Re: Fire Rocco!
the only mention i can see of anybody questioning rocco on why he didn't use his challenge was this response from somebody to dan hayes tweet about hicks sac fly in the 10th. nothing in hayes or do-hyung park's twitter accounts or the strib story.

Re: Fire Rocco!
Got to agree with Judd, he's calling out Rocco and calling for his head. Not sure how many others in the local Sports media have publicly voiced that obvious need for the club. Love it Juddy.

Re: Fire Rocco!
I don’t think I’ve ever seen Judd criticize a manager like that in his entire career.
Just an embarrassing effort starting at the top this weekend home against Baltimore.

Yankees fired their hitting coach. Twins are standing by for now.

Re: Fire Rocco!
Lotta the comments to Judd say the same I do.
Falvey and Levine need to go before Rocco. Rocco is just a puppet.

Re: Fire Rocco!
i don't really see a downside to letting rocco go first.
Is Twins ownership under new boss Joe Pohlad losing patience in favor of urgency?
The new Twins boss sounded frustrated during an interview, which took place before the Twins' 15-2 loss to the Orioles.
https://www.startribune.com/joe-pohlad- ... 600288463/
"I like it. I feel prepared. I felt ready, it's just that there is a feeling, transitioning into this job, that, 'Oh, there's a lot more weight on my shoulders than I expected. It's like the old saying: 'The buck stops here.' "
"Urgency" might be replacing "patience" as the prevailing attitude of Twins ownership.

Re: Fire Rocco!
Notice how he doesn't mention how managers have taken ownership and held themselves accountable."Because of that, we haven't had the fun that you know the fans really want to have here, that feeling that the fans and our players can really grab onto and then get some momentum."
"So, how do I feel? I want to see a little bit of urgency right now. I think our fans do, too. I think our players understand that."
"What's nice, and what I respect from our core group of players, is that they're not backing down from their performance. They own up to it," Pohlad said. "And that's something that I really respect and I think all of our fans should respect."

Re: Fire Rocco!
Fuck Rocco. I still haven't forgave him for not getting tossed vs Houston when Ed Rosario got tossed first. He went out there, blew the ump, then came back and sat in the dugout as his team went 0-17 in the playoffs.

Re: Fire Rocco!
Are these dumb bastards seriously not going to do anything? They'll probably beat up on shitty ass Oakland and all will be well, until they play a real team again.

It is very clear that the Twin attitude is we should all just be happy to be here.jffl_commish wrote: ↑Thu Jul 13, 2023 9:08 am Are these dumb bastards seriously not going to do anything? They'll probably beat up on shitty ass Oakland and all will be well, until they play a real team again.
They have done more to enhance the game experience with upgrades at the ballpark vs on the field.
That should tell us all something.

Santana should not be the everyday 1B. I don't care if he's a switch-hitter. He's cooked. Done.

Re: Fire Rocco!
All of the comments from mid summer last year, already pertain to this spring.
That tells us all we need to know if Rocco's gonna be canned or not.
