Ober should be fucking livid right now
If a FA starting pitcher chose to sign elsewhere because of Rocco “spreadsheet” Baldelli (not that the Pohlad’s would let us start that conversation to begin with), but hypothetically… I’d be like- *ya I totally get it* … and it’s not like the Duran to Jax move doesn’t make rational sense from a game process standpoint- but just realizing that ober is on one tonight and you gotta ride him
0 reason to pull him there. This team wasn’t going anywhere in the playoffs with our 2 stars out for 2 months after suffering “1-2 week injuries” – but holy shit was that frustrating… I need a break from this team for a couple days
Thank god it’s football season 😅
Good god man.
I know it’s his job… but I’m lowkey mad at Provus rn
Why did Ober come out with only 83 pitches?
Fuck the Royals – we own the tie breaker, bitch.
Fuck Rocco – take your spreadsheet and shove it up your ass.
Fuck baseball – for making me so goddamn moody and emotional.
Experience **ROCCO BALL**.
An Ober gem thrown out the damn window. Simply infuriating to watch.
This team is completely failing at every single facet of the game. Truly incredible to witness honestly.
Fire Rocco, Fire the Pohlads, Fire me for liking this team
Masterclass of throwing a perfectly winnable game away.
83 pitches in September?? LET HIM FUCKING GO
This team has problems at all levels, but the decision making is right up there.
Poor Ober
1 base runner through 7 innings and FIFTEEN IN A FUCKING ROW
I hate that Rocco keeps justifying my hatred of him.
Like the Buffalo Bills of old, the Minnesota Twins are circling the ~~wagons~~ drain!
Kinda crazy how all 10-ish of their worst losses this season have come in the past month or so. Cannot think of a team limping into the playoffs worse than than us rn. With how low our hopes and feeling and belief in this team is, kinda expect them to make a deep run now. I wanna cry
Just get fucked Rocco, this one is on you. You have no idea how to properly manage pitchers.
Finally a good royals start for Ober and it’s ruined.
So sickening. I tuned in late to seeing that Ober was cruising. That was the most predictable loss ever. This team isn’t serious. Need Correa and Buxton back so badly.
Disasterclass in pitcher management.
I expect nothing, and I’m still let down.
Fuck this team so hard
Been having a great time watching tennis lately, highly recommend it!
Ralph Wiggum chuckles…
We’re in danger
Rocco pulled a pitcher throwing a 1 hitter after 80 pitches.
Rocco seeing this as a must win game made him think he needs to press all the right buttons. But he shouldn’t have pressed a button at all. Let Ober eat. JFC
This team is thoroughly relegated to just occasional checks of the MLB app for a while. It’s just terrible fucking baseball night after night.
The thing I’d like to say is….classic rocco fuck up
I don’t agree with the decision to pull Ober and Rocco deserves some blame for that.
But the Twins were up by 2 in the 8th inning and handed the ball to their two best relievers and they couldn’t come through while the offense only scored 2 runs. This is on the players, just didn’t play well enough
Ober and Pablo are gonna need to go 9 innings for us to have a chance to win in the playoffs.
Of all the gut wrenching losses of late, this might be the worst.
Going to Duran/jax for the 8th and 9th and people are mad. It shouldn’t be controversial, They just choked.
There’s a lot of decisions Rocco makes that I side eye but this one isn’t one of them. Your two best relievers should be able to hold a two run game.
Well at least the twins kept me entertained right up until football season. And for that I thank them. Time for the Vikings to let me down.
I’m still pissed about them pulling ober and the disaster that followed but Jesus Christ could our offense do anything? They have given us almost no chance to win games. Feel like we are averaging 2 runs a game the past 2 weeks. Just not gonna do it
On one hand, going to your best two bullpen arms is 100% playing for the win and doing what you’d do in a post season game. It should be more than enough to secure a win. They need to be better.
On the other hand, Ober was fuckin cruising man. Idk. A better lineup and it might not have even mattered.
There is not a single section of this team playing well with any consistency. It’s just not a good team right now. I think we have enough of a lead to limp into a wild card spot. But our hopes for any deep October run hinges on Bux and Correa coming back and playing at their peak right away. Also, Royce needs to remember how to hit.
Dude, I just feel so bad for Ober.
Rocco would have yanked Jack Morris out of game 7 to put in David West.
