  1. i was wrong to say they "haven't" had good bullpens under rocco. problem is there is exactly one reliever left from 2019 (duffey), and 3 from 2020 (duffey, alcala and thielbar). last year was a big regression and the bullpen had the 11th most innings pitched. I simply don't think it's a sustainable model to continually get 5 or less from the starters. yes it's a baseball-wide model of doing things unfortunately, but I worry that a team like the twins will struggle as the innings mount. we just don't have enough quality arms in the bullpen IMO
  2. welp then you’d better have a good bullpen if you’re going to do it (twins haven’t). Otherwise the few good guys you have get burned out or injured (Taylor last year). Implementing a system you know doesn’t suit your team isn’t the best decision IMO
  3. I didn’t say it was only a Rocco thing. What other teams do is irrelevant. Our manager has been doing it since he came here. It’s unreasonable to expect 4-5 innings from the bullpen seemingly every single game, certainly not when our bullpen isn’t particularly great
  4. I’m talking about continually pulling starters early, leaving a reliever in too long. A newly acquired one too. It was a 3 run game not a blowout
  5. Twins management, whether it be Rocco or the FO, manage the season like there are 500 games to be played. So many “whatever” games where losing doesn’t seem to be all that bad of an outcome. Head scratching
  6. Good, now it’s just a normal everyday embarrassing loss instead of an historic one
  7. I think a combined perfect game might be somewhat worse to have thrown against you
  8. How do you come out of a game 6 outs away from a perfect game? Total joke
  9. Well that would be a complete joke, but fits well into modern baseball
  10. Guys, I don’t think Clayton is coming out of this game
  11. ESPN usually waits until the 6th to do perfect game alerts. I think they can go ahead and get started here
  12. Well, we’ll get to see a position player pitch in only our fifth game
