  1. This team's quit on the manager. The lifeless faces in the dugout are a giant flashing neon sign. If Rocco's back, we might as well hop in a time machine and go back to the 2021 season.
  2. Correa giving Rocco the death stare in that picture is gold.
  3. Rocco with the big FU using Irvin. SMH.
  4. Popkins! He would not get another job at the major league level. His biggest contribution was finding a summer sausage. The moment the season ends, he needs to go.
  5. They're being paid to bite their tongue.
  6. How many 'worst' losses of the season have the Twins had since August 1st?
  7. Royce has been a huge disappointment this season.
  8. If he's legitimately that slow, he needs to quit playing baseball.
  9. This team is so mentally weak. There's no fight. They fold like a cheap suit.
  10. If the Twins had a manager, he'd sit him down the rest of the season.
  11. Rocco's been around since 2019. This isn't his first season. 2021 was a disaster. They collapsed down the stretch in 2022. They had an even worse collapse in 2024. No one is blaming Rocco for every loss this season. That's moving the goal posts. What people are blaming Rocco for, and rightfully so, is a team that fails to execute and has shown an uncanny knack for losing games at the margins. Take a look at the Mets in 2024 and compare them to the team in 2023. Take a look at the Guardians. Managers matter. Good ones can absolutely make a difference as can mediocre ones.
  12. This is what I find interesting. In the NFL, when a coach is on the hot seat, do people say, well he can't throw touchdowns for them or he can't play defense for them. In the NBA, is it, well, the coach can't make jump shots for them. In the NHL, is it, well, the coach can't score goals for them. When players fail on the field, the buck stops with managers and coaches. Otherwise, coaches and managers would rarely get fired.
  13. Are there still questions about this?
  14. Let us not forget the collapse in 2022. Oh, but so many injuries! Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice...
  15. Closed door or players' only meetings usually come with a bit of fanfare and media hype. Remember when the Twins had one in April? IIRC, they had one last season after they got swept in Atlanta. Notice how there wasn't one in August or September? Season completely going off the rails and no one felt the need to stand up and try to patch it together. The players know what they have in the dugout. They're done.
  16. After that collapse in Texas - about 6 weeks ago now - I knew what was coming. It's been a total collapse since that point and it begins and ends with the manager.
  17. This team quit on its manager a while ago. This is their send off to Rocco.
  18. See ya, Rocco. Popkins. Maki. Watkins. Falvey. Lavine. Can't fire the owners unfortunately. But these guys are just as much to blame for this. A disgrace.
  19. Has anyone in the media ever asked Rocco about his Margot obsession?
  20. Anyone still want to bring Popkins back?
