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.

He'll get there eventually.
 

That also implies at least 17 games he hasn't started

[Schmoeman5]

I have noticed 1 thing about the Pirates. They're hustling down the line on ground balls. Yeah they might not be the most talented team. But they play hard

[Aggies7]

25th in batting average, 23rd in OBP, 15th in OPS, 18th in runs.

This Tayler guy seems familiar.

Margot is that good?

How do the Twins hitting coaches still have jobs?

Yeah.  That baffles me most.  Twins pitching coaches should be fired, too.

It's an organization top to bottom hitting approach that needs to be changed. The other teams have effictive advance scouts that know how to pitch to the Twins, I'm not sure the Twins employ such scouts after this winters payroll cut fest.

LaPanta with the quote of the day. "and the Twins go quietly in the 8th".

[CoastiePilot08]

This team is both irrelevant and boring.

It's that iron curtain defense

[IndyTwinsFan]

The hitless wonders are on full display again!

AARGH. 

[jaimedude]

Am I the only one hoping Twins are ready to move on from Rocco? Bring In Toby  Gardenhire from the Saints, let his Dad be his bench coach. This  team needs a kick in the pants, and it's not like you can boot all the players.  Twins are stale and boring to watch.

... and borderline incompetent (offensively), to boot. 

[MABB1959]

SWR pitched like an ace and the offense AAA at best!

[ziggy]

Last night was the perfect opportunity for Rocco to go ballistic about the ball and strike calls. Show some fire, show the players something other than tomorrrow is another game. Get kicked out and rally your players to show some fire. This team has read the spring training press clips and think they can just show up and win. Ain't happening.

[Peter]

After today time to go on long winning streak!!! Win tomorrow/sweep homestand!!!

[ziggy]

The twins get a umpire bad call there.

[Aggies7]

This ballgame is OVAH

[Patzky]

101 mph doesn't fool em anymore when they see their guy throwing 104.

[Patzky]

Duran needs an AAA reset too..

[Aggies7]

A rusty Duran in a non save situation. Disaster
