It’s not like there’s a bunch of postseason experience on this roster but man, I’m with you. Do you really want to throw those two guys into the bright lights in a tie and one run ballgame respectively? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Decision time Rocco: -Who starts tomorrow? (I go Dobnak) -Who catches? ( I stick with Garver) -Does Cron play? (Nope) -Does Arraez start? (He is hurting but with Tanaka on the hill I'll say yes) He can't make worse pitching decisions after tonight. That was the low. Unless Stewart somehow finds a way into the series and pitches....impossible right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNDMOORHEAD Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 The Twins have now lost 14 straight postseason games, the Yankees are responsible for 11 of those. At this point it'd be nice to just win a game to break this unbelievably bad streak. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gardy, Molitor, and now Rocco.....not that we are more talented than the Yankees, but the squirrel needs to be put in the right situations to find the nut.

I know the game was out of hand but hopefully his performance earned a little more trust for him from Rocco. I definitely would have had him coming in before Stashak last night.

I can’t imagine any twins fan couldn’t see that outcome coming. Littell, Stashak, and Gibson are so clearly the inning eaters if things have gone to crap. Things hadn’t gone to crap. Berries wasn’t great, but easily could have given up no runs with a little defensive help. Arreaz catches that blooper to lead off the 3rd.... Why not have Berrios start the 5th after having a great 4th? If he gets in trouble Duffy comes in. The game was a toss-up at that point. And why not have Gibson pitch the 8th? The game was out of reach. Have him take that inning instead of blowing another arm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 I question the bullpen moves, but getting these guys in early in the series may have been the plan to help them not crap their pants later. It’s just tough with only a 5 game series. It’s the only way I can rationalize some of Rocco’s odd choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
