Phillies v Twins; 7/24 @ 12:10pm CT

[Road trip]

*Shocked* the Twins moved a runner over.

[Patzky]

Soto is all over.. 

[Parfigliano]

Contact please kep

[TwinsCD]

If you're the Phillies, why wouldn't you walk Kepler to set up a DP, even if it's our best clutch hitter?  Oh, right, cuz Kepler can't hit a lefty to save his life.

Max, just make contact. Please...

[Patzky]

[TwinsCD]

I got nothing! 😂😂😂

[Aggies7]

The wild pitch was the biggest play

[jaimedude]

Winner winner!

[Patzky]

Twins opponent did Twin things! Now about Buxton..

I will say this. Rocco is maddening as a manager. The Pohlad's completely sabotaged the off-season. But, the players on this team do have a lot of heart and there's zero quit.

[Aggies7]

Nice to beat a top team

"1-4 homestand this team sucks"

Been infiltrated by (215) who don't like (1-2)

[Parfigliano]

Glad they won.  Realistically they did it with a Philly misplayed flyball to LF to score to tie and an HBP with a WP chaser to get winning run.  Thats not negative its facts.

It was surprising to see Rocco employ the bunt in the 9th.  Hold that thought Rocco.

Would be nice if Pohlads would quit crying poverty for once in their lives. The team makes money. They did last year with a higher payroll. The players hang tough and win even with injury's. Would be nice if they would reward field staff and players with some help without trying to hand cuff front office. Not expecting big add in payroll, but please let the front office improve the team!

There's always some luck involved, but winning 2 of 3 against the best team in 2024 (so far) without Correa, Miranda, and Lewis is great, though unexpected.

"great points" I guess you mean all the posts trashing Rocco after he bunted the winning run to 3rd, doing exactly what those people wanted!

The hypocrisy is exhausting, so I thumbs down. I think you'll live!

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

So Rocco goes with the prevailing wisdom / common sense move - after ignoring it on multiple occasions - and people have hurt feelings because he's not being showered with praise? lol. Only on TD.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

lol @ Okert on Twins Live right now.

"Rocco sucks but at least his players want to win" when they win, "Rocco sucks" when they lose. Way to keep the players accountable!
