    He can't ramp up from pitching into the 5th with 66 pitches to pitching into the 6th with maybe 80 pitches? Then he shouldn't have been activated. The situation DEMANDED he at least start the 6th. Rocco managed to burn his entire trusted relief corps Thursday, double header today, realistically need at least 4 of 5. I don't blame that on anyone but Rocco. Maybe he's just a front office errand boy, and maybe he isn't, but he needs to be a big league manager in that situation and manage.

    Nice post.

    Pretty accurate headline. Tonight's debacle pretty clearly defined the season. Early lead, feels tenuous, offense hibernates, Rocco decides his starter's arm is about to fall off, somebody pulls up lame, mix in an untimely error, ill advised throw or baserunning gaffe, bullpen implodes in the most egregious manner possible. Game over, put one in the L column that really didn't need to be there. Lather, rinse, repeat. I'm so done with Baldelli. It's not all his fault, but I want someone to blame.

    Is Celestino pulling a 4 bottom plow, or 6?
  6. USAFChief
    BP gave up 5 hits and a walk, and 4 runs in the last 2 innings.

    Seems somehow fitting if the Twins season ends on a blown 3-0 lead with the winning run scoring from SECOND on a wild pitch. From your best reliever.
  8. USAFChief
    More like the middle of the end, close to the end of the end.

    If you're going to use Duran, why would he not enter when Jax did? Rally in progress, top of the order about to come up?
  10. USAFChief
    I acknowledge the error, and still place the entire blame for that inning on some absolutely pathetic pitching, particularly from Jax.
  11. USAFChief
    Heh. It's like nobody ever told a Twins pitcher not to give something to hit on 0-2.
  12. USAFChief
    Play of the game from Sanchez on strike 3 to Taylor.
  13. USAFChief
    Uh, that's Buttermaker.

    To paraphrase Yogi Bear, it gets middle early these days.

    You don't say!
  22. USAFChief
    True enough.

    I call him a bust because to date, that's what he is. He has 336 MiLB games, almost 1500 PA, of .760 OPS, with sub .700 seasons at A+ and AA. Dropped out of most prospect lists. Questions about SS. Got hurt. He had a nice start in St Paul, and a hot couple weeks with the Twins. I hope he comes back and tears it up. But he was drafted in 2017, and has done little. To date, a bust. And to the article, it's hard to say his loss was in any way devastating. He wasn't even on the MLB roster until injury required it.
  24. USAFChief
    We should be so lucky.

    Explain to me the difference in "managing by analytics" and "managing by computer." If you agree Rocco is just doing what the computer, via the front office, says to do, you can't then turn around and deny he's "managing by computer." You can LIKE that. You can agree with it. Fine. Claim another manager won't make a difference, fair. But you can't then also claim others are wrong about what it is the manager is doing. Either he's just implementing FO analytics, or he isn't. And not liking that operating methodology has just as much validity as liking it.
