    I was thinking something similar. Of course, I could have missed it but, has he played yet this spring? Has he had even one at bat?

    Unless I missed it, Rocco didn't say anything about changing how he handles both starting pitchers and the bullpen. That could be the key to the entire season. IMO...he gets an "F" for last year.

    The best line up is the one that Rocco does NOT change every game.

    I noticed that as well. Setting expectations so low that anything will seem like a major achievement.

    Gallo's batting average is less than .200. Arraez is over .300. Who gets on base more? You can't score if you don't get on base.

    Agreed. Everyone keeps saying the Twins need to add a top notch starting pitcher. What pitching "ace" would want to play for Baldelli? Answer: None.
  27. Swing Batter-Batter
    When you don't have the speed, not stealing bases is understandable. What I don't understand is the base running mistakes. The Twins had a ton of them. Is it poor fundamental coaching or no coaching at all?

    The NEW Miguel Sano.
  29. Swing Batter-Batter
    I was just going to say that. Baltimore picked him up off the waiver wire today. The debate on whether to bring him back or not, is over.
  30. Swing Batter-Batter
    I could not possibly agree more. There were times when I did not think Baldelli was even watching the game. I mean why would he? The "plan" was devised before the team took the field and it's the 5th inning so, pull the starter. He wore out the bullpen before June 15th. They had to go out and replace half the bullpen, just to make it through the season. Baldelli has no game managing skills and ability to deviate from the "plan". They should just set up a laptop in the dugout and have the players refer to it every inning for their instructions. Who needs a manager?
  31. Swing Batter-Batter
    Although he tried.
  32. Swing Batter-Batter
    They need a pitching coach, a strength and conditioning coach, a 3rd base coach.....and fill the vacant manager position. That would be a start.
  33. Swing Batter-Batter
    Yes you are . LOL

    In my opinion, Rocco has mismanaged the pitching staff from day one. Pulling starters too soon, completely wearing out the bullpen before July 5th. Inserting pitchers in the absolute wrong situations. Not ever adjusting to what is actually happening on the field and instead, deferring to "the plan". I agree with you 100% that, a playoff win will never occur under Rocco and at this point, I doubt we will ever even see a playoff appearance while he is manager.

    I find myself imaging where we would be without Rocco. My guess 8 games over .500.
