    Who? We don't have enough relievers that can consistently get through ONE inning. In any case, unless you're advocating for new management, top to bottom, it ain't happening. They've had half a decade to demonstrate some other bullpen system, but they're tied to a short relief system. Like pretty much all baseball.

    Short starts and a 6 man rotation just means one less bullpen arm to cover those innings. A 6 man rotation puts stress ON the pen, rather than lessens it. Edit: already discussed. But "more long men" isn't realistic either. That just puts MORE stress on the pen. There are virtually zero Twins games that require fewer than 3 pitchers and generally 4 or more. That ain't changing. You can't do that with a 5 man pen.

    I'm ok with the Twins letting Rosario go, but How is a .693 OPS an 87 OPS+ While A .691 OPS is a 93 OPS+ Over the same time period.

    He started a huge inning for Detroit the other day with another botched easy play that was ruled a "hit." His bat plays, but man, he's Nishioka level bad with the glove. Worse maybe.

    Haha. Is this a joke? It was literally hit right at him. Yeah, hit hard, but That play is made 99 times out of 100 by a MLB second baseman. Embarrassingly bad. And MLB score keeping has lost any self respect.

    Put me officially in the "different manager" camp. Too much bad baseball. Lack of hustle. Poor decision making. Bad baserunning. Etc etc. I'm not sure how anyone can watch this team and NOT blame the manager for much of what they see. Rocco can't hit or pitch. Nor can he catch or throw for his players. But it's literally his job to get his players to play properly. To prepare them. To decide who plays, and when. To ensure his team executes. Hustles. Works on hitting and defending. Throws to the proper place, is in position for cutoffs. And by gosh, has some mental fortitude. His teams are bad at ALL of that. If not at least primarily his fault, who? That all falls within his job description: Turning a collection of individuals into a team that gets more from their talents, rather than less.

    I have a bad feeling we've seen the last of "above .500 Twins" for 2023.

    Say hi to Mr Drucker.

    Boston literally pinch hit Refsnyder for Duran the hitter before. 3 for 3 Duran. I'm very done with Baldelli but let's at least be fair.

    The 0-2 pitch to Verdugo was 1 million times worse.
  11. USAFChief
    Good God we throw some ******* 0-2 pitches

    SUMMERFEST!

    At my age, I kind of hate to count on there being a next time. My doc's last piece of medical advice was "don't buy any green bananas."
  14. USAFChief
    No. Who is ON first.
  15. USAFChief
    VAZQUEZ!! As expected. Edit: ninja'd. By snydes, no less. I'm so disappointed in me

    I haven't called for either to be in the lineup against lefties, but that's beside the point. No matter who is in, they need to play better baseball. Consistently. And I blame the manager for large scale subpar performance. Inattention. Lack of awareness. Poor decision making. Lack of hustle. Low levels of intestinal fortitude. Too many "owies" and too much time off.

    I get allergic smelling hay.

    2 out walk, Julien has time to make a better throw to 3rd but doesn't, Farmer has to catch that throw, but couldn't be bothered. Kirillof turns a single into a double with disinterest. Bad baseball continues, and nobody ever wants to look at the manager. Now a hitter jogs to 1st and would have been safe had he busted it. You get the performance management allows, in any industry/endeavor.

    Umps ruled he was entitled to the next base on overthrow, which they determined to be 3rd since he wasn't there yet when ball went out of play.
  20. USAFChief
    This is a joke, right?
  21. USAFChief
    Sorcery?? That's 4 already this month.
  22. USAFChief
    Yeah well, you know, that's like, just your opinion man.
