    Now we’re cookin

    Are we not able to delete posts anymore

    I’ve wondered about this too. I think guys in the older days were more willing to play through stuff. So many more dollars at stake now, everyone is overly cautious.
  4. Aggies7
    Yes I forgot kiriloff. Moreso speaking about big piece injuries.
  5. Aggies7
    It’s sometimes torturous to be a fan of this team. Two injuries nary a week in
  6. Aggies7
    Not ideal in the least bit
  7. Aggies7
    Zero command from Gray

    Nick Gordon > Byron

    Well done
  10. Aggies7
    Well Joe Ryan looked good, anyway
  11. Aggies7
    That’s one word to use. I was thinking more along the lines of ****ing misery

    You’ve gotta be bleeping kidding me

    To be fair, many starters aren’t even given the chance. Managers are terrified of that third time around the order. Any baserunners from the fifth inning on give managers panic attacks for most of their starters. I wonder how many starters have the mentality of “I just need to go 5”?
  14. Aggies7
    this right here. and this is why the "it's ok for starters to go only 5 innings" thing needs to end for most teams. how many teams can actually stack their bullpens with enough quality arms to consistently fill 4 (or more) innings on a regular basis? can the twins? my bet is NO. I don't know how you fix it because nowadays pitchers at all levels have pitch counts engrained into their heads from little league.
  15. Aggies7
    Very unpredictable, you’re right.

    i was wrong to say they "haven't" had good bullpens under rocco. problem is there is exactly one reliever left from 2019 (duffey), and 3 from 2020 (duffey, alcala and thielbar). last year was a big regression and the bullpen had the 11th most innings pitched. I simply don't think it's a sustainable model to continually get 5 or less from the starters. yes it's a baseball-wide model of doing things unfortunately, but I worry that a team like the twins will struggle as the innings mount. we just don't have enough quality arms in the bullpen IMO
  17. Aggies7
    welp then you’d better have a good bullpen if you’re going to do it (twins haven’t). Otherwise the few good guys you have get burned out or injured (Taylor last year). Implementing a system you know doesn’t suit your team isn’t the best decision IMO
  18. Aggies7
    I didn’t say it was only a Rocco thing. What other teams do is irrelevant. Our manager has been doing it since he came here. It’s unreasonable to expect 4-5 innings from the bullpen seemingly every single game, certainly not when our bullpen isn’t particularly great
  19. Aggies7
    I’m talking about continually pulling starters early, leaving a reliever in too long. A newly acquired one too. It was a 3 run game not a blowout
  20. Aggies7
    You know what they say about assuming things
  21. Aggies7
    Twins management, whether it be Rocco or the FO, manage the season like there are 500 games to be played. So many “whatever” games where losing doesn’t seem to be all that bad of an outcome. Head scratching
  22. Aggies7
    Sano finally makes contact. With the ground
  23. Aggies7
    Good, now it’s just a normal everyday embarrassing loss instead of an historic one

    Imagine explaining this to a baseball fan in 1970
