C: Noah Cardenes ($0.80M) NA: Dead Money Here ($0.00M) SP1: David Festa ($0.80M) SP2: Joe Ryan ($3.80M) SP3: Bailey Ober ($4.30M) SP4: Chris Paddack ($7.50M) SP5: Simeon Woods Richardson ($0.80M) RP: Jhoan Duran ($3.70M) RP: Brock Stewart ($0.80M) RP: Griffin Jax ($2.60M) RP: Danny Coulombe ($3.00M) RP: Cole Sands ($0.80M) RP: Justin Topa ($1.30M) RP: Louie Varland ($0.80M) RP: Joey Wentz ($0.80M) NA: Dead Money Here ($0.00M) Payroll is 43.59% under budget

Surprised Rocco was extended during a 3-17 streak. Makes organization look silly.

With the team sale influx, the Twins will not make a big move to acquire a front-line starter or a catcher to keep this team in the wild card hunt. Vazquez is what we have to deal with until Jeffers recovers. How did they not address catching at AAA earlier? Where would this team be without their 15-game winning streak? There is so much time left in the season, I hope they make a move and shake it up a little bit.

Rocco does not manage. The tablet on the bench next to him makes the decisions.

Chris Paddock's stock just went up

Please. No.

Our training staff is the abject failure in this equation. He's pulled a hammy two years in a row running the bases. Even our Service League coaches would make us stretch out before a game, and we were teenagers.

Too small sample size (3 yrs). Lyman left via FA, not traded. Rodney Cline was traded.

Can they send Rocco down?
