    Well, he pitched the sixth. It's certainly possible, since we know Rocco decides his reliever usage before the game starts.
  2. USAFChief
    The guy who has been our most effective reliever didn't have a role in yesterday's tie game, but here he is down by 3.

    Might have been nice for Stewart not to be on back to back outings today. Of course, nothing could have prevented that.

    If you're gonna copy and paste, maybe consider giving credit to the source.

    According to this, TK had only 5 ejections during his tenure. https://twinstrivia.com/2013/03/19/manager-ejections-by-the-numbers/

    Maybe would have been nice if Stewart wasn't on back to back outings. Of course, nothing Baldelli could have done about that. His poor hands were tied by the short start yesterday...
  7. USAFChief
    LOL. Running the Twins right out of the game.
  8. USAFChief
    Effing DO SOMETHING Rocco. JHFC I loathe this manager.
  9. USAFChief
    Once again, it's a choice made by the Twins. Ignore the runner No slide step Catcher on one knee.
  10. USAFChief
    Of course.
  11. USAFChief
    Nice catch Kiersey
  12. USAFChief
    I could have called that SB from Tucson. In fact, I did. No slide step. Catcher down on one knee
  13. USAFChief
    yes
  14. USAFChief
    Wouldn't be our first left fielder to look like they're playing on ice skates...
  15. USAFChief
    Pretty tough AB there, Mr Jeffers.
  16. USAFChief
    I'd kill to have Kwan as our left fielder.
  17. USAFChief
    His last start was 4.1 IP, 10 baserunners, 4 ER prior to that 5 IP, 8 baserunners, 2 ER
  18. USAFChief
    ACTION!
  19. USAFChief
    Then again, whatta ya gonna do against someone the caliber of Ortiz? What with the ERA almost 6 and a WHIP of 1.55. Sometimes ya just gotta tip your hat to the opponent

    Cure for insomnia

    Anyone else on TwinsTV? For a little while, it had the Twins up 1-0. Fake news. Alternate facts. Outright lies right on TV. Man, you can't get away from it these days.
  22. USAFChief
    Man, attendance at Progressive Field is positively Target Field-ish

    Did Rocco remove last night's starter based on a predetermined criteria or not? Did he decide, well before a pitch was thrown, that "third time through" was THE deciding factor, or didn't he? I think thats a pretty clear yes. Not effectiveness. Not fatigue. Not even pitches, or innings. Just a set criteria. If you're good with that, fine. Defend it. But the post above is just an ad hoc attack on anyone who dares have a difference of opinion on the manager. It has zero to do with the actual circumstances of last night's game, or for that matter the manager's actual performance, short or long term. For the record, nobody claimed "things would've ended up great." They scored one run. That's a problem, long and short term. What suggestions do you have to fix that? That doesn't mean we can't discuss things that are ongoing managerial weaknesses

    AI tells me the winning percentage across MLB when scoring 1 run is 14.86%. Sounds high, but that's what it says. Maybe I got "A1" results.....
  25. USAFChief
    Clearly the offense went missing. However.... Speaking only for myself, I tend to focus on things that I think were mistakes, and/or could have been avoided. There isn't much of anything I think could have been done differently last.night to knock in more runs...except, you know, to knock in more runs. I'm open to ideas there. But unlike "hit better, ferpetesakes," there were decisions made last night that I think could have/shocks have been done differently. Decisions can actually be altered. "Hit better" feels good but I don't know that it actually has any impact. So that's one possible reason some people focus on things that can change. YMMV.
