    Runs count the same in the 5th and 9th inning... if you blow up the 5th and 6th inning, there is no competitive 8th and 9th inning.... and you CRUSH the moral of your line up and defense. Do you think it feels different playing ahead by a run versus down by 6? Don't ignore the actual problem in front of you because of a concern about a hypothetical problem in the future And that's why using firemen in key high leverage situations will continue to be a strategy used by successful managers for important games. We literally used a reliver cast off a playoff team that new better in one of the most important... if not THE most important games of the season. This is not complicated... it was a ridiculous decision.

    Even if you believe this. (which to each their own I guess)... why did he come out to start the next inning again?

    "But baseball is a game of execution and sound decision making, and Irvin’s use in that game and predicable inability to throw strikes cost the Twins dearly." Fixed that for you!

    "burning one of your top bullpen arms that early in a game with so much baseball left to play is rarely ideal." In July yes... in a must win game at the end of September with a completely rested bullpen and an off day pending... ABSOLUTELY NOT. (and this isn't even taking into account to possibility of leaving Zebby in) Using a better relief pitcher earlier in a game during a perceived high leverage situation even has a name (Fireman). Sorry, no amount of mental gymnastics is going the make this anything other than managerial malpractice. It is such flagrant managerial malpractice that the Twins fans probably have grounds for a class action lawsuit... I kid (I think).... And don't even get me started on the bizarre Margot pinch hitting obsession (the definition of insanity is... well you know...) much less how many ABs he has accumulated this year

    So when do you think it is OK to fire a manager?
  7. D.C Twins
    This... this....aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand.......THIS!
  8. D.C Twins
    So... we don't need a manager?
  9. D.C Twins
    So when exactly is it OK to judge MLB coaching in your world?

    Rocco committed managerial malpractice in this game with his use of a rested bullpen in a must win game. It is long past time to try someone new and the Rocco apologists shouldn't mind because they seem to think that managing really doesn't matter much...

    Rocco committed managerial malpractice in the second game of the double header. A must win game with all his best bullpen arms rested and he allowed his worst bullpen pitcher to blow up the game. For all the Rocco apologists that say that the manager doesn't really matter or impact the outcome much.... GREAT... you won't mind indulging the rest of us who have long ago become frustrated with trying a new manager than is an actual leader with an understanding of the art of baseball.
  12. D.C Twins
    Rocco is officially a comically bad manager. Whole bullpen available for a must win second game of a double header and allows the worst pitcher in the bullpen to blow up the game

    Same headline coming for the game 2 Twins recap?!
  14. D.C Twins
    I don't know man... The 'Great Lake Pontooners' is pretty good!
  15. D.C Twins
    Well written... thank you!
  16. D.C Twins
    This... This...aaaaaaaaaand.... THIS!
  17. D.C Twins
    Actually, Lopez and Ober together give us the chance..... if we make it..... and that 'if' seems to getting bigger by the day ...
  18. D.C Twins
    Nothing screams contender like Henriquez and Tonkin in high leverage situations. We definitely got the bullpen we paid for though....
  19. D.C Twins
    This didn't age well....
  20. D.C Twins
    Wait... did the sky just stop falling in midair?!
  21. D.C Twins
    I believe this is a sign that we are solidly in the 'bargaining phase' of grief for this season
  22. D.C Twins
    I TOLD EVERYONE THAT VARLAND NEEDED TO BE IN THE BULLP.... uh... wait...what (listening to earpiece).... er...um (checking box scores)..... ah....bullpen?
  23. D.C Twins
    Yes.
  24. D.C Twins
    Quality leadership matters... and we don't got it...

    Raya = Late Inning Bullpen in MLB
