    Ridiculously bad decision by the manager. Pretty transparent fanboy writing.
  2. USAFChief
    3-3 might do it if Atlanta still has something to play for. They only have to make up one game on either KC or Detroit.

    Irvin has only appeared in 3 games as a Twin. Which of "at least 2" were fine? The one hitter he got out in his first appearance? OK That leaves us with 4 hits and a run in his second appearance, or yesterday's disaster. He now has a loss, and a 16.88 ERA as a Twin. It'd be great if you could at least argue from a factual basis once in a while instead of just inventing things to suit your position.

    I have always laughed at Fangraphs' "playoff odds," and I still am. They're a joke. I mean, a 0.5% chance less than 2 months ago? But the worst: 4 teams competing for 2 spots, but THREE have a better than 50/50 chance to get one of those 2 spots?? How can three be favorites for two spots?

    So the manager had no impact on the game? The results were written in stone before the first pitch was thrown? There was no possible path to victory, even with a 2 run lead bottom 5? Absolutely nothing could have been done differently?

    -Leave in Matthews for one more hitter. -Sands, who has been great all year. -Varland, the secret weapon. -Thielbar, who has been the guy you've given this job to all year, for some reason. --But not the waiver wire pickup. And CERTAINLY not for another inning so he can hand a **** sandwich to Sands. Honestly, is there NOTHING a manager can be held responsible for? -

    You don't actually watch the games, do you? The Twins led 2-0 (with 1 on, 2 out) in the 5th when Rocco summoned Irvin.
  9. USAFChief
    He had the entire bullpen available except Headrick and possibly Blewitt. Saturday was a rainout so the entire pen had a day off, with a scheduled day off on Monday. Only Headrick and Blewett (7 pitches) threw in game 1.
  10. USAFChief
    Rocco looked no farther than "there's a LH hitter due up. My laptop says LH pitcher here."
  11. USAFChief
    With pretty much the entire pen available, that's the guy Rocco turns to. Who not only turns 1 on, 2 out, 2 run lead into a 1 run deficit, Rocco brings him back out in the 6th to start another rally.
  12. USAFChief
    I would like someone to defend turning your season over to Irwin, in the 5th. We need a MLB manager.
  13. USAFChief
    Can I blame him for putting a 2-0 lead, with the season crumbling, in the hands of a waiver wire pickup and then bringing that stiff back out to start yet ANOTHER RALLY? Or isn't that on Rocco either?
  14. USAFChief
    I won't even question removing Matthews. I mean, it's questionable, but I understand it. But Irvin? There is absolutely ZERO defense for that. It's ******** idiotic. It's jaw-droppingly stupid. HE HAS THE ENTIRE GD BULLPEN. "Hey, let's put in the waiver wire guy. Who, if he doesn't get this LHer, has to pitch to 3 hitters." Somebody please take a shot at defending that. EDIT: And then let him start the next inning and get ANOTHER rally going. Go away, Baldelli. Braindead.
  15. USAFChief
    Talk about "Rocco'd." Your season is on the line, with a pretty much full bullpen, and you turn to ... the recent waiver wire acquisition. I'm sure somebody is going to tell me, yet again, that managers don't have much effect on outcomes in MLB.
  16. USAFChief
    HEY HEY...a hit to the OF that scores a runner from second!!
  17. USAFChief
    Matthews has a lot to work on, but SWR isn't even in Matthews class as a pitcher.
  18. USAFChief
    I'm sorry you feel that way.
  19. USAFChief
    Kyle Farmer had a hit a couple games ago, so ignore 6 months of suck, ignore the platoon advantage all of a sudden, and play Kyle.
  20. USAFChief
    Hell of an AB Buxton. Tough. Professional. You almost fouled off one of those sliders bouncing in the LH batters box.
  21. USAFChief
    Yoshida hasn't pulled a ground ball this entire series, yet the Twins still play the max shift. Lucky that one went to the 3rd baseman.
  22. USAFChief
    Are there even 10 people watching this?
  23. USAFChief
    If the Twins fall in a forest, and there's nobody paying attention, do they still make choking noises?
  24. USAFChief
    Way to show up, Rocco
  25. USAFChief
    In MLB, the magic number is 5. Score 5 runs, you win more than you lose. The Twins have scored 5 or more runs 4 times in September, not counting today's first game. Four.
