Im still not convinced Rodon can stay healthy for a full season, he has never shown that to be possible. Maybe his delivery helps a ton but Larussa is still throwing him out there for 100+ pitches a game. I cant fault him for that as hes deserved every inning this season, but hes going to enter a workload he has never experienced before.

So happy i can only follow on gameday

When was our last hit?

The offense has given up on Larussa, its getting obvious

With our starting pitching we better hope for all the DHs we can get. We have a big advantage in that regard.

Lets not kid ourselves, the Twins are going to go on a massive run sometime this season and get back into it. I do love these meltdowns however

Unfortunately our owner doesnt care what people think. I believe he gets a kick out of making everyone mad, hes been doing it for 30 years in multiple sports.

We all know hes coming here, i kind of hope he does for the drama

After thinking about this more its just Kopech right now, but since hes on an innings limit that might be an issue down the road. All 5 of our SP are doing very well, so if one gets hurt you could slot in a AAA starter in the 5th spot every now and again towards the end of the season if Kopech has to be shut down. Thats assuming someone gets hurt however.

1-2 of our SP will either get hurt or get tired this year, having the depth is a very big plus.

What are our odds without Robert now? A 4-5 WAR player replaced by the likes of BIlly Hamilton? Twins will bounce back. Indians are the Indians and will always be in games. Tony fucking Larussa.

Relax Tony

Our whole starting OF is hurt

We are 16-13 and I feel like this seasons lost. I know it isn't, but it feels that way with the clubhouse drama and LaRussa. This is the most confused I have ever felt as a fan, because its not the play on the field I am so irate about. Hamilton and Leury are in positions that they shouldn't be in. I find them frustrating but I understand their limitations, and I don't fault them for being so bad. I guess my issue comes with the overwhelming feeling that this organization is a mess. From the reports that our minor leaguers don't get the coaching and preparation needed, the front office talking shit about the fans on a consistent basis, the rumors about Jerry saying second place is where he wants to be, the indefensible hire of a 76 year old with legal and drinking issues who is out of touch with the game, the lack of spending, the lack of trust in analytics, and the weekly embarrassing moments that happen on and off the field. Its all so tiresome. The injuries that have been plaguing this team havent helped either of course. This year was supposed to be a real treat, and in a lot of ways it has. Mercedes, Kopech, Rodon, Cease, the list goes on. There is a lot to be happy about even with all the injuries, but the bad is just overwhelming and distracting. A new front office and ownership would really be a breath of fresh air. This TLR debacle is incredibly frustrating because we are stuck with it.

Well we had him on third base with hamilton batting. You can't expect Hendricks to know what to do in a safety squeeze scenario so id bet that was off the table due to who was running.

or having Leury steal second base to stay out of the double play when the Reds were not aligned defensively for it? HE HAS TO GO

We arent baseball managers for a billion dollar franchise

and why the hell didnt Leury bunt? I just dont fucking understand what happened

whats worse than having the pitcher run in the 10th is having Leury steal. It made 0 sense, Hamilton batting is an automatic out, why risk it? Im still livid

They arent going to fire Larussa, Jerry would never do it.

Look, Billy Hamilton is a great addition to the team for base running and defensive purposes. Thats it. Thats all.

wait what is that true? im about to lose it!

During todays game in the 7th inning I was wondering if something controversial would come up with Larussa. I hate having to sit there and ponder how our 76 year old manager is going to screw everything up. Im tired of being the embarrassing franchise in the league. Tired of injuries and our crying poor owner!

did nobody question him on the base stealing attempt by Leury?

Ahem
