If Margot steps to the plate here as a pinch hitter, so help me...

Rocco doesn't PH for Kepler.

Lucky as all hell, but we'll take it!

Margot in da box

Rocco 

[Aggies7]

Rocco is a terrorist for continuing to PH Margot. It’s ****ing ridiculous 

[jaimedude]

Gross, Manuel Margot pinch hitting. Rocco just can't help himself. Our manager works hard at being a slave to the match-up's.  Mean the dude is 0 for 24 as pinch hitter. He Margot is one I would like to see if Dodgers would take hime back for Paxton. 

[TwinsCD]

0 for 25.  Great choice, Rocco. 

LET THE KID HAVE A SHOT!!!

[CRF]

Manny keeping the streak alive. 

[USAFChief]

Manny Margot-for-the-season

Took a missed flyball to score.  Not being negative.  Its the truth

[Aggies7]

There’s not a serious team in the league who could continue to PH a guy like Margot, especially in a crucial situation. Not a one.

[USAFChief]

I want one of the Rocco Support Group to take a shot at defending that.

Only a team that continues to trot out Thielbar in tight situations.

[karcherd]

This is almost getting embarrassing that Rocco keeps sending Margot up there to pinch hit.  What do you have to lose by letting Wallner hit.  And defense can't be the reason either, Wallner's defense is fine in LF.  This is almost getting to be a fireable offense.  If you insist on a RH pinch hitter try Martin, anyone other than Margot.

Rocco is unable to admit he's wrong.  Bad trait for a manager in any field of employment.

Not supporting, but did you really think he wouldn't ph there for Wallner?

Twins are 6th in runs scored......

The top 5 stingiest staffs as far as runs allowed this season entering today are the Braves, Mariners, Phillies, Guardians, and Royals.  Since we haven't seen Atlanta yet, the 6th stingiest is the Yankees.  In 27 games against those teams, the Twins have averaged 3.5 runs per game (95 in 27 games) for a W-L record of 11-16 (pending today's result).
