So let me get this straight....there's a clock "somewhere in each stadium" that lets managers and umps know if they have time to challenge a call, and....
THE MANAGER OF THE MINNESOTA TWINS DOESNT KNOW AHEAD OF TIME WHERE THAT CLOCK IS??!?
That's either a bald faced lie, or an admission that Rocco and his staff are woefully unprepared to do their job. And further, don't take their job seriously.
How is it possible he doesn't know that piece of "grounds rules" information? In ANY stadium, much less a division rival where the Twins play 8 or 9 times a year? Did KC recently move this clock? And if so, how is that any excuse?
This may sound trivial to some of you, but I do not concur. If true--and why would he lie to us about it--it's an incredibly damning indication he doesn't give his job anywhere near the attention it deserves.
What else isn't important enough for him to care about?
For the record, it also seems impossible to believe that after Friday night's game, he doesn't know what the plan is for Saturdays pitching. No injury, nothing unusually short about Happ's start, no unusual reliever usage. Nothing. But he has no idea who's pitching THE NEXT DAY?
