Another Jax melt down snatches defeat from the jaws of victory. Sands also did a great job of letting every inherited runner score.

At least Luke Keaschall had a nice debut. Single, double, stolen base, rbi, run scored.

The strength going into the season is a joke. The pen. A Rocco is clueless on pen Management.

Of all the potential problems the Twins could have this year, Griffin Jax being broken was not on my bingo card. He gave up 16 earned runs last year. He’s already given up 10 this year.

Right now Jax isn't throwing quality strikes. His pitches either miss the zone or go over the heart of the plate.

He's certainly not missing bats.
And Rocco keeps him out there when it's clear his control is bad.

Nothing like a good team in a slump getting to play the Twins and snapping out of a slump.
And Ryan isn't the pitcher to stop a losing streak

Part of it is Rocco's inability to see beyond Analytics, Pulling starting pitchers when they are pitching well and have good pitch count are pulled and then he has to manage the bullpen for 4-5 innings. It's wearing the bullpen out.

Analytics are killing the game IMHO.

I don't have a problem with playing the percentages from time to time, but the reason it worked so well for the moneyball As is nobody else was doing it. And you need a manager that still thinks old school about it as well. Like having a good feel when to ignore the analytics and go with the gut. I will never forget Alex Kiriloff going 3-3 with two HRs and a double and getting pinch hit because a left hander was pitching....that kind of shit is dumb as ****.

When you have people accepting players batting sub .200 as long as they are drawing walks...this is what happens.

Add on the inactivity of this front office (Thanks a lot you cheap as basstard Pohlads) this offseason and you have a recipe for suck.
