Agreed, either he was going to be fired with the GM or by the GM but either way, he was going to be fired. it was Falvey’s job saved one more year by the “Pohlad Pivot”- 39 replies

The Twins were an advanced team, scouting and documenting well ahead of their peers. Point in time, just like the dinosaurs, they found their competitive advantage, capitalized on it, then were their own demise by failing to adapt to a different climate. the key is “were”. Historic. Dinosaurs were apex until they weren’t. The Twins were on the brink of extinction and modernized, but are again on the brink of extinction and need to adapt again. thus, the Lean ideology vs Six Sigma. Continuous improvement, incremental gains over time to adapt seemly vs the kaizen event.

Dougie Baseball would be the worst possible MLB manager in modern baseball in the last 30 years by a wide margin.

It was reported in June. We don’t know when the contract was signed, may have been the offseason.

Good luck to Rocco in his future endeavors. He’s reputedly a good person, and I thought he was mostly a good but not great manager. however, it was time. There was no coming back from this circus of a season.

I left my post ambiguous on purpose. It could be optimistic that the Twins record in 2026 will be better than 2025. They can’t win 75 this year. it could be sarcasm that I think you’re a Debbie Downer The choice is yours

I very much prefer to watch aggressive base stealing than the plodding station to station.

No, it just didn’t help very much, did it? In the risk vs reward judgement, high risk low reward, usually means it shouldn’t be a strategy to rely on. akin to “my retirement plan is winning the lottery”

No way! TC would totally go feral on the Phanatic. The real question is scoop up the Phanatic bits out of TC’s poop, or mop up the puddle with a bucket

I had a noon meeting too. Even with lunch provided they suck

If the Twins were looking to compete in the next 1-2 years, would they have gutted 40% of the roster for Jack-squat?

They tanked last year, and year before, not eligible for the lotto edit: ninja’d

Most relievers do

Desperately searching for a silver lining… Hatch as a reliever looks like a decent major league pitcher. that’s all I got, and it’s pretty pathetic
