Twins (Festa) vs Red Sox (Fitts): 9/20/24, 6:10pm

[KirbyDome89]

Boston is 1-14 with RISP and 17 Ks. Talk about rolling over.

Just scratch out a 2nd run against a team that clearly is ready for this season to be over ffs....

[NYCTK]

History! This makes it all worth it! What a season! 

[AceWrigley]

Nothing says Twins win like Manny Margot pinch hitting.

Or not.

If we make it there, he is on second next inning.

Margot time...

Oops!  I read that "Miller"... which seems far more accurate. 

As in go to the fridge and get one, you won't miss a thing.

[h2oface]

And once again, they just watch a close pitch for strike 3. Pathetic.

0-30. Nice round number, eh, Baldelli?

[TwinsAlmostWin]

What actual logic does it make to continuously PH Margot? 

[Gagnerules]

Earth to Rocco. The guy you keep using can’t hit the ball. Please try someone else.

[Danchat]

History has been achieved! Conglaturations Margot, make sure that baseball is saved for the Hall of Fame!

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

What an awful baseball team.

[mrtwinsfan]

Anyone still sticking up for our Manager of the year with the 0-30  move ??????  Idiot

[Parfigliano]

2 innings of Manfredball and they cant even get a guy to 3B.  Another loss squarely on the "hitters"

[karcherd]

Rocco needs to go just for that move alone, how stubborn can you be and against a RH pitcher.

[Western SD Fan]

And the record continues. If you're going to PH for Vasquez, why not let Jeffers hit? Jeffers has to come in the game anyway.

[jaimedude]

Thank you Twins, and thank you Rocco for being so handcuffed to your spreadsheets. 

[Vanimal46]

All this game was missing was another hitless Margot PH. 0-30 is amazing.

Hey Farmer can hit and catch!

[SD happy]

Why not Farmer? Julien?

[big dog]

At this point I just have to assume that Margot has some sort of blackmail going on over one of the Pohlads. There is just no other explanation.

Margot, just yuck. Rocco is consistent. Thus is close to an automatic out as there is in baseball. 

What is the definition of insanity...expecting different results?

[NYCTK]

You know, I'm really starting to suspect that rostering a player like Margot that excels at nothing is actually detrimental to the team. 

We'll have to bring him back next season to be sure. 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Has anyone in the media ever asked Rocco about his Margot obsession?

[ziggy]

why would you walk the leadoff hitter?

[h2oface]

This team would rather pop up and strikeout, than advance a runner with a bunt.

[jaimedude]

Rocco isn't it. 

[insagt1]

If I didn't know better I would be convinced the Twins hitters have been told to go up and look clueless. What incredibly weak, useless AB's. Now its raining hard. Good time for Sox to just dink one into the outfield to end this mess. Margot didn't even try in his futile AB.  Winning run back at 3rd for Boston.
