This is crazy.

[Azviking101]

Rocco checked webmd and it said that Duran's arm would fall off if he faced 2 more batters.

[Aggies7]

Even if it works out, it’s a terrible decision that I’m struggling to explain

I also get it and I equally hate it. Use your best horse RIGHT NOW AGAINST CLEVELAND. To put it bluntly, **** tomorrow.

And that’s the problem… if that’s all he’s going to do then anyone could do his job, I didn’t realize he wasn’t allowed to think for himself

Extras...here we come!

When Thielbar blows this I want to hear so many boos.

[Aggies7]

I mean, this could be a fireable offense.

Same. Instead they sit on their hands, whisper "oh jeez" under their breath before heading home for some macaroni salad and a glass of milk.

[h2oface]

Baldy is just incapable of managing a game now, it seems. How do you like your plan so far, Baldy!!!???

[Puckett34]

There's a runner on.  Can we bring Joe Smith back in?

[Aggies7]

Managers and closers are overrated, eh

[Aggies7]

As bad as Miranda has been at first, he may have just saved a game 

[wsnydes]

That could have been very bad...

[LVTwinsfan]

I’m really starting to dislike Thielbar

Let's not forget to place a significant portion of blame on the front office when Baldelli's choices are:

1. Ride Duran too hard and break him

2. Lose

[h2oface]

Mr 7 era on the mound. Unbelieveable.

OK. 6+

Seems the matchups are reverse. Did you see that in you charts, Baldy!?

[LVTwinsfan]

Rocco is sweating bullets

But at this point today you’ve already committed to him for two innings. Senseless to yank him. He could have thrown 10 more pitches maybe (hopefully)?

[Puckett34]

[Aggies7]

Genius move by Rocco, had it all along ?

Rocco lives to see another game.

[h2oface]

Still absolutely hate the decision. Got lucky. Real lucky.

[mrtwinsfan]

Never a doubt

[Mortimerkenny21]

Hot diggity, we needed that win!

 

[operation mindcrime]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Craig Arko]

Rocco, the idiot savant manager.
