These guys have the worst approaches at the plate. What does the hitting coach actually do?

I've evolved to share this view. 

I mean, what IS he actually doing? Why do we take so many bad ABs? Lead MLB in Ks? Get so few hits?

[Montdak]

So I missed the play by play of the inning when in the other room and hearing about fruit loop hotdogs.  Was there any.?  Play by play I mean. I am anyway constantly yelling at the screen “Call the MF game!”

[MMMordabito]

Ryan's gotta be thinkin' that he would've taken 8 in New York to have a couple here.

[srjr19]

At this point I would assume that the hitting would quit rather than be associated with this mess.  Sorta like Wes Johnson.

Got a few seconds of Audra chewing. 

Not a good look.

Sadly, I don’t believe Rocco is capable of managing without it…..it is his crutch 

we know that , im talking about the players , they all cant wait to see what they did,  How can a batting coach deal with that,   Players are spoiled to law of averages , its Baseball the way its been for 100+ years, players dont need a in-game history lesson,  SEE   BALL --- HIT BALL 

[Aggies7]

MLB: we’re changing rules to generate more offense

 

twins: oh yeah we’ll show YOU!

[notoriousgod71]

Arraez has a batting average over 200 points higher than our team BA.

Not doin' it ... Not spending points.

[USAFChief]

Nice play C4.

Nothing is going to happen until it's too late.  Like most teams and people in general, the Twins are reactive, not pro-active.  As long as we're in first place or close, rocco knows his job is safe.

It should not be.  FO suits need to make that crystal clear to him.

His presence is missed on days like today.

Garlick is an option 

Garlick who is hitting all of .211 in St Paul?

[stringer bell]

Polanco-Buxton-Kirilloff sounds like at least a hit.

[USAFChief]

OMG Polonco 

[rwilfong86]

Buxton, first pitch swinging again. so frustrating

[stringer bell]

Swung at ball 4. Swung at first pitch. 

[rwilfong86]

There goes the no no

[Aggies7]

Thank god, now we can just lose normally 

[Craig Arko]

Thank you, Alex.

He has a track record of beating up MLB lefties.

[stringer bell]

Good thing they recalled AK.

You know it’s bad when people want garlick up here. Ben rortvedt is kicking around in AAA for the Yankees. Maybe they can send him back 

[Twins_Fan_For_Life]

One swing of the bat ties it here

[rwilfong86]

Go ahead run at the plate.. but it's Miranda.
