What decisions is he, as the mgr, being made to do by the GM that we don't see? IOW, are all of these "iPad decisions" on him or is someone pulling his strings?

You think the GM is calling down in game decisions to Rocco?

Rocco is an iPad manager. Falvine hired him for that exact reason. It's a case of common philosophy.

A pitch really has to get away from you to hit a guy just below the ear at 95 mph ....

edit: just saw video - the catcher was set up high outside.

LOL. We're not trading Kepler or Duran. And I don't think anyone else wants Margot.

Who wouldn't want an elite pinch-hitter for the stretch run?

Kepler makes sense, not under contract after this year. see if you can get something. Nobody will want Margot. His primary role is backup OF and he can't get a pinch hit to save his life. Duran is traded you may as well give up on this season entirely...the biggest problems we have right now are all pitching. Rotation AND Bullpen. And one of your thoughts it to trade one of your best bullpen arms.

seriously if you don't want to improve the damned team....SELL IT. You don't belong as owners. This whole Bally's sports thing has made them worse in the spending department. and they are acting like they wont add any more payroll under any circumstances. Well, might as well shift gears and firesale this shit. Get rid of Pablo, Paddack, Thielbar, Jax, Santana, Julien, Buxton, Margot, anyone and everyone not named Lee or Lewis, Ober or Ryan. Sick of this penny pinching bullshit. IF YOU WANT MORE PEOPLE TO COME TO THE GAMES AND WATCH ON TV AND LISTEN ON THE RADIO, YOU HAVE TO PUT A WINNER ON THE FIELD.

This cheap ass shit in ownership is killing this franchise. All they care about is making money. WINNING CONSISTANTLY WILL MAKE YOU MORE MONEY IN THE LONG RUN. Letting any good player go to save money...in the long run is detrimental to the team and it's profits. They've owned the team nearly 40 years now and they still haven't figured this shit out. TIME FOR NEW OWNERSHIP.

Here endeth the rant

SEE? SEE? We didn't do nothing at the deadline! We did SOMETHING!!!

Why not just stand pat? Why not just admit that you're so ****ing cheap that you don't care if you win or lose. As long as you maintain your profit margin.

****ing Pohlads need to sell the ****ing team.

It wasn't maintaining profit margin.....it was increasing. Lost 10 million of last TV Contract and cut payroll by at least 35 million. Oh yeah 1st round pick isn't signed yet with a couple days to go.

I remember someone saying there was going to be a ton of money spent by the Twins FO at the trade deadline.

Matt what say you?

No runs after 3 innings at Wrigley. It’s a Festa-val. (See what I did there?)
