Becomes the new team's starting shortstop, wins the batting title, a Gold Glove and mega bucks. Twins FO says "He never looked that good sitting on Rocco's bench."

 

 

[Parfigliano]

Roy says Miranda doesnt want to strike out.  I say he really really doesnt want to walk.

[mrtwinsfan]

Rocco started Larnach 3  times in a row.  With Mr d.p.  batting,

The ump is calling strikes on pitches above the zone tonight. Robo umps now, if not sooner!

Yankee crew was scratching there head, about Larnach stealing, Talking about Twins 1  stolen base,  At least Rocco did what he could ,  Miranda needs that big Red bat

My guess is there feeling very deferential to Ober, who doesn't belong in AAA.

Nope. Optioned this afternoon.

Dick calls that a bunt attempt. It wasn't just an attempt. The pitch was bunted successfully. It's just that it didn't result in a hit.

[Nine of twelve]

Gray faces the minimum through three. That's not necessarily the same as nine up, nine down.

[Aggies7]

Making this jhonny burrito guy throw a lot of pitches. Maybe MAT will bunt lol

He has been watching Twins baseball the last 30+ years.  He isnt familiar with an actual bunt.  I give him a pass on this and when it comes to Richard I'm a cruel task master.

[Aggies7]

Just an awful bunt attempt

.230 hitters should be better at bunting 

 

*but it was a good AB nonetheless 

[Aggies7]

Thank god we knocked this fella out in the first inning last time out. We might still be playing. Tortoise speed

[Nine of twelve]

OK, boys, we moved the line on this guy last time we saw him. Again, please.

[stringer bell]

Oh no! Bases loaded, nobody out. 

[Aggies7]

Bases loaded nobody out. Our old nemesis 

[Parfigliano]

[Aggies7]

Hopefully correa saves all his big hits for the Yankees
