Yup. It was probably music to Rocco's ears. Analytics! -
Yeah, pretty much. I did drink the Kool-Aid but I shouldn't have. Other than Duran, Jax, Stewart and Sands (maybe), would any of these bullpen arms find a ML job outside of the Twins?

Not to beat a dead horse but Popkins just seems like such low hanging fruit. His resume pre-Twins never lent itself to being a MLB team and aside from a hot streak to end 2023, the offense has been generally ineffective if not completely overmatched. But alas - if it is more of an organizational philosophy as opposed to a lack of competent coaching, we're stuck with the status quo for at least 2024 and likely longer.

Varland isn't that much of a surprise only because the rotation is razor thin and there's a good chance we'll see him starting again. Alcala is a mystery. Not sure if there's some issues with him and the coaching staff, or the performance isn't meeting expectations. I'm extremely skeptical that is the latter because if performance was a motivating factor for this team, there's a handful (if not more) of players that I'd call out before Alcala.

I've been wondering if his hands are tied - is the front office the one that wants Popkins and is pushing whatever this hitting 'philosophy' is supposed to be...
-
They have to start somewhere. They should be pissed off and ready to play. We shall see...
-
This team isn't any worse than last year's team - at least not currently. The problem is Cleveland and Kansas City are playing lights out. I keep thinking they'll fall off, but maybe they won't.
-
Players only meeting last night per ESPN. Also have Rocco for what seems like the 4th or 5th time this year come out in the media questioning the Twins' approach at the plate. I'm just dumbfounded that they haven't made a change among the trio of 'hitting coaches'.
-
Correa needs to set the tone.
-
Something has to change.
-
Just a really bad team.
-
When they forced Tingler as the bench coach, I thought Rocco was on the hot seat.
-
Correa is the only one that cares.
-
They have to do something to shake this team up.
-
This team is checked out.
-
This one's over.
-
JFC.
-
Nasty stuff from Pablo in that inning.
-
Watkins and Popkins should have been dumped after 2022.
-
Completely overmatched at the plate.
-
I'm still shocked that Cleveland is playing as well as they are. I keep waiting for them to fall back to the pack, but it might just be one of those years.
-
It's amazing - and not in a good way - how many injuries the Twins have dealt with across all levels of the organization.
-
The offense was problematic in 2022. It was problematic last year but the Twins got hot late. It's problematic again in 2024. Third time's the charm, right?
-
Pablo needs to be an ace today. The problem is, Paddack was an ace yesterday and it still wasn't enough.
