    Exactly. Kind of like how it took MLV.tv 4-5 years just to get to Hi Def TV. Prob get to 4K by 2030 or so. The problem is that Amazon is jumping up and down screaming We Want In! and we have Billions of $$$ to spend to get into streaming MLB! They already stream some games, some NFl, WNBA and other sports….and did I say they have $$$Billions to spend? Twins should have been the FIRST to jump to all-Amazon. I bet they would have got a bonus and all of our payroll limits could have vanished (presuming the Pohlads don’t pocket it all)!

    There is no getting around it. This team has QUIT. Given up. Tanked. Not even trying. And, yeah, Rocco's game decisions are not helping....but he isn't out on the field...the players are and they have completely DONE with this season. I keep wondering how this happened? What are these players thinking? Here's some possibilities: "Hey, all I gotta do is claim bi-lateral leg weakness for a season or two and I will get a statue outside of the stadium!" "Heck, they traded for TREVOR RICHARDS at the deadline! Come on guys, jump on the bandwagon . . . we're gonna win the division now!" "Geez, is this 5th-grade T-ball where everyone gets a chance to bat? What's going on? I can't get more than three innings into a game before the coach subs me out for some lump batting 0.211. Why bother." "Come on, guys, hurry this up! I got a plate of Extra Hot Wings waiting for me at Runyons!" Submit your best suggestions.

    Rocco is NOT the head coach to be their best friend. But, again, I repeat: it’s very hard to be consistent when the coaching is so inconsistent!

    We all seem to agree that saying “the players are exhausted” is an inane, indefensible comment by Rocco because these are highly paid professional athletes. One wonders why Rocco would offer such an excuse for their poor play? It doesn’t offer cover for the athletes—it throws them under the bus. It doesn’t offer cover for himself—he’s responsible for their preparation. it doesn’t offer cover for the Front Office—they chose these athletes. I can’t understand where Rocco is coming from with this comment. Could it have been a slip up out of exasperation or frustration? Could it have been truthful? Could it have been directed at the FO (an indictment against the pure analytics-driven approach)? I am open to suggestions but I lean towards its truthful. If so, now what? I say truth because we completely wore out several pitchers from overuse leading to injury. We have bounced players from position to position confounding their preparation. We have many stars on the bench. Its hard to ask for consistency when the coaching is so inconsistent!

    This is Rocco's doing. PERIOD.

    This is what you get when the Front Office doesn’t give a damn if you win or lose…

    I’ve said this a gazillion times…. it’s really hard to admit, but at some point you have to put the old tired horse out to pasture. She’s done a great job for a lot of years but there is just no more game left in her. It’s time to move on from Farmer. He’s no longer capable of playing this game. Period. The bigger problem is the inane inability of this team to admit it was wrong. Sure it’s easy to dump Okert or Jay Jackson. They were really quite bad but they were cheap. The problem here is that Farmer hoodwinked the Twins out of a lot of money in Free Agency. The Twins nearly doubled his salary without a track record to justify the raise. Dumping him now just makes the front office look stupid. well ….???

    Big day for any pitcher but the hot seat belongs to the HITTERS! One run yesterday is just confounding. What happens to the hitters when facing good SP? They just get flummoxed! Sure, I get it, they are harder to hit but it seems like they just start flailing at anything trying to get a hit. They lose all patience and pitch recognition. So yeah, Festa could do an SWR and hold CLE to 2 runs and we end up with….???? GO TWINS!!!!
