    New hitting coach please....
  2. D.C Twins
    Nope
  3. D.C Twins
    1. A new hitting coach now 2. Rationalizing Rocco need to be put on notice (see last post game news conference.....we play early...when it's cold....and can't get in a baseball routine.....and...and...and. Great leaders are at their best during adversity...not when everything is comfy and perfect. 3. Stashak MRI and gone 4. Start cycling through all AAA RP and figure out who if any are 'hot' this year (law of averages says we have one or two 'surprises' for this year. 5. Figure out something consistent for Dobnak before you ruin him. 6. Ride or die with Kirilloff.... Rosario is gone...see the plan through and how much more can you really die than the OPS+ of 7 from LF.... (Holy @#$%!) 7. Catcher and 1B most concerning.....If Sano/Garver/Jeffers don't snap back....we don't have may answers....

    Rocco expounding on no night games, it being cold, not having baseball routine....ugh. I'd like to give him a gentle reminder that the teams they played against also played at the same time of day and in the same weather. The other teams are equally responsible for executing difficult COVID-19 strategies and would also pay the same consequences for poor execution. Great leaders are at their best during adversity....not rationalizing about how good things will be when everything is juuuuuuust right.

    Wow... thank goodness Stashak made it back up in the nick of time.... don't know what we would have done without him!

  7. D.C Twins
    New hitting coach please (yes the sample size is large enough and no, Cruz and Donaldson are not dependent on a hitting coach)
  8. D.C Twins
    Nice article Cody... very instructive. thanks!

    The Killer Bs are going to get PAID in free agency in a few years...by a team with a bigger budget. And I will be excited for both Buck and Berrios because they the have both worked very hard on their craft, fought through adversity, and bet on themselves.
  10. D.C Twins
    He will not be pitching out of the bullpen, managing the team, or acting as the hitting coach..... so unfortunately I'll have to go with 'no'
  11. D.C Twins
    My concern is that Rocco just doesn't seem to have a feel for in game decisions. It's almost like he has a predetermined algorithm for each game when there are just way too many in game variables to do that. Many unanticipated adjustments are needed. I don't think that he is dumb or bad or lacks competitive fire or is not passionate about the game. But I DO think that he is ill equipped for in game management which is of course SUPER important. I think he would excel much more as a bench coach or in the FO helping with analytics and PRE-GAME prep or both. He will not be a long term manager, nor manage again for another team after the Twins, but he will have a long and successful career in baseball in another position.

    Uff Da

    Decisions have consequences.... The Northwestern Football team had ZERO positive tests over an entire season.... The success of organizations with COVID is not random, but behavior based.
  16. D.C Twins
    VERY nicely written and nicely timed article. Thank you!
  17. D.C Twins
    Cruz and Arraez for co-player-batting coaches! (I'm only half kidding)
  18. D.C Twins
    1.Wish Dobnak was at the alternate site to begin the season stretched out to start (which is what he does) and coming to start on Friday 2.Wish Donaldson or Buck pinch hit 2a. Wish that Donaldson and Buck were not healthy scratches in the same game 3. Wish Baldi realized that every pitcher does not turn into a pumpkin if they pass 90 pitches. They even have large variance within themselves from start to start! 4. Wish they would focus more on mechanics and velocity and pitcher performance within an inning later in the game to make changes. 5. Wish for world peace and an end to the pandemic while I'm at it (in case anyone of consequence is listening
  19. D.C Twins
    Could not agree more!
  20. D.C Twins
    Dearest Rocco, Great job finally realizing that Sano needed to go further down in the batting order! BUT.... now let's make sure that we are on the same page about 'pinch hitting.' I checked the most advanced of advanced analytics and it turns out that -- while very difficult for the average fan to understand---. you do need the 'HITTING' part to be a successful 'pinch hitter'.... So... Sano probably does not qualify for that so much right now. Don't worry champ, you got this! ....
  21. D.C Twins
    Well, for starters, it should have been shaken enough to not scribble out the "Black Hole Line-Up Card" (Trademark pending) 3rd : Garver 4th: Planco 5th: Sano Good Lord, i'm not one for knee jerk reactions, but if I was the GM...Baldi would have received a looooooooong talking to.
  22. D.C Twins
    The manager needs to up his game. He fills out the line up. His line up had 3rd: Garver 4th: Planco 5th: Sano So, he placed three hitters in terrible slumps back to back to back in the heart of the order. This is egregious. There is no advanced metric that can make it otherwise. Step it up Baldi!
  23. D.C Twins
    I would also add: "Sano is a problem" with associated paragraph like Colome Otherwise, great review!
  24. D.C Twins
    The current extra inning rules are comically ridiculous. Having a home run hitting contest or a round of cornhole would be no less ridiculous. If they really don't want to have extra innings... fine.... just start having ties and be done with it. The current rules are simply embarrassing and shameful for a multi billion dollar industry. ....And yes, this would still be my opinion if the Twins were 3-0 in extra-innings.
  25. D.C Twins
    Also seems like right elbow dipping/scooping more for more launch (and the right elbow seems to be driving through the strike zone and not getting caught down by his side..... but could simply be dependent on different pitch location for the side by side. Either way... great side by side and evaluation... thanks!
