Joe Ryan is just not that good.

Yes he is. You just hate him because he will leave Scott Baker in the dust in Twins history.

Respectfully, no chance.

Scott Baker had 2 very good years and a good year.....that makes him about half as good as Francisco Liriano. The closest similarity between the two is they both had balky pitching elbows.

Paddock is barely good enough to get thru the order one time.

He is a 1-2IP opener at best. Trade or DFA and bring up Zebby/Festa if you this can't be done.

Pretty much my assessment of Paddack, a one time through the lineup guy. Like I said, Paddack is destined for the pen. He can replace Varland, who despite velocity doesn't fool many hitters.

I think by May we will see 2 of Matthews, Festa and Morris replacing Paddack and SWR in the rotation.

Does Baldeli think this is little league where everyone must play every game.

I’m so disinterested in this team, pinch hitting in the third inning how do you ever get in the flow of a game.
Throw out the the god awful spread sheet and use your head once in awhile.

I'd probably be a better game manager.

Its so hard to drum up any enthusiasm. Rocco sucks all the life out of the team and the "can't miss an at bat" guys are always hurt.

Rocco overmanages right down to little things. Like pinch-hitting Christian Vasquez for DeShawn Kiersey. Sure, Kiersey's bat is unknown at this point. The problem is that Vasquez is known...as the worst hitter in baseball.

SWR has 3 pitches but dont rate as good as Festa and Matthews 2 best. Paddock should have been gone in the offseason or moved to the pen. He did have 2 pitches; he hasn't had control and both pitches working at the same time in a long time.

Its a very low bar, but not an unpossible theory.

Turns out it's Festa. He'll be starting tomorrow night.

That's surprising since Matthews was on the same schedule as Lopez.

Indeed. But we are talking about Falvey and Rocco and they don't do things logically.

My guess is Festa gets a spot start and is sent back down then Matthews gets the longer call up. Festa is up to give the rotation an extra day off during a longer stretch of games without an off day. Then Matthews will take Lopez spot in the rotation.
