    It is too bad it's taken 4 losses to get to this point. I'm a little surprised that while working closely behind the scenes with Kenta, management couldn't see he didn't quite have it, that it cost this many games. It is hindsight and not quite that simple I suppose. I think Ober is still the #6 guy, with Louie #7. Hendrick may be edging past the 22 year old SWR for #8. Ober has the talent to run with this chance and he looks ready. Will be hold up?

    Well I guess we know what the metronomic recurring complaint complex will include this year. Giving up games with the B lineup and leaving pitchers in too long. At least Rocco mixes it up folks, right? I think Whitey might be at least partially right about Rocco's unpopularity. The most unpopular in Twins history? I don't know but there are some on this forum who have been watching the whole time and may have insight. Ray Miller? Billy Martin? I looked at the threads from last night here and a brief look at the comments at the Strib and the anti-Rocco sentiment is strong. Personally I don't get it, I like him. He is a little quirky compared to most in sports management and has a unique way of describing things. I get a kick out of it. The lineup yesterday was determined by a management team with heavy input from the new training staff. Then it is Rocco's job to answer the mob for these decisions. That's why he gets the big bucks. It's interesting that every year it's the same people deriding management, reacting strongly to each loss, blaming and predicting poor outcomes and then the same people pushing back and preaching moderation of reactions, looking at the big picture, and patience. It's pretty polarized without much crossover. It appears to also be a microcosm of this nation of ours, lol.

    Gads man, give the man a chance. BTW the Twins have signed and traded for many PROVEN bullpen arms. Matt Belisle had a long healthy track record of success, signed for 2 years at about 17mil and then got hurt. They traded for Romo and Dyson and then Dyson's body (and brain) promptly went on the fritz. They traded for Fulmer. Lopez. I would agree that the pen is one area they don't want to put too many chips into.

    He doesn't have options and that left him out of the last man in the pen role. He was battling Sands not the higher upside guys for better or worse.

    If Joey Gallo starts hitting singles, the league better beware. The homers will always be there and there is in the far reaches of the stands.

    I get that you don't appreciate Joey Gallo as a player and that you do appreciate spouting negativity, but don't put words in my mouth. Look back and READ my posts, I did not advocate for signing Gallo. I did not sign Gallo. I doubted whether he would bounce back. That is why I'm pleasantly surprised.

    What happened to all the quick hook Baldelli comments? As stated ad nauseum last year, you gotta have the horses. Like was stated last year Baldelli rode Berrios harder than his next team. I appreciate the silence this year, but the crows in Twins land should be running scared. Man up and eat your crow, Chicken Littles, lol.

    The analytics clearly state it depends on who your pitcher is.
