    Rocco once again trying to show he is the smartest manager in baseball.

    Finding value with one or two guys maybe. But they have 7 pitchers over 30, Topa and Ober are the only two that are reasonable to carry on the roster. If you go thru the fire sale you need to find out about the development of your players. This is why there is no plan, it is all about throwing at a dartboard and hope something sticks.

    What a throw by Gasper, now I see why he is behind the plate.

    Roster size is only increased by 2 in September. Now is the time to see them. SWR and Festa will need starts when they come back.

    He is the Royals announcer, Ryan Lefebvre. He started broadcasting with the Twins.
  6. karcherd
    He is actually the bulk, because the Twins are going to be the leaders of changing pitching roles, because they are the smartest men in baseball. It won't produce wins, but they will change it up.

    I thought they traded for a couple of pitchers that had major league experience. You would think that with all the injuries that maybe they would be a better option then a 30 something on his forth team this year. How Falvey still has his job even with the limbo of the team being for sale is unbelievable. There is no plan unlike what he tried to sell in his letter.

    Pereda was signed to AAA three weeks ago. Are the signs that much different. If he can't play then why is he even up here then. Clemens has never caught a game in the major leagues, every team has a guy they designate as the emergency catcher, key word emergency. I am not sure why he would even be a consideration to start a game.

    I am not sure that you couldn't roll with Martin for a game or two if needed. If Lee goes down with an injury then you call up Fitzgerald. I would rather have 13 guys on the roster that are going to be used than 11.

    I have seen him behind the plate and he missed a pitch and almost broke the umpire's arm. I have seen this at the youth level but not in the major leagues. And it was not a mix up of the signs, he just missed catching the pitch.

    If they are not comfortable with a third string catcher then send him down. It only happens once or twice a year in all of baseball that you need a third catcher.
  12. karcherd
    But he does have options to play other than Gasper, so some of this is on him.
  13. karcherd
    What is this obsession with Gasper. In no world should he be playing all 3 games of a series much less catching. Why even call up Pereda if you aren't going to play him. This roster mismanagement is so frustrating, at least play guys who might be on the roster next year.
  14. karcherd
    Gasper utilized the one skill he possesses, good for him.
  15. karcherd
    Pereda is the 3rd catcher according to Rocco last night. Which I don't understand why he would be here then.
  16. karcherd
    I don't hate Gasper, it is more a reflection of Falvey that he is on the roster. According to the broadcast last night, Rocco said that Gasper is the backup catcher. So why call up Pereda if that is the case, that is roster mismanagement. Tonight you have 3 options to play 1B, Clemens is in the outfield, so it is either Julien or Gasper. Julien has a better chance to be on the team next year, that should be the criteria for playing time for this year. Gasper can not hit major league pitching.
  17. karcherd
    Neither of them can play first adequately, they both have gloves of stone. And Gasper can't play catcher either.
  18. karcherd
    Julien has a higher chance than Gasper of being on the team next year. It may be low but I would still rather see him than Gasper if that is the options. Gasper has no business being in the major leagues.
  19. karcherd
    Did I seriously hear Provus correctly and Gasper is the number 2 catcher. So then explain why is Pereda up here, why not call up another bat or Eeles. What is the plan for this team by the front office. Gasper shouldn't even be up here and he certainly shouldn't be catching. So now we have two catchers who can't hit.
  20. karcherd
    Remember it was the same reporting on Buxton before he went on the IL. I hope I am wrong but I just don't know what to believe when Rocco says anything.
  21. karcherd
    I hope so, but I have a feeling he will wind up on the IL after the Royals series. This is kind of how they operate.
  22. karcherd
    Rocco said pre game he still can't do all baseball activities. He needs to be 100%. Rocco did his usual word salad as to when to expect him. My guess would be it could be another week.
  23. karcherd
    At least Provus explained why Gasper is in the lineup. But it stills shows Rocco's overreliance on analytics. He wanted more lefties in against Lugo. That works as long as you have all quality LH hitters, Gasper is not it. And Martin is a better option despite the side of the plate he hits from. Kind of says all you need to know about where the team is right now but Gasper should only be in there when everyone is injured.
  24. karcherd
    I am not sure Roden is any better, he has only played a handful of games there in the minors. But I agree we need Buxton out there.
  25. karcherd
    Why is Gasper DH when you can put Martin in the outfield and DH Wallner.
