Good one Fry! Maybe Wes knew he couldn’t fix this bullpen all along?

Rocco taking some heat in the post game. His comment we need a full bullpen. Well yeah when they pitch half the game you kind of need a full bullpen.

It’s incredible……And there are actual real people out there saying it’s not Rocco’s fault…..Incredible.

At least Pagan burned the place down before Rocco could get Duffy in the game.

Think old Rocco was just playing the odds that the same guy cant screw it up 4 times in a row.

I actually would of taken a Duffy sighting last night. Cleveland has shown they can light up Pagan. Hope this does not turn into a long losing streak.

Rocco needs to go.

Same. For everyone out there saying Rocco had no good options, they’re right. But he had 3 better options, including Duffey at this point, than Pagan. He has given up something like 37 runs in his last 34 innings and has blown 6 leads against the Indians this season. There are only 4 Indians players that are more valuable to the team than PAGAN has been. That’s from a real stat from analytics and you’d think Rocco would have that in his binder.

heard this morning that Pagan was responsible for 5 losses of his own doing. if you count those and the 5 losses to the tribe by one run, the twins should have a 10 game lead in the division. i actually went to bed when Kepler hit the dong thinking even Pagan or Duffey couldn’t eff that up!

Demonstrating how useless some stats are, Pagan got a Hold for his “efforts” last night.

Archer is giving Wes a workout on his last day!!!

Oh boy…😳

Who was the guy pitching in the Duffy jersey?

Good grief, no wonder Thornburg can’t throw strikes… he’s falling all over the place every time he follows through.. where do they get these guys??

He’s been pretty good the last handful of outings.

Bring back Ron Davis

Corey Provis last words after the walk off HR “I’m going to puke.” haha

Great game

We all knew hat Rocco would burn up the bullpen. What we didn’t know was how bad some of these guys are.

I’ll be the first one to pat Rocco on the back for the starters. They have gotten some pretty good outings out of these plow horses. Even today, Archer stumbled his way to 4 innings.

I literally have no words………

The Twins can’t have 7 starters in the second half when Ober comes off the IL in a week.

So jettison Pagan, Duffy, Thornburg – and consider moving Ober and Bundy to the bullpen. I’d say maybe Archer too but at this stage of his career he’d never go for it.

Leave the starting 5 as:
Gray
Ryan
Smeltzer
Winder
Archer

5 more of these meltdowns and i’ll completely forget that fraud Colume from last year.

Here’s your friendly reminder the Twins and the kid genius Falvine front office CHOSE not to spend any money on bolstering the bullpen this offseason, and CHOSE to trade their best reliever for Paddack and Pagan.

And if Rodgers goes to free agency and they get nothing people are complaining.

I think it’s pretty apparent Falvey will spend all his money on the line-up. He will recycle starters and claim what he can find on the scrap heap for the bullpen. Very little upside, but very little cost involved either.

In any event, last year at this time they were buried and the season was over. Today they are hanging on to a one game lead with Cleveland and the White Sux hot on their tail. Will be much more enjoyable than last year although the end result will be having missed the play-offs again.

Who says they can’t Rocco would probably love a 7 man rotation.

Would a receipt help to get Rogers back on a warranty claim? (gulp!)

“Who says they can’t Rocco would probably live a 7 man rotation.”

Maybe one can serve the dual role of pitching coach too ~

Or making the playoffs which will ultimately be the same.

If they used their Target Red Card, I think the time frame doubles.
