I hate it when Rocco plays righty lefty this early in the game.

Oh my god lol

[Vanimal46]

Stay hot Miranda!! 

[Aggies7]

I thought Margot was going to be hosed for sure

[Patzky]

They are gonna start walking 64 every time up.

[Shaitan]

Tuned out for a while. So...Miranda has hits in 8 consecutive AB?

[2wins87]

Damn Miranda! Incredible.

Didn't like running on Alvarez there but it worked out

Yeah, questionable to send him there,

[Patzky]

Christ nobody can get him home?

[Aggies7]

The idea of making good contact with a guy at third and less than 2 outs continues to elude us

[TwinsCD]

I really dislike the decision making on the contact play.

This is a terrible challenge idea.  Miranda is nowhere close for that to even be a thing.

Nine. 

[Parfigliano]

Bad base running.  Again.  Bad challenge.  Again.

[Aggies7]

Man, Rocco was certain that was going to be overturned 😂

[Patzky]

Scoring runs is like pulling teeth. It's inevitable but excruciatingly tough to see.

[BH67]

The MLB record for consecutive hits is 12 at-bats. Thirteen streaks of at least 10 have occurred since 1960, one of which was accomplished by Jose Altuve.

Jeffers can’t play every game.

Which is a good thing.

[Aggies7]

Been missing opportunities all night.

[LewFordLives]

Lot of missed opportunities tonight. Very frustrating.

There were some puzzling blocking calls when they first implemented that rule. One very questionable with Gary Sanchez that I remember.

They seem to have gotten better though and I agree that one was not blocking.

Lee family is a multi-generation baseball family, and Larry is very stoic well studied baseball guy.  Brooks was the best hitter I have seen at Cal Poly, hoping he can do the same for the Twins.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

If that isn't blocking the plate, do away with the rule. That's ridiculous.

Which kinda strengthens the argument that he has no feel for real time decisions….. only computer driven decisions

Not a fan of Max  having to think while batting

[TwinsCD]

Attaboy, Rocco...way to not recognize that Pablo's lost it.

[USAFChief]

Atta boy Pablo.
