    Oh, no of course not. I meant in this specific thread 😅

    Let me be the first to say...Fire Rocco. No real rush. But anytime after now and before November.
  3. NYCTK
    Fire Rocco.

    I repeat, complaining about injuries is loser behavior. If that's what this organization is, we shouldn't be surprised how it ended up.
  5. NYCTK
    Please quote me. I'd love to see where I said that. I did say there was no true external factor that was outside the teams control. Which is hyperbolic but I stand by it. Complaining about injures is such loser behavior as if the Twins are some cursed team, the only team that happened to experience an injury throughout the season. Let's be real.
  6. NYCTK
    You know they're both pitchers and an inning counts the same regardless where you pitch, right? It's more like...cotton candy grape to sour grape.

    I forgot. The Minnesota Twins were the only team in major league baseball to experience injuries. Great point. Why the hell not? Is it better to get in a 5 nil hole? SWR needed rest. We all knew it. Even if it was two times through the order. This was no grand mystery. Try something out. That's essentially what the Tigers did. They had starting rotation depth issues. 11 different people started games for them since August 1st, most of those openers. They tried **** out and look where they are. Rocco is risk averse, as is the Twins way. It's also a great way to lose. Also, other people's criticisms are not mine, so don't assign them to me. I'm entirely consistent.

    So in all those 6 weeks, nothing could be done. Got it. Rocco was just a bystander to a runaway truck. You mention morale, that's like half his job. The clubhouse morale is low, whose job is it to try to right the ship? We all saw SWR was gassed for weeks. Try something. Throw Sands for 4 to start. Ask for Boushley for a week. Idk. Something. You guys act like he doesn't have any control over anything.

    There was no true external factor outside of the team's control. The offense sucked? Whose job is it to mix things up to try to jump start it? The bullpen stuttered? Who controls the bullpen? SWR hit a wall? Who puts him on the bump? Sorry, but this team sucked and it comes back to leadership. It wasn't bad luck. It was a bad team.
  10. NYCTK
    Have they looked like a club that's focused or fired up the last couple weeks? Did they seem united? To me, that goes to lack of leadership, and that vacuum starts with Rocco. Fair or not.
  11. NYCTK
    I think this is entirely reasonable. But it's also entirely reasonable to say that Rocco should be shown the door tonight, assuming they get knocked out. His tenure hasn't been a good one and he did seemingly completely lose the clubhouse, as well as the fans. I do think it's actually better for a fan base to have that manager as a lightning rod instead of vitroel towards players. A 50 year old is better equipped to take that criticism than a 25 year old. So it doesn't really bother me even if it is misguided.
  12. NYCTK
    It was a monkey off the back. But this idea that it was a great team is ridiculous. It was a great stepping stone. But management decided to just jump off it. People have memories of the series, but they're on par with game 163. It was a win to get into the playoffs, not really a playoff win.
  13. NYCTK
    Everyone's at fault. Nearly everyone but Jax basically.
  14. NYCTK
    Well, they aren't paid to put together a roster, and the guys that are failed miserably.
  15. NYCTK
    What does Santana have to do with the gaping hole in CF? Compare him to Margot. How'd that go?
  16. NYCTK
    Twins run like a business...a terrible, terrible business that was inherited by some moron nepo baby that doesn't understand the industry. But thanks to a legalized monopolization, they literally cannot fail.
  17. NYCTK
    Wanted to follow up on this. According to Aaron Gleeman, the Twins were projecting 2.2-2.3 million this season. This would put this about 300,000 below their projected attendance, and let's be a it kinder and say the average marginal revenue on each head is quite a bit lower, maybe $50. That's $15 million in revenue.
  18. NYCTK
    Ironically, the White Sox outdrew the Twins this week.
  19. NYCTK
    Could have been a billion more if they didn't suck ass: St Louis Cardinals - $2.55 B Not only do they run it like a business, they run it poorly.
  20. NYCTK
    He'd be a LOT harder to move. Whereas Pablo's contract isn't bad, just a pretty decent slightly below market contract that a lot of teams would happily take on, Correa's is an overpay. I don't think anyone thinks he'd get $130 mil / 4 years on the open market today.
  21. NYCTK
    Talent, period. I don't know how else they brought in Manuel Margot to play CF on a major league baseball team. And how they managed to keep him around long after they determined he couldn't play CF. I just...I don't get it. Fire them. Seriously. How they managed to completely screw the pooch on the 2 most glaring holes, 4th OF (aka starting CF) and SP, and in a way that everyone knew was obvious. They're no smarter than a random poster on this website. And that's not a compliment to any of you.
  22. NYCTK
    If everything is broke, don't try to fix it. - Rocco probably
  23. NYCTK
    The Yankees could use a 3B/2B, and the Braves could use a SS. I bet this is explored.
  24. NYCTK
    Well...a lot changed with the Mets besides just the Manager. But he's been such a good find for them. From Bench coach to Manager of the Year? I just go back to the Mets owner commitment to winning. Last season, they were only 50-55, 7 games out, when they decided it wasn't their year and sold off anything that wasn't bolted down. This season, they weren't quite convinced it's their year so they didn't sell their farm but were still able to bring in 3 bullpen arms, an OF, and a SP. Can you imagine the Twins bringing in 3 BP arms and a SP? For next to nothing!
  25. NYCTK
    Against a Toronto Blue Jays team that also didn't win 90 games. It was fun, but lets not pretend as if we beat an actual contender. The expanded playoffs have lowered some people's expectations so much.
