Larnach barrels up with results.  Astro's pitchers shortest non-ejection start of the year.  He got tossed in an earlier game for cheating.

He doesn't hit fly balls when runners are on 3rd though. Gotta work on that. Have to get that run in any way possible.

For those that lean on the radio broadcast, does it seem that Dazzle is off “on assignment” more often? 

I’m not complaining, mind you. 

I have been wondering. They snipe at each other more than I would expect too.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Jeffers should be able to square up here.

Yeah I asked that last week and nobody else seemed to notice. Is he not there again tonight? Seems like he’s there about 1/3 of the time anymore 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Thanks, ump.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Lol so much for squaring up but we'll take it.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Margot!

[Parfigliano]

Other then Rocco who didnt know the Astro's would change pitchers as soon as PH Margot was in the game.  Anyone.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Margot has been better of late. Need him to come through here.

[Aggies7]

Wow the contact play finally worked lol

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Got the run in at least.

And the lefty who was throwing had reverse splits. Jeffers hit was just the 3rd hit all year by a righthander???

They should stop the game authenticate the ball and give it to Rocco.

[HarmonK03]

Margot is now 0 for 15 pinch hitting and yet this is considered a strategic move.  At what point do you say it's not working and stick with the guy already in the game.

Come on Buck...

He drove in a run , get over it.

[David HK]

Nothing like a weak ground ball to short actually working out.  Hey, that's baseball, ain't it?  Good "job" Margot.

I detect sarcasm but I'd pick Margot against a right over Julien vs a lefty, same as Rocco.

[Linus]

Margot put the ball in play and they scored a run. Better than Julien striking out looking. It was the right call by Rocco. I get the b*tching when things don’t work but it literally worked out as drawn up. 

[Aggies7]

Jeffers caught that one right in the beans 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Jeffers really getting beat up back there...

He is 0 for 15, no hits and yet we continue to run him out there as a pinch hitter.  That is a great strategy being employed there.

Yes, but we have Margot and Santana ready to face Hader.🙃🤥 

[Aggies7]

That was a nasty sweeper

Or we give Julien, Kirilloff and Larnach opportunities against LH pitching and maybe we find out they can do better than the 0 for 15 pinch hitter.  You need to develop players for the season not just one game.

His batting average is higher than  Julein's , get over it.

[Aggies7]

Easily has another inning in him 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Pablo gets the 7th?
