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

Please remind me of the definition of insanity.

not sure I love Duran here. Threw a ton last night 

[USAFChief]

And once again, you don't have to throw the ball in the strike zone to get a Twins hitter out in an RBI situation

Another example of a veteran swinging at garbage in a clutch spot.  Apparently, Santana is the only one in this lineup that knows how to put together a professional at-bat in a big spot.

Not swinging at strike three and expecting to get on base.

 

Every

 Damn

Time

Back on the ground. Didn't expect a 4-4 tie. Didn't expect Duran back on the mound! 

[Patzky]

We're gonna need Varland in the pen for this weekend.

I love that move well done Rocco 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Walk them off, boys.

[Patzky]

All the CRAP that has happened today we are still in a great spot here. Someone get hold of one

 

 

[CCHOF5yearstoolate]

Seems like Duran should only throw offspeed

[Parfigliano]

No Manfred ball today please

[SF Twins Fan]

Why does Rocco continue to try Margot as a pinch hitter?  He's 0-25..... At some point you have to realize using him as a pinch hitter isn't working.

[Patzky]

Lefty! Let's PH Margot! 

 Oh yeah..

Have to find a way to win this one. Two games against Milwaukee and last night against the Phillies. Winnable games that are lost because there's no execution. Someone needs to come through.

Rocco loves his analytics. At some point, the #'s said Margot is a viable option as pinch hitter - but does he not use updated numbers as the season goes along? There's no excusing 0-25.

Game threads: where Rocco hate comes to thrive

Where exactly would you expect anyone to post their objections to in game decisions? 
Would you prefer everyone to sit on their hands and live in an echo chamber?

Boring

[Patzky]

Damn who's left. HBP Larnach

[Patzky]

Starting to think retaliate. Am I a bad person.?

[TwinsCD]

Fine time to bunt Martin here...

[TwinsCD]

Now it's a REALLY fine time to bunt Martin.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Lay a bunt down...

[jaimedude]

Soto wild yesterday. Let's not bail him out again. 

[Parfigliano]

Philly gives 2 gifts now to put guy on 2nd 0 out

[Tlaker]
