    Actually scored him this time.

    Cave man digging for three!
  3. rwilfong86
    Great defense there!

    I'm just watching to see if Arraez can get the batting title. Probably others are thinking the same at this point.
  5. rwilfong86
    And now Ryan has become unreliable.

    I think the FO jumped the gun with Molitor but are too lenient with Rocco. I would personally take Molitor over Rocco any day.

    I don't think the pendulum has come back. The batting order for tonight's game is another example of the inconsistency which has marred this team all season. My statement about the disappointment that the front office isn't committed to winning is based on the outcome of where their emphasis on analytics has gotten the team the past two seasons. If they're truly committed to winning, we will see observable change in the way the the team is run next season.

    I fear Mahle may end up being injury prone as well. The fact the Twins still made the deal for him knowing he was damaged is still quite infuriating. Hopefully he can give them 30 starts next season and 150+ innings. Ober should definitely get a shot at a rotation spot.

    For example, if your bullpen is unreliable, why consistently pull starters who are cruising after 5 innings to give your unreliable bullpen more opportunities to implode? I don't care what analytics say about the third time through the order, at least give them a chance to get some extra outs. It's things like that that I find so frustrating, especially when you see Terry Francona let his guys pitch into the 7th and 8th inning on a frequent basis.

    I think common sense says when my plan doesn't work, I should change the plan, not keep executing the plan which leads to failure. I think had there been adjustments made early in the season they wouldn't be in the position they are in now.

    As Gleeman and the Geek said in their podcast yesterday: it's Arraez, Correa, Urshela and the St. Paul Saints lineup.
  12. rwilfong86
    What the team needs is a front office and management staff that doesn't sell it's soul to analytics at the expense of common sense.

    Let's take a look at Rocco's managerial results. In 2019 the Twins were successful because they had a handful of players overperform and have career years, e.g. Garver, Kepler, Rosario on their way to the homerun record then were swept in the playoffs. 2020 was the Covid year, if the season would have been 2 more games they wouldn't have won the division, then again were swept in the playoffs by an Astros team that was under .500 for that short season. 2021 revealed Rocco’s incompetence in managing a pitching staff because the team wasn't hitting 6 homeruns a game like in 2019 and they weren't playing all of their games against the AL and NL Central like 2020. 2022 has been a combination of injuries and incompetence with a much better lineup on paper than they had in 2021. Even with the injuries, they had a chance but lost too many winnable games by pulling pitchers too early to see the bullpen get shelled and relying too much on pitchers like Pagan and Duffey in high leverage situations when they proved to be unreliable. A manager who could manage a pitching staff correctly would have this team with a 10 game division lead right now like Cleveland will probably end up with. I am guessing next season will be 2021-2022 Part 3. But the bright side is they can't add to their playoff losing streak if they don't make the playoffs.

    Maybe the Yomiuri Giants of the NPB could use him?
  15. rwilfong86
    Apparently not, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result, and what they're doing, in bringing Rocco back, is insanity. The last 2 seasons are the direct result of Rocco's management and expecting anything to be different in 2023, without a player like Correa, will be exactly the same result as the past 2 seasons: losing.

    I've heard several times on the broadcast that Luis has lengthened his swing which has killed his ability to poke the ball through holes and has led to the constant fly ball outs we see now.
  17. rwilfong86
    He had a terrible team to manage and got them to the playoffs in 2017, won manager of the year and then got the short end of the stick after 2018.
  18. rwilfong86
    The Twins firing Molitor for Rocco was a travesty.
  19. rwilfong86
    Injuries followed by incompetence.
  20. rwilfong86
    Disappointed by the Twins lack of commitment to winning.
  21. rwilfong86
    Since Correa is opting out, the Twins need to play him every single game now. Every inning. Get their money's worth.
  22. rwilfong86
    Leadoff walk that should have been a K comes around to score.
  23. rwilfong86
    Nice play there by Miranda
  24. rwilfong86
    Ump missed strike 3 there.
  25. rwilfong86
    Aaaand it’s tied.
