Rocco Baldelli’s final act as fired Twins manager is shielding the front office Baldelli took the fall for back-to-back ugly seasons, but what does that solve if the Twins' ownership and front office remain unchanged?

Rocco Baldelli was hand-picked by Derek Falvey in 2019. For the past seven seasons, Baldelli served as Falvey's manager and collaborator. And then Monday, in being fired, Baldelli served as Falvey's shield.

Minnesota Twins fire manager Rocco Baldelli after nightmarish season After two years managing a roster on a reduced payroll, Baldelli was fired.

The #MNTwins fired Rocco Baldelli after seven season. And after making a mighty large payroll reduction two seasons ago.

Why will no one stop him?

Perfect summation.

Finally had a chance to listen to this and I want to thank you for your comments on Pete Rose.

I agree. I wish the Pohlad family would sell the team so I can go back. They get zero dollars from me

How much longer are we as #MNTwins fans going to be forced to endure Vazquez with a bat in his hand? It’s a crime against potential

Action. Forgive the ridiculous miss

Congrats Tracii! For those of us who have been fans since Sex Actuon hit MTV and introduced you to the world… it feels pretty good on this end. I can’t imagine how happy you guys must be

Paddack has been much better than I expected. It’s not enough to dissuade me from believing he should have been traded, but he has been pretty good compared to other 4-5th starters around the league

One less MAGAt? The price is wrong Wink. Say hi to Satan

@aarongleeman.bsky.social is there a place where I can find batting averages per pitch? IE: what do guys hit on the first pitch of at bats, & is there a sweet spot for pitches seen?

With how 2024 ended and how the team played this spring and through opening weekend I wonder how long before the anti-Baldelli voices sound?

Teaching *Blade Runner* this week (a favorite),which resonates in all sorts of new ways atm. Here’s a fun 30 sec re-enactment of it with bunnies (created by Jennifer Shiman):

I think it’s safe to say the only thing they care about besides themselves is inflicting suffering on the people who don’t bow and worship them.

Now hearing multiple cable providers are announcing their deal with #MNTwins TV. Even if you haven't yet, that's a really good indication it's happening soon.

My friend Amy posted this on Facebook. I can’t imagine ever forgiving them!

MAGAts and the people of Lud from The Dark Tower series seem fairly close in intelligence. Steve Bannon is Gasherman… @stephenking.bsky.social how’d I do?

I wanted to see a deal involving Paddack & Castro & Tristan Casas before France signed. Yes, I know it would have taken more. Now there is no big benefit to trading him.

@tracii.me hoping sales are brisk as I’m sure it’s yet another killer album. I miss Ace on Twitter so please wish him and the dogs my best. He helped a lot when ours died last year!

Found myself back in the other social media rabbit holes because apparently I needed my mental health to go to hell? This place has done a nice job of insulating from magat cancer

@jeanne-schulze1.bsky.social welcome!

@caribbeanliz.bsky.social thank you

This was such a fantastic treat! Hopefully Beato make the trip to Bluesky

@robertpicardo.bsky.social just watching “The Shrine” episode of Stargate Atlantis. For all of us who have lost someone to Alzheimer’s this episode is a wish and a dream. Your line about father to the end of the episode just hit me. Thank you for making a moment that truly lasts

I really love this podcast episode. You guys sound better and happier. Glad to hear you’re trying to do some things to help your back.
