    If Rocco would not keep batting him in 3 or 4 spot the Twins would have scored more runs. Time after time Correa kills rallies by hitting into double plays. Rocco should be replaced or Twins will never be in playoffs.

    Waiting to see what changes happen during the next few days. With no changes the Twins are going to continue to play poorly. If the Twins stay the same then the results will stay the same and they will not be in playoffs.

    Do not understand why Buck isn't on IR and Wallner not on team. Wallner was on base 8 times in a row and they sent him down. With the lack of hitters on the team it doesn't make sense that Wallner is not on team and he may not help, but let's give him another try. Rocco has to go if Twins are going to have any chance of making playoffs. Seems like a nice guy, but just doesn't seem to be a leader and seems to have no answers on how to improve Twins. After the bad second half last year what will he change to not have a repeat this year?

    He may be a OK pitcher in some games, but he just can not pitch under pressure. His yearly salary could be used on a better pitcher. He seems to be over paid based on his performance.

    A few games ago Lopez walked 2 batters and hit 1 batter in the same inning. He seems to always have a bad inning and then gives up runs. Striking out a lot of batters usually means throwing a lot of pitches so can only pitch 5 or 6 innings and then need RP to finish game. The Twins have too much money invested in Lopez for him to be a losing pitcher.

    Not playing Lewis made no sense, but that is how Rocco manages team. Putting Buxton to pinch hit made no sense, but that is how Rocco manages team. Wonder where Twins would be with a good manager to replace Rocco?
  7. John Belinski
    Hope the Twins do not trade Wallner. Just do not understand why he isn't with the Twins. He was on base 8 times in a row before being sent down. Maybe Rocco doesn't like him, but he can hit and Twins need hitters.

    WOW Roco had batter bunt. Using Buxton is almost a wasted out until his health improves and Correa should be batting 5 or 6.

    Signing Cutch for maybe $7 million would have helped Twins more than Gallo at $10 million. Gallo was more of a gamble and had record of strikeouts. Twins front office has not helped the 2023 Twins.

    Based on Rocco's record there was no way he leaves Maeda in after coming out for visit since he always pulls pitcher after visit. Can not remember last time Rocco had batter bunt over runner inn10th inning.
  11. John Belinski
    It was a close game that the Twins could have won when they had bases loaded or not give Tigers the walk in the bad inning. The Twins have lost too many games by walking batters and most of the walks were to batters with low batting averages. The Twins batters were swinging at too many first pitches so rookie Tigers pitcher had to throw very few pitches. I think it was 8 pitches in one inning and 10 in another inning.. Will take a win today since it looks like a .500 record will win division and maybe good pitching will win in playoffs. Put Buxton on IR and call up Wallner as DH.
  12. John Belinski
    Do you really think Rocco would have left Maeda in? Do you really think Rocco calls bunt in 10th inning?
  13. John Belinski
    It is time for Lopez to pitch a good game. After signing extension of contract he just has not pitched well. He needs to start pitching better. I think in his last game he had a inning where he walked 2 batters and hit 1 batter.
  14. John Belinski
    I wonder if Rocco pulls Maeda in the fifth inning and gives the ball to RP who then loses game for Twins. I really think Rocco pulls Maeda, but since he wasn't managing we got the strike out from Maeda. Maybe Rocco can get ejected tonight and the Twins win another game with a bunt that Rocco would not call.
  15. John Belinski
    The only way that they sign him is if he becomes free agent.
  16. John Belinski
    I was really surprised when the Twins bunted in the 10th inning since Rocco doesn't have his players bunt, but then I read that Rocco wasn't the manager since he had been kicked out. The Twins won a 1 run extra inning game without Rocco and usually lose those games with Rocco. At least now the Twins know how to win those games.
  17. John Belinski
    In the third inning of the last game that Lopez pitched he walked 2 batters and hit 1 batter. Hard to believe the front office extended his contract. Just have no faith in front office.
  18. John Belinski
    The Twins knew he had a injury history, but still signed him to a big contract. I do not know who is worse our front office or our manager, but it appears we will not have a winning team until they are replaced.
  19. John Belinski
    Another great move by the Twin's front office to extend Lopez. In the third inning he walked 2 batters and hit a batter so does that sound like a pitcher we should extend? Twins have 3 starting pitchers on the IR so why extend Lopez? I am not sure if the Twins have a bad front office or a bad manager or maybe both. Not having a winning record in a weak division is really hard to accept.
  20. John Belinski
    http://It appears the Twins like to trade for pitchers that have history of injury or have injury since at least 3 starting pitchers have missed part or all of a season.
  21. John Belinski
    Don't think any Twins OF will get votes for all star team. Twins have usually has at least one good OF.
  22. John Belinski
    Give a manager good players and any manager will win easily. Give a manager average or below average players and the manager has to help the team win games. It just doesn't appear Rocco has helped players win games. Losing record in 1 run games, losing record in extra inning games and seems to have no clue on how to handle pitchers. In a weak division we are not even a .500 team. Fans can hope things get better, but without a leader this looks like another lost season.
  23. John Belinski
    LA had 5 hits last night and the Twins had a total of 7 hits. LA will probably be a very good hitter for several more years and we have a .500 pitcher at best.
  24. John Belinski
    If the Twins keep losing then, just maybe, they will look for a new leader or should I say look for a leader since Rocco is certainly not a leader.
  25. John Belinski
    From what I have read it was Rocco who really wanted him back and the others had to back the manager.
