    Bullpen problem solved: just win games by 7-10 runs.
  2. D.C Twins
    It's Buck's world, we're just livin' in it!
  3. D.C Twins
    I'm so happy for Buck; he worked hard on his craft and endured. I will be rooting for his just reward in FA even though we won't have a chance. He's not going to hit over 400 for the season but I don't see a huge regression either. That swing is more compact, efficient and confident. I love the win today, BUT remember that we simply crushed a horrible SP like previous teams had done to the poor guy. AND we didn't have to use our bullpen. So, they still have lots to prove and I hope they do it!

    Sooooo much for that.... rolled him out down 5-4 in the 8th still very much in the game to hit a batter and walk a bunch... Rocco to Colome was overheard while taking the ball at the mound saying "Colome...why can't I quit you?!?!):
  5. D.C Twins
    I think the most important parallel to make is: the "weird Willie Eyre fixation" to the current "weird Colome fixation" (gotta keep rollin' him out because, you know, um, yeah!)
  6. D.C Twins
    If only we were one reliever away....if only....
  7. D.C Twins
    New manager and hitting coach please
  8. D.C Twins
    I agree that he is (highly) unlikely to be fired. Time to just sit back and watch in awe and wonderment of his 'decisions.' If you can't even keep track of how many visits there have been to the mound in one inning...I don't know what to say. If you think that you just need to keep rolling out Colombe and "support him" and "keep him in his comfortable role that he has always been in" (see post game press conference on this site if your stomach can handle it), then I don't know what to say. I could go on and on.... but it would be a waste of time, because you are right that he is not going anywhere I will say that he will not be the coach of the Twins NLT 2023 and he won't manage another MLB team after that.

    .... and now officially adding.....new manager please... to my mantra..... I've given much more nuanced critiques of Rocco, but now it is uncomfortable to even be critical of him because he is so.... lost, confused, dejected, and over his head that its just.....sad.... Today's managerial performance... just wow... I mean, just...wow
  10. D.C Twins
    New hitting coach please....
  11. D.C Twins
    Rocco is just over analyzing. He needs to take a step back, simplify things and get back to the basics.
  12. D.C Twins
    Nope
  13. 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....
  14. D.C Twins
    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.
  15. D.C Twins
    Wow... thank goodness Stashak made it back up in the nick of time.... don't know what we would have done without him!
  16. D.C Twins
    New hitting coach please....
  17. 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)
  18. D.C Twins
    Nice article Cody... very instructive. thanks!
  19. D.C Twins
    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.
  20. 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'
  21. 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.
  22. D.C Twins
    New hitting coach please
  23. D.C Twins
    New hitting coach please
  24. D.C Twins
    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.
