I said he was to blame, didn’t say a word about firing him. If he can learn from his mistakes then keep him, if he’s just going to refer to his spread sheets to make his decisions, then Jonah Hill could manage this team.
I think they backed off a bit and played a little conservative in the 2nd half. That’s ok, the defense was real good. I’m sure when the Packers finally scored many Vikings fans were worried but the truth is, the Packers were never a threat.
The Twins are 27th in the majors in IP/GS at 4.8 according to baseball reference. They are 29th in pitches per start at 78. I do see that as a problem. I can’t count how many times an effective starter has been pulled early because of the 3rd time through the order fear, only to have the first reliever immediately give up runs. Is Rocco to blame? Well, the short answer is yes.
I think “options” are based on longevity not how many times they are sent down
Once a player is added to a team’s 40-man roster, his team has three options, or three different seasons in which the club may to send him to the minor leagues without having to clear waivers. A player on the 40-man roster playing in the minors is on optional assignment. There is no limit on the number of times a club may promote and demote a player during one option season.
