Is it a rule that Twins hitters can’t take a pitch or two?

It's Margot time!

He shockingly has a better batting average than Kiriloff... and isn't Margot 0 for 18 pinch-hitting? Maybe this is time for hit #1.

Blinked and missed it!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

C'mon Buxton!

[jaimedude]

Ugh, Margot. Predictable results. Not exactly a stellar defensive guy. 

[Patzky]

So nothing got out of the infield..

I think ya missed the whole half inning.

Which is to say, not much.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Buxton is a net negative.

[Tlaker]

7 pitches and 3 outs. Pathetic

Not a ball left the infield..

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Either the front office thinks the three headed monster hitting coach is doing it's job and the hitters are to blame, or...

They think the problem isn't with the hitters but with the hitting coaches.

Changes need to be made...

[Patzky]

Seriously look at the bench. Rocco doesn't have a toolbox and the tools he has are busted.

[karcherd]

When does he stop pinch hitting Margot, it is not working.  This is just pure stubornness on the part of Rocco to continue sending him up there to pinch hit when he is not successful.

Thanks for picking up on my reference.

Wonder what it would be like wearing the shades at a ball game.

Yes! Also “long suffering “.    sigh

But at least we were able to see 3 WS and 2 WS victories!

I feel sorry for the young guys that have never even had a sniff at one, and the way this FO operates, may never ever see one!

Plouffe - Saying Buxton should be Leadoff.? any Credibility you Might of had , is  Gone

[jaimedude]

Dang, another walk. Hope this doesn't bite the Twins.

I don't know... He should also be hitting the ball and getting on base.

 

Shouldas are almost as bad as cants.

He also thinks putting him there that Byron would adjust his approach, ,   = ?

The Margot PAs were determined in March. 

They'll be reassessed in November. 

By computers.

Yeah...I know I won't be around for the next one...whenever that is.

I'd be more worried about what we'd see wearing those shades! We might see who's REALLY running things!

I like Cory, but I have to admit...I don't mind LaPanta doing PBP. They should've gotten rid of Atteberry, and had Provus and LaPanta as the radio/tv PBP guys. Just a little tidbit...if I recall correctly, LaPanta was in the booth doing PBP with Bert, when Bert dropped his famous "F" Bombs on live tv. 

You remember correctly

Hello Mr Taylor.

[Aggies7]

Good throw had him.
