Always nice to make an opposing opener who hasn't been able to throw strikes, and #5 rotation/fringe AAAA guy look like a Cy Young candidate.

Unless I missed something….. the longest at bat in the game has been 7 pitches.

They all must have dinner plans….

Well…… now 10. Hayes probably wasn’t invited to dinner.

[Aggies7]

Can we please get the young guy a win already

[Patzky]

Call up Tony Kemp! Hell at this point call up Tony Oliva.

He has certainly earned one.

Has anyone mentioned where's Provus today?  Who's doing P-B-P?

It's Anthony LaPanta. I don't know where Cory is.

This team has a history of this…..

[MABB1959]

No hits from Correa, Burton or Lewis?  What heck!!!

[Patzky]

Geez Miranda. The guy has thrown all of 12 big league pitches..

[Aggies7]

Really hard to GIDP 3 times when you’ve only had 4 hits

[MABB1959]

Wish they would give SWR the 7th and see what he has.  

[Patzky]

It's time.

 

To insert Manny Margot.

[SD happy]

Man, these past five games, the offense is painful to watch.

[Patzky]

Castro has made more contact with his body than the Twins have with their bats..

After the pitching change I'd come back with Santana.  Oh well.

This game reminds me of the Instant Classic last night in The Bronx!

 

Nah..

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Almost came through... Kinda almost at least.

[mrtwinsfan]

Margot is now 0-17 as a pinch hitter,  

[HarmonK03]

Margot is now 0 for 17 in pinch hitting appearances.  At what point does the front office and Rocco be held accountable for their horrible decision making.  This is getting harder and harder to stomach trying to watch.

[Aggies7]

Respect for letting SWR come back out 

[Doctor Gast]

You'd think that they'd know that when MN bring in Margot they'd bring in a RHP, producing a worse matchup 

[Patzky]

Game over. :(

Yep and he is still a Twin because of his salary. Rocco and his always stick to the play call sheets, never just go with a baseball gutt move. Argh! Watching Manny Margot pinch hitting is like getting a boil on your butt.  This guy should be DFA'd for ineffective play.

The iPad doesn't have that possibility programmed in,

[Fatbat]

Well that sucked

[Aggies7]

What a shame. “Should have taken him out” will be the thing remembered and not the fact that we’ve done diddly poo offensively all game 

[Peter]

Game over😡👎wasted excellent pitching by SWR

[Aggies7]

Oh ffs. 

[Aggies7]

Kid deserved a better fate than this slop fest
