Nice seeing Wallner get a swing at a lefty 

I agree,  It feels patronizing to be proud of Rocco for letting a left-handed starter bat... but that's kind of the shape of things these days.

You need to talk trash about him before every game he starts....

I don't think that is necessary, but credit for the reverse jinx does seem merited.

[mrtwinsfan]

Still thinking Willi  might be better in the long run , if he can get ONE day off, Rocco what u say ?

The homer probably helped with the decision making. Play the hot guy

[Patzky]

Pablo picking up steam now.

[wabene]

Nice pitch count for Pablo, they let him toss 109 his last time out. That was the 3rd time this season with 100+

only had 7-8 chances all year here,

[stringer bell]

Enjoying Plouffe's analysis.

[Patzky]

Would be nice to see Royce remain slump proof before the evening ends.

I like your thinking, maybe once Miranda gets back (tomorrow or Sunday??)

[Patzky]

May the odds be ever in your favor, Manny Margot.

[stringer bell]

Here we go--Margot pinch hitting.

[Parfigliano]

Of course Margot.  Of course an out.

[TwinsCD]

Unbelievable.  8-2 game is the perfect time to let Larnach face a lefty.  Nope.  Not this manager.  I tried to make this a no-negative posting night but I just can't with this silliness.

And now Manny is 0-26.

[Patzky]

Atta boy Royce

[mnfireman]

0-25 or 0-26??

 

[Aggies7]

I’m starting to think that manny margot might not be good at pinch hitting

Way way better then Smalley

[stringer bell]

I thought Roy was fine for the home stand. Both he and Plouffe know ball and hitting specifically, but TP is much more of a contemporary of today's players.

[Aggies7]

Good grief how many excuses does the booth need to make for the buxton miss? It was a tough play

[stringer bell]

Looks like one of those innings for López.

[Aggies7]

Finish the game? I just hope he finishes this inning

It was E-8

[Aggies7]

Oh boy.

Ruled a hit

I don’t think they give too many errors when the fielder slides,

Good call!  Perfect time to give Larnach the opportunity against a lefty.  As one the posters wrote in a different topic earlier today.... it's plain old fashion  stubornness.   Being stuborn is a horrible trait for a person in management regardless of the occupation.

[mnfireman]

What is it with the mental block of the 7th inning or 3rd time through line-up? Do what you've been doing all night - attack, get ahead, keep the fielders involved - lather, rinse, repeat...
