  1. I've been done for 2 years-ish now with Rocco. No team out there covets Rocco as a manager. They secretly root for us to keep him as long as possible.
  2. We should all approach life with the same passion and grit that Maeda is putting into that pitch in the picture :) Oh, and take a look at his elbow in that picture.... surprising that any pitchers make it through the season with their pitching elbow intact!
  3. This needs to be the disclaimer best answer for any roster post followed by a more nuanced discussion because the FO clearly will not to that this season :)
  4. Doesn't it always seem to come down to if they can learn to hit an MLB level breaking ball? That being said, I couldn't be more excited in the present. (And he looks like he is right out of central casting for an MLB star in a movie :)
  5. Royce F-ing Lewis! Kudos to Seth... he never lost faith in Royce for one second and boy he was sure right!
  6. 43%... Good Lord.... The FO has no shame on this issue.
  7. Guilty as charged, When he had his rough season in the minors with a sky high SO/BB ratio, I was quite vocal about my concerns. While he is not going to continue to hit 3 GS every 8 days, I think we've seen enough to know that he will be a very good baseball player and leader. Now if he demonstrates the abilities to rapidly make adjustments to inevitable pitcher adjustments, he will be special
  8. So clearly Kirilloff is not staying is AAA to shake the rust off.... he's ki-ri-lling it. And AAA baseball isn't safer than MLB on a shoulder. And Gallo can barely touch a baseball with his bat. So.... about that explanation FO/Rocco.... come again? Ego and Borras say what?!
  9. "He's un-rosterable at this point." Not just at this point, but really ANY point throughout the season!
  10. My Ohl my,... we may have just found a diamond pitcher in rough!
  11. I've made it to the acceptance phase finally that Buck is done as an elite athlete. This is a chronic progressive problem (probably cartilage damage with ongoing degenerative process as pointed out by someone who certainly sounds like and orthopedic surgeon above) It looks like some of you are still in the denial, anger, and bargaining stage which is perfectly understandable and OK. It sucks. I do wonder how many second opinions the Twins got before signing the long term contract though. 100mil is obviously not a good deal for someone who cannot play....
  12. Well, at least we can all be thankful that Rocco got both of the FO's pet projects into the lineup today for their token strike outs! Gallo and Luplow.... you keep doing you... the Rocco and the FO are sooooo proud of you!
  13. Let. All. The. Kids. Play! Youth has been the spark plug. Even when they don't perform well, they are infinitely more entertaining than some of the veterans clogging up the roster!
  14. If the Twins 'need' Luplow for anything... we are in deep trouble :)
  15. "That would however leave the Twins lacking for a quality RH outfield bat" Thats OK... they are already lacking a quality RH outfield bat with Luplow on the roster... And at least with him off the roster, it will remove the temptation for Rocco to inexplicably use him #3 in the batting order.
  16. Great win. Lewis a star in the making. Dallas a veteran presence. BUT..... For the love of all baseball, Luplow should NEVER be the 3-hitter anywhere except maybe a beer league. There is no amount of gaslighting 'sabermetrics' that can justify that decision. Psst Rocco, repeat after me... 'I will never write Luplow's name anywhere above 6th in the order for the rest of the season and will ignore any nonsensical output on my spreadsheets that suggests I should place him higher if it ever happens again... " Good chat...
  17. Is this kid a legit prospect? Anybody have a little scouting report on him to share?
  18. Looks like Dobnak needed a large glass of Honey Nut Berrios after that start. I look forward to Martin as our starting CF next year! Lee is starting to figure out AAA already.... kid is a quick learn!
  19. Was keeping Gallo on the team a handshake deal with Borras to get Correa to sign? Did Gallo perform a Jedi mind trick on the Twins FO? Did someone come back from the future to tell the FO office that the entire fate of the world depended on them keeping Gallo on the team? At this point, it is all on the table... except of course... because he makes this team better....
