Julien vs a lefty or one of our underwhelming right handed bench bats cold off the bench?

what an awful choice to have to make. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Julien, take three....

Time for a Royce Lewis impression ( or a mirror image?)

[Danchat]

Yikes, pulling Julien in the 4th inning? Really?

[USAFChief]

I HATE THIS MOVE!!! STOP TAKING HITTER OUT FOR MANNY FRIGGIN MARGOT!!!

[akmanak]

What a great call.

Jeffers still at .000 with no hard hit balls after an ops of 1.178 in spring 

 

spring stats don’t matter 

I will give you a bit of that as, Polanco batted over .400 in ST and now is batting close to .200.

[Azviking101]

we really removed Julien in the 4th for Margot to bunt?

 

who makes these decisions 

[nicksaviking]

If they're going to pull Julien every time a lefty steps on the mound, why didn't they trade him instead of Polanco? After his great rookie season, Julien almost certainly could have headlined a trade to land the top end pitching they needed.

[Aggies7]

Not enough evidence 

[stringer bell]

The way things are going, it is sure to be overturned.

[Robert Floren]

Can't win this one too, no overturn

That aged well.

[Aggies7]

That’s absolute bull 💩 

[danielp19653]

watching Margot get out all year for Julien is going to kill me 

[UpstateNewYorker]

Can't catch a break. 

[Aggies7]

That’s terrible. **** replay

[nicksaviking]

I hope they erroneously overturned that call just to rub Rocco's nose in such a terrible, terrible managerial decision.

[Azviking101]

Might be the worst decision of Rocco’s career there 

yikes 

[USAFChief]

Rocco. STOP doing this stupid ****. FFS>

Sorry. i was wrong...

[akmanak]

What happened to the old school rule that tie goes to runner?

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

I missed the end of yesterday's game so can someone tell me - did Margot bunt in the 9th inning after Correa's walk?

A groundout to the 3rd baseman?

[Hrbowski]

Twins need a better analytical department. Now Margot comes up two more times to face a righty, rather than have Julien face a lefty once and righty twice. Mind boggling stupidity. I'm looking forward to when Falvey is fired.

[RpR]

Margo gets screwed by the umpires or Julien strikes out, same result.

It did. He's out! And now he'll get 2 AB against right handers.

Seasoned vet...blah blah blah

[nicksaviking]

Going out on a limb here, but signing Rhys Hoskins > Carlos Santana.

[stringer bell]

Two pitches changed this game quite a bit.
