    Is there also a Levine thread coming? Or is this a combined "front office" thread? Honest question. For one thing, I don't know where Falvey's job ends and Levine's begins. It'd be a lot easier to discuss if someone could explain that to me.

    The value of the franchise hasn't grown by a billion dollars. It's grown by almost a billion and a half. Bought for $44 M. 2024 Forbes estimate $1.48 B.

    Not much work involved in that job.

    Your "crew" could just admit you were wrong. But no. And BTW, yeah, there's more blame to go around. That doesn't excuse Rocco.

    Are the Twins a team that plays the game well? Executes sound baseball strategies? Gets the most from their talent? Forces the other team into unfavorable matchups rather than the reverse? Plays players at defensive positions they're suited for? Give them offensive roles and try hard to keep them there? These are all big picture managerial issues. And the Twins suck at all of them. They "suddenly stopped hitting?" They were the only team to lose a starter? And that's the story of this team? You're missing a lot.

    I'll lay 2-1 Margot leads off and Farmer is at 2nd base tonight, even with the season over and neither will be a 2025 Twin. Anyone?

    Focusing on the severely underperforming players failures WON'T turn this site into a "cesspool?" This team needs a MLB manager. That seems as obvious as the sun rising tomorrow. There are personnel issues, to be sure, but without a manager none of that will ever result in good baseball.
  8. USAFChief
    And some of y'all must be embarrassed holding to the preposterous position that a MLB manager doesn't have time to prevent a reliever from caughing up a 4 run lead. Which is just one example of ya'll shouting down anyone who dares question whether manager can impact wins and losses.

    Martin also, once again, failed to score from second on a hit to the OF (Larnach). That's the second time just this week. Effectively they were 1 for 19 with RISP rather than 2 for 19.

    Why must there be a metric? Not everything that can be measured matters. And not everything that matters can be measured.

    A fitting epitaph tonight on a really, really bad trade.
  12. USAFChief
    It's almost like a manager gets the performance he accepts.
  13. USAFChief
    How is this related to managerial decisions?
  14. USAFChief
    Yeah, it killed the Cleveland pen.

    IMO this season turned as Rocco watched Alcala turn a 4-0 lead into a 4-5 deficit on an August Sunday afternoon. I've been told there was nothing the manager could do about that...it all just happened too fast. I call BS. BS then, still BS today. Witness: in tonight's game, Carlos Correa leads off the 6th with a HR. Miami's manager activates the pen. Has the pitching coach amble out and stall at the mound. Ambles back to the dugout. The pen WAS NOT active until the HR, as called out by Provus. Larnach is the next Twins hitter. On the second pitch, he gets an infield single. Miami manager waits the extra 20 seconds between hitters...and then ambles out to make a pitching change. It took a total of 2 pitches to activate the pen, and get a relief pitcher in the game. Two. Pitches. And a little legal stalling. Now tell me again how Baldelli sat through 7 hitters, 5 runs, including 2 HRs, a 3 minute wait while they searched for Wallner's glove, and DIDNT HAVE TIME to make a change anywhere in there.

    Some of us happen to think results matter.

    Someone tell me why Martin is in this game.

    Someone tell me why Martin is in this game.
  19. USAFChief
    Every player in baseball gets doubled off there.
  20. USAFChief
    HOW THE **** does Martin fail to score on a hit to medium deep center field??? Just bah-ruh-tull. Incomprehensible.
  21. USAFChief
    Uffda. Great start, Simeon. Edit: and getting better. Three zip.
  22. USAFChief
    I mostly agree. And I've never said they shouldn't have dealt Polanco. What I have said from the day the trade was announced was, "terrible trade. Made the Twins worse." And it did.
  23. USAFChief
    Pretty clear what Correa was saying. "Some of us were out here taking BP. Some weren't." That's a shot at some teammates, and a direct shot at Rocco.
  24. USAFChief
    You mean the guy Rocco turned to with a 2 run lead in a game they desperately needed? That guy??
  25. USAFChief
    Polanco has stunk. Pretty badly. 654 OPS. The Twins have gotten a 644 OPS from 2nd base this year.
