...and he's back.

Alcala melt down turns a 4-0 lead into a 5-4 deficit.

TJSweens -> RE: Twins 2024 Season and Game Day Thread (8/18/2024 4:50:10 PM)
Only Rocco Baldelli would use Christian Vasquez as a pinch hitter.

MDK -> RE: Twins 2024 Season and Game Day Thread (8/18/2024 4:59:58 PM)
Rocco keeps Acala in to lose a 4 run lead and then pinch hits for Larnach with Vazquez. He, Rocco, is a moron

TJSweens -> RE: Twins 2024 Season and Game Day Thread (8/18/2024 7:58:18 PM)
Alcala's inning is Corey Provus' fault. When Alcala came out for the 7th, Provus started gushing on how Alcala was pitching the best baseball of his life and was practically unhittable. 4 pitches later, 2 runs had scored. Vasquez was sent up to pinch hit for someone who had a single and a double in the game because Rocco is absolutely obsessed with left / right matchups.

Was Okert's inning also Provus' fault?

Forgive me but I'm not a BB guy but live in the SD area. I listen to their sports radio driving in because there is nothing else..... They were comparing the 2 teams and mentioned that they were pretty much carbon copies of each other. One thing that stood out though was, apparently, Rocco has pinch hit a guy that is 0-32 in that situation. They were mind blown about that.

He is so obsessed with left / right matchups that he does things like pinch hit with Margot (0 for32) or Vasquez (one of the worst hitters in baseball). He even pinch hits them for guys who are dialed in and have a couple of hits in the game. Just a dumbass.

I go back to this all the time...but last year, Alex Kiriloff was 3 for 3 in a game with two Home Runs and a double. And Rocco got stressed because a lefthander was being brought in and pinch hit for Kiriloff. 1. The guy's clearly locked in, seeing the ball very well....let him hit and 2. a lefthanded hitter is not going to get better at hitting left handed pitchers unless you let them hit against left handed pitchers. It's shit like this that can cost you games. He's done it many times. Like pinch hitting for Larnach by using Vasquez....Makes no ****ing sense, but in Rocco's world a lefthander can't face a LH pitcher. Dumb ass shit

I'm still pissed at him for refusing his minor league assignment and instead going on the major league IL.

I'm still pissed at him for refusing his minor league assignment and instead going on the major league IL. Still on IL. And he can stay there and never come back as far as I'm concerned. He's proving to be just as fragile as Buxton. with less talent. I wouldn't be sad to see him go. I've been indifferent to his absence. If he remains on the team in 2025, they had better have a pretty good contingency plan for when it misses a big chunk of the season with another unreported injury.

That was sort of fun. Of course I missed all the good fun and tuned in one batter before the homerun. Still it was fun watching Simeon Woods Richardson's in get-it-and-throw mode. Tuned in the night before just in time for the SD double, homerun ... What kind of double would you call that? Catch .25% of the ball and your standing on 2nd? Anyway, 71 wins! Better than a kick in the backside. Most wins in the majors right now: 76 (1) 74 (3) 73 (2) 72 (2) 71 (MN KC)

Kirilloff is expected to do a rehab assignment soon. Was supposed to be in STP already, but he hurt an ankle while rehabbing. [&o] They do not miss that guy. At all. Lee is also about ready to go on assignment. At this point they'll just have to expect to go without Buxton and Correa. Sigh

SWR Has an ability to get out of trouble. In the game I saw last Friday in TX, they were hitting all kinds of rockets but the D made plays. Wednesday he didn't have many clean innings yet only coughed up a run. Great for him to come through like he has. Met his parents in the Texas Live! area before the game, at one of the sports bars Found them after the game in the concourse holding court. They were beaming, rightfully so.

The Twins batting line-up today according to the side of the plate they hit from: S L R L R L S L R I must not look at Gameday too often bc Ive never noticed this piece of info - or haven't looked very close when I do. Nice!

MDK -> RE: Twins 2024 Season and Game Day Thread (8/25/2024 3:41:38 PM)
Duran is an enigma. At times, unhittable. Other times, just doesn't come through. Today, with 2 outs, first pitch to Nootbaar, splitter right in the middle of the plate and a single with 2 runs. Twins lose 3 to 2. Once again, the young gun pitchers did well. Hitting continues to be a roller coaster.

Hitting continues to be a roller coaster. Personally, I always thought they should have given Duran a shot at the rotation before they relegated him to the pen. In fact, that was what Duran wanted, but the Twins said no.

Julien picked a great time to be brutal in the field that inning. Kepler had a sore knee Good grief, some of these guys are such babies So ready to be done with several of them.

MDK -> RE: Twins 2024 Season and Game Day Thread (8/25/2024 5:42:12 PM)
Twins are durable like hockey players[&:][&:][&:]

twinsfan -> RE: Twins 2024 Season and Game Day Thread (8/26/2024 8:29:37 PM)
Ober was so bad tonight, I wanted to cry. Was it the humidity? Sure hope this game gets wiped out by rain. It would save his Cy Young chances, and more importantly, give us a do-over in a double-header tomorrow or Wednesday.
