    This is correct. Perhaps “good culture” is not overrated. But “bad culture” is not.
  2. Aggies7
    Paddack wasn’t in Detroit for a day and he was bad mouthing the organization. You don’t mention the Jax and Rocco interaction the day before he was traded. You have guys still on the team saying it’s not good. Cmon be serious here. None of these guys wish they were still with the twins. They’re on contending teams, Except varland for the obvious reason.
  3. Aggies7
    Who didn’t want to leave? Varland is the only one was seemed disappointed, probably because he’s a hometown kid. Everyone else couldn’t wait to GTFO. Duran is a celebrity in a baseball crazy city, only pitching in save situations for a team going to the playoffs. You think he’d rather be back with Rocco, inexplicably pitching mop up duty on a team going nowhere? Several of the guys have made unflattering comments, which is rare.
  4. Aggies7
    Ok well if Rocco’s teams ever win anything of note, we can revisit this
  5. Aggies7
    Culture means nothing til you have none and you trade off almost half your team

    I’m sure the dodgers would. Give me the guy who’s won the whole thing. Yes, with more talented guys. But he still had to manage the clubhouse, one with some of the highest paid players in the game and their egos.
  7. Aggies7
    I also think it’s generally accepted that people don’t ask to leave well run, happy situations. Whether that be your average business or a pro ball team. I don’t necessarily trust Correa, but didn’t mild mannered Jax also want out? Players and coaches employees that are happy with management don’t do that.
  8. Aggies7
    Understood. I think “costing 15 wins” is an outlier opinion though. I haven’t said that and I would guess few have. I have seen it often said that managers aren’t really important. Same thing said about closers 😂
  9. Aggies7
    The twins didn’t need to win 95 games last season to make the playoffs or win the division. Detroit got in with 86 wins. We needed someone to manage the players well enough to avoid the catastrophe that happened. Even this year, the AL is not strong. Even a mediocre performance would have us in the race.
  10. Aggies7
    Yes really. There was plenty of talk towards the end of last season, on this board and from players themselves, that things were not hunky dory in the clubhouse. The collapse was stunning enough to call in to question what’s happening. Isn’t that why they instituted a “new approach” coming into spring training? I mean how many guys need to want out and/or badmouth the organization? How long to ignore the smoke?
  11. Aggies7
    Has there been a single player who has left the organization in the last several years and had anything good to say about it?
  12. Aggies7
    If only posters had been saying the clubhouse stinks for a couple years. But we were shouted down as negative Nancies. Two late season collapses and whatever this disaster of a season can be described as. Tell me more about how baseball managers are essentially meaningless and anyone can do it.

    Where’s squirrel when you need her? She loves handing out bans and time outs
  14. Aggies7
    Mysteriously scarce
  15. Aggies7
    Actually prefer his alter ego Peter.
  16. Aggies7
    They think he’s a double agent
  17. Aggies7
    lol yeah she was handing out points and time outs like hot cakes over very little. Guess the losing has taken it’s toll on everyone
  18. Aggies7
    Even the mods have bailed on game threads
  19. Aggies7
    Agreed
  20. Aggies7
    99. But he’s been nearing disaster last few innings.
  21. Aggies7
    3 might be the limit for Hatch
  22. Aggies7
    Gonna block ya real soon buddy
  23. Aggies7
    Koskie could be Rocco’s brother
  24. Aggies7
    Rolling boil, 5 minutes. Sugar in the water. Good for me.

    Royce, take charge. Your ball
